Witchy Basics: Moon Water


What is Moon Water?

Moon water is water that has been charged by the energy of the moon, typically left out under the moonlight overnight to absorb its ethereal qualities. Many practitioners use moon water for its properties of cleansing, healing, and enhancing spiritual practices. The practice of making moon water can be a simple yet powerful ritual, connecting you to the cycles of nature and lunar energies.


How to Make Moon Water

To make moon water, follow these simple steps:


  1. Choose Your Container

    • Use a clean, clear glass jar or bottle to allow the moonlight to penetrate the water easily. Some people prefer using a container with a lid to keep debris out.


  2. Select the Right Time

    • Making moon water during a full moon is most common, as it is believed to be the time when the moon's energy is at its peak. However, you can make moon water during any lunar phase, depending on your intention (e.g., new moon for new beginnings, waxing moon for growth, waning moon for release).


  3. Fill the Container

    • Fill your container with freshwater. You may use tap water, spring water, or distilled water, as long as it's clean and suitable for your intended use.


  4. Set Your Intentions

    • Hold the container and set your intentions for the moon water. You can silently or verbally express what you wish to infuse into the water, such as healing, protection, or clarity.


  5. Place Under Moonlight

    • Leave the container outside or on a windowsill where it can be touched by the moon’s light. Allow it to sit overnight to fully absorb the lunar energy.


  6. Retrieve and Store

    • In the morning, retrieve your moon water before the sun rises if possible. Store it in a cool, dark place to preserve its energy.


Uses for Moon Water

Moon water can be used in various ways to enhance your spiritual and daily life:

  • Cleansing and Purification

    • Use moon water to cleanse your crystals, altar tools, or personal spaces. Simply sprinkle or wipe down objects with moon water to infuse them with lunar energy.


  • Bath Rituals

    • Add moon water to your bath for a cleansing and rejuvenating ritual. This can help you connect with your intentions and the moon's energy while you relax.


  • Drinking and Cooking

    • If you used potable water and kept it sealed, you can drink moon water or use it in cooking to internalize its benefits. Always ensure the water is safe for consumption.


  • Watering Plants

    • Use moon water to water your plants, imbuing them with lunar energy and promoting growth and vitality.


  • Spellwork and Rituals

    • Incorporate moon water into your spells and rituals, especially those related to intuition, dreams, and emotional healing.


  • Anointing and Blessing

    • Use moon water to anoint yourself or others as a blessing, marking significant moments or transitions in life with lunar energy.


Moon water is a versatile and enriching tool that can deepen your spiritual practice and connection with the natural world. By aligning with the moon’s cycles, you can harness its energy to support your intentions and personal growth.
