Full Moon

Friends on my facebook should have noticed me shouting about "Full Moon" each month. Other than gushing about her beauty, Full Moon is a very important time, especially for performing Magic.

The Moon completes a full orbit around the Earth every 28 days.

The phases of the Moon are:

New Moon
Signifying a new beginning, the position of the moon means no light is reflected off the Sun, so it is not visible at all.

Waxing Moon
The Moon gets bigger in the sky, a narrow crescent growing from right to left)

Full Moon
The Full Moon appears 14 to 15 days after the New Moon and appears as a glorious glowing white circle in the night sky. This phase reflects the maximum amount of light from the Sun.

Waning Moon
The Full Moon is decreasing in size, moving back towards the New Moon, gradually changing to a decreasing crescent from right to left)
The moon is extremely powerful, and we've all heard about how it affects the weather, tides, influences earthquakes.

It is also the prime time for rituals and magic. Happening 14 to 17.5 days after the new moon, it's the perfect time for healing rituals, protection spells, planning, releasing and finishing off projects.

Full Moon energy is also used for banishing unwanted influences in your life; protection magick; and divination.

It is said that the best Full Moon magick can be conjured for 7 days: the 3 days prior to the Full Moon, the night of the Full Moon itself, and three days after the Full Moon. Sometimes the results of Full Moon magick can take aproximately one moon cycle to take hold and come to completion.

Time for more Magic tonight. :)
