    Light on lore and heavy on practical ceremony, this book is an ideal reference guide for both novices and experienced practitioners, working alone or in a group. Moon worship has been part of our history since the earliest days. The constantly changing cycles of the moon enabled ancient civilizations to plan and chart time. They also discovered that special energies correspond to the different phases of the moon. Today, these connections are being rediscovered as we seek to fulfil our dreams and align ourselves with the universe.Each full moon spell contains traditional correspondences, a complete ritual and appropriate seasonal recipes. All have been thoroughly researched and tested and are designed for the busy Neo-Pagan in today’s world.You can use Full Moon Spells & Rituals as a stand-alone book, as a companion to my Wheel of the Year guide Simple Wiccan Magick Spells & Ritual Ceremony, or alongside any other Wicca books you may have.These spells, rituals and correspondences are designed to maximize the energy of different full moons, but they can be used any time. If you feel you do not need the magick of a particular full moon, simply give thanks for that blessing during ritual and proceed to the spell of your choice. However, the power generated will be stronger during the corresponding full moon. Blessed be!

    Unlike many spell books, the tools and ingredients listed in these pages are common household items.
