Timing Your Spellwork
Magical Timings
Line up a spell with a specific magical time: adds another layer of correspondence, but it’s not a requirement
Lots of options, can use any one or combination of these:
1. Sabbats, Wheel of the Year
- Reflects a growing cycle and what’s going on in the natural world
- Liminal times: Beltane and Samhain
- Can also use other holidays or important days/seasons to you
2. Lunar Timing via the moon phases throughout the month
- New Moon: new beginnings, set an intention
- Waxing Moon: growing, moving forward, rising energy
- Full Moon: power, celebration, lots of energy
- Waning Moon: removing things, banishing, let things go
- Special moons like blue moon, black moon, eclipses
- Moons have different energies based on what zodiac sign they are in. New moon is always the same as the sun and full moon is exact opposite
- Tides
-High Tide: attraction, prosperity spells, brings things towards you
-Low Tide: removes things, takes away, remove obstacles or negative feelings
- King Tide: very high or low tides, so just more emphasized, similar to a blue moon
