The Psychic & Magickal Phases of the Moon

Hello everyone, hope you all enjoyed the Full Moon on Tuesday night. It is always such an amazing experience, you never feel the same thing twice. Today we decided to keep with the moon theme and talk about the different phases of the moon.

Every month there is a subtle and enchanting rhythm to the mood of the moon as they roll from one to the other. If you work in harmony with each of the lunar tides you can very easily turn the volume up on your magick. This can be especially helpful if you work in accord with your intuition and personal psychic abilities.

Once you acknowledge your psychic talents, you will be able to embrace the ability to be receptive. Receptive power is not passive, it is magnetic, compelling, and captivating. This kind of energy draws intuition, magick and power straight to you. Receptive lunar power has also been known to boost your inspiration and facilitate the effectiveness of your macigk.

Your probably wondering how, it’s because the power of the lunar phases influences all life forms on the planet, including human behavior. Being able to work with and acknowledge the cycles of the moon will allow you to arrange your magick in the most opportune way. Certain types of magick will coordinate with either the waxing or waning of the moon, as will your psychic abilities be affected by the ever changing lunar tides and energies.

Below are four major lunar phases, accompanying psychic and magickal info for each one,  we have taken these directly from Ellen Dugan’s Natural WItchery Intuitive, Personal, & Practical Magick. Tomorrow we will post a spell for each quarter of the moon, so be sure to come back.

First Quarter

(From the new moon to the waxing half moon.) As the slim crescent moon slowly becomes fuller each night, now os the time to begin new projects, to be creative, to meet new people, and to be outgoing. Your personal psychic energy will be building, and you will notice you are more sympathetic and sensetive to other people’e positive emotions at this time. Awaken your intuition and pay attention, for as the moon grows brighter your dreams and thier meanings will become clearer. Here is the ideal time for magick and spells that draw things to you. Pull that affirmative change and bubbling energy straight into your life and reap the benefits. The waxing moon is a time to celebrate growth and potential. As the moon grows larger, your magickal goals will manifest. This moon phase corresponds with the Maiden aspect of the Goddess, such as Athena, Artermis/Diana and Bast.

Second Quarter

(From the waxing half moon to the full moon.) During this kunar phase, emotions and instinct are heightened. You will notice that precognitive dreams, intuition, and clairvoyance will peak as the full moon gets closer. During this lunar phase, spells will come to fruition swiftly, espically if they are uncomplicated and sincere. The closer you can cast your spells to the actual time of the full moon, the more power and oomph your spells and charms will have. Now, the day of the full moon is actually a time of maxium magickal power. This is an all-purpose lunar phase, so get in there and start casting! The full moon aligns with the Mother aspect of the Goddess, for example, Selene, Luna, Freya, Isis or Aphrodite.

Third Quarter

(From the second night after the full moon to the waning half moon.) When the moon begins to wane, its light slowly dissipates into the night sky. This is a powerful time of internal energy and an opportunity to quietly look within. Focus on dreams, insticts and gut hunches. If you are clairaudient, pay particular attention to those internal messages. When the moon wanes, work magick to remove negativity and obstacles that you are facing. During this lunar phase, work magick to carefully dissolve problems, push away troubles, and remove negativity in the best way possible for all those concerned. As the moon wanes, so too will the situation pr problem. The Third-quarter moon corresponds to the Crone aspect of the Goddess, such as Cerridwen, Hecate or Nepthys.

Fourth Quarter

(From the waning half moon to until the dark of the moon.) This is the dark time of the moon. You may find that your psychic talents take a little vacation during the dark phases of the moon, or on the other hand, the may come roaring to life with an all-out bombardment of your senses. Personally, I have found that the abilities of empathy and psychometry are more pronounced at this time. Why, you may wonder? Well, I have found that this type of psychic ability forces you to look within and to be still as the information comes to you — what better time than in the waning moon, when your powers are focused internally? Macicklly, now is the occasion to tackle serious issues, such as extreme protection magick, bindings, or banishings, and keeping away criminals, prowlers, or stalkers. casting your spells in the final days of the moon’s cycle (when the moon in not visible at all) will increase the force behind your banishing and protective magick. This phase of the moon is often linked to the darker aspects of the Goddess, when she is a spiritual warrior; again. Hecate is a good one to work with in this phase, but you can also call on Sekhmet, the Morrigan, or even Kali, if you are really feeling brave.
