Lunar Phases: Waxing Gibbous

If you're new to paganism or esoteric wisdom, you may be wondering, why the obsession with the moon? For me, I like to view topics like these both scientifically and spiritually. From a scientific perspective, the moon influences the tides of the ocean, the biggest body of water on our planet, so why wouldn't we think it also naturally influences our bodies (which are made up of a large percentage of water) too? Additionally, women specifically, are often naturally synced with the moon on a hormonal level, with many women experiencing their cycle in alignment with the same phase of the moon month after month if they are on a true 28-day cycle.

Spiritually speaking, the moon is a symbol of wisdom, the death and rebirth cycle, and is connected to the Great Goddess. So, when we align our routines in conjunction with the lunar cycles, it can feel like we are more aligned energetically with the way things are happening in nature.

Lunar cycles have long been associated with spiritual practices such as paganism and moon magic. The moon's energy is believed to influence our emotions, intuition, and overall well-being. By aligning our lifestyle to match the different phases of the moon, we can tap into its healing power and find balance in our lives.

Working with lunar cycles allows us to harness the energy of each phase for specific purposes. During the new moon, we can cleanse, release, set intentions, and plant seeds for new beginnings. As the moon waxes, we can focus on growth and manifestation. The full moon is a time of heightened energy and amplifying things of importance in our lives. And as the moon wanes, we can reflect, recharge, and prepare for a new cycle.

By incorporating lunar practices into our daily lives, we open ourselves up to a deeper connection with nature and ourselves. We become more attuned to our own rhythms and learn to honor both light and shadow aspects within us.

The Waxing Gibbous

To tap into the magickal energy of this lunar phase, there are several practices you can incorporate into your rituals or daily routines. One common approach is to set intentions or goals during this time, as the energy of the first quarter moon supports manifestation and forward momentum. You can write down your desires or create a vision board to help visualize what you want to manifest.

Additionally, performing spells or rituals that align with growth and progress can be particularly effective during this phase. This could include spells for abundance, career advancement, personal development, or any area of life where you seek positive change. Many practitioners also find it beneficial to work with crystals or herbs that correspond to growth and manifestation during this lunar phase.

Remember to always work with intention and respect when harnessing lunar energies. Take time to connect with the energy of the first quarter moon through meditation or reflection before engaging in any magickal workings. By aligning yourself with this potent lunar phase, you can enhance your manifestations and bring about positive changes in your life.

Working With the Waxing Gibbous

To harness the energy of the waxing gibbous moon phase, you can engage in various magickal practices. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Rituals for manifestation: Use this phase to focus on what you want to manifest in your life. Write down your intentions or create a vision board that represents your desires. Perform rituals or spells that align with these intentions during this powerful lunar phase.

2. Charging objects: The waxing gibbous moon is an excellent time for charging crystals, talismans, or other objects with intention and energy. Place them under the moonlight overnight or create a sacred space where they can absorb the lunar energies.

3. Divination and reflection: The heightened energy during this lunar phase makes it an opportune time for divination practices such as tarot readings or scrying. Reflect on any insights gained during divination sessions and use them to guide your actions moving forward.

4. Healing rituals: Utilize the waxing gibbous moon's energy for healing work by focusing on physical, emotional, or spiritual well-being. Perform rituals like meditation, visualization exercises, or energy healing techniques during this phase to promote balance and restoration.

Remember that everyone's spiritual practice is unique; therefore, feel free to adapt these suggestions according to your own beliefs and preferences. By tapping into the magickal potential of the waxing gibbous moon phase through intentional practices, you can align yourself with the moon's energy and enhance your spiritual journey.
