waning moon,time to make magick

Waning moon is the time for "getting rid of," which means that any workings you do are going to be more effective if you get into that mindset. Instead of doing magic to get rid of money, think more along the lines of doing magic to banish poverty in your personal life. Instead of finding love, try getting rid of loneliness. Instead of increasing your score on your next test, think about banishing a tendency to write down wrong answers. Even though we now know that it's the Earth's shadow that makes the moon change shape, our ancestors thought that the moon went somewhere else when it was dark....


To Bind a Trouble Maker
This spell is best performed at the waning moon.

Situate the cauldron between 2 black candles, with a third black candle opposite you on the far side of the altar. Burn a protection or binding incense. Have the names of your enemies written on a small piece of parchment. If the names are unknown, merely write all my enemies. Sprinkle basil and elder flowers into the cauldron. Say:

Bubble, bubble, cauldron bubble
Burn the evil, destroy the trouble.

Ignite the parchment from the central candle and drop into the cauldron. Take up the wand and stir the air above the cauldron while chanting:

Darkness ended, control is done.
Light has come, My Battle's won.

Take the ashes and herbs outside. Throw them up to the winds and the Moon.

Blessings
