Magickal Spotlight #1 - Moon Magick

It is common for pagans to work their magick alongside the phases of the moon. After all, the moon is considered extremely powerful, for it not only has the power to influence the tides of our oceans, but some say it can even influence our moods and emotions.

If you're curious to know about working your magick alongside the moon, you should first learn your moon phases. There are a total of 4 moon phases, and you're able to work magick for 5-7 days for each phase. The four moon phases are: The New Moon, the Waxing Moon, the Full Moon, The Waning Moon.

- The New Moon

This is when the moon is at its darkest, but you can see a sliver of moonlight along its rim. It should be noted that when the moon has no light, some people consider that the Dark Moon, and this is the time in which you do not want to perform any magick--of course, this is dependent on the practitioner's personal belief.

When the moon shows the faintest sliver of light, this is the time when things are at their weakest, but will continue to grow strong. It is the time to "plant the seed" so-to-speak.
