Chapter 3 – Lunar Phases
The Moon is essential for doing any kind of magic. All Moon Phases must be taken into account since much of the success of the ritual will depend on the moment in which the phase of the Moon is. It is very important to do the ritual in the Moon phase indicated because its effectiveness partly depends on it.
Waxing Moon: during this lunar phase you should do rituals to unite couples, to strengthen loving bonds, to awaken the interest on the person you love, to recover lost objects, to increase economic income, to recover health, or to get something done quickly. It is a very beneficial phase for any aspect you want to work on.
Full Moon: unless you have a great knowledge of magic you should not do any kind of rituals during this lunar phase. It can help to find a new love, to increase personal magnetism, charisma and influence on others; it is also appropriate to do a work for you. In addition, it is a good phase to prepare talismans both for you and for others. However, you must wait until the phase changes to give these talismans to the people you want.
Waning Moon: this is an important phase for everything that implies removing, whether they are persons, feelings, negative energies or bad vibrations from your home or your environment. It is a good phase to remove a lover that is not good for you or to change a person’s attitude towards you.
New Moon: this moon is very good so that the effects of the rituals last for a long time. In general, the ritual will be effective if you focus intensely.
Eclipses: No ritual should be performed when there is a solar or a lunar eclipse, either total or partial. It is a very conflicting moment since the energies are confused and can interfere with each other, rebounding and coming back to you. Large asteroids or meteorites passing close to the Earth can also alter the results of rituals.
