Luna

The Moon has always held a special place in my soul. She is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. And some people never even notice She is there.
.

Her magick is powerful. She effects our moods and controls the tides. She can influence the growth of crops(planting by the moon is one example) and the power of spells.
.

She has been blamed for madness. The word "lunatic" comes from the root Luna. If you've ever talked to someone who works in a hospital or a police officer, you will soon hear stories about the moon influencing human behavior. The Moon has been worshipped since time before time. People have prayed to Her, danced in Her silver light, and used her power to charge and to bless. Her light is a very powerful force.
.

She is also used to lend power to magickal workings. Using the correct phase of the moon will make a spell much more powerful. Waxing for things you wish to increase - wealth, creativity, fertility, - full moon for great strength, stability, steady energy -Waning for things you wish to decrease or banish, a bad habit, or to end a relationship.
.

She is used in divination, even by people who don't "believe" in magick. A ring around the moon means snow is on the way - is just one example.

Moon water is simply water that has been cleansed, charged, and blessed by the light of the moon. It is very powerful and has many uses. It may be used in healing teas, to cleanse tools and objects for your alter, or to bless a child in a naming ceremony.
.

Gather your water and boil it for a few minutes. This is an important step if you will be storing the water for any length of time as it inhibits the growth of bacteria and makes the water safe for consumption. let the water cool so that it doesn't break your container.

Using the funnel - pour you water into your container. Take the bottle outside and put it where it won't be disturbed, but will be in the moonlight overnight. I prefer to use the full moon. But use whatever phase feels best to you. If you can't set the container outside for some reason (due to freezing for example) just set it on a windowsill where the moons light is shining in.

If you are part of a coven or group and want to make Moon water together, have everyone bring a small amount of water and mix it together before boiling. Proceed as above. This is a very powerful coven/group supply.

you could chant over the pot as you are boiling or as you are placing the container in the Moon light.

" Mother Moon, Mother Moon.....Bless this water with your light...."
