Moon Phases Spiritual Meaning

There are four moon phases: waxing, full, waning, and the new moon. Each phase of the moon is good for different types of spells, planting, and life changes.

Not that you cannot grow your crop nor do a certain spell when not in the same moon phase as listed but rather this is the best time to do them. The moon phase assists in the activities of planting and ritual because the phase of the moon influences the tide, water, and gravitational pull of the Earth. These energies create a strong pull to certain aspects of humanity which are reflected in spell work and the psychic attunement of individuals. 

Waxing Moon Phase

Waxing Crescent Moon, the kind that looks like a Man in a Moon drawing or a small sliver of the moon. When the Moon is waxing the dark side is to your left, and the bright white of the moon is to your right side. IF you want your hair to grow thick and fast cut your hair when the moon is waxing. People plant crops that are grown for their leaves, flowers, or seeds during the waxing moon for the best growth and productivity. 

Spells that are best in the waxing phase are:

• Love spells to draw someone to you.
• Money spells to attract wealth.
• Crown of Success spells to advance a career and bring the most recognition on the job or bring customers to your business.
• Honey Jar spells to sweeten someone to you.
• Invocation of goddess. 
• Rituals concerning women’s fertility. 
• Blessing, purification, and cleansing rituals that require additional energy. 
• Full Moon Phase

A full moon is about fourteen days after the waxing moon. When the moon is full you will see no black and full light of the moon, and it is reserved for light works and dedications to benevolent lunar deities. It is used for celebrations and prayers for peace. When the moon is full this is the best time to charge magical items, omens rites, and invocations.
