What is Moon Water and How to Make It During a New Moon
Making moon water is a simple and sacred ritual that harnesses lunar energy for spiritual and healing purposes.
At its core, moon water is ordinary water placed under moonlight to absorb the moon's energy, making it a powerful tool for cleansing, manifesting, and ritual work.
When made under the New Moon, it's thought to carry the energy of fresh starts. This is especially powerful for setting new intentions and calling in what you want to grow.
But the tricky part is knowing when to make it at the right time for you and what to use it for. That’s where a complete moon ritual kit like the Lunar Goddess Kit can really come in handy.
Ready to start? You can make moon water with this simple tutorial below!
What are the 8 Moon Phases?
The eight moon phases; New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent, all represent different energies.
From setting intentions at the New Moon to releasing at the Waning Crescent, each phase offers a unique opportunity for growth and reflection. The full moon for example is ideal for crystal charging.
If this sounds like too much to remember, don’t worry! The Lunar Goddess Kit includes a full-year lunar calendar, so you're guided through every phase. You’ll always know what the moon is doing, what it's asking of you, and exactly when to act.

Materials Needed
- Jar or Container: You want to use a clear glass jar, like a mason jar. Transparency is key as the water has to absorb the moonlight.
- Water: Opt for water that is safe to drink, whether it's tap, bottled, or from a natural source.
- Label: A label can come in handy to mark the date and note the Moon's sign and phase.
- Crystals: You may want to add water-safe crystals like Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz or Amethyst to enhance your water’s potency.
- Cleansing Herbs: Herbs such as sage, mugwort, lavender, rosemary, or sweetgrass are perfect.
What’s great about a complete ritual kit like the Lunar Goddess Kit is that everything you need is all in one place. So there’s no need to buy everything separately, do extra research, or figure out what goes with what. It's all done for you.
How to Make Moon Water?
Before making moon water, it's important to know that while it involves harnessing the moon’s energy, the process is simple and accessible to everyone. Creating moon water is a sacred ritual to infuse water with lunar power, amplifying your intentions and connecting with the natural world.
Ready to give it a try? Here is your simple step-by-step guide to this powerful practice.
Your Step-by-Step Moon Water Ritual
1. Set Intentions for Your Moon Water
Do you have a specific intention or manifestation in mind? Focus on it to guide your ritual. You can communicate your intentions by meditating, singing, or even speaking directly to your water.
Think of it as infusing the water with your hopes and dreams, leaving it overnight to grow stronger under the moon’s ethereal energy.
2. Choose the Right Moon Phase
This is often considered the trickiest step, as there are eight lunar phases, each with its own unique inclinations.
Remember to pick a lunar phase that aligns with your goals:
- New Moon: Especially powerful for new beginnings, fresh starts, and personal growth.
- Full Moon: The ultimate phase for amplification, manifestation, and gratitude.
- Waning Moon: Encourages reflection, rest, surrender, and releasing what no longer serves you.
💡 Tip: To make tracking easier, the Lunar Goddess Kit comes with a handy Moon Phases Card and a Lunar Calendar to guide you through exactly what each phase means and when it occurs.
3. Harness the Power of Rainwater
Did you know that collecting rainwater during respective lunar cycles can enhance your manifestation? Rainwater naturally symbolizes cleansing and renewal, representing the washing away of negative energies and emotional blockages. Pair it with a New Moon ritual for an incredibly potent outcome.
Expert Lithotherapist Insight: "A Rose Quartz bowl can be used to collect rainwater. Crystals and moon water go hand-in-hand to help you manifest your dreams!"
4. Select the Perfect Container
Select a clean, transparent glass jar. Glass is ideal because it is non-reactive and allows the moonlight to reach the water with minimal barriers. Ensure it has a secure lid to keep out contaminants.
- The Lunar Goddess Kit: Comes with a dedicated clear glass Moon Water Bottle, so this step is already taken care of!
- Crystal Infusions: Alternatively, you can use a crystal elixir bottle. It provides a transparent glass housing with the added energetic bonus of crystals pre-installed inside.
5. Proper Placement Under Moonlight
Place your container outside on the ground or on a windowsill where it can safely sit overnight. The moon water process is most effective when the water is exposed to the moonlight directly. Be sure to avoid spots with heavy obstructions, shadows, or potential pollutants.
6. Bringing It In and Safe Storage
Bring your water indoors the next morning after it has soaked up the moon’s energy. To keep its energy intact and ensure it stays fresh, store it in a cool, dark place. If you plan on drinking it or using it in physical rituals, always ensure it remains in a clean, airtight container.

Enhancing Moon Water with Crystals
If you’re looking to step up your moon water game by a notch, try infusing crystals to your moon water ritual. Each crystal has its own unique energy that can help amplify your intentions and manifestations. Read on to discover the best crystals for your moon water rituals.
The Role of Crystal Quartz in Moon Water Magic
You may choose to place your crystals in the moon water glass jar or around it. The important step is to set your intentions as discussed above. We recommend using your crystals as a channel to visualize your aspirations and imbibe them in the moon water.
If you are submerging your crystals, please make sure to use water-safe crystals only. Popular crystals like Selenite, Malachite, and Azurite are not meant to be submerged in water.
Uses of Moon Water
Moon water isn't used by just witches and wizards, it can be used by anyone who wants to add a touch of magic to life.
New moon water benefits are wide-ranging; most commonly, spirituality enthusiasts use moon water to bless gardens and pets or to protect their living spaces from negative energy. Here are a few ways you can incorporate moon water into your everyday life and rituals.
1- Crystal Cleansing & Charging
Moon water is perfect for giving your crystals a boost. Just let them soak or mist them lightly to clear out any stagnant energy. What’s more? You can also get rid of dirt and residue this way.
2- Spiritual Baths
Moon water has been known to turn an ordinary bath into a deeply spiritual experience. Add a splash of moon water to your bathwater along with some herbs or essential oils.
3- Altar Cleansing

5- Garden Blessing
Moon water is perfect for giving your plants a celestial boost. Just sprinkle it around your garden to encourage growth and invite positive energy.
6- Pet Blessing
Moon water is great for blessing your pets. You want to lightly mist it around them or their favorite spots to infuse their space with positive vibes and good energy. Please ensure the water is safe to drink if you are adding it to their bowls.
7- Home Cleansing and Protection
Sure, water is inherently great for cleaning, but moon water can add a layer of protection and intended energy. Use it to spritz around your living space, cleanse negative energy, and create a protective boundary.
8- Yoga Mat Spray
This might sound a bit silly but, moon water makes a fantastic spray to freshen up your mat and add a touch of serenity to your tantric practice. Please be careful with the water while practicing yoga. There’s always a risk of slipping if the water is a bit much.
