Witchy Wednesdays, Vol. 2: Waning Moon Magick

As said in Vol. 1 of Witchy Wednesdays, “The Moon represents the innermost part of ourselves- our subconscious and intuition…The Moon also represents the nurturing mother, the divine feminine, the yin to the sun’s yang…The Moon’s gravitational pull is the driver of the earth’s tides, representing the emotional waters of our collective conscious and unconscious…Full Moons represent power, success, and completion. It is the culmination point of what has been brewing and manifesting in your life since the New Moon.” 

Keeping all that in mind, the Waning Moon symbolizes reflection, introspection, transition, and release. It is a time of clarity and closure as we tie up loose ends before moving on to our new goals and intentions with the New Moon. Mother Moon spends about two weeks in this waning period, going from Waning Gibbous to Waning Crescent. 

Waning Moons Phases are especially potent and powerful periods for:

• Shadow Work 📝🧘

• Smoke Cleanses 🌿💨

• Egg Cleanses 🥚💦

• Moon Baths 🛁

• Cord Cuttings 🕯️✂️🕯️

• Release Magick/Rituals 🕯️🔥🧘🏾

• Clarity/Truth Magick/Rituals 🕯️🪞

• Crossroads Magick/Rituals 🛣️ 

• Strengthening/Healing Magick/Rituals ❤️‍🩹 

With Mercury and Venus going direct the days leading up to it, this last Full Moon was an incredibly powerful push to honor ourselves, our needs, and our inner light. As we move forward, we must carry these lessons with us. What cycles are you closing right now, and what are you calling the era you’re stepping into?
