Casting Your Spells – Working by the Moon

Casting Your Spells

Working By The Moon

Moon time is the oldest measurement of time used by humans and it accords with our natural rhythms in the lives of men as well as women. In magick, we primarily look to the moon for timings.

The waxing or increasing moon from the crescent to the night before the full moon is potent for all forms of attracting magick, for the gradual increase of money, love, happiness or health and for fertility spells. These powers will grow daily as the physical moon size increases, to reach their height on the full moon.

The full moon represents a surge of power that can be plugged into for fertility, that consummation of love or commitment, a major money gain or for launching a creative venture. Also, because the full moon is unstable, this day and night is good for initiating change.

The waning moon helps us to let go of what we no longer need or wish for in our lives and banish pain, sorrow or a destructive influence; a perfect phase for starting diet spells. As the moon decreases in size so the pull that holds negative people or factors in your life likewise weakens.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for July 15 – ‘St. Swithin’s Day’

Today’s ‘St. Swithin’s Day’ is named after a British bishop who is associated with a famous rhyme that maintains that whatever the weather is like today, so it will be for the next forty days, especially if the forecast is for rain. A little ditty that tags along with this forecast goes like this: ‘St. Swithin’s Day if it does rain, Full forty days it will remain, St. Swithin’s Day, if it be fair, For forty days ’twill rain no more.’ Just in case this weather report holds true and it rains today, let’s use a different way to part the clouds. Eastern European customs says the smoke produced from burning the herb mugwort in your fireplace will disperse the storm as it enters the atmosphere. So if you find yourself in the midst of one summer storm after another, courtesy of a prediction made by a bishop who might have been all wet anyway, burn some mugwort in your fireplace. It’s time to bring some sun back to your beautiful summer days, no matter what St. Swithin says!

Best Time To Carry Out Spells And Rituals

Best Time To Carry Out Spells and Rituals

If a need is urgent then you can work at any time and picture the full moon or rising dawn whose energies you need, even at a different time of the month or at darkest midnight.

Sometimes the nature of the ritual will dictate the timing. For example, a new beginning spell can be launched on any new date; the first day of the month, the first day of the year, any Sunday, the first day of the week, the first hour after dawn or at the crescent moon when it first appears in the sky. Best of all is the first hour after dawn on a Sunday, which is ruled by the Sun, and so offers a double dose of power for that new beginning.
