A clear and present flow

so you're a bit confused about the different phases of the moon or how and what they do or you're just too lazy to actively hunt down the info and put it in your grimoire. No worries, your witch dad is here to help you :)

New Moon:

new moon, happens every month, start of a new lunar cycle.

cannot be seen, sun behind moon-lighting side faced away from the earth.

best for: new beginnings, setting intentions for the month, best place to make plans and decide what to do.

Waxing Moon:

seen as crescent in the sky, illuminated on right-hand side as sun slowly starts to move from behind the moon. first sign that energy is building and in a few days the moon will be at full power

best for: working on self-confidence/compassion/self-assurance. put plans into place to reach goals. build yourself up

First Quarter:

can see a clear half-moon in the sky. at half power. sun is side by side with moon

best for: reflection, taking a pause, revel in what you have been working on and celebrate achievements. think about how u want to celebrate full moon, get ready for serious action.

Waxing Gibbous:

slither of dark moon left unseen. one step away from full power

best for: one phase away from full, hone in on intentions/goals/actions.

make sure you are paying attention to details and staying mindful of what is externally and internally happening

Full Moon:

Big boy moon. Full power. can tap into her energy to help gain insight or to 💫manifest💫. most powerful time of the moon

best for: manifestations, adding more power to your intentions. good for rituals/spells. great time for releasing or banishing rituals, manifestations spells and meditation. good for charging and cleansing. Moon water

Waning Gibbous:

winding down of moons power. sun is moving away and taking its light with it.

best for: turn inwards and evaluate what has happened over last few days. think about full moon ritual/meditation and readjust your intentions goals for the rest of the month

Third Quater:

illuminated on the left side. back to half power and is fading.

best for: let go of what is holding you back, let go of any negativity in your life. Examples: self-limiting beliefs, people who aren’t great for you or your life, fear and basically anything that isn’t serving you or letting you progress in your life. Cleanse yourself and home.

Waning Moon:

power of moon is nearly over. small crescent left in night’s sky. nearly time for new moon and new beginnings.

Put it above your door: If your ash comes from incense or an herb bundle, the ash shares the same correspondences and power as the herb. I’ve met some who think it’s even stronger, as it’s been activated. You can either use the bundle to make a light mark above a door frame or it can be done with a finger. This can be powerful protection, luck bringing, or love inducing, depending on your intent and correspondence

Use it in spells: Why get rid of something so powerful? As mentioned, the ash still has power and energy. Your correspondence is based on what was burned. You can use it in place of that herb if you’re out, or in addition. 

Use it in anointing: While it’s often used in conjunction with oil, ash has a long history of being used in anointing. Burning holy herbs, and then using a finger to swipe cooled ash onto someone being anointed is a powerful piece of the ceremony

Bury it: A lot of witches, including myself, find that burying the remnants of a spell is incredibly powerful. It’s often seen as giving respect to the earth for the power it gives. The phrase ashes to ashes, dust to dust comes to mind. It’s essentially the ending of a spell, returning the ash to the earth

Ward your home: Sprinkling protective herbs and ash around the perimeter of your home can help ward against negative energy and evil spirits.
