It can be pretty easy to get confused about moon phases, so I'm going to give y'all a little cheat sheet here. It's what I've got in my Grimoire and hasn't failed me since I've started using it. Super beginner-friendly, easy to copy, and you can adjust it to your preference as needed.

Enjoy!

The new moon: Setting new or refreshing old intentions, new beginnings, fresh starts, and trying new things.

The waxing moon: Future planning, confidence in yourself, and being sure in your actions and life steps.

The first quarter: Self-appreciation, pausing to enjoy the moments, reflection on yourself, shadow work.

The waxing gibbous moon: Being mindful of yourself and those around you, honing your skills and talents, taking actions.

The full moon: Manifestation, shadow/inner work, divination, charging magic tools/crystals/moon water.

The waning gibbous moon: Evaluating next steps, reviewing choices and options, and assessing your options/skills.

The third quarter: Releasing worries and troubles, letting hard things go, cleansing mind, body, and soul.

The waning moon: Self-love and self-care, caring for yourself and/or others, forgiving yourself, and surrendering to your next steps.

Although it may not be perfect, this is the chart that I plan m practice around and it's yet to fail me!

As always, practice in a cleansed space and always do your own research. Good luck everyone, and blessed be!

Prep - 75 min

Ingredients

Cream Cheese Layer

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese (softened)

4 tbsp powdered sugar (sifted)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pumpkin Layer

1 can pumpkin pure

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp all spice

1 pinch of salt

Crust

1 9″ graham cracker pie crust (store bought)

Maple Bourbon Meringue

1 cup egg whites

1 cup light brown sugar

¼ cup maple syrup

1 tbsp bourbon

½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven at 350F.

To make the Cream Cheese Layer

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread into graham cracker pie crust.

To make the Pumpkin Layer

In a separate bowl, whisk all the ingredients until smooth and pour over the cream cheese layer. Smooth the top with an angled spatula. Place in the center of the oven rack.

Bake until firm around 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before topping with meringue.

To make the Meringue

In a small saucepan, bring an inch of water to a simmer.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla,  and set over the saucepan. Make sure it doesn’t touch the simmering water. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely and the whites are warm. Feel the mixture between two fingers: It should have a smooth consistency, without any granules.

Place the bowl on the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the tablespoon of bourbon and reduce speed to low, beat until combined.

Once the cheesecake cools, pat the top carefully with a paper towel to remove moisture. Spread the meringue on top. Use a small offset spatula to achieve swoops and swirls. You can brown the meringue in the oven, but for more control or prettier results use a kitchen torch.

If using a torch, hold the flame at a 90-degree angle three inches from the meringue. Move around the pie until the meringue starts to brown.
