2. Check an almanac for the exact time of sundown on the day you have chosen. At sundown, place the glass out of doors in a moonlit place (cover the glass with clear plastic wrap).

3. Remove the glass at dawn. The water is now filled with lunar potency. Drink the moon water every morning to prepare your body, mind and spirit for the stress of the day.

Stones

Moonstone

A Moon Priestess honors her body and listens closely to what she needs. She listens to her intuition – it is her compass and voice of her Higher Self. She seeks to connect with the Divine in her own way. She feels a magnetic pull to Lady Moon and the nature all around her – she deeply wishes to connect and stay in-tuned with Mother Earth and her seasons, dancing around the wheel of life, despite living in an urban setting. She yearns for deep soul-sister connection. No comparing, just loving and celebrating together in sisterhood. She actively seeks this in the modern day world through online communities and close to her location.

By working with crystals, we can bring down the Feminine Divinity and celestial energy of the Moon into our earthly plane. It becomes tangible – something we can see and feel.

And what Moon Priestess doesn’t love pretty crystals?

How Moonstone works with us

Moonstone embodies the Divine Feminine and is related to the Sacral, Heart, Third-eye, and Crown chakras.

The Waxing and Full moon phases are her realm.

She helps to open ourselves to our own wisdom and intuition.

She also encourages us to delve deep with ourselves as we search for our truth, helping us to connect to our Goddess-within. She helps men to connect more with their feminine side for balance and wholeness. She brings calmness, openness, patience, and love to the wearer.

Physically, she helps to regulate our moon-time- lessening cramps, PMS, balancing the flow. Carry her in your pocket during your cycle and see how she eases discomfort.

Try this when you need to ease cramps or open up your sacral chakra:

Anoint 1 or 2 moonstones with Clary Sage essential oil (for cramp pain), and then with your moonstone, massage your ovaries/ or sacral region in a spiral motion.

The spiral represents creation and the birthing cycle of life.

This can also stimulate your creativity and intuition.

Questions to think about:

  1. Do you honour your Goddess Within?
  2. How do you wish to honor the Moon and your Priestess?
  3. How will you work with moonstone?

Selenite

Selenite is a great stone for the Moon. The glow of Selenite reflects light like the Moon reflects the light of the Sun. This stone reflects the light within us all. She is the yin energy and connects us to our feminine essence. She connects us to the Divine within us and opens us to spiritual enlightenment.

Selenite gives us mental clarity and can be a good study aid. This stone also attunes and aligns all the chakras. If you have a Selenite wand, wave the wand over your chakras in a sweeping motion for a good auric cleanse. I especially like to do this on my moon-time or around the New and Full Moon phases.

Moon Lore: Selenite is named after the Greek Full Moon Goddess Selene. Selene would rise every evening as the Moon to look down upon her lover, Endymion. He was a prince who was granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus on the condition he would remain in eternal slumber. It is also said Selene requested this so no one could ever have him but her.

Place this white selenite oval on your altar or use it within your ritual magic to help direct, contain, or cleanse energy.
