◐ Moon Cycles In Relation to Magickal Phenomena.

Praise, Honour, Dominion, and Power, Be To You, Most High God. Renewed Mind Is A Sound Mind.  

The moon has a great effect on many things down here on planet Earth. The lunar cycles have subtle effects on the psyche and also affect all magickal work being done. Statistics show that people tend to exhibit more erratic behavior around the time of the full moon. The gravitational fields of the moon not only affects the tides of the ocean but it also influences the emotions of people. A full moon causes people to become more sexual, more emotional and wilder. Strong things can happen during such times.

Emotions are amplified during a full moon and very good things or very bad things can happen during those times. It is the time when you can see the best or the worst in people being displayed. Those are critical times when something can be created, or destroyed. Just like everything else, the lunar cycles are governed by the principle of rhythm, and if you can master rhythm, you can master life itself. People who cannot be in control of their emotions to a reasonable extent with intelligence will fail in living.

The secret of success is being in control of one’s consciousness and energy. Emotion is consciousness and energy, and when one isn’t in control of emotion, then one is a victim of fate. Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will run your life and you will call it fate.One who is conscious is aware of the forces that is influencing him and takes steps to turn things deliberately where he wants it to go. When one fails to be in control of emotion, one often destroys the very things that took time to be built.

During full moon cycles when emotions are amplified, people can feel very lively or they can feel very depressed. It depends on which emotional state they are in during that time, and whatever they feel will be magnified many times over. That’s why when sexual feelings are felt between two people, more sexual encounters are manifested. When people get into quarrels during those times, strong emotions result and breakups or destruction of friendships occur. Anything that happens is magnified to the max.

There are four main phases of the moon. The first is the Waxing Moon. This is the phase where the moon is increasing from a crescent to full moon. The second is the Full Moon. The third is the Waning Moon. This is the phase where the moon is decreasing from full to a crescent. The forth is the new moon. This is the phase where there is no visible moon in the sky. All these phases of the moon have their corresponding effects on emotion and magickal phenomena. Be aware to do things at the right time.

The Waxing Moon represents a gradual ramping up of the psychic energy bathing the Earth. It is suggested that new endeavors are best started during this time. The lunar increase is supposed to help carry the project forward. The Moon is growing and has a pulling in effect on all things exposed to her energy. This is the time of great psychic enhancements and effects. You can set abundance wishes to increase and expand the things you want to have.Set intents to attract and draw in what you want.

The point of maximum psychic energy occurs when the full face of the Moon is visible in the clear sky. Many people perform sacred rites and rituals during this time, sometimes for worship, sometimes for magic and sometimes for both. Healing, divination, dreamwork and practically every other form of magick seems to get a boost if performed during the full Moon. This is best for the strongest psychic energies and can be used in any magick spells. Intentions sent forth have greater power to manifest.

The Waning Moon indicates a gradual reduction of psychic energy that we are receiving from the Moon. The ending of projects can be accomplished faster and more smoothly by being aligned with this natural decrease in energy. This is also a time of introspection and meditation. 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 neither want nor need in your life. Remove curses, limitations and barriers.

The New Moon represents the force of death and decay. Activities and magic related to cleansing and destruction are appropriate for this time. Is time for rest and as well as the attainment of desires. This 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. Emotion during the time of the New Moon seems to be diminished. This is the time to relax but don’t give up on your intention. Clear your mind of limits and renew your awareness.

According to the laws of polarity and rhythm, sometimes an action would fail while the opposite action would work. Here is where we have the seemingly contradictory approach of intention and detachment. There are times when intentions would manifest opposite results more strongly during a full moon. This is called psi-missing. The thing to do when this occurs is to let go of your intention or to detach. When things seem to happen opposite during a full moon, then do what you would do in new moon.

Understanding the cycles of the moon in relation to physical events is just another aspect of understanding nature. It is just like understanding the four seasons, the tides, the winds and the dream cycles. Knowledge is power and the more of it you have, the more power you have over reality. Of course there is always a different condition in a different location so you can shift location to experience a different condition. But working in harmony with the cycles of nature can be of a great help in effortless working.
