The when, where, and why of using moon water

What is moon water?

Moon water is water charged under the moon, often during the new or full moon, to have the energy from that moon phase. 

How do you make it?

Fill your vessel with water (and stones or herbs to be more specific). Put that vessel in a spot that gets some moonlight. This could be a window, on your porch, in your car, etc., after the sun has fully set. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for an hour or overnight, just make sure you retrieve it before the sun comes up. Store in a dark place, out of sunlight.

Tips:

-Only make as much as you think you need: Okay, a few things. The water loses its charge the longer it sits. I recommend recharging it once a month (During the next moon cycle). The other side of this is physical. Sitting water isn’t great for you, microbes and stuff can grow it in. It’s just better off to make sure you only make as much as you need at the time. There will always be another full moon, you don’t need a Costco sized bottle of moon water. 

-On the same topic, store under a cloth, or in a dark place. Make sure it’s out of the sunlight when not being used. This is more of a physical worry, like stated above. The sunlight may help things like bacteria, microbes or algae to grow, and that’s just not something you want on your altar.

Uses:

Moon water is a great thing to use to cleanse or anoint your tools if that’s something you would like to do. 

Add to potions, drinks or meals to give them a more powerful effect. (You should only be using moon water that was prepared within 24 hours of the meal. I do not condone using moon water that has set for any long period of time before being consumed)

Can be used in place of oils in spells or rituals 

Water your plants with it

Use it as offerings to deities, fairfolk, and/or spirit guides ______________________

Some simple recipes to get you started

Cleansing spray: Take a few sprigs of rosemary and sea salt and put it into a spray bottle of your liking. Add just enough moon water to cover the rosemary. Let it sit for about 72 hours, and then use it to spray down tools, sacred spaces, candles, etc. to bring a cleansing, purifying energy. 

Cleaning spray: Take that same rosemary sprigs and salt, put that in a bottle, and use half moon water and half vinegar. Let this sit for a week or so, and then use it as a multipurpose cleaning spray around the house.

Think Beacon of Hope or Blade of Disaster

Auras also usually fit under this category with Aura of Vitality

Backing Band Cantrip Casting Time: 1BA Range: Self Components: V Duration: 1 hour (concentration) School: Illusion

Whenever you make a performance check during the duration, music of your choice emanates from the area around you. You may choose to stop the music at any time, and doing so does not end the spell.

You may choose to have the music seem to appear from no visible source, from an instrument you are playing, or from obviously illusory figures that appear within 10 feet of your space. No save or check is required to determine the illusory nature of the music or of the figures should they be present. You determine the nature of both the music and the figures. The music originates from your space, and moves with you. The music is a result of your performance, and as such provides no bonus to the check.

The music continues for the duration of your performance up to one hour while you maintain concentration. At the end of the spell's duration, you may cast Backing Band again with no action required if your performance is ongoing, and the music continues as if uninterrupted. If you cast the spell this way, it ends immediately when the performance does. You may continue casting the spell this way as long as your performance is uninterrupted.
