| New The new moon is a time for healing and growth. This is a great time for new projects and ideas. It appears as a crescent moon. |
| Waxing This is when the moon is growing from the crescent moon to the full moon. This phase lasts for 14 days and is symbolic of all new things. New beginnings of love, work, school, health and ideas. The waxing moon corresponds to the Maiden (also the worrier and virgin) aspect of the Triple Goddess, and it is the proper time for performing rituals in honour of her. It is also the appropriate time to perform spells and rituals involving all forms of growth, strengthening and the increasing of things such as love, good luck, money, health etc. |
| Full This phase lasts for 6 days, 3 days before the actual full moon and 3 days after. The energy of a full moon increases a witch's psychic powers. Therefore the full moon is said to be the most favourable time of all to perform divinations as well as spells and rituals that can increase psychic abilities. The full moon corresponds to the Mother aspect of the Triple Goddess, making it a very poerful phase for working with all forms of fertility magick. Full moons also enhance the power of spells that involve sensuality, creativy and nuturing. |
| Waning This is when the moon is shrinking from full to new. This phase lasts for 14 days. The waning moon corresponds to the Crone aspect of the Triple Goddess and is the proper lunar phase in which to honour her. This is also the correct time to reverse spells, decrease, banish and destroy things such as diseases, addictions and bad luck. Crone honouring rites are traditionallly performed at this time as this is the time of the month when the powers are at thier greatest. The Crone represents maturity of wisdom, spiritual peace, a time of endings that are leading to new beginnings and death that brings forth new life. |
| Dark The Dark Moon occurs 3 days before the New Moon. It is not visible in the sky, hence its name. Traditionally, no magick is performed at this time. |
