As spiritualists and occultists, we know the full moon holds a special magic. But why is this lunar phase so potent for working spells, rituals, and manifesting intent? As someone who regularly practices under the full moon, I've found several reasons for the moon's heightened energy at its peak.
When the moon becomes fully illuminated, it aligns directly across from the sun along the same axis as the Earth. For a brief time, these celestial bodies are fully aligned. This creates an opposition of cosmic forces that generates a surge of intuitive, psychic energy prime for magic.
Additionally, the moon is closest to the Earth during its full phase. This physical proximity lets us feel its effects most strongly during the 3-day peak. Emotions and dreams also intensify as the moon governs our inner tides.
The moon's light is a key factor, bathing us in activating photon particles and beams of silver lunar energy. Light and darkness must coexist in balance, so the full moon offers abundance and advantage.
In many spiritual traditions, the full moon amplifies the power of intention through spellwork and rituals. Setting goals, releasing the old, and manifesting desires during the full moon utilize its dynamic force to our benefit.
Make the most of this monthly magical window by creating full moon rituals. Cleanse crystals, craft moon water, practice divination, charge amulets, set goals in your Book of Shadows, and cast prosperity or passion spells.
When the full moon rises, you'll feel its mystical energy humming. Align with its glow, and discover why this phase has drawn witches for generations to work our most potent magic beneath its celestial splendor. The full moon quickens power - ride its building tidal surge to manifest your deepest desires.
Best full moon spells
The full moon is the best time to practice most types of rituals and spells. It’s the time to go all out and do your tried-and-true or to try new spells you might find intimidating. The full moon phase is also a great time for divination, so bust out those tarot cards if you so feel inclined.
Here are some suggestions for effective and meaningful full moon spells:
• Release spell - Write down negative habits, relationships, or feelings on paper. Burn it in a cauldron or safely outside to symbolically release it and move forward.
• Abundance spell - Charge a green or gold candle with sigils for prosperity. Burn while visualizing wealth and chanting to manifest resources.
• Divination spell - Light a purple candle and meditate on the flame to strengthen intuition. Scry with mirrors or crystal balls in the moonlight.
• Love spell - Carve hearts and runes into pink candles. Burn while focusing on romance goals and self-love. Add rose petals for emotional healing.
• Protection spell - Make a moon water protective spray by charging water crystal Quartz points. Mist around yourself and home.
• Dream spell - Place lavender, mugwort, and chamomile under your pillow to enhance prophetic dreams and spiritual insight.
• Growth spell - Plant moon-associated seeds like pumpkins or beans in fertile soil after imbuing them with growth energy.

How to set up a full moon altar
An altar is so personal, and you should only ever put items on yours that feel right for you. That said, I highly recommend setting up a full moon altar outside if possible. Nothing beats showing adoration or respect to the deities with the moon watching just over your shoulder.
If you want to add symbolic items to your full moon altar, here are some magical correspondences associated with the energy of the full moon:
Deities - Goddesses like Isis, Diana, Artemis, Hecate, Selene that embody the divine feminine, magic, and the hunt. Gods like Thoth, Khonsu, and Sin are associated with the moon, writing, and wisdom.
Crystals - Moonstone, selenite, opal, pearl, fluorite, clear quartz, and labradorite help enhance intuition and spellwork.
Herbs - Jasmine, lemon balm, chamomile, aloe, eucalyptus, wintergreen, yarrow, and other white/silver plants. Used in rituals and healing.
Metals - Silver has lunar vibrations, which can be incorporated into jewelry, ritual tools, candles, and decor.
Animals - Creatures of the night, like cats, bats, owls, and wolves, are sacred as they commune under the full moon's glow.
Symbols - The triple moon symbol, crescent moon, moon phases, lunar runes, and yin yang evoke feminine duality and cycles.
Tarot - Cards like the High Priestess, Moon, and Ace of Cups connect with intuition, dream states, and exploring the subconscious realm.
Colors - Silvers, whites, blues, and purples represent the cooling, mystical light of the full moon. Black evokes the new moon's darkness.
When crafting full moon spells and rituals, incorporate correspondences based on your specific goals and intentions. Let the lunar tides guide you!
