Lunar Magick 101 – Work with the Four Moon Phases

The moon doesn’t just shine—it pulls.
And when you align with its tide, your magick moves on its own.

Why the Moon Matters

The moon is not one energy.
It’s a cycle—a rhythm of rising and falling currents.

Each phase draws out a different power.
Each one supports a different spell.

When you work with the moon, your efforts align with a deeper pulse.
Things don’t just happen—they unfold.

The Four Phases of Lunar Magick

Each moon phase is a doorway.
Enter through the right one, and the work flows easier.

Waxing Moon

New → Full
Energy: Build, expand, grow
Spirit: Artemis — pursuit and new beginnings

Use this phase to:

• Start projects
• Call in opportunities
• Gather courage
• Say yes to something unknown

I grow. I chase. I bring the new into form.

Full Moon

At peak brightness
Energy: Reveal, celebrate, embody
Spirit: Selene — illumination and truth

Use this phase to:

• Manifest boldly
• Be seen or take public action
• Invoke clarity or self-love
• Anchor your intentions

Let what is true rise to the surface. Let it be seen.

Waning Moon

After Full → Before Dark
Energy: Release, simplify, close
Spirit: Hecate — shadow, transition, threshold

Use this phase to:

• Let go of habits or patterns
• Banish, unbind, or undo
• Grieve and heal
• Clear energetic clutter

What’s done can rest. I shed what no longer fits.

Dark Moon

Final 1–2 days before New
Energy: Stillness, surrender, silence
Spirit: The Void — dissolution and reset

Use this phase to:

• Stop. Rest.
• Dream or journal
• Reset yourself spiritually
• Close chapters entirely

I stop. I unname. I let it all dissolve.

Avoid active casting or manifestation here.
Let this be your sacred pause.

Living by the Moon

• Don’t do every spell—choose the ones that match the tide
• Notice how your emotions track with the lunar cycle
• Let lunar timing shape your life, not just your magick
• In the dark phase, let silence teach you

You are not separate from this rhythm.
You are made of it.

Final Words

You’re not casting into chaos.
You’re casting into timing.

Magick becomes movement when you follow the moon.
Not effort. Not push. Just rhythm.

So mote it be.
