Pagan Essentials
The Waxing Moon phase begins immediately following the New Moon and continues until the Moon reaches its peak fullness. As the visible light of the moon increases, the energy shifts from quiet intention to active growth, manifestation, and building power.
🔮 Magical Intentions
This is the season of the “Great Increase.” It is the most potent time in the lunar cycle for magic involving addition, attraction, and development. It is ideal for:
* Manifestation: Drawing your New Moon intentions from potential into reality.
* Abundance & Wealth: Attraction spells for money, success, and prosperity.
* Healing & Vitality: Boosting physical health, strength, and energy levels.
* Confidence & Courage: Building self-esteem, motivation, and the will to act.
* Love & Connection: attracting positive relationships or strengthening existing bonds.

🕯️ A Simple Waxing Moon Abundance Ritual
1. Prepare: Cleanse your space with a dynamic herb like rosemary or mint.
2. Focus: Light a green or gold candle. Place a piece of Citrine or Jade beside it.
3. Charge: Take the paper where you wrote your New Moon intentions. Read them aloud, but phrase them as actions:
“I am attracting abundance. I am building my project.”
4. Visualize: Imagine green and gold light flowing from the candle, soaking into your intentions, and radiating out into the world, attracting opportunities.
5. Action: Take one practical step today that aligns with your goal, saying:
“As the moon grows, my goals take flight. Attracting, building, by power and light.”
6. Sustain: Let the candle burn for a short time each night of the waxing phase, reinforcing your focus.
“Every day the light grows. Embrace the momentum, feed the seeds you planted, and watch the universe rise to meet your will.”
