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—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.
Materials Needed

- 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 mugwort, lavender, rosemary, or sweetgrass offer great health benefits.

1- Set Intentions for your Moon Water
Do you have a specific intention or manifestation in mind? If yes, focus on it to guide your moon water ritual. You can communicate your intentions by meditating, singing, or even talking to your moon water.
Think of it as infusing the water with your hopes and dreams and leaving it overnight to grow stronger under the moon’s ethereal energy.
2- Choose the Right Moon Phase
This is probably the trickiest step in your moon water ritual. There are eight lunar phases, each with their respective inclinations.
Select a lunar phase that aligns with your goals. New and waxing moons boost new beginnings and growth while waning phases encourage reflection, rest, and release. Trust your intuition to guide you.
3- Rainwater and how it aligns with specific moon phases.
Now that you know about each moon phase, did you know collecting rainwater during each respective lunar cycle can enhance your moon water’s manifestation?
Yes, rainwater symbolizes cleansing and renewal. It represents the washing away of negative energies and emotional blockages. Pair it with your moon water ritual for a more potent outcome.

6- Bringing It In and Safe Storage
You can bring your water indoors the next morning after it has soaked up the moon’s energy. It's advised to keep it in a cool, dark place to keep its energy intact.

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.
