Planetary Magic of the Moon

For this spell, you will need:

Two 1st Pentacle of the Moon from the Key of Solomon
Two keys
Water from 3 or 7 different sources
A clear glass bottle or jar that can hold quart to a gallon of water
Two large clear glass cups or clear glass bowls.
Master Key Oil

The first step is to collect the water for the spell. At a minimum you should get water from a minimum of 3 different sources. They can come from natural sources, or holy water from a church. They can all be similar, like spring water from different springs, or different sources, like river water, spring water, rain water etc… You can also get all holy water from different churches. 

Once you have your waters, combine the waters into one clear glass container that should be clean. At a minimum you want a quart of water, but you can make more.

Then take this water, and on the night of the full moon, expose the water to the light of the full moon.  If you can expose it all night, that is good, but even just 5 minutes is enough to enchant the water with lunar light.

This next step can be done at any time afterwards, but it should be done either the day before, the day of, or the day after the full moon. So you can do it right after making the moon water, or you can wait for the next full moon or many full moons later to do it.

Take the 1st Pentacle of the Moon talismans, and set them down. On top of each pentacle, set a glass cup or bowl so you can see the pentacle through the base of the glass. Fill the cups with your special moon water. Take one key and insert the tip and blade of the key into the water of one glass. Turn the key as if you are opening a door. Take the other key, and put the end into the other glass of water, and turn that key as if you are locking a door. As you do this with each key recite the verse from Matthew 16:19,


I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Remove the key from the water and dry it off. Take three sips of the water from the water that you opened with the key. You can bathe or rinse yourself in this water, sprinkle the water inside your home, and use it for other beneficial aims to open “metaphorical” doors for you for any purpose. You can also drink this water, or infuse it with herbs to focus the water on a specific goal, such as good luck, money, or love.

With the water that you locked,  you can use this to protect your home by locking out your enemies, and sprinkling it outside around your home, or in the paths of enemies to lock them out of good fortune to cross them up. You can also infuse herbs for protection into this water for yourself, or infuse crossing herbs to focus the water to cross up and lock up your enemies.

Take the keys, and anoint them with Master Key oil. These keys are now lunar talismans that can help you to unlock or lock up things. Keep them someplace secure and use them in your rites as desired. You can also wear them as talismans that will bring you good luck and avert misfortune and enemies.

Alignment and Beginning the Spiritual Path

Spiritual alignment is a big thing in today’s practices. Many books will give instructions in various systems that are about aligning your metaphysical anatomy. Alignment with certain spirits is also pointed to a desirable state, such as certain guides or the Holy Guardian angel, or spirits of various traditions that “rule” over the practitioner. One could embrace one practice, or embrace multiple practices. Very seasoned and experienced practitioners will often have regular practices that help to keep them aligned, from meditation, visualization, energy work, etc…Many authors, practitioners etc will report that oftentimes just doing the work of alignment will produce many desirable effects.
For the beginner however, looking to start on their path, often the process of moving into alignment is a difficult process. Looking for a new way to satisfy the spiritual longing that they feel, which is no longer being supplied by previous experiences or practices. How does one find alignment and their way to move forward?
My experience was primarily through self taught and practice through reading, and putting what I read into practice, in order to have those experiences. Reading a lot of books can be useful for those that enjoy reading, but not everyone likes that, or may find it challenging.There are other sources of information, this is the Age of Information after all, and being able to turn to multiple sources or finding sources that will support your best learning style. Books are just one source, and just like any other source, problematic or questionable information can be promoted through books. This also applies to blogs (such as yours truly) but youtube videos, tiktoks, twitter, podcasts, websites and more. You can find quality information and you can also find problematic information. The process of searching, and experimenting with practices from these sources in and of themselves can be a process of alignment. You may jump around a lot, trying out new and different practices that appeal to you in the moment. You may find one practice that appeals to you, and dedicate yourself to doing it regularly. I honestly recommend most people to try out as many things as possible, especially if they are just curious or starting out. Some people may recommend only to read certain books or only to listen to certain podcasts, etc, but I find that personal experience is the best teacher. Even if at the beginning you get involved in questionable stuff, you can learn from that experience and recognize the problems, and see them in other material before. You can develop discernment and critical thinking and analysis to separate out the garbage from the gold, or the material that aligns with you from the material that doesn’t align.
If you’re lost or wandering, and you’re looking for a spiritual path, here is a ritual to help you find your path. The ritual is done during the full moon. The reason for using the moon in this spell is because the part of the symbolism of the moon in astrology is helping travelers, which in a metaphorical way applies to opening roads and helping people on their path, whether it is a literal path, or a spiritual path.

For this ritual you’ll need 

  • Water
  • Wine
  • Bread (rolls are easiest to use)
  • Incense (any kind, sticks or cones included)
  • White candle (tealights, a short taper, a votive or a large vigil candle)
  • Olive oil (or any oil in a pinch)
  • Bowl (optional)

At night, under the full moon, when the moon is rising in the sky, or at its zenith, stand in the moon’s light. You can do this outside on the ground, or inside by a window, under a skylight, or if you have some kind of atrium. If you’re outside, dig a shallow hole. Look at the moon and praise it, for its light, its fullness, how it governs the tides etc… Pour out some of the water, and some of the wine. Take the bread and tear it in half and offer up both halves. Light the incense and wave it attractively around for a bit.. Anoint the candle with oil. Place the candle in a holder and light the candle. Make a gesture that indicates you’re offering this to the moon. Visualize the offering growing and multiplying until it covers the earth. Tell the moon thank you for its presence, and for its blessings, and ask it to open and guide you to the spiritual path that is right for you. Drink some of the water, some of the wine, and eat some bread. Relax under the moon’s light and visualize its light filling your body, from your head to your toes, and aligning you with the spiritual currents that are right for you. Perhaps visualize yourself floating gently on a calm river, the current taking you towards your spiritual destination. Do this as long as you feel you want to. When you feel finished just refill the hole, clean up, and go home. If you did it at home, clean up, and take the contents of the bowl outside and dispose of it at the base of a large and healthy tree.

After this you may receive dreams, or signs, or just find things falling into place for your spiritual path, etc.… This may take many forms, but the strongest indicator is when you feel a clear and strong sense that an event that occurs is a sign, and that the information is very clear, and doesn’t require a lot of intense questioning to make sense of.  If a dream isn’t clear, just document it, and go on. Many small events may also occur which will slowly shift you towards your path.
