There’s a unique allure to the idea of harnessing the energies of celestial bodies, especially the serene and powerful moon. For centuries, moon water has captivated the imaginations of spiritual practitioners and those seeking a deeper connection to the universe. This magical elixir is more than just water – it’s imbued with the moon’s energies, offering a myriad of potential uses. In this blog post, I share what moon water is, how to make it, and some of the enchanting ways you can incorporate it into your life.
What is Moon Water?
Simply put, moon water is water that has been charged by the light of the moon. This practice involves setting a container of water outside under the moonlight to absorb the moon’s energy. The water is typically left out overnight during various phases of the moon, most commonly during a full moon or new moon, when the moon’s influence is believed to be the strongest.
How to Make Moon Water
Creating your own moon water is a simple yet deeply spiritual practice. Here’s a basic guide to get you started:
Materials:
- A glass bottle or a bowl
- Clean water (preferably spring or filtered water)
- A moonlit night (full moon for the most potent energy)
Instructions:
- Select the right night: Choose a night when the moon is in a phase that aligns with your intention. The full moon is great for amplifying energies, manifesting, and completing projects, whereas the new moon is perfect for new beginnings and setting intentions.
- Fill your container: Pour clean water into your jar or bowl. Make sure your container is cleansed and free of any impurities.
- Set your intentions: Hold the container and close your eyes. Set a clear intention for the water. Whether it’s for healing, manifesting, love, or cleansing, speak or think of your intention while focusing on the moon’s energy.
- Place the container outside: Find a spot where the water can be directly bathed by the moonlight. If you are worried about the water being contaminated or if you are unable to place it outside, you can also leave it on a windowsill that gets plenty of moonlight.
- Leave it overnight: Allow the water to sit under the moonlight throughout the night, absorbing the moon’s energy.
- Collect and store: In the morning, retrieve your moon water and store it in a cool, dark place. You can use it immediately or save it for future rituals.
Uses of Moon Water
Once you’ve created your moon water, the possibilities for its use are endless. Here are some fascinating and mystical ways to incorporate moon water into your spiritual practices and daily life:
1. Rituals and spells
Moon water can amplify the energy of your rituals and spells. Use it as an ingredient in spell work, anoint your candles with it, or sprinkle it around your sacred space to create a powerful energetic environment. For the Rite of the Womb we use water as an element, for example.
2. Cleansing and purifying spaces
Sprinkle moon water around your living space to cleanse and purify the energy. You can also add it to a diffuser or mist bottle to create an energy-cleansing spray.
3. Bathing
Add moon water to your bath for a spiritually cleansing and rejuvenating experience. This is particularly beneficial during a full moon or new moon, as it helps you soak in the potent lunar energies directly.
4. Anointing
Use moon water to anoint yourself, crystals, or ritual tools. This sacred water can enhance the power of your crystals and objects by infusing them with lunar energy.
5. Meditation and visualizations
Drink a small amount of moon water before meditating to heighten your spiritual awareness and deepen your connection with the moon. You can also use it as a focal point during lunar-focused visualizations and meditations.
6. Plant care
Incorporate moon water into your gardening rituals by watering your plants with it. Many believe that plants can benefit from the energetic boost of moon water, growing healthier and more vibrant.
7. Enhancing beauty routines
Mix moon water into your skincare products, such as toners or mists, to infuse your beauty routine with lunar energy. This practice can promote self-love and confidence.
8. Setting intentions
Write your intentions on a piece of paper and place it under the jar of moon water as it sits under the moonlight. Once you retrieve the water, use it in rituals to manifest your written intentions.
Conclusion
Moon water is a versatile and mystical tool that can add a magical touch to various aspects of your life. By harnessing the moon’s powerful energy, you can enhance your spiritual practices, cleanse your space, and even nurture your body and mind.
