Moon worship has been around since the earliest days. As ancient civilizations used the changing cycles of the moon to plan and chart time, they discovered that special energies were active during different moon phases. Today, Wiccans use these correspondences to fulfill our dreams and align ourselves with the universe. The Dark Moon on January 24, 2020 is the perfect time to heal, renew and rebuild. Dark moon energy is like all vibration – it causes an effect even though you can’t see it.
Dark Moon Spell to Master Stress January 24, 2020
This month, we will focus on a dark moon spell to master stress. Some people accept stress as a by-product of modern times, but it can lead to mental and physical breakdown. This ritual will help you to focus on the good things in your life that can be difficult to appreciate when stress clouds your vision. You will use Borage to fortify your inner self and Celery Seed to improve your concentration. Your touch stones, which you will use during the spell and as a reminder afterwards, are Smoky Quartz and Moonstone. You will also learn a simple affirmation to help keep you focused.
There is some ambiguity around the terms dark moon and new moon. For our purposes, we will follow the astrological version, which means the period after the waning moon and before the first crescent of light appears from the new moon.
My eBook Dark Moon Spells & Rituals contains 15 simple spells, including the one above, that take advantage of the special energy of the Dark Moon. All the spells follow traditional Wiccan correspondences using candles, crystals and herbes that are easy to find. They help to maximize the energy of these dark moon spells.
Blessed be!
