#MOON ASTROLOGY MAGIC ICON HOW TO#

Understanding these celestial portents and knowing how to utilize the current state of the heavens unlocks tremendous power. The Moon's ever-changing phases are an obvious and dramatic celestial clock, reflecting the state and momentum of natural forces to those who know how to read them. This technique, though, is as ancient as it is potent. Timing rituals to appropriate Moon phases is a popular method of spell casting for the modern conjurer. Lunar timing is a tool used not only by the state and the church, but also by occultists, witches, and magicians. We see this with the Chinese calendar, where specific holidays are held on the same Moon phase year after year the timing of the Islamic holy month Ramadan, and even in the determination of Easter in Christianity. Several cultures throughout history have used a lunar calendar to schedule holidays or religious rites or otherwise applied lunar phases to pinpoint the timing of feast days. Selecting the appropriate time for religious ritual and observation is another significant endeavor that the Moon has historically played a large role in. Whether she's used for calendric purposes (Chinese New Year), agricultural pursuits (Harvest Moon), or other seasonal observations, the Moon has played a central role in measuring and qualifying the human experience of time.

Mankind has utilized the Moon in timing since the dawn of humanity.
