Of all the astrological bodies in the sky, the moon is the one we can see and connect with the most. It’s closest to us, showing her face in different phases throughout the month.
This waxing and waning of the moon helped create ancient calendars, influenced holidays, and inspired spiritual rituals. It’s no wonder that it’s also long been tied to magic and witchcraft.
Ancient Greek and Roman literature regularly accused witches of drawing power from the moon, but they aren’t the only cultures to tie magic with the moon. It’s a common thread woven throughout history all over the world and continues to influence magic practitioners of all stripes today.
If you’re curious about how the different phases of the moon can be used to manifest energy, here are nine books on the power of moon magic to help bring your goals to fruition.
