Moon water

What is Moon water?

Moon water is simply a container (usually a glass jar) filled with water (any kind of water, but remember that different types of water have different correspondences) and left out overnight under the light of the moon, either outside on your window sill. Make sure to bring the container of water in before the sun rises. The water in the container has now been cleansed and charged by the moon. 

Most people place their water under the full moon when the energies are at their most powerful but you can use any of the moon phases or lunar events to make the moon water, some people don't like to make moon water during an eclipse as the energy is quite chaotic but if you personally don't feel any negative emotional effects during an eclipse then it is OK to make moon water then. 

Water is one of the most programmable substances, humans themselves are 60% water and the moon is one of the biggest influences and amplifiers on our emotions and our energy. So by harnessing both the power and energy of the moon and water, we can benefit in many ways.

It can then be used for spellwork, drinking, water plants, sprayed as an energy cleanser and purifier for a room, object or yourself, cleansing and programming your crystals, heightening your intuition, amplifying your rituals or yourself if you drink it, manifesting, connecting with nature and the lunar cycles, making essential oils or blends, water your plants, daily energy or aura cleanse (in a spray bottle) use in your beauty routine, use it in your essential oil diffuser or burner, cook with it, drink it in tea, drink before bed to aid in lucid dreaming, scrying, potions, 

You can other items to your moon water to supercharge your intentions, things like herbs, crystals (make sure they are water safe and if you intend to drink the moon water make sure the crystals are not poisonous), salt, flowers, or even essential oils. You could create a sigil and draw it on the outside of the bottle or jar, or use a rune.

For example, if your intention was:

• Balance you could add - green ribbon, sage and basil, amethyst, and a few drops of sandalwood. Draw a rune of Gebo, Eihawaz or Tiwaz, 
•  Intuition you could add - make under a waning moon and use blue or purple ribbon, honeysuckle and chamomile, azurite and amazonite with a few drops of rosemary. Draw a rune of Kenaz
• Protection you could use - make under a waning moon and use white or black ribbon, bay leaf, lavender and garlic, fluorite and black obsidian and a few drops of eucalyptus and jasmine. Draw the rune of Algiz.
•  Creativity - a ribbon of yellow or orange, mistletoe and angelica, aventurine and lapis lazuli and a few drops of peppermint or patchouli. Draw the rune of Kenaz

How to make Moon water:

1. Get a glass container and make sure it's washed and rinsed out well especially if you plan on drinking the moon water. A mason jar, repurposed jam jar, a jug, or even a glass bowl.

2. Fill the container with water, and remember different types of water have associated correspondences so for extra oomph make sure your correspondences add up. Click here to read the post on Water Correspondence.

3. Leave it outside where is will get the max amount of moonlight, or on a window sill that again will get the most amount of moonlight.

4. Make sure to collect the jar before the sun's rays reach it. Store somewhere dark for up to 14 days. Be very careful what crystals, metals, herbs and flowers etc you put in your moon water if you planning to drink it some are poisonous.
