Moon Magic: Working with Lunar Cycles, Phases & Energy

In this episode, the longest yet, we step beneath the moon together and explore the magic of the lunar cycle—from the quiet darkness of the new moon to the radiant fullness of the full moon and every phase in between. We’ll walk through the history, folklore, and mythology of the moon across cultures, uncovering the stories of Selene, Chang’e, Máni, and more.We’ll also explore how to work with each phase of the moon in your own practice—through intention setting, manifestation, release, divination, and ritual—along with a deep dive into lunar correspondences, moon magic, and the connection between the moon and the body.Whether you are just beginning your practice or returning to the roots of your magic, this episode is an invitation to align with the natural rhythm of the moon… and in doing so, reconnect with yourself.In this episode:The history, folklore, and mythology of the moonLunar phases and how to work with each oneMoon magic practices: manifestation, cleansing, divination & moreMoon correspondences (crystals, herbs, deities, and beyond)The connection between the lunar cycle and the menstrual cycleA guided Moonlight Intention Ritual to work through an entire lunar monthIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and share it with a fellow witch who loves the moon as much as you do.And if you’d like to support the show, you can “buy me a cup of tea” over on Ko-fi.
