Because its energy is feminine in quality, the Goddess is often symbolized by the phases of the Moon. Each phase vibrates differently and corresponds to a specific Goddess personality, as well as to a variety of magical purposes. These are outlined below for your convenience.
Waxing Moon (Light Maiden): When the Moon grows from dark to full, we use its energies for anything that requires increase, growth, or enhancement. It's a good time to work efforts involving fresh starts, inspiration, new love, friendships, business-building, and financial properity. It also provides suitable conditions for healing, increasing physical stamina, developing psychism, and garden planting.
Full Moon (Mother): The Moon's energy is at its most potent when it reaches this stage. And while we can use it to boost any effort, it's of real benefit to complicated workings or difficult situations.
Waning Moon (Dark Maiden): When the Moon shrinks from full to dark, we use its vibration for anything that requires shrinkage or elimination. This works well for efforts that involve dieting, breaking bad habits, obliterating stress or depression, or the elimination of dysfunctional relationship patterns.
Dark Moon (Crone): Some practitioners use this phase to rest, regenerate, and regroup. Be that as it may, others use its energies for psychic work, divination, and delving into past life memories, as well as matters where getting to the truth of a matter is at issue.
