Moon Magic For Beginners

Moon Magic

Many witchcraft practitioners use the shifting moon phases to guide their lives. Every phase marks a different moment for rest, growth, or renewal.

Moon magic is the art of listening to these cycles. From the Harvest moon’s golden light to the rare crimson shadow of a Blood moon, each moment is unique, waiting to be shaped by those with willing hearts and minds.

Moon Magic uses the Moon’s spiritual energy for rituals, spells, intentions, personal growth, self-reflection, and more! In modern times, the Moon is associated with feminine energy. However, many ancient cultures attributed masculine energy to the Moon.

I believe Moon Magic transcends gender and is a universal force available to everyone. Use your intuition and beliefs to form your own personal connection and experiences with the Moon cycles.

Full Moon Rituals

Full moon rituals remind witches to pause and witness what has grown. It’s a moment to take stock, release what feels heavy, and honor what has come to light.
