Another important aspect not just in wiccian "magic" but in all of earth, is the moon phases. The moon has a magnetic pull on the ebb and flow of the earths tides. The moon also plays a big part in wiccan rituals.You, as a magical person can not afford to overlook the power of the these phases. You must time your rituals correctly with the moons phases, to do you must be able to recognise which phase the moon is in. To do this you can keep a diary of it's phases. Just start by loging down whan the moon is at it's fullest and keep track untill it's back at this stage again. Keep doing this untill you get a comfortable feel for being able to tell what phase then moon is or will be in. Because most spells have a special moon phase that helps with the workings of the spell having the nack for telling what the phases are will help. And when it come to knowing what phase to ues with what spell, most book will tell you in the directions for that particular spell.
One other thing that you should keep in mind when you are particapating in a ritual is, that you should have an emotional attachment to what you want the outcome of your speel to be.
Knowing everthing about the moons phases would be a very large task, but for the purpose of spell casting you only need to know a few basics:
New Moon:When the moon first appears in the sky as a thin sliver of light.Magic worked at this moon phase should be for beginings, new ventures and new opertunites.This phase is also associated with innocents and childhood.
Waxing Moon:When the moon goes each night from new tofull.Magic worked at this phase should be for increase or gain. Magic that in to bring somthing new into your life, such as a new job, or money that is to be owed to you.
Full Moon:When the moon is seen as a perfect dick of light.This is the most powerfull of the moon phases.It is good for all types of magic.If your are unsure of what phase to use for a particular spell the full moon would be a good choice.The day before and after are can be used for this phase, inabling you 3 days for this particular phase.
Waning Moon:When the moon shrinks in size each night.This phase is good for removing things from your like, so spell that should be used at this phase would be; lose weight, get out of debt, or stop smoking, it will remove these thing from your life in a very natural way.
Dark Moon:When no moon is visible in the sky.This is a phase of rest and their are only two posable casting to do at this part; Bindings(drawing somthing to you)and Banishing(Driving somthing away from you)
Blue Moon:When two fil moons appear within the same calender month.This phase is to be known as a goal setting moon at it's time is not be be waisted. In this part of the moon cycle you should set one goal setting technique and one goal setting ritual. These small goals should come by the next full monn, thus telling you that your magic is working and that your larger goals are on their way.
In conclution to this keep practicing, but if you are flustered in learning the phases of the moon then their are some sites that can help you by having calender that have the phase of the moon posted on each day. Here is a link that will take you right to a page on a site that will have that calender.
