The Moon phase for March 25th, 2026 is the First Quarter phase. In this phase, exactly half of the moon is illuminated and half is in darkness.

The First Quarter phase comes roughly 7 days after the New Moon and this is when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around the Earth (hence the name, First Quarter). The moon will be high overhead at sunset in this phase and will be visible until mid-night, when it sets in the west.

The First Quarter of the moon phase cycle happens on one day. It’s followed by the intermediate phase, Waxing Gibbous, and will become more illuminated every day until it reaches the Full Moon phase.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

In this exploration of ancient fertility magic and paganism, we delve into the multifaceted world of fertility rituals, unlocking the mysteries of the womb, uncovering the practices of fertility magic, and exploring the rich tapestry of traditions from cultures around the world.

Spell for Tomorrow – Witchcraft Spells for Strength

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. You can find the origin of the spell by clicking on the hyperlink.)

Witchcraft Spells for Strength

Strength and power comes to those who use these spells. Strength is not only physical strength but also mental and magical.
When casting these spells, the target of the spell becomes stronger for a short period of time. These spells can not be reversed by magic but will wear off over time. Unlike other spells which wear off over time, the strength of the caster does not determine how long the spell lasts, but more the effect of how strong the target becomes.

Quickly clear your mind and say this. It will increase your physical strength.
“Strength of Day,
Strength of Night,
Give me strength,
Beyond my sight.”
This is a fairly simple spell, and of course you should change it according to your tastes.
–1 white candle (probably the bigger the better) –mirror
The candle should be cleansed before you begin, and could be infused with white energy,
the energy of love and strength. Meditate upon your intentions before you begin. why do
you need to empower yourself? Is it because you wish to realize the beauty within yourself,
or you wish others to see the beauty or strength you know that lies within you.
This spell also works best if you do a cleansing of yourself, whether it is bath or shower or just
visualize all of the negativity that you are carrying with you washing away.
The candle should be placed in front of the mirror, and the mirror should face you.
Light the candle. Feel the positive energy emanating from the candle.
If you worship a deity, call upon them to help you. Chant or say a prayer. This is an example:
I walk in beauty with the Goddess.
I am strength. I am beauty. I am will. I am love.
She is within me. All who see me, know Her.

Ingredients:

Purple bag or cloth Vervain Dragon’s blood resin Rosemary
Frankincense Galangal or ginger root High John oil, personal power oil or Dragon’s blood oil
1 Clear quartz crystal A personal talisman Purple Candle

Directions:

I suggest making up your own directions and spell for this one because it is a very personal pouch.
Add ingredients or objects that have meaning to you. One suggestion:
Try to sew on some small semi-precious stone chips or a stitched personal symbol.

This is a small spell I use quite often. Mostly when I’m stressing out because I can’t open
that pickle jar, the box is a little too heavy, or when the screwdriver just wont turn.

First, quickly clear your mind. Then repeat the following verse three times:Strength of day
Strength of night
Give me strength
Beyond my sight.
Now try that little chore agian it should be a lot easier than before!

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Monday

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY CORRESPONDENCES POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Monday

 

Monday is the day of the moon itself, and it’s a day that’s connected to lunar colors like silver, white, or even a pale blue.

Metals and gemstones like silver, pearl, opal and moonstone all come into play today.

There are plenty of deities associated with the moon – Thoth and Diana for instance – and

herbal correspondences include many members of the mint family. Utilize wintergreen or peppermint, as well as catnip, comfrey, sage and chamomile in your workings.

When it comes to Monday magic, because of that lunar connection, it’s a good time to focus on workings related to childbearing and family life, purity and virginity, healing, wisdom, and intuition.

Do a little bit of self exploration and work on developing your intuition – learn to trust your gut.

Celebrate birth and life, and make some magic to fix what is broken.

The Moon phase for March 24th, 2026 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase
