The moon is the most-used timing tool in modern witchcraft, and the most over-complicated. This hub collects everything we've written on it, in the order that makes sense to read it. Start at the top if you're new; jump to whichever piece answers the question you came with if you're not.
Start with the cycle
Working with Moon Phases: new, waxing, full, waning and dark. What each phase is traditionally used for and how to actually plan around it without rescheduling your life.
How to Make Moon Water: the simplest full-moon ritual there is (a jar, a windowsill, a night). What it's used for and what to leave out.
The special moons
Blue Moons and Supermoons: what actually makes them different (there's real astronomy underneath) and how practitioners treat each.
Eclipses in Witchcraft: why eclipses got a different reputation from ordinary full and new moons, and the genuine debate about whether to work with them at all.
A layer deeper
The Void-of-Course Moon: the one timing concept you can't see by looking up. Whether it's worth tracking, and how.
Moon Signs for Ritual Timing: the zodiac layered on top of the phase, grouped by element so it stays usable.
What's Your Birth Moon Phase?: a modern, personal lens (we say so plainly) on how you might naturally approach starting, building, finishing and resting.
The other half of the sky
Sun Magic and Solar Correspondences: the daily and yearly solar cycle, which maps onto ritual timing just as cleanly as the moon's monthly one.
And for the yearly cycle in full, written for our seasons: the Southern Hemisphere Wheel of the Year.
Upcoming moons (Melbourne time)
Full moons: 27 September, 26 October, 25 November, 24 December 2026. New moons: 11 October, 9 November, 9 December 2026. We publish a short piece before each full moon in The Almanac.
