There are more uses for moon water, but these are some of my favorites!
Drinking it
The most obvious use for moon water is to drink it
Make sure that you make your moon water with drinking water if you want to drink it
But there are a lot of benefits to drinking water including:
- A calming affect
- Regulating hormones
- Improving menstrual cycles
- Increasing water intake
- And more

Making air freshener
I like to make as many things in my home as possible
That way I know what I am allowing in my home and it saves us a lot of money
One of the things I make is air freshener!
It has a light lavender smell but also removes the stink from the air
One of the main ingredients of air freshener is… water!
So instead of using regular water, I use moon water
That way I am adding more magick to my daily activities
Moon water calms my home and cleanses it
So not only am I cleaning the smell of my air, I am cleansing negative energy as well
To make my air freshener, you need:
- 2 cups of moon water
- 4 tbsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 dropper fulls of lavender hydrosol (or scent of choice)
Add the baking soda and vinegar to a spray bottle and wait for the reaction to stop
Then add moon water and lavender
Shake well to combine
Store in a cool dark place
Lightly spray in the air where you want to freshen up
Making a cleaner
Another thing I make for my home is a cleaner
Yes, I use things like bleach if needed
But I avoid it unless it is really needed
To make my all-purpose cleaner, you’ll need the following:
- 1 cup of moon water
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- 2 tbsp rubbing alcohol
- 20 of lemon or orange essential oil
- 20 drops of tea tree essential oil
Mix all ingredients together in a spray bottle
Making soap
There are two ways of making soap
I like to use cold process so I have more control over ingredients and so I can use moon water
When making soap, you need to decide what kind of soap you will use
I make my shampoo and our dish soap
Sticking with cleaning, I will share my dish soap recipe
Make sure to wear gloves and eye protection!
To make dish soap, you will need:
- 3.2 oz caster oil
- 28.8 oz refines coconut oil
- 8.5 oz filtered moon water
- 5.6oz lye
- 2 tbsp citric acid
- 2 oz lime juice
- .8 oz orange essential oil
- Heat proof containers
- Soap molds
- Glass measuring cup
- An immersion blender (don’t use it for food after)
- Double broiler
Start by mixing the moon water and lye in a heat-proof container
It will get hot!
Mix until dissolved and put aside (This is toxic so keep out of reach of children and animals)
Add solid oil to double broiler and melt
Add citric acid and caster oil
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (lye and oil should be close in temperature)
Add lye to oils ( never the other way around!)
Use an immersion blender to mix well
You are waiting for the texture to change
When you lift the blender and a drop sits on top of the mixture instead of mixing, it’s ready
Add essential oil and lime juice and mix until combined
Pour soap into molds and allow to dry for 24 hours
Remove from molds and let dry for 4 weeks
Do your research before making your own soap for your own safety!
Watering plants
Just like drinking moon water, moon water is great for watering your plants as well!
It has a such beautiful energy that will give a lot of love to your plants
I like to add oats and a couple of tea bags to my moon water for 24 hours
The strain the tea and oats out of the water before giving it to your plants once a month
It is a great fertilizer that gives your plants some amazing nutrients!
Giving it to pets
Of course, you can also give moon water to your pets for the same reason it is great for plants and for you
Just add the moon water to their water bowel and love on them for a while
You can also add moon water to your dog’s dry food to make it wet food
My dogs always enjoy that!
Adding to spell jars
I love making spell jars
You can use moon water to cleanse, but you can also use it in the jar
Just make sure that you boil the jar first to make sure there aren’t any germs in there that can grow later
Add the moon water to the cleansed jar with a few other herbs and water safe crystals
Make sure there is some air so the jar contents can move
Then super glue the top on and finish with wax
And you have a spell jar!
Use the ingredients that match your intentions
Painting
I have seen witches use moon water in their water painting and I love the idea!
It is a beautiful way to add magick to everyday activities
You can also add runes and color magick to the painting, but that isn’t requires
Charge crystals
I love my crystals and I try to charge them once a month
You can use salt to cleanse them every day or the moon to charge them once a month
But you can also use moon water throughout the month to charge your crystals
Please make sure you research every crystal before adding them to water to make sure they are water safe
Some crystals will dissolve and ruin!
Baths
Ritual baths are a wonderful way to do elemental rituals
And they are so relaxing!
You can upgrade your baths by adding moon water to your bathwater
Relax and enjoy to comfort and calmness of the water
Deity offering
If you do deity work, then offering your deity moon water may be a great idea!
Make sure you do research to see if moon water is something that they enjoy
But putting the moon water in a pretty jar or bottle before offering it at your alter is a great use for your moon water
