Moon Magick: Love and Lunacy!

In honor of tonight's Full Moon and torrential winter rain in Los Angeles I thought I'd talk a little bit about the moon, it's effect on our natal charts and magick to be performed in harmony with the lunar calendar.

Magick According to the Moon

Waxing: When the moon is growing magick to increase, attract, bring, benefit is performed. Love spells to an old love, beauty spells to increase attractiveness, communication spells to increase discussion, money spells to bring customers, fertility spells, etc.

Full: The full moon is a particularly auspicious time to perform spell work. Timing a spell to end on a full moon or begin on a full moon -- depending on intention is often done. One day/one night spells are also good to perform on the full moon such as when working with a votive or other short burn candle. Since it is altogether auspicious black magick or spells normally performed during the waning or dark moon can also be performed though personally I favor the full moon for spells which fall under the waxing moon arena more.

Waning: When the moon is waning magick to banish, break-up, cleanse, remove is performed. Stop gossip, destroy bad habits, break-up lovers, banish enemies, perform house cleansings, perform personal cleansings.

Dark: For about two days the moon is considered "dark" as it is barely visible in the sky. When the moon is dark this is a good time for heavier spells dealing with death, the dead, and serious hexes. Also a good time for divination.

New: When the moon is new this is a particularly good time to do spells which have to do with new ventures. Spells to attract new, draw luck for a new business, draw luck and protection for an event. I use this time to usually do benefic spells that are a bit more unknown in nature.

Some Facts

• More children are conceived during the waxing moon than at any other time during the lunar cycle.
• Full moon really heightens the emotionality of some people. outbursts, fights, and moodiness may result. however, some people who have a lot of water or Cancer in their astrological chart may actually feel happy and most at ease at this time depending on transits.
• Full moon has been attributed innumerable scientific studies as a major contributor to erratic human behavior.

Some Tips

• Try to keep a lunar dream diary for as long as you can. Rank your dreams by intensity or peacefulness. See if there is any correlation to the lunar calendar. This can help you find out how sensitive or insensitive you are to the phases of the moon - very useful for a pagan in terms of spell work and divination.
• Capture the magick of the moon by collecting rainfall at night, placing magickal objects by the light of the full moon such as wands, talismans, and mirrors.

Happy February Full Moon everyone!
