Witching with the Moon: Harnessing Lunar Cycles in your Practice

Hosts: Kristal and Kate

Summary:

In this episode we talk about the moon and her cycles, how you can align yourself and your magick to the moon cycle. Kristal & Kate share some of their personal moon magick thoughts and rituals.

Show Notes:

Intro & Invocation (0:00-2:35)

Kristal and Kate describe the science of the lunar cycle and its relationship to the sun. They introduce the typical points of the cycle and highlight the dark moon as separate from the new moon and the end and beginning of the lunar cycle. The full moon, then, is the peak of the lunar cycle (2:36-12:08)

Kate shares her moon devotionals, moving through the lunar cycle and the energies associated with each phase. Kristal elaborates on why we move in that cycle and how we align ourselves with those energies. (12:09-18:44)

Next they chat about what they each do during the various phases in order to align their intentions with the moon’s energies. The new moon and waxing toward the full moon is good for setting intentions and taking action. The post full moon waning is good for gentle release and the final quarter waning is good for stronger banishing. (18:45-38:26)

Kristal wraps up the episode with a discussion of each full moon’s designation (the wolf moon, etc.) and what those specific themes are associated with. (38:27-43:28)

Outro (43:46)

Resources mentioned during the episode:

New Moon - Set Intentions
In the shadow of the new moon, I plant my seeds
Each nascent intention a dreaming desire
Drawing power through reaching roots

First Quarter - Take Action
By the light of the waxing moon, I begin anew
The quest unfolding before me
A brave step on fresh paths

Full Moon - Celebrate
In the light of the full moon, I celebrate myself
Achievements in this lunar cycle and across lifetimes
The echoes of which repeat through the universe

Last Quarter - Release
By the light of the waning moon, I shed the unneeded
So I may rest
And make room for peace, love and plenty

Capture Lunar Energy with A Knot Spell
You will need a white cord and 2 pieces of red string
During a full moon, gather your supplies.
Ground and center, entering a meditative state.
