The moon is very powerful. It gives off an incredible amount of magickal energy, and the amount is determined with each phase of the moon. There are four phases, the new moon, the waxing moon, the full moon, and the waning moon. Now certain spells are better to do during a specific phase of the moon. Now each phase lasts for seven days. Now you are probably thinking, no, the full moon is only full for one day. You are correct, but the full moon "phase" just like all the other phases lasts for seven days, three before, three after, and one day when that phase is the most powerful. For the full moon, that one day would be when the moon was truly full and it's effects would be more powerful than the day after or the day before. Ifr you are incredibly busy and aren't able to do your spell during the exact day, then you have other days to do it.
New Moon: this phase is when the moon cannot be seen in the sky. This phase is used to get rid of something, maybe a bad habit, or a curse, etc.
Waxing Moon: this phase is when the moon is becoming more visible by each day and leading up to the full moon. This phase is used best to gain something, maybe luck, power, love, etc.
Full Moon: This phase is when the moon is fullest. This is when the most amount of magickal influence is radiating off of the moon. You should have better luck with any spell during this phase.
Waning moon: this phase is when the moon is decreasing in visibility and leading to the new moon. This phase is to make things go away, similar to the new moon.
The Wiccan Rede
Triquetra
This symbol, the triquetra represents the three fold law. It also represents the three stages of a women's life, maiden, mother, and crone. It is a common symbol in Wicca
Altar
This is a pretty standard pagan altar. Usually pagan altars or altars of practicing witches have a few candles, a pentacle, an athame and wand, inense and bowls upon it. Sometimes there are also crystals and other protection symbold, along with herbs and oils, sometimes even crystal balls or tarot decks.
Pentacle
Crystals
Crystals, though most people think they are just pretty rocks used in jewelry, actually contain an energy of their own which can be used for many purposes. They also have properties that many people manipulate to use as health benefits. Crystals are quite powerful and mroe remarkable than most people give them credit for.
Fortune Teller
Yes, there are actually people who sit in dusty old shops, waiting to read people's fortunes. However there are many methods to doing this. Read my post on divination to learn more.
About Me
- Dusk
- My name is Dusk The Strange, and some of my interests include art, writing, poetry, and many other artsy things. I have a love for many gothic things, especially gothic Victorian things. I have a love for the usual zombies, murderers, and mental patients, and I also love things such as anime and MMO's. I love makeup and shopping and other girly things. I also love tea and coffee. I do research of things like astronomy and mythology and random interests in my free time too. If you haven't noticed yet, my interests are all over the place.
Candles play a huge part in witchcraft. Certain colors mean specific things, like a red candle is for romance, a white candle is for protection, and so on. If a spell doesn't call for any candles, you can add candles that correspond to the spell for better success!
Crystal Therapy
This is an image of a woman who is trying out crystal therapy, a true form of therapy to ease one's body and help restore the natural chakras. Many people go to trained professionals who know how each crystal works in alleviating tension and how it affects the body. Witchcraft is mainly dealing with what science cannot identify as legit and making it work.
the Moon in Magick
Now the moon has been a central aspect of magick and pagan traditions for centuries. It has its own power and the cycles of it influence many people's practices. Wicca, witchcraft, magick, paganism, they all revolve around the moon to a certain degree.
Number of visits
Herbs also play a large role in witchcraft. They can be used in all sorts of ways from cooking, potions, additions to spells, etc. As important as they are, that doesn't mean that they aren't dangerous! If you don't know what an herb is, then find out before you intake it in any way, shape, or form! If you mess with the wrong plant, you could die!
