the waxing crescent moon is the moon we experience right after the new moon, so the moon phase we’re in right now and until june 19th. im doing my own research on information about the waxing moon, so i thought i’d share.
the waxing crescent moon brings with it a fresh energy, an energy that can be used in many ways.
here are some things to do on the waxing crescent moon:
- set/ declare your intentions
set your intentions for this new moon to the next full moon or next new moon and write them down. leave it on your altar or somewhere you see often, or set reminders on your phone for daily things you need to do to complete your goals.
- write down any ideas that come to you
fresh energy brings new ideas to conceptualize. write down any ideas that come to you or try your hand at automatic writing (some information on how to here)
- practice creativity
its a great time to be creative. if you are an artist, now is a good time to make art or come up with art ideas. if you’re not an artist, there are still more ways you can be practice creativity
- send off your desires into the world
talk to the universe about your desires. start by saying “dear universe” and end with some sort of goodbye. or, have a glass of crystal, moon, or sun water close at hand and light a candle, write down your desires on a small piece of paper, burn the paper, burn the letters to ashes while your fingers are holding the paper, and put the ashes into your cup of water and drink the cup of water
- use the law of attraction
attraction is very powerful during the waxing crescent moon. start doing visualizations and try to stay positive/ say positive affirmations. this will help you to attract the right things into your life.
- do constructive magic
constructive means serving a useful purpose. so do a candle spell or say a chant that will be useful to you. i just looked up what exactly useful meant and its “able to be used for a practical purpose or in several ways.”
- spells/chants for
wealth/ success, good luck, friendship, wishes, desires, bringing wanted things into your life, constructive things, courage, good health, carve the word success into your candle with your athame and let it burn. for growth, attraction, creation/ creatvity, inspiration, production, drawing, increasing, courage, motivation, friendship, healing, luck, love power, gaining energy, growth, learning,
- take action towards your goals and desires and journal about them
remember, no matter how much you desire something or dream or hope for something, it doesn’t just come to you by itself. you have to put in the work or seek it out yourself. and you’re more likely to achieve your goals if you have an organized and not too hard to accomplish plan. (take things step by step)

- conceptualize your goals
