Moon water is a fun spell that is very useful in many ways
And it is great for beginners because you can make it as simple or complex as you want

But it isn’t required
Moon water is water that has been charged by the full moon overnight without being touched by the sun the next morning. It absorbed the healing energy of the moon and the calm energy of the night. It can be used for drinking, spells, cleansing, and more

I like to make my moon water at the same time that I charge my crystals
Just be careful not to leave crystals in the rain if they are not water safe
You don’t want to damage them while charging them!
What is moon water?
Moon water is water that has been charged by the moon and by the night
It is most preferred to make moon water in the direct moonlight
But you can make it when the moon isn’t visible
Just expect the energy to be less potent
Also, avoid making it during a storm
The goal is to charge the water with peaceful and calm energy
And a storm will not help with that

There are so many ways to improve the basic moon water ritual
And it is completely up to you how simple or complex you want it to be
What makes moon water different from regular water or water that is outside all the time?
Moon water is water that was intentionally exposed to the moon’s energy and the calm night energy
It is different from regular water because of the energy that was added overnight during the full moon
But it is also different from water that has been outside all the time
Rivers, lakes, and even water bottles left outside has been exposed to the same energy
But they have also been exposed to the sun and the day’s energy
The sun is really good at drowning out the moon’s energy
It isn’t pure calming and peaceful energy once the sun hits it
The potency of that energy needs to be intentionally created by a witch
The water is put outside during the full moon after the sun has gone down and is brought in before the sun comes back up (preferably)
Then it is stored somewhere dark in the home
Imagine having a small cup
At night, you fill it with blue water
During the day, you fill it with red water
What happens when you keep doing this?
Will you ever end up with just blue water?
No
You will probably just have purple water
You will struggle to get the same effect with sun and moon water exposed that you do with just moon water
What is moon water used for?
Moon water is used for a variety of different things
If you want a full list, check out this article
But I will go through a few uses here
I like to use moon water for cleansing my home and my tools
Of course, make sure that whatever you are cleansing is water safe
Don’t cleanse crystals that are water soluble in moon water
But I use it to make my air fresheners, cleaners, and soaps
Moon water’s most basic use is for drinking
There are many benefits to that!
Moon water can be used in spells as well
Another favorite of mine is using it in my bath
I just add some to my bath water when I have had a hard day
It brings that calm, peaceful, and healing energy into my bath
Then I just soak in the water and take in that energy
Even better if you are doing an elemental bath
There are so many opportunities to use your moon water
Just think of all the ways that you use water!
You can use moon water instead of water for many of those uses
The only limit is your imagination
Why is it great for the beginner?
Moon water is great for beginners because it is simple to make and has so many uses
Beginners that are unsure can put a jar of water in the full moon and then drink the water the next day
It is simple and low risk
What is the worst that will happen?
You drank some water
There is less need to learn wards and protect yourself with this ritual
But it is always a wise choice
You can make moon water as simple or as complex as you want it to be
If you don’t have a specific use in mind, making basic moon water is perfect
If you do have a specific use in mind, you can add herbs, crystals, and runes to your jar easily
It is also not sure active
You put together a jar of water, set your intentions, and then leave it out during the full moon
The hardest part is remembering during the full moon
Of course, you can get more intentional with zodiac energies and by putting the water directly in the moonlight
But that isn’t required for a beginner to get started
So don’t let all the options get in the way of just starting
Start with simple moon water and try new things next month
Maybe set a reminder on your phone when the full moon comes
I can’t tell you how many times I found out a day too late what day the full moon was
Also, be careful of conflicting energies
You can make moon water on a cloudy night
But it isn’t recommended to make moon water on a stormy night
Storm water is used for chaos magick
And moon water is a peaceful tool
Whatever you decide to do, just get started
The only way you will learn as a beginner is by trying things and learning
Just make sure that you know nay protections that you need before starting spells
You got this and enjoy your moon water!
