New Moon / Dark Moon
This is usually when you are at your most powerful
energy levels for spell casting. The most powerful time for spells is three days
after the appearance of the new moon. The new moon (or dark moon) is the best
opportunity to remove unwanted things from our lives. This is also a good time
to reverse spells others have cast, ideal for warding off or banishing spells
and focusing on removal of negative energies.
Black Moon
When two new moons appear during a single month (which
happens occasionally), the second of the two is known as a "black moon" and is
normally the stronger. This is the best time to cast particularly difficult or
very hard working spells, such as those that deal with addiction. Waxing Moon
The waxing moon is perfect for magic spells regarding success, protection,
abundance, friendships, luck, new beginnings, and love. In general, the waxing
moon is wonderful for good and constructive white magic spells.
First Quarter
The first quarter is the middle point between the new
moon and the full moon. During this time most you should focus and meditate on
attracting new positive things towards you. The things you ask for in your
spells will grow as the moon waxes further.
Waxing Gibbous
During a waxing gibbous moon is the best time to focus
on fruition and completion of your magic spells, and the time to focus and
meditate on all the spellwork you did during the waxing phase. By concentrating
more on the spells you've already cast, you enhance their power. This is also
great time to do magical work on prophecy, protection or divination.
Full Moon
When the moon is full, then is the time to meditate on
the divine and awesome power of the universe and nature, and pray that it will
strengthen and empower us as witches and wizards. The full moon offers the
strongest power for all invocations and spells. Now is the time to cast your
biggest and most powerful magic spells.
Blue Moon When a month has two full moons (similar to
two new moons), the second event is normally the stronger of the two. Now is the
time to perform any spells and rituals that need a bit of extra kick. This is
also the time to meditate on your goals in life and to assess your successes and
failures.
Waning Gibbous
This is the perfect time to banish the things you no
longer want in your life. At the same time, you can meditate on cleansing and
removing all and any negativity around yourself.
Last Quarter
This is the time for ending your magic spells and
wrapping up your spell casting, much like the moon reaching the end of its
natural cycle. Focus on balancing your internal magical energies, always
replacing negative thoughts with positive ones.
Waning Moon
The time of the waning to the new moon is the best time
to be rid of unwanted circumstances or events in your life. Cast banishing
spells against your enemies, any addictions or sickness, negativity, and all
evil. Fully cleanse yourself of the things you no longer need or desire.
