Wicca Spells for Dark Moon Feb 17, 2026
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, as solo practitioners or in a group, Wiccans use these correspondences to fulfill our dreams and align ourselves with the universe. The Dark Moon on February 17, 2026 is the perfect time to heal, renew and rebuild. It occurs at 07:01 EDT. Dark moon energy is like all vibration – it causes an effect even though you can’t see it.
Dark Moon Ritual to Overcome Bad Habits
Everyone has at least one bad habit they’d like to conquer and anytime is the right time to start a new routine. Whether it’s smoking, eating the wrong foods, or not exercising enough, they’re called “habits” for a reason and they’re usually difficult to change. This February dark moon offers an excellent opportunity to rev up your motivation.
This spell uses the following correspondences: Sage for strength, Lavender for stability and Rosemary for remembrance in any form you choose e.g. Lavender incense, Sage and Rosemary oil. Your touch stones, which you will use during the spell and as a reminder afterwards, are Lepidolite to combat addictions and Calcite to counteract laziness.
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.

Blessed be!
