🌙 Crystal Magick by Moonlight: A Crystal Infused, Lunar Spellwork Guide for Every Phase

🌙 Crystals for Every Moon Phase: Harnessing Lunar Energy for Magick, Ritual, and Renewal

by Aura Sukha

The Moon, our celestial sister, ebbs and flows through a divine cycle every 29.5 days, gifting us with distinct energies at each phase. Just as the tides respond to her call, so too do our emotions, intuition, and spiritual practices. Working with crystals, colors, candles, and spellwork aligned with each lunar phase allows us to deepen our magick and align with the rhythm of nature.

Below is a guide to the 8 Moon Phases, their spiritual meanings, actions to take, crystal allies, candle colors, and magickal spells to perform.
