Waxing Moon Blessing Invocation - Firestorm Weaver of PhantomFire Coven - 1996
We reach before us, into new beginnings and seek to bring Energy and Growth to flourish here...
As the Moon shows new-born in the sky we wake the power within us to nurture this beginning and call the waxing Moon's light to ever more illuminate the purpose and beauty for which we consecrate this (item)

Waning Moon

Overview: The Moon is called Waxing when it moves from Full Moon to New Moon. The psychic vibrations are still there, just lower and have the effect of pulling away on things. So, this is the best time for getting rid of anything you want nor need in your life.

Energies : Destructive magick - Remove low vibes in your home or work - Banish negative thoughts - Eliminate - Separate - Undo - Recede - Let go of the past and guilt - Start a weight program - Affirmative thinking - Cutting herbs and flowers - Release hostile or anger situations and emotions.

Waning Moon Blessing Invocation - Firestorm Weaver of PhantomFire Coven
As we gather here, we summon the power of the Waning Moon to carry away from this (item), any energy that will keep potential from being reached.
We ask that the disappearing Orb lend us the power to clear this (item) and purify it to best meet the need for which we now consecrate it.

Full Moon

Energies : Best for the strongest psychic energies and can be used in any magick spells.

Full Moon Blessing Invocation - Firestorm Weaver of PhantomFire Coven
We stand in this circle, linked in the fullness of the Universe and call the cool light of Night to bless our Venture. Full in its glory we tap the power of the Glorious Orb Drawing the Light of the Lamp of Night and reveling in the wholeness with which we bless this (project, thing, person)

Prayer to use during your Full Moon Ritual
By the Earth under my feet,
By the Air under my wings,
By the Fire in my hands,
By the Water that is in my blood,
I am your Child, Goddess.
Stardancer - April 3, 1996 - Full Moon Ritual

New Moon, No Moon or Black Moon

This is time for rest and attainment of desires. It is the best time to prepare for the new wishes and to form your requests very seriously. Take a break and give yourself a rest.
