The Practice

You don't need elaborate tools to work with lunar energy. A candle, your intention, and awareness of the moon phase—that's enough. This guide shows you how to align candle magic with moon cycles: what each phase offers, which colors work best, and actual rituals you can do tonight with what you already have.
