Lunar Correspondences: The Ultimate Guide to Aligning Your Magick with the Moon’s Cycle
What Are Lunar Correspondences and Why They Matter
- Lunar correspondences are the symbolic associations (crystals, herbs, deities, colors, etc.) that align with the Moon’s phases, signs, and energies.
- Using correspondences in your rituals deepens your connection to the Moon’s cycle and amplifies the intention behind your spellwork.
