The Lunar Lexicon: A Complete Guide to Moon Phase Correspondences for Ritual Magic

1. Understanding Lunar Correspondences: The Foundation of Moon Magic

• Define correspondences as energetic signatures (colors, herbs, crystals, deities, and intentions) that align with each moon phase to amplify ritual work.
• Explain the three core principles: sympathetic resonance (like attracts like), timing (working with the moon’s cycle), and personal intuition (adapting correspondences to your unique practice).
• Provide a quick-reference framework: New Moon = beginnings, Waxing = growth, Full = peak power, Waning = release, Dark = rest.

2. New Moon Correspondences: Seeds of Intention

• Colors: black, silver, white — crystals: clear quartz, selenite, moonstone — herbs: jasmine, mugwort, white sage.
• Deities: Hecate, Artemis, Diana, Nyx — intentions: setting goals, planting seeds, fresh starts, shadow work.
• Actionable ritual: Write intentions on bay leaves, charge under the dark sky, then burn or bury as a symbolic planting.

3. Waxing Moon Correspondences: Building Power and Momentum

• Colors: green, yellow, light blue — crystals: citrine, carnelian, aventurine — herbs: basil, rosemary, cinnamon.
• Deities: Brigid, Epona, Apollo — intentions: growth, attracting opportunities, increasing energy, love, and abundance.
• Actionable ritual: Create a prosperity sachet with cinnamon, cloves, and a citrine stone; carry it daily until the Full Moon.

4. Full Moon Correspondences: Peak Energy and Manifestation

• Colors: white, gold, purple — crystals: selenite, labradorite, amethyst — herbs: lavender, rose, chamomile, frankincense.
• Deities: Selene, Luna, Diana, Isis — intentions: manifestation, gratitude, divination, charging tools and crystals.
• Actionable ritual: Moon bath — place crystals and a glass of water in moonlight overnight; drink the water at sunrise for amplified intention.
