Everything is affected by the moon; from our body functions, plant growth, childbirth, and the ebb and flow of the tides just to name a few. The moon plays a vital role with our Earth as well as with our selves. It also affects our spirits. As a part of nature ourselves, we have the ability to utilize the moon's energy to help our spirits better mold and shape our lives as a whole. When the moon's energy is used correctly, it can be a very powerful tool in aiding our own energies to discard, create, or build those things that make our lives more full, peaceful and complete. Knowing the different moon phases, when they change and how best they can be used is key in successful spell casting or any other task that requires the energies of our spirits to be employed to perform a certain task. In regard to spiritual work, there are basically two lunar phases, the waxing moon, ideally used for positive magic and endeavourers, and the waning moon, ideally for negative magic and riddance/banishing endeavourers. Between these two, there is the dark moon period, which is generally considered the best time for generating energy and magic for banishing, empting and rest.  Then there is the full moon, which is the best time to generate energy and magic for positive works.  Not everyone utilizes the moon and its energies the same way or for the same things.  The brief descriptions that follow are designed to attempt to cover, on a basic level, how most pagan, Wiccan, and other spiritualist persons utilize the moon.

New Moon - The new moon is symbolized by new beginnings and creation
When the moon is new, it is in complete alignment with the sun and Earth. It is the beginning of the lunar cycle. The new moon is not visible in the night sky and typically spans from the new moon until 3 days after.  Some consider the new moon's cycle to extend up to 7 days after the new moon unit the beginning of the first quarter.  The time period between day 3 and day 7 is the

Crescent Moon
New Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half to 7 days after.  Many consider the new moon and the dark moon as the same, here, however, they are being represented separately for those who view and utilize them individually. The new moon is for starting new ventures, projects, personal growth, healing and new beginnings as well as love and romance, health or job seeking. It's also a good time to cleanse and consecrate new tools and objects you wish to use in your work.

Crescent Moon Magic - 3 1/2 days after the new moon through the 7th. Day
Commonly use for: animals, business, change, emotions, and matriarchal strength

Waxing Moon - The waxing moon is symbolized by growth and building
The waxing moon (first quarter) is the period of time from seven to fourteen days after the new moon.  Some divide this time between the Gibbous moon, which is the time from 10 to 13 days after the new moon.
The waxing moon is typically used for attraction magic, inner love spells, protection for couples and healing energy for couples.
The waxing moon is also commonly used for constructive magic, such as love, wealth, success, courage, friendship, luck or health.

Gibbous Moon Magic - 10 to 13 days after the new moon
Commonly used for: patience, endurance, temperance

Full Moon - The full moon is symbolized by strength, power and vitality
The full moon is the point when the moon is fully visible in the sky and occurs
14 days after the new moon. This is often when the moon presents it's most powerful energy. Spell casting or any other spiritual work done during a full moon should be done with care and be well thought out as the results and effects at this time in the moon's cycle are at their strongest.


There are three days that the energy from a full moon can be gathered, one day prior to and one day after the full moon.  The moon is however, only truly full for one night out of it's lunar cycle, thus, any tasks that require the intense energy and power of a full moon should be planned and prepared for in advance so they can be fit into your schedule.


The full moon is used by some for banishing unwanted influences in your life, creating protection magic and performing divination, setting up plans and releasing old patterns or issues. This is also considered prime time for rituals for prophecy, protection, and divination. Any working that needs extra power, such as artistic endeavors; beauty, health, and fitness; change and decisions; children; competition; dreams; families; health and healing; knowledge; legal undertakings; love and romance; money; motivation; protection; psychism; self-improvement, can be done now.

Disseminating Moon Magic - 3 to 7 days after the full moon
Commonly used for: addictions, decisions, divorce, emotions, stress, and protection

Waning Moon - The waning moon symbolizes lessening, banishment and neutrality.
The waning moon is from three-and-a-half to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. Some divide this time with the Disseminating moon, which are three to seven days after the full moon.
The waning moon is the time to begin, or continue ridding the self of those things unwanted that were addressed at the full moon. This phase is generally used for banishing and rejecting those things that influence us in a negative way. Negative emotions, diseases, ailments, and bad habits can all be let go and special spells for clearing can be performed at this time.

Dark Moon - The dark moon is symbolized by meditation, reflection and self-observation.
The Dark moon begins 11 to 14 days after the full moon and is seldom seen in the night sky, similar to the new moon.  Some consider the dark and new moon to be the same.  Here, dark moon is represented and spoken of separately for those who consider and utilize them individually for specific works.


Typically no magic is done during this time.  This is a time for removal, to rest and replenish ones' self.
This is the time to give yourself a break, to turn to inward, pamper and replenish your own energies. Vision quests and deep meditations are generally done at this time to focus on personal matters, questions and answers.
For those who do spiritual work during the dark moon this is the time for finalizing the riddance of bad habits, binding spells, for exploring our darkest recesses and understanding our angers and passions. Also bringing justice to bear addictions, change, divorce, enemies, obstacles, quarrels, removal, separation, stopping stalkers and theft

Lunar Eclipse - Eclipses represent the perfect union of sun and moon. Just about any type of magic is acceptabe during this time.. There are 2 types of lunar eclipse:
* Partial eclipse


* Penumbral eclipse of the moon


A Lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. This type of eclipse does not occur every year. However, when it does, it's a beautiful and magical night. When it does occur it lasts for only a few hours, so you need to plan your work well in advance. This one night is perfect for nearly all purposes. Plan your spells to coordinate with the passing shadow. When the moon is in full eclipse, treat those few moments as if the moon was in its Dark phase. Some forego magic work all together.


The moon can also be utilized during its astrological phases.  When the moon is in the various elemental and astrological phases, that is the time to focus on specific types of spells or other work that you need to do.
