A moon phase spell is a type of spell that harnesses the energy and power of the moon in its different phases to manifest specific intentions or desires. The moon goes through different phases, each with its own unique energy and symbolism. These phases include the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The new moon phase is a time for new beginnings, setting intentions, and planting seeds for the future. It is an opportunity to start fresh and manifest new goals or desires. The waxing crescent phase follows the new moon and is a time for growth and expansion.
The Waxing Crescent Moon rises after sunrise and sets after sunset. It is only seen in the night sky for a short time after the sun goes down. Every night the Moon rises in the East a little later and the thickness of the Waxing Crescent gets fatter until the shape of the Moon is half a circle. This is the First Quarter, also called by some people the Waxing Half Moon. It is dark on the left and bright on the right. You can continue to do waxing, drawing, increasing, or growth spells. The Waxing First Quarter Moon rises about at noon and sets about at midnight.
After about 3 days of appearing to be more or less full, the moon slowly begins to visibly go dark on the right side, while the left side stays the same disk-shape as it had when it was Full. About 3-4 days after the true Dark of the Moon you will see a tiny sliver of a Moon like a fingernail paring appear in the sky at sunset near where the Sun has gone down.
The waxing crescent phase follows the new moon and is a time for growth and expansion. It is a time to focus on building momentum, taking action, and making progress towards your goals. The first quarter phase is a time of overcoming challenges and obstacles.
Moon Phase Magick
I frequently receive messages via Email and our Facebook page asking about the best time to cast certain spells based on the Moon phase so I decided to put together a simple blog to break down the most requested spells and the moon phases most likely to manifest your desires.
The moon phase is by no means the be all and end all of spell work. Spells can work at any time but have more potency if we take the moon into consideration. It is after all, one of the greatest sources of magical and divine energy.
If you prefer to cast your spells based on Moon phases then you might also take into consideration the day on which you cast your spell. This can add extra potency to your magickal workings. I have also included a list of correspondences for each day at the bottom of the blog.
Waxing Moon:
The Waxing Moon represents the Maiden aspect of the Goddess. This is the time when the moon is growing larger in size and power. This is the best time to perform spells intended to attract or increase something in your life.
Perform spells to do with
Such As:
- Attracting Love
- Increasing Wealth
- Prosperity
- Improving Health
- Increasing Confidence
- Amplifying Psychic Ability
Full Moon:
The full moon represents the Mother aspect of the Goddess. This is a time of optimum power and high energy. I consider this to be the 'cure all' phase as nomatter the intention of the spell, it will be infinitely more powerful if cast during a full moon.
Aside from being a wonderful time to cast spells for all purposes, the full moon offers powerful energy with which to charge your crystals, charm bags and oils. Simply place the items you wish to charge on a windowsill or outside, to bathe in the moons light. Once charged, focus your intention for your crystal or charm to keep them working to the best of their ability. This should be done each month for best results.
Waning Moon:
The Waning Moon represents the Crone aspect of the Goddess. This is the time when the moon appears to be decreasing in size. Essentially this is the best time to cast any spell to do with ending or release but I have listed a few examples of these below
Perform Spells To Do with:
- Banishing a negative aspect from your life
- Cleansing Negative energy
- Decreasing stress and Chaos
- Bringing things to an end
- Releasing that which doesn't serve to better your self or life
Such As:
- Binding a harmful person or energy from affecting you
- Bringing a painful or toxic relationship to a close
- Decreasing stresses in your life caused by work, home-life or relationships
New/Dark Moon:
This is the time when there appears to be no moon at all in the sky. This is the best time to cast spells that center around destructive magick and is a powerful time for divination and contact with the spirit world. to banish powerful negative aspects in your life such as ill health, addicitions (to drugs, alcohol etc), a toxic person or a curse that has been placed upon you.
Destructive magick can and is used (although not by myself) to bring harm to another. There are times in life whereby this can be tempting but I encourage all witches to remember that people who have done harm to you, or those close to you, will not fair well for it in the end. It may seem like a good idea to speed up karma yourself but this is the job of the universe.
The negative energy that people create will manifest and return threefold so just sit back and wait for justice to be served in its own good time. Destructive spells can very easily backfire and the consequences to can be hard to swallow. This is just my personal opinion and experience but there will be many who don't believe in magickal repercussions. For this reason I have included examples of destructive magick in the spell suggestions below.
Perform spells to do with:
- Banishment of powerful negative aspects in your life
- Contacting those who have passed over
- Destructive Magick intended to destroy something (This doesn't have to be harmful magick, it can be used to destroy something
Such As:
- Banishment of ill health or a disease affecting you
- Use of Oiuja, Tarot, Dowsing and Spirit Boards
- Placing a curse
- Removal of a curse that has been placed on you
- Banishment of negative entities
For Further Potency:
You can further increase the power of your spell work by taking into consideration the day of casting. Below is a list of colour and spell correspondences for each day. For a quick example; if your intention was to cast a spell for increasing wealth then it would be best to cast your spell on a Thurday, during a waxing moon.
Although there are several days which correspond with increasing wealth, I would personally choose to cast a money spell on a Thursday due to one of its colour correspondences being green. The colour green corresponds with attracting and increasing money. You could symbolise this by using a green spell candle and crystals such as aventurine. As well as being green in colour, aventurine holds powerful correspondences for attracting luck and is one of the best crystals to use in spells and charms to increase money and wealth. I'm straying a little from the topic of this blog post so I will write seperate blogs for crystal and colour correspondences in the near future
Daily Correspondences:

If you plan to work with correspondences then it's a good idea to record those that you will find useful in your book of shadows for future reference. I hope that you've found the above information helpful and will utilise it (although maybe not the destructive magick!) in your spell work.

It is a time to push through barriers and persevere towards your goals. The waxing gibbous phase represents abundance and manifestation. It is a time to focus on gratitude and attracting abundance into your life. The full moon phase is the most potent and powerful phase of the lunar cycle. It is a time for manifestation, releasing what no longer serves you, and bringing things to completion. The waning gibbous phase is a time for reflection, letting go, and releasing attachments. It is a time to cleanse and purify your energy. The third quarter phase represents surrender and acceptance. It is a time to let go of control and trust in the divine timing of the universe. The waning crescent phase is a time for rest, renewal, and reflection. It is a time to recharge and prepare for the next cycle. To perform a moon phase spell, one must first determine the specific intention they wish to manifest. They must then align their spell with the corresponding moon phase that best supports their intention. This can be done through various rituals, such as meditation, visualization, candle magic, or crystal work. By harnessing the energy of the moon and its different phases, individuals can tap into a powerful source of manifestation and transformation. The moon phase spell allows them to work in harmony with the natural cycles of the universe, enhancing their ability to manifest their desires and create positive change in their lives..
Reviews for "Balancing Energies: Harmonizing with the Moon's Phases in Magic"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to try the Moon phase spell, as I had heard so many positive things about it. But unfortunately, it just didn't work for me. I followed all the instructions exactly, but I didn't notice any changes or improvements in my life. It was quite disappointing, as I had high hopes, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
2. John - 1 star - I have to say I was extremely disappointed with the Moon phase spell. Not only did it not bring me any positive results, but it actually seemed to make things worse. I experienced a series of unfortunate events after performing the spell, and I couldn't help but connect them to the ritual. I regret trying it and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Emma - 3 stars - The Moon phase spell didn't work as well as I had hoped. While I did notice some small improvements in certain areas of my life, overall, the changes were not significant enough to justify the effort and time I put into the spell. I think it might work for some people, but it just wasn't effective for me personally. However, I appreciate the concept behind it and the potential it holds for others.
4. Ryan - 2 stars - I gave the Moon phase spell a try, but I didn't see any noticeable differences or positive outcomes. It could have been a case of high expectations, but either way, I was left disappointed. I followed the instructions diligently, but it simply didn't work for me. Perhaps it can be more effective for others, but for me, it was a letdown.
