Moon Water Magic: How to Make and Use Moon-Charged Water in Your Spells

“Water remembers. And when it touches the moon, it becomes something sacred.”

Moon water is one of the simplest yet most powerful magical tools in a witch’s arsenal. It’s easy to create, endlessly useful, and deeply aligned with lunar energy. Whether you use it for blessing, cleansing, divination, or spellwork, moon water amplifies intention and connects you to the rhythm of the cosmos.

What is Moon Water?

Moon water is simply water that has been charged under the moonlight with a specific intention. It absorbs the energy of the moon phase it was created during, making it a versatile conduit for spells, rituals, and daily magic.

How to Make Moon Water

What You Need:

• A clear glass jar or bottle (with or without a lid)
• Filtered or spring water
• Optional: herbs, crystals (non-toxic), or sigils for added power
• A window sill, balcony, or outdoor space with moonlight exposure

Steps:

1. Fill your jar with water. Hold it in your hands and state your intention (e.g., “This water is charged with protection and clarity.”)
2. Place the jar where the moonlight can touch it overnight during a full moon or new moon.
3. Leave it out from moonrise to sunrise if possible. Retrieve it before direct sunlight hits it, especially if made for shadow work.
4. Label it with the date and moon phase, and store it in a cool place or on your altar.

Best Moon Phases for Charging

• Full Moon: Abundance, power, clarity, manifestation
• New Moon: Beginnings, intention, shadow work
• Waning Moon: Banishing, letting go, cord cutting
• Waxing Moon: Growth, attraction, progress

7 Magical Uses for Moon Water

1. Cleanse tools: Sprinkle on altar tools to recharge them
2. Ritual baths: Pour into your bath for healing and spiritual purification
3. Water your plants: Especially during a spell of growth or prosperity
4. Scrying or divination: Use in a black bowl for water scrying
5. Floor washes: Add to mop water when spiritually cleansing your home
6. Drink (optional): Only if you’ve used safe ingredients and containers
7. Anointing: Dab on your third eye, wrists, or candles during spellwork

Optional Additions

• Rose petals: Add for self-love or beauty rituals
• Quartz crystal: Enhances energy (only use water-safe stones!)
• Sigils: Tape one to the jar or draw on the lid for charged intention

Storage Tips

• Keep in a cool, dark space
• Use within 1 moon cycle if not preserved
• Label each jar with moon phase and purpose
