Moon Phase Rituals
8 spells · Lunar Magic
The moon's phases set the rhythm of a witch's month: begin at the new moon, build as it waxes, celebrate and release at the full moon, and let go as it wanes.
There is one short ritual for each of the eight phases. The full steps are in the Wicca app, which also shows the exact phase for your location.
See what each phase is for and when the next one falls on the moon phases page.
