How Lunar Phases Shape the Lives of Witches (and Everyone Else)

Dancing with the Moon

Ever since I was a child, I’ve felt a strange pull toward the Moon. Not in the scientific sense — though I’ve read plenty about tides and gravity — but in a quieter, subtler way. Something more ancient. I didn’t have the words for it back then, but now I know: the Moon speaks a language that witches understand.

But here's the thing — you don’t have to identify as a witch to feel her presence. You only need to pay attention.

The Moon as a Mirror

I’ve come to believe that the Moon mirrors the rhythms of our emotional and spiritual lives. Just like she waxes and wanes, we move through cycles of creation, introspection, release, and rest. Sometimes we shine; sometimes we withdraw. Sometimes we are full. Sometimes we are new.
