Question of the Week: 99 - 2/16/2003

What Moon Phase Are You In?

Consider the phases of the moon: Waxing (strengthening, enlarging, increasing), Full (powerful, energetic, extroverted, public), Waning (banishing, forgetting, diminishing, retreating), New (hidden, secret, introverted) and Once in A Blue (unexpected, outside the norm, quirky, special).
Which such ‘phase’ is your life, emotional state or spiritual growth in right now?
Do you consider and/or utilize the moon phases in your spell work or rituals? How so?

| Stage Of My Life | Feb 23rd. at 11:31:55 am EST |

| Emilasia (Kentucky) | Age: 16 - Email |

I would say that right now I am in the New Moon phase of my life. Just as I learn new things about myself and my close friends, it gives me more to think about on my own. Here lately ive been talking to people less and thinking more. But, as a teenager that changes a bit every day I suppose it really depends on what day it is as to which moon phase im in...

| From Waxing To Full | Feb 23rd. at 12:36:12 pm EST |

| Serena (Savannah, GA) | Age: 25 - Email |

It has taken me much of the 25 years I have been alive to move from New to Waxing, now I see myself moving into the Full. It has been wonderful and at other times kinda hectic. But I love to see myself changing, and with the help of the good friends I have made, seeing myself being molded into something better. I can't wait to see what the future holds, even in this time of uncertainty.

| Dark Of The Moon | Feb 23rd. at 1:37:16 pm EST |

| Ailsidhe (Waco, TX) | Age: 25 - Email - Web |

I feel I am in the Dark of the Moon at this stage in my life. It is that transition stage, between the old self and the new self. What my future holds is difficult to see, so many paths my life could take. I am young still. Too old to be a child, too young to have my life figured out, or so it would seem. It is an uncanny time, a scary time. There is no light shining down to guide my path. I must feel my way along, waiting for that silver sliver of new moon to appear in the sky. This is known as the Dark Night of the Soul. It is that entering into the underworld to face my darker side... to see what the illusions are. I cannot pretend my way through life. I cannot hide my true self from the world any longer, for I went through the growing and the fullness and the waning before, and this next moon of my life--this next cycle--will bring greater change and growth than I have ever known.

| I'm Not Exactly Sure | Feb 23rd. at 3:20:59 pm EST |

| Kalie Lenta (Atlanta, Gorgea) | Age: 13 - Email |

I'm not sure wich moon phase I am. I never really looked into it and always really concintrated on trying to get my levitation (and spelling) right. It would be cool if I could find out, But I most of the time am to busy.

| Am I Supposto Know That??? | Feb 23rd. at 3:36:50 pm EST |

| Lexie Jordan (Meno, South Dakota) | Age: 13 - Email |

Are we suppose to know what moon phase we are? If so I don't. I haven't been a wicken for long. Very short time span. maybe about 1 in a half days now. It's a lot harder than I thought it was. I never get anything right and don't have anyone to teach me or correct me on the things that I messed up or got wrong. It's not easy being a new wicken with not a lot of info or people to help you. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to know. Should I even be brought into the religion I don't know what's going to happen next. What if a spell I try to cast gets supper messed and I end up being cursed or somWhat then? If anyone has any advise I'd like to hear it. I proboly couldn't any way. If I wagranted 3 wishes I'd wish that I had some one to teach me this, that I could be able to inforse my powers, and that I could do any spell with the perfect results.

| In Between | Feb 23rd. at 6:39:44 pm EST |

| Shirah (USA) | Age: 16 - Email |

I'm teetering between waxing and full at the moment. I went through some hard things for me, but then it seems things went uphill fast! A thing that I have been hoping and wishing for, for a loooong time finally heppened. Rather, it's begenning to happen! So who knows what the full moon will bring. My waxing, to the full, and the full will be amazing to be part of.

| My Moon Phase... | Feb 23rd. at 8:53:27 pm EST |

| Emberdragon (West Virginia, USA) | Age: 14 - Email |

My moon phase would probably be between a waxing and a waning, depending on the mood, um... maybe it would be full, but I feel like it's half and half, you know? I mean, i don't really know how to explain it, well, that's my answer.

| The Moon And Me | Feb 23rd. at 11:29:13 pm EST |

| amanda (florida) | Age: 31 - Email |

First of all I believe I am in the waxing stage of the moon. My life just got better. I know it may seem hard to believe that this happens but it does. As to the other question. I definately use the moon in spells at least the powerful spells. I will do a spell for things I want i.e. a promotion during the waxing of the moon, and I do spells to get rid of things like bad habits during the waning of the moon. I also do full moon rits and I add a spell if I have a great need.

| New | Feb 23rd. at 11:52:13 pm EST |

| Marissa (Renton, WA) | Age: 23 - Email |

I'd say my phase would haave to be "New" right now.... Could possibly be that I'm on a graveyard shift rotation this week (not seeing many people or desirables at that) or that last week wasn't so good; either way, the interesting thing about this time is the sense of optimism I have. It comes as a surprise now, I think because I always saw the New Phase as the dark time when in reality it was the beginning of just another cycle. It's all in how I looked at it.
It's pleasing to be happy now, but not just because happy feels good. I had a fabulous dream today where we entered another waxing time, possibility and magic are in the air, and I have three more days to enjoy the quiet of the very early morning. It's not very often when I realize just how good things are in the here and now.
