How to charge Magickal items using the moon

Charging items under the moon is super simple! You just need a candle, a bowl of water, and the items you want to charge.

This is from my BOS I hope it is helpful for you as well!

How to perform a new or full moon-charging ritual

If the items can be washed, then rinse them under a running faucet or more preferably a natural body of water such as a creek, lake, pond, or the ocean before placing them in the chosen area.

Fill a bowl(preferably clear glass or if making moon water a clear glass jar with a tight fitting lid, so the moon light can penetrate through it)with water and add a sprinkle of natural sea salt. Sea salt is used in cleansing exercises, as salt is known to absorb and neutralize negative energy upon contact.

After sunset on a full or new moon, place the bowl or jar outside on the ground so that the moonlight can reflect on the water(if it is a new moon and there is no illumination, the water will still absorb the lunar energy radiating from the moon).

Light a candle and, if preferred, also burn sage or incense to cleanse the space around you.

Place the items you wish to cleanse in your hands and raise them up toward the moon.(We do not need to do this part of the ritual with all items—the larger items can be placed directly on the ground and we can save this practice for our jewelry, stones, or smaller sacred items.)

Relax into a light meditation and once the mind feels balanced, inhale deeply, slowly lower your items, and gently blow over them while maintaining a calm, positive mindset. Blowing on the items dusts away harmful debris or discordant entities that may have attached to them.

Close your eyes and envision the universe’s energies penetrating the items while saying a prayer or chanting an affirmation.

This is one I chant:

Divine goddesses of the Earth, moon, and stars, Unite and fill my items with a positive, abundant charge, this is my will so note it be. With faith I send out heart-centered gratitude.

If the items can be left in water, then place them in the bowl otherwise place them next to the bowl. I bury certain items, such as crystals, jewelry or talismans, in the earth so that Earth’s energy can realign and recharge them, as well.

As you place them down, say out loud the intention you would like to set for the item. If all you wish to do is cleanse the energy, then say something like “I ask for the negative energies to be transmuted and replaced with positive energies.” but feel free to say anything that feels right to you.

If the area outside is not secure, you can leave the bowl and items indoors on a window ledge.

Leave the items spread out so they can charge through the night.

Notes:

Please remember, there is no right or wrong way to practice. Do what feels natural and right for you. This is just meant to act as a guide to help you on your path.

If it is a cloudy night and the moon is not visible, the practice will still be effective.
