Moon Phases, influence and magic
![]()
Reflection on the moon.These transient thoughts are just another shadow on the face of the waning gibbous moon. The moons gravity pulls on the water,
creating tides. Water is a symbol for prosperity for power and energy, Water is also the metaphor for emotion, intuition and mystery. It suddenly occurred to me that waning, waxing, full or new,The moon effects the oceans in the same way. In regard to the reality of the moons true nature. The moon phases we see are an illusion. Whatever the moon appears to be her true form is unchanged The moon phase symbolizes and or effects what we see and how we feel but does not alter the true essential substance. Only at the full moon can we see the whole moon and even then only one face. So all our seeming lacks and losses and sorrows are like the moon phases, only an effect and illusion by shadow cast upon the whole. Peggy Jentoft, 2006

It is a time for reflection, meditation, and getting ready for the next new moon cycle. The dark moon is a time for exploring our shadow side and understanding our angers and passions. Also bringing justice to bear. Banishing, rebirth, new beginnings, starting with a clean slate. |
