Moon Phases .............
It has been known for centuries that the Moon has an effect on various Magickal
Spellsworkings through the various Energy Levels produced with the varying
Phases of the Moon. Magickal Spells cast to Increase something should be Cast
when the Moon is Waxing, becoming more Full. Magickal Spells intended to
Reduce something should be Cast when the Moon is Waning, or diminishing. Full
Moon Workings should take place as near as possible to the time when the
Moon is Full, for Maximum Energies and Effectiveness. The most effective Magick
Spell Workings are done during the time of the Full Moon.
