You’ve probably heard a million times how powerful the moon is in witchcraft—and it’s true. But you don’t need to be a walking moon calendar to work with her energy. Let’s keep it simple, useful, and powerful.
New Moon – Set It in Motion
This is your fresh start energy. It’s a blank slate. If you’re setting intentions, starting something new, or planting the seed of a spell—this is the time.
Light a candle, journal what you want, whisper it to the moon, whatever feels right. You’re telling the universe: I’m ready.
Waxing Moon – Call It In
Now the moon is growing, and so is your energy. Think attraction, growth, magnetism.
Do your money spells, confidence rituals, love work, or anything you want more of.
Full Moon – Power Up
This is peak energy. If you’re gonna do something big or intense—this is the night.
Manifest. Release. Charge your tools. Dance naked under the moon if you want to.
It’s the time for clarity, truth, and breakthroughs.
Waning Moon – Cut It Off
Time to let go. This moon phase is perfect for cord cutting, banishing, protection, and anything you want gone.
Old habits, toxic people, mental fog—it all goes now. You’re clearing space for the next cycle.
Simple Ways to Work with the Moon
- Keep a moon calendar or just Google what phase we’re in (no shame)
- Make moon water under the full or new moon and use it in your baths or spellwork
- Don’t stress about timing—your intent is more powerful than the date
Working with the moon isn’t about being perfect. It’s about syncing up with energy that’s already around you. Use it to guide your rituals, or even just your mindset.
You don’t have to do a full ritual every moon. Light a candle, say a spell, or just breathe with intention.
The moon’s always there. So is your power.
