Moon Phases for Magic

There are four phases of the Moon… New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon and the Waning Moon. Each of these phases has a 7 day period for doing your Magical workings. If you add these phases up, you come up with the 28 day lunar month. The time period for each phase is… 3 days before to 3 days after. This gives you plenty of time to plan and do you Spell casting.

Not everyone can plan on doing Magic on one certain day, so this opens the window of opportunity for those of you who have a busy schedule.

Look at the different phases of the moon listed below, and do your spell working according to the moon phase.
