Three Moon Spells for Your Magickal Practice
When I first wrote The Lunar Apothecary I didn’t quite know where to put these Moon-centered enchantments that were sort of like spells, sometimes more complex rituals, and sometimes too lunar to properly name. I ended up tucking them into the study guides that I send out each month to my students as magickal mementos that dwelled happily in the spaces between lessons. Updating the study guides recently I wanted to share three of them with you to inspire your own practice of Moon magick.
If you’re called to go deeper with your lunar practice, be sure to check out my course - The Lunar Apothecary. There we learn about what it is that calls us to healing work and the unique gifts we have to offer through meeting plant allies and exploring techniques of Moon-centered magick.
Onwards, onwards, the Moon is calling…

Moon Spell #1
If you wish to gaze as the Moon gazes and know the secrets hidden in the night, take a saltwater bath and then present yourself to Her beneath the light of Her fullness. Hold up your dominant hand skyward so that it covers the Moon and say:
What we forget to see is not forgotten
Bring your hand down and raise your receptive hand, curling the fingers into a circle, holding one side of the Moon within the boundary of your hand’s circle. Say:
What is re-member is revealed
Hold up both hands, forming a crescent bowl and cradling the moon between them. Gather up lunar energy and then bring your hands to your face, covering your eyes. Speak that which you wish to know and when your desire is held firmly in your heart and mind, open your eyes, paying attention to what is around you for an omen shall emerge from your surroundings in response to your query.
When done, hold your hands together again as a crescent bowl and place them softly against your third eye. Say:
What is dreamed guides us onwards

Moon Spell #2
When you have a question that need answering, find three stones bathing in the moonlight.
Name the first stone Plenty.
Name the next stone Release.
Name the third stone Patience.
Ask your question to the Moon, holding the stones up to see Her face. Hold them to your heart and then toss them before you.
The stone that is closest gives the answer.

Howl.
