Lunar magic, also known as Moon magic, is rooted in ancient traditions and beliefs that honor the Moon as a powerful celestial force.

Full Moon: This is the peak of lunar energy when manifestations come to fruition, emotions run high, and intuition is heightened. Many believe that, to the contrary, the full Moon energy can be chaotic and scattered. (I believe this) To put it simply, You can do anything with this Moon.
Waning Moon: A period for release, banishing, letting go, and cleansing negative energy. Also, it is my favorite time to do baneful magic, curses, and hexes.
