Phases of the Moon
The phases of the moon are used by devoted members of this cult to earn the favor of the Goddess Hecate. Each phase of the moon has a different purpose from consecration of a new cult member to making offerings that earn favor and power from the Goddess and intensifying magic for certain spells.
Waxing Moon Magic
The Growing Moon
The waxing moon is for constructive magic and new beginnings, such as love, wealth, success, courage, friendship, luck or health. For the Cult, it is used for enhancing mind control spells and devotion spells. New member induction’s and consecrating new implements are also done during this time. It is also a time to thank the Goddess for other members of the Cult and to ask her for success in things that one does.
Waning Moon Magic
The Vanishing Moon
The waning moon is used for banishing magic, for ridding oneself of curses, illness or other unwanted presence's in one's life. Also, knowledge, dreams, second sight are enhanced by an offering in this phase.
Dark Moon Magic
The Absent Moon
This is the cycle in which worshipers can seek the Goddess face to face to ask her advice, to receive orders or to simply spend time in her presence being taught her ways. Newly inducted members are presented for her approval and marking them as a Cult member is done. It is also the time to offer a sacrifice to her for her guidance and protection in the coming month.
New Moon Magic
Full Moon Magic:
Prime time for rituals for prophecy, protection, curses and seeking spirits of the past or future. Any work that needs extra power can be enhanced by giving an offering to Hecate. It is also a time to simply not ask for anything, but to simply give an offering to the Goddess in gratitude for all that she has done and to renew one's commitment to her.
