& Moon Magick 
Each phase of the moon lasts about 3.5 days. As a scientific fact, every time the moon enters a new phase there's a shift in the electro-magnetic field of the Earth. The Moon and each of its phases are the most essential parts of modern Wiccan magick, so it is extremely important that all of your spells and rituals are performed during the proper lunar phase. Performing a magickal spell during the wrong phase could give you opposite result or no result at all. Some Witches prefer to wrok simply when they feel the time is right. Spells can be adjusted to fit the time. For example, if you're obsessed with the need to do a money spell on the waning moon, focus on banishing poverty. Since it is the symbolism which is important, I must stress that your own intuition should be trusted over anything written for the timing of any ritual or spell. Learning the characteristics and workings of each phase will help you to take the right action in regard to your personal and business relationships. The power and awareness behind each phase can help you stay emotionally, physically and spiritually balanced. The Waxing of the Moon means it is getting larger in the sky, moving from the New Moon toward the Full Moon. This is a time for spells that attract, that bring positive change; Tis period is the proper time to perform spells that increase love, good luck, growth of any kind, sexual desire and wealth. Now is the time to make things happen, to draw desired objects and actions to you. It is a time for new beginnings, new ideas and concepts, and to invoke. This time of the Moon represents the Goddess in her Maiden aspect. The period of the Waxing moon lasts about 14 days from New Moon to Full Moon. The Full Moon is when the moon has reached its zenith, it is a perfect silvery sphere in the sky. This is a time for spells that transform, increase psychic ability, for fertility spells and invocations to the Moon Goddesses. It is a time of strength, love and power. Full moon energy is used for banishing unwanted influences in your life, protection magick and divination. Planning, releasing and working backwards in time are done on the Full Moon as well. All positive magick done now is powerful. Full Moons increase the powers of extrasensory perception, spells that increase psychic abilities, and prophetic dreams. This is an excellent time for meditation, mirror magick, and psychic workings... Sometimes the results of a Full Moon magick take approximately one moon cycle to take hold and come to completion. This phase of the moon represents the Goddess in her Mother aspect, the second of the Triple Goddess. The period of the Full Moon lasts from about 3 days before to 3 days after the actual full moon. The Waning of the Moon is when it is decreasing in size, moving from the Full Moon toward the New Moon. This is a time for spells that banish, release, and / or reverse. Banish now what you don't want in order to make room for what will come in the waxing phase. It's a time to break bad habits or addictions, to end bad relationships reverse love spells and aphrodisiacs, undo negative influences and dexreae fevers and pain. It's a time of deep intuition and a time for divination. This time of the Moon represents the Goddess in her final stage, the Crone Aspect. The period of the Waning moon also lasts about 14 days.

However, as the moon travels across the night sky, she passes through the astrological signs, just like the sun, only faster. As she passes through these signs, they each influence her in a different way, and in turn may affect any spells or rituals you may be doing.

The Blue MoonThere is usually only one Blue Moon in a year's time. Sometimes there isn't any, and sometimes (rarely) there are two. It is the second full moon that occurs in one month. It is the Snake moon. The Blue Moon has power, like the snake, becaue eit doubles the intensity of that part of the year in which it falls. It heralds a time of great change. It is also a Goal Moon. It is here where you set specific long-term goals for yourself, and review accomplishments and failures since the last Blue Moon. This is a very special time. This is an excellent time for giving your magick an extra boost. Water reeds are the plant totem although sweetgrass can also be used to represent the Blue Moon.
