About this ebook

Harness the power of the magical, mystical, glorious Moon with more than 100 spells, chants, and rituals, along with Esbat celebrations for the Full Moon.

The Moon is one of our most prominent and ancient symbols. It has shaped how we understand and track time, its movement controls the tides, and its rise into the sky signals the coming of night. The distinct phases of the lunar cycle have associations with different states of being. These states mirror a kind of spiritual quest which, like our search for ourselves, never ends. When we observe the Moon, we see reflections of the grand pattern of life that is birth, death, and rebirth.

With this invaluable handbook filled with enchantingly beautiful illustrations, follow the Moon as she traverses each sign of the zodiac and discover how each astrological phase affects magic—and how your personal Moon sign affects your magical work. The discussions include the influence of the seldom-discussed energies of the Blue Moon, the Black Moon, and lunar eclipses.

Each Moon phase is explored individually to cover the phase’s main themes along with Moon rituals, intention setting, and practical ways to celebrate and manifest health, wealth, and confidence. With specific suggestions for each phase, you’ll discover a variety of tools for harnessing moon magic, including:

• Traditional lunar herbs such as lavender, angelica, mugwort, and sage to magnify and support your intentions
• Crystals and gemstones to raise your personal vibration and enhance your intuitive powers
• Essential oils and candles to match your mood or intention and add vibrational power to your spells and rituals

You’ll soon be using spells during each moon phase for things like:

• Conquering change (New Moon)
• Living joyfully (Waxing Moon)
• Romantic love (Full Moon)
• Banishing bad (Waning Moon)

Open your arms to Mother Moon, and allow her to take you into hers, with Moon Magic.

Ratings and reviews

Moon Magic by Aurora Kane Interesting look at the moon that includes information about various cultures’ beliefs about the moon, moon deities of these cultures, ways to embrace or draw the goddess into oneself, use of the moon in working magic and various ways to use crystals, herbs, rituals and tarot while working magic. This book has basic information to build on and plenty to learn for the novice and would be a good source to refer to as one works their way through the year. I think the one big idea that I would be interested in trying is to find candle holders in a rainbow of colors to use instead of colorful candles…the candleholders could be used with intent just as candles are chosen for their specific color for a specific ritual…and they would be pretty on an altar or anywhere when not being used for magical purposes. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4-5 Stars
