Each month we have the opportunity to recharge our magic by visualizing the moon as a source of magical energy. Sure, we know it's just a stone in the sky that's lit by the sun, but it represents so much more. The moon is essential for the way life has evolved on Earth—the seasons, the tides; its gravitational pull stabilizes the tilt of our planet's axis. Without the moon, life on Earth would be quite different. But its hold on us symbolically is important, too. Magically, we respond to the moon and its phases. It's a guide and a foundation for inspiration.

Take time this month to work your magic, but also pause to honor the moon and reclaim your place as a practitioner of the Craft of the Wise. Visualize yourself being renewed on this magical night, taking in the moonlight and letting it fill you with energy. Channel it into your magical life. Chant as many times as you like:

Moonlight magic, you are mine. Moonlight magic, I will shine.
