New Moon: Manifestation Rituals
New Moon rituals focus on planting seeds of intention. Write your desires on paper, light a green or white candle, and visualize your intentions taking root in the fertile dark of the new moon.
Waxing Moon: Attraction & Growth Rituals
During the waxing moon, perform rituals that attract and grow. Money-drawing spells, love attraction workings, and career advancement rituals are most effective during this phase.
Full Moon: Harvest & Release Rituals
The Full Moon is the most powerful phase for ritual. Perform manifestation rituals, gratitude practices, and release workings. The moon's full illumination makes everything visible and amplifies the power of your intent.
Waning Moon: Protection & Banishing Rituals
During the waning moon, perform banishing rituals, protection workings, and spells to remove obstacles. The decreasing lunar energy is perfect for cutting away what no longer serves.
Dark Moon: Shadow Work & Deep Rituals
The Dark Moon, the invisible void between the old and new cycle, is ideal for deep shadow work, divination, and resting. It is not a time for action but for deep inner exploration.
