Moon Rites

The Moon Goddess is an important deity in many cultures around the world where they form a central role in mythology.  For the ancient people, before the introduction of the Julian, or Gregorian calendar, the cycles of the moon were used to define different parts of the year.  Within the Native American tribes, not all tribes used the same names, and also not every full moon was recognised as bringing forth a new part of the year within each tribe.

The moon is associated with the divine feminine as in many tribal societies the feminine cycles were linked to the phases of the moon.

​

Grandmother Moon circles the earth over the coarse of 28 days, making a total of 13 months in the earthly calendar year, not 12 months as we currently accredit due to the Julian calendar system used in North America.

 

 

New Moon

The New Moon means the Mother Goddess is in her infant stage, which is why it marks the time for new beginnings, fresh starts, growth, optimism, starting over, hope and faith.

Do your magick in the first two or three days the new crescent is visible. This is a good time for magick concerning stuff like a new diet, a new lifestyle, shifting to a new course of study, starting at a new job, starting over in a new place, or the start of a new relationship.

 

 

Waxing Moon

The Waxing Moon means the Mother Goddess is in her maiden stage, making it the perfect time for building credit, accomplishments, creativity, strength, growth and learning, and positive transformation.

As the Moon gets brighter, the energies of growth get stronger. The maiden is full of energy and is anxious to dance around the world!

The day or two just before the calendar day of the Full Moon are the best times for doing magick for bringing something to you like a new look, a new job, a new relationship, a new accomplishment, a new talent or skill, or advanced knowledge.

 

Full Moon

The Full Moon is the time of abundance, harvest, manifesting desires, sexuality, achievement, and protection. The Goddess is in her Mother stage and she is at her peak, and the moon’s energy is also at its peak.

This is the best time for consecrating tools, charging jewelry, and wishes like winning a court case, winning a contest, landing a job, getting married, good health, financial prosperity, and healing. It is also the time for spells about spirituality, psychic development, dreams and divination.

 

Waning Moon

The Waning Moon means the Mother Goddess is in her Crone stage, making it the perfect time for letting go, clearing away, cleansing, releasing, shedding old patterns, and undoing bindings. This is a time of personal reflection.

The days just before the Dark of the Moon are best for doing magick for removal of anything that you don’t want from your life like bad habits, stress, negative energies, unsatisfying relationships, unfulfilling jobs, an unhealthy diet, or an anxious and negative mind.

The moon’s energy is getting weaker, as is the strength of the Goddess. But what comes with it is great wisdom. And you can learn from her and gain wisdom at this time.
