What is Moon Water?

Moon water 💧 is simply water that has been exposed to the moonlight and charged with a Magical intention. The water will now embody the properties and energy of that moon phase so we can use it whenever we need it in our craft.

How to Prepare Moon Water

We frequently use this water when for any reason we can’t work during the best Moon phase for a spell. Instead, by charging regular drinking water with the energy of the moon, we preserve that energy until a later time.

▶️ A Moon Water Recipe for Every Phase: Boost Your Magic Powers

Recipe by Francisco Huanaco
Difficulty: Easy

Moon water is simply regular water that has been blessed under the Moon. You can make it on any lunar phase (not just the Full Moon!) chanting this easy Wiccan spell.

Ingredients

  • Drinking water (it can be tap/rain water if it’s safe to drink)

  • 1 bowl or a glass container of any size

How to Prepare Moon Water

  • Pour water in the bowl. If it’s your first time, use 3 cups of water. Otherwise, feel free to experiment with the amounts.
  • Put the bowl in a place where it will be lit by the moonlight, preferably outside, but it could be near a window inside your home. It’s a good idea to use a glass bowl or a transparent bottle to allow the light to reach the water without obstructions. It doesn’t matter if it’s cloudy outside, since moonlight, just like sunlight, can pierce through the clouds easily.
  • As you place the water in the moonlight, consecrate it by saying out loud:How to prepare Moon Water
  • Your intention/petition could be attracting more money to your life, healing a part of your body, fixing a relationship, or anything else where you want to focus this sacred energy.
  • You don’t need to leave the water outside all night. A few hours is enough, but make sure to collect it before dawn, before the sunlight touches it.
  • Filter out any insects that might have landed on the water and pour it in a bottle or jar. Store it in a dark place such as a kitchen cabinet or refrigerator until you use it.

Tips for Collecting Moon Water

To make a very powerful Moon Water, start the first night of the lunar phase you chose (for example, the first night of the Full Moon), and charge the water outside for 3 consecutive nights. This can be done not just during the Full Moon phase, but during any lunar phase. Each has its own Magical properties as we will see below.

How to Use Moon Water in your Rituals

1. Enhance your Meditations

The first step towards strengthening your intuition is to recognize its existence. Being aware of your powers is key in realizing full potential while meditating.

purple-candle
  1. Light a blue or purple candle on your altar.
  2. Apply a drop of Moon Water to your Third Eye chakra (between the eyebrows) to open yourself to divine wisdom and revelation.
  3. Follow a guided meditation to awaken your inner knowledge and listen to your intuition.
  4. Find a place of peace within you, allowing the visions to come to you with ease. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t have any visions at first, practice makes perfect.
  5. Keep a bottle or jar of Moon Water near your altar to keep working on your abilities.

2. Add Moon Water to your Baths 💧

  1. Fill your bathtub as you normally do, and pour some Moon water that you’ve previously prepared. Get in the tub and pour the rest of the water on yourself.
  2. Follow a Spiritual Bath Recipe for more ideas. If you need to cleanse any specific part of your body, focus on that area. Visualize everything that no longer serves you being released from your body and aura.
  3. If you’ve charged your Moon Water with a specific intention, focus on absorbing the light of that intent, while promoting intense peace and relaxation. Wash your hair with Moon water to encourage growth with a divine glow.

3. Bless your finances with Moon Water

To make your money flow easily, Water is the perfect Element. Have confidence that nothing can stop the flow of money in your life.

  1. Bless your money by sprinkling just a few drops of Moon Water on your purse or wallet.
  2. Visualize the possibilities and the outcome you expect.
  3. On the Full Moon, you can cast this Silver Moon Spell for Money manifestations.

4. Purify and cleanse your home with Moon Water

Cleansing your sacred space is very important. No spiritual work can be done in an environment full of stagnant energy.

  1. Make sure to clean your house physically with a mop/sponge as you normally would and add some Moon Water to your bucket.
  2. You can also just sprinkle the water with your fingers or a spray bottle wherever you want to clean and bless the space.
  3. Optionally, combine this water with herbs or essential oils to spread more positive energies. Learn more about Herbal Witchcraft here.

5. Consecrate your crystals with Moon Water

Gemstones and crystals are powerful tools that we use to store, absorb, or amplify energy.

Charging your crystals implies establishing your intention and purpose. When you charge them under the Moon, they are infused with the deep symbolism of Lunar Magic (intuition, protection, and mystery).

  1. Place your stones outside to bathe under the Moon
  2. Put a bowl with water next to them.
  3. Make sure it’s safe to wash your stones with water, and phisically clean them with Moon Water.

6. Water your plants with Moon Water 💦

Consecration passes an intention or specific energy from your spirit onto the plant. There are many ways to bless a plant: This is a simple method which can be adapted to any practice.

  1. During the day, take the plant with both hands. If the plant is on the ground, place your palms near it.
  2. Visualize and feel a Magical energy flowing around the plant, fueled by your own heat and energy.
  3. Say the following spell:
    “Sacred Nature, bless my plant.
    Moonlight gives you a healthy life.
    My Magic is your power,
    To grow and protect me.
    So mote it be!”
  4. Water your plant with Moon Water, or spray its leaves with it.

7. Charge your water with the energies of the Zodiac ♋

Each day, the Moon is passing through a zodiac sign. Do this if you want to invoke a specific trait of a zodiac sign, for example, during a future ritual or spell.

  1. Place a bowl of water by the window where the moonlight will touch it. You can also do this outside.
  2. Visit Today’s Lunar spell and follow the guided meditation for the current zodiac sign.
  3. Once you’re done, store the Moon water in a bottle or jar.
  4. Use the water in your ritual by simply placing a bowl of Moon Water on your altar as you call upon the Element Water, or sprinkle some water on your tools.

Can I drink Moon Water?

If you are using clean drinking water, there’s no risk! You can drink a few sips before starting your ritual to energize your body with the energy of the moon, or make a tea with it!

What else can I do with Moon Water?

There are plenty of things you can do with it, such as taking a bath, washing your hands or face, carrying it with you as an amulet, or even cooking and cleaning your home with it!

But its true Power lies in that you treat it as the sacred tool that it is. It’s not just tap water anymore. It’s now been consecrated and charged with your intentions, so don’t waste it or play with it. Be thankful because water is an essential element for life and all living things.

Can you make Moon Water on a cloudy night?

Yes! The energies of the Moon are always present, even when it’s cloudy outside. Just like the sun rays, moonlight is potent enough to travel through the atmosphere, clouds, and even through the pollution of big cities.

  1. Geetanjali Khan

    Thank you for such wonderful informative post.

  2. i’m a beginning witch who is still in school. for moon water, can i:
    -instead of using a clear bowl, can i use my opaque water bottle for every day at school?
    -instead of leaving it until dawn, can i pick it up when i wake up (7 AM)?

    • Francisco Huanaco

      Yes, I encourage you to try this Moon Water recipe even if you don’t have a clear bowl, just use whatever you have at hand. That’s how we all get started! And you can pick it up as soon as you wake up, that will be fine. 👍

  3. Summerlight

    I cannot believe how awesome this place is, it’s not just a website or community it’s an experience. I can’t thank you enough for creating a place like this. I’ve been practicing over twenty years and I still learn something new here! Over time practitioners tend to over complicate their practice and trip over themselves, this information is an accurate and beautiful reminder that it’s ok to keep things simple and enjoy the experience more. Hope you don’t mind but I’ve decided to stay as there is always so much to learn. Thank you again for an amazing place.

  4. Summerlight

    One more thing, I can’t thank you enough for remembering us Southern Hemisphere witches contained in the information all over the school. Thankyou from my heart to yours for this!

  5. Enesi Sunday

    Thanks so much your teaching

  6. AS a beginner. I am often searching around on the internet looking for as much information as I can get thru finding threads, watching videos, getting books, but I found this place looking thru Pinterest one day, and since the first time I found this place. I have ended up here nearly every time I’m looking up some information I’ve heard or seen on something else. I’m so weary of a piece of any kind of info (esp. from the web) I have to find several sources of the same info to make sure I’m getting the correct information, and not being misled or misguided by getting “fake” information. I just want to express my gratitude and appreciation for what I’m finding to be a large wealth of Information. It’s almost overwhelming. I’m extremely appreciative of the free information, spells, and much more. Thank you for all that you’re doing here by providing this community So newbies like me can find the things We’re looking for without pressure of paying for information that I have found here. Honestly, I could say much more here but I wouldn’t have the time. This is the best thing I’ve found as of yet in the last year. If there was an app I’d def. download it, (I’ve added a Shortcut to my home screen anyway)! Can’t wait to come back and read more on the things I’m learning about ! Excited!

    • I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying what we have here at Spells8! We’re all pretty proud of everything we do here, if I do say so myself. For what it’s worth, we do actually have an app version that’s available on the Google Play Store and the Apple Store 💖 if you choose to get download it, I hope you love it!

  7. With the moon water can we use a fake crystal and put it in the water when it is turning into moon water and can we make the moon water in a bottle and wear it and is it ok if I take the moon water after I wake up (7 am) or take it when I come back from school (3pm) so it will be charged with sun and moon energy
