What Does a New Moon Mean Spiritually?
Please remember that moon phases do matter and these spells do require a new moon. You can check the current moon phase here. I’ve seen many younger initiates become impatient but there are plenty of other rituals you can do on other nights of the month, if a spell is designed for the new moon then be sure you have the right phase before beginning.
The new moon happens once a month when the moon sits between the earth and the sun, the sun shines on the dark side of the moon, the side we never see from earth. The side that faces the earth is not illuminated at all so the moon is invisible to us.
It is like the sun cloaking the moon for a few days, gradually we are given a delight crescent of light and the sun uncloaks the moon
One of the amazing things happens during this time, the sun and moon’s energies are conjoined and the power that radiates from this is amazing. It is a wonderfully deep and spiritual time.
This rebirth of the moon is a time of rebirth for us, we have the opportunity to use this new moon to cast spells that join in the moons reignition. It is a fresh and exciting time, but all is still hidden and the new moon in all her forms yet to be revealed.
Spiritually the moon represents our inner hidden selves, the feminine energy and desires. In this hidden space, we have time to replenish our mystic energy and get ready to join in the rebirth of the moon.
Our coven also has many full moon spells and other rituals for any night of the month, but the night of the new moon is a night to cherish and take advantage of.
