DID YOU KNOW……..The Moon’s phases have a real influence on black magic, and timing your spells with the right lunar phase, especially the New Moon, can make your magic significantly more powerful and effective.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Moon governs the subconscious mind, which is the primary level that black magic works on.
  • The New Moon is generally the strongest and most effective time for most types of black magic (curses, hexes, domination, binding, causing misfortune, etc.).
  • The Full Moon brings strong energy but is usually less ideal for subtle or destructive work.
  • The Waning Moon is good for banishing or decreasing something.
  • While lunar timing is important, consistent magical work is more important than always waiting for the “perfect” moon phase.
  • You can cast spells anytime, but reinforcing or recasting them during the New Moon can increase their strength.

Moon Phases and Black Magic: When to Cast Your Spells

The Moon has a powerful influence on spell work. Understanding its phases and how they affect energy can significantly improve the results of your rituals, especially when working with darker or more aggressive forms of magic.

The Moon and the Subconscious Mind

Black magic works primarily through the subconscious mind,  both yours and your target’s. The Moon governs the subconscious, emotions, and hidden forces. This is why timing your spells with the correct lunar phase can make your magic more potent.

When casting spells that aim to influence another person (such as domination, binding, or cursing), it is often more effective when the target is in a passive or subconscious state, such as when they are sleeping. The same principle applies to the caster: working in an altered or receptive state of consciousness tends to produce stronger results.

New Moon: Best for Black Magic

The New Moon is generally considered the most powerful time for black magic and baneful workings. During this phase, the Moon is dark and hidden, which aligns with the nature of hidden, aggressive, or destructive magic.

Many practitioners find that spells cast during the New Moon, particularly those involving cursing, domination, binding, or causing misfortune, tend to carry more weight and manifest with greater intensity. The dark lunar energy supports workings that aim to disrupt, weaken, or control.

Best used for:

  • Curses and hexes
  • Domination and control spells
  • Binding rituals
  • Spells to create obstacles or misfortune
  • Any working where you want to operate from the shadows

Full Moon: Strong but Different Energy

The Full Moon brings powerful energy, but it is generally more suited to manifestation, charging, and amplification rather than subtle or destructive work. While it can be used for black magic, its bright and exposing nature makes it less ideal for spells that require secrecy or precision.

On a Full Moon, the effects of magic tend to be more visible and dramatic, but also more likely to be noticed or resisted. Some practitioners still use the Full Moon for powerful baneful work when they want maximum force, but it is generally considered less effective than the New Moon for most types of dark magic.

Waxing vs Waning Moon

  • Waxing Moon (growing): Better for building, increasing, or drawing things toward you. Less commonly used in black magic unless you are trying to increase someone’s suffering or problems over time.
  • Waning Moon (shrinking): Excellent for banishing, removing, decreasing, or destroying. Many practitioners prefer this phase for curses and hexes when they want to weaken or diminish the target.

Practical Advice for Black Magic Practitioners

While the New Moon is traditionally the strongest time for most black magic, you don’t always have to wait for it. Many experienced practitioners cast spells whenever the need arises, then recast or reinforce them during the New Moon for greater effect.

If your goal is maximum potency, plan your most important or difficult workings around the New Moon. However, consistent magical work is often more effective than waiting for the “perfect” lunar phase.

Quick Reference:

Goal Best Moon Phase Notes
Cursing / Hexing New Moon Strongest for most baneful work
Binding / Domination New Moon or Waning Sustained control
Banishing / Removing Waning Moon Good for decreasing influence
Amplifying power Full Moon Use carefully with dark magic
General reinforcement New Moon Best time to boost existing work

How We Work with the Moon at Black Witch Coven

At Black Witch Coven, we work with both the New Moon and the Full Moon, but we use them for different purposes.

The Full Moon rituals are generally carried out as a group event. These rituals serve several important functions. First, there is the traditional aspect of honouring the Full Moon through the practice of Drawing Down the Moon. Second, it provides a regular monthly gathering for the coven. In a time when many of us live apart and lead busy, separate lives, these monthly meetings help maintain connection and community within the group. Third, there is a strong element of gratitude woven into the ritual. And finally, there is the magical component itself. Depending on what is being released or called in during the ritual, the work can sometimes lean into darker or more baneful territory, even though the overall tone of the Full Moon gathering tends to be more ceremonial and collective.

In contrast, New Moon workings are usually carried out on a more individual basis. These are the times when more personal, focused black magic is performed. Whether working alone or with a small number of others, the New Moon is often chosen for specific, targeted magical operations that require deeper concentration and a more solitary approach. The darker, more hidden energy of the New Moon makes it particularly well-suited for this kind of work.

By approaching the lunar cycle in this way, we are able to honour both the communal and traditional aspects of the Full Moon, while also making full use of the New Moon’s power for more private and intentional black magic.

Final Thoughts

The Moon is a powerful ally in black magic, but it is only one factor. The strength of your intention, the quality of your ritual, and your connection to the energies you’re working with will always matter more than lunar timing alone.

That said, learning to work with the Moon rather than against it can give your spells a noticeable edge, especially when performing serious or long-term magical operations.

    Yes, the moon phase can influence demonic workings, but it is rarely the most important factor. While many practitioners prefer to work with demons during the New Moon, this is largely because the darker, more hidden energy of the New Moon aligns well with the nature of Goetic and daemonic magic.
    The New Moon tends to support workings that require focus, secrecy, and intensity. It can help create a stronger connection when evoking or forming pacts with demons, as the energy is less exposed and more conducive to deeper, more serious ritual work. For this reason, many of the more personal and targeted black magic operations involving demons are carried out during the New Moon.
    That said, the Full Moon can still be used for demonic work, particularly in group settings or when the ritual calls for greater amplification and collective energy. The increased lunar power during the Full Moon can intensify a working, though some practitioners feel it makes the energy more overt and less subtle than during the New Moon.
    Ultimately, while lunar timing can be beneficial, the success of demonic work depends far more on proper preparation, correct timing according to planetary days and hours, a clear and focused intention, and the strength of your relationship with the demon you are working with. The Moon is one influence among many, not the deciding factor.
