by Trita Today at 5:44 pmWhether or not you feel a significant connection to the moon, the phases of the moon have an effect on the magical abilities of Wiccans. Different phases of the moon call for different phases of reflection. When the moon is full, the time is ripe for magic. It is best to keep a lunar calendar or use an app with reminders, to be aware of how the moon may be affecting you.
The cycles of the moon represent, for traditional Wiccans, the life cycle of women embodied by the Triple Goddess. The Triple Goddess in the form of the moon experiences birth at the new moon, and completion at the full moon. When the moon is waxing, or growing brighter, a Wiccan's power is growing stronger day by day. The waxing moon symbolizes the Goddess's journey from Maiden to Mother. When the moon is waning, or growing darker, it is time for Wiccans to rest, reflect, study, and prepare for the next lunar cycle. The waxing moon represents the Goddess's journey from Mother to Crone.
The new moon is a time to think about your goals for the coming month. It is a time of reflection rather than a time for action. The next moon phase, the waxing crescent moon, is a time to begin creating plans on how to achieve those goals. The first quarter moon is when Wiccans can begin to move towards these goals and think creatively. The waxing gibbous moon is a time of significant power, where Wiccans feel in harmony with the forces of nature and prepare the rituals for the coming full moon.
During the full moon, there are many things that can be done. Crystals, water, and other magical tools can be set out for cleansing and to charge with lunar energy. If you work with a group, consider having an esbat to celebrate, socialize, and practice together. If you are a solitary witch, the full moon is a perfect time to perform spells, enchant objects, or do any other important magical work. Don't forget in all the hustle and bustle to stop and enjoy the beauty of this special evening!
During the waxing period of the moon, celebrate all you have achieved that month. Remember that every day you become wiser, even as the magic of the lunar cycle winds down. Let go of the past, and understand that mistakes are opportunities for growth. During the dark moon, remember that all things happen in their own time. Banishing spells are strongest during the dark moon, but take great care. The spell may be more powerful than you realize, and someone you could have reconciled with may disappear from your life permanently.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is completely covered by the shadow of the Earth. While logic may tell us this would make the moon appear dark, the moon actually turns a magnificent, ethereal red color. It is a reflection of a million sunrises. This is often referred to as a blood moon. Some Wiccans believe that during a total lunar eclipse, the moon represents every part of its cycle at once. This is because in a single night you can watch the Earth's shadow turn the moon through every phase, a complete waxing and waning. This effect is useful for multi-part spells that might otherwise have to be spread out throughout a month.
About every two or three years there comes a month where the moon will be full twice. This second full moon is known as a blue moon. This is the origin of the phrase "once in a blue moon." That saying has significance to Wiccans. A blue moon is thought to be twice as powerful as a full moon, and therefore magick can be performed that could only happen once in a blue moon.
