A history of goddesses from different cultures and their association with the moon can be found in the book as well and this can be very helpful when deciding which one to ask for guidance from during your rituals. This sounds odd coming from a digital fiend like me, but if you decide to get this book, get a hard copy. The Kindle edition is fine and all, but the graphics are much more stunning in the print copy. In this phase we set new goals, new beginnings, starting new spiritual, magical, and alchemical journeys and undertakings. New endeavors, challenges, or relationships. Narrowing your focuses to prioritize your most important goals. Seeing the possibilities of your manifestations and magic in a physical, psychological, and spiritual sense. Affirming your self-determined choices and decisions, overcoming obstacles and unhelpful habits. Mastering your practice and knowledge, embracing both your light and dark sides to bring you power and deeper understandings. Read more on the New Moon here. Waxing Crescent Moon: Because this is a very introspective and spiritually charged moon phase, you will want to work on strengthening your Witch Powers.If you are a Beginner Witch, go ahead and cast your first easy spell during this time: The names of the chapters seemed interesting, but it turned out some of those chapters were just a couple of paragraphs long. I think the concept of applying biodynamics to everyday life is an interesting one, but most of this material is extremely superficial. Some of the things described here are worthy practices (like gratefulness), but, strictly speaking (or even not that strictly), have no connection to the Moon. For instance, the author says that she shakes her hands after meeting an energy vampire as if to shake off their negative energy; this is concluded by: "call it a Moon shake"; why?

Without spoiling too much, here’s some of the great information that is included within the collection: I think you can tell that I am mostly very frustrated by this book. Fortune’s hostility towards other woman is blatantly apparent and nonsensical. Her bizarre hypocrisy over money and material wealth rubs me extremely the wrong way. The grossness of the treatment of animals whether tortured in vivisection or butchered for furs is made worse because it is all so dismissive, Fortune clearly didn’t have a second thought about it. Oh, and her constant diatribes on how she is so special and powerful and chosen…I just can’t put up with it.i've been out of the loop with magic(k) books for years, so it'll be a lot of trial and error for me! things that focus on herbs, oils, and just scented things and allergens in general just won't be useful to me. but i'd like to learn more about crystals, tarot, etc. things that don't require an open flame, going out in nature regularly, opening windows to let things out/in (bc it's just pollen to me lol), scented things, anything touching my skin... yeah anything but that is what i'll likely look into. An entire section of this book is dedicated to harnessing the moons magic for positive in your life. From the individual days of the week to the moon phases this book outlines the process for access this natural energy for medical, spiritual and mundane procedures. You can even document your progress by using a worksheet or create a vision board to help manifest your magical intentions.

Building your power and your knowledge, allowing knowledge to emerge from your unconscious mind and the supra-conscious. Testing yourself by pushing past your self-imposed limitations to evolve at a greater level. Transmuting and transforming your weaknesses, growing relationships with self and others. There’s a large section in this book on Moon Goddesses, but precious little about Gods with similar associations. It would’ve been nice to explore some of that. The section on the Goddesses is quite thorough and descriptive, if not exactly comprehensive.Because Lilith has no emotional needs of other people, she is able to remain aloof and independent and center herself in her own world. She has her own money and, as a priestess, has set herself apart in service to her goddess. All that she requires from people (besides a servant or two) is a particular type of male to complete the spiritual work she wants to carry out, which is meant to serve not only her goddess but, ultimately, humankind. Given such lofty and noble goals, Lilith makes no excuses for being completely ruthless in reaching them, as she sees the ends as being worth the means. This tends to leave her men feeling used (as they should!) but, in fairness, she does leave them with a renewed sense of purpose and an enlightenment that they did not possess when they met her. Also, in this book, the fellow who is drawn to her, outwardly a tremendously successful endocrinologist and neurologist, is quite miserable and lost in his life. As with Wilfred in the first book, Rupert ends up enriched by his relationship with Lilith, even though his hopes for love are dashed. Both Wilfred and Rupert, having proved themselves and declared their devotion to the goddess, are empowered to act as priests in serving her, either with Vivien/Lilith or another priestess. The energies of this Moon phase aren’t really going to increase your powers of Manifestation. Instead of casting a spell in the New Moon use this time to establish a general intention for the lunar cycle that begins today. Work on your personal space: clean your ritual area, start or decorate your Book of Shadows, look up spells online, or take a cleansing bath. Meditate on your wishes and desires, but also on your doubts and fears. Plan and think about everything you want to conceive and achieve during the next 28 days!

Fourth, the book felt superficial to me. This may just be for me, but it felt like some of the connections to the moon and magic were reaching an inauthentic.Throughout history, wise women and men were well aware of the power of the Moon and its changing phases. Spells and rituals timed with these changes are meant to take as much advantage of this energy as possible. Best Spells to Cast on Each Moon Aurora Kane brings us this delightfully illustrated and utterly tantalizing look at lunar energies. Be warned, though, there are a lot of information that the everyday man knows about the moon already, so if you have studied the moon before, this book may be a tad to basic for you. I guess you would call me a fledgling witch. I dabble in beginners witchcraft from time to time and have for a few years. I don’t pretend to be more experienced than I am because I simply am not. I do this for me and my peace of mind. This phase of the moon starts 3 days after the New Moon, when you can begin to see a small portion of the moon in the dark sky.The crescent moon is the symbol and representation of the Wiccan Goddess, embodying Manifestation and Abundance.
