Phases Of The Moon Case Study

1. You are to describe the phases of the moon and what they mean magickally. There are six phases of the moon. The first phase of the moon that we can see is the New Moon. This phase shows us just the narrowest crescent of the moon. It is the time for new beginnings. Magickally, it is good for increasing types of spells, whether it is for love, money, or business ventures. Basically anything that you want to increase, so it would NOT be a time to ask for more bills, or a bill reduction. Instead ask for an income increase. (Please pardon my sense of humor, if it offends.)
The next phase of the moon is the Waxing. This is where you can see the moon getting bigger but it is not full yet. From the time of the moon showing halfway to

The full moon is a time for celebration and the energy is balanced. During the waning moon is where you work with things you want to decrease. You want to do a healing to get rid of illness for example. Or do a house cleansing to get rid of negative energy. The crying moon is where you get rid of the emotional baggage and bring things to an abrupt end, such as unhealthy relationships. In the dark moon, this is where you get rid of things such as addictions or something of a serious threat. It is also the time to deal with curses.

3. Why is each full moon given its own name? Each culture gave names to the full moons, some of them were based on obvious characteristics such as February being the Snow Moon. And December being the Cold Moon. The exception to the names being re-occurring by month is the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the name of the moon closest to Autumn Equinox, usually in September but every three years happens in October. Another reason for the names were so that everyone in that region would know what time of year something
