Moon Magick Grimoire
First Quarter Quick Ritual
A simple 5-minute ritual for action, momentum, and moving past obstacles.Overview
The First Quarter Moon is often approached in modern witchcraft as a phase of action, decision, momentum, courage, and follow-through. Astronomically, it is the phase in which half of the Moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth and the Moon is about a quarter of the way through its cycle. This quick ritual is designed to support forward motion, choosing a next step, and building momentum through one small committed action.
