Moon Cords

The idea behind moon cords is to embrace and preserve specific attributes of moon power which are available during a specific moon phase. These attributes are directed into a length of cord and held there byknots; thus the attributes are available to the witch at any time. For example: you may wish to perform some magick which is appropriate to the waxing moon.

Ideally, you would be wisest to wait until after the moon is new to utilize the most compatible energies for your work. But what if you have good reason not to wait, and what if in linear time the moon is actually waning? No problem, if you have prepared a new moon cord, you can draw upon the new moon power at any time of any month. You can prepare a cord during each phase of the moon, and thus, have available to you the power of each phase. However I strongly suggest that you use the cords only when absolutely necessary, and try to work with the phases of the moon in the sky whenever you can.

TO PREPARE A MOON CORD:

Use a length of colored wool, or embroidery thread about two feet long. You can have five different colors if you prefer and prepare five cords: new, waxing, full, waning and dark. Or you can simplify matters and use three colors for three cords: new and waxing combined, full ( alone ),waning and dark combined. I find it sufficient to work with three.

To prepare a cord during the appropriate Moon phase, Light your goddess candle and sit at your altar or work table- or go outside. State alignments, and call on that aspect of the goddess who rules the phase you wish to put into the cord. This is called charging the cord. Thus for the new and waxing call upon Diana; for the full call upon Selene, for the waning call upon Hecate. It's a good idea to use your athame for this, as the process is related to drawing down the moon. In a sense, you are drawing her down for each phase to enter your cord, so you may draw a pentagram over the face of the moon, or over the candle flame which represents her, and trace a line of power from the moon or flame into your cord, stating words of power.

"By the one power. Working for and through me

I hereby call upon you, Diana,

To enter this cord with your power to charge this cord

enter this cord for the good of all

and according to free will for the work of positive magic only

To aid me in my work at the appropriate times,

According to your will as these knots are tied."

Then tie nine knots in the cord, placing them equidistant from one another and use the ninth knot to tie the cord into a circle. then add:" So mote it be"

Place this circle on the altar encircling your Goddess candle, and leave it there for awhile, meditating if you wish on the phase of the moon with which you have charged the cord. When you feel your work is complete, wind the cord into a compact little entity and enclose it in a tiny pouch or box. This is kept on the altar. It is best kept near your own tools.

When you work with a moon cord either hold it in your hand or place around your goddess candle, as you do specific magic for which you need it's aid. When you are finished, put it back in it's holder. You may take it out and hold it under the moon during it's name phase, to recharge it, but this is not absolutely essential. There is no drain on moon power, such as with a battery. The power is in the moon cord to stay.

Full Moon Ritual

You will need:

Two white candles

A bell

Wine or lunar liquid

Your chalice (or cup)

Spell material if you are doing something afterwards

Cast your circle.

Stand before the altar facing North and say:

This is the time of the full moon, a time of great power for positive manifestation, a time of increasing and gaining.

The tide of Moon-power is strong.

I am of the Goddess.

I stand before You at Your altar, in love and adoration.

Be with me Goddess.

Let me feel your presence here tonight."

Go to the east with the bell.

Ring it once and say: "Hail Selene. Help me feel the Lady's power and presence within my mind."

Go to the South.

Ring the bell once and say: "Hail Cerridwen.

Help me feel the Lady's power and presence within my spirit."

Go to the West.

Ring the bell once and say: "Hail Athene. Help me feel the Lady's power and presence within my emotions." Go back to the North. Ring the bell once and say: "Hail Aphrodite.

Help me feel the Lady's power and presence in my body."

You will probably have an amazing wave of feelings come over you. Let them sink into your body and soul. When you are ready, return the bell to the altar, turn to the North, and raise your arms high above your head.

Say:

"Hail Goddess! Moon Mother, Lady of Light, Mistress of Magick and Animals.

You are the white light of the Moon upon the Earth, the brillant rays of sun upon life.

You are the beginning and ending, the One who creates and takes away.

Within You, I see myself and all woman.

In this time, You come to me and fill me with your presence."

Communicate with Her now. Tell Her your problems, wishes and anything you wish to tell her.

When you are finished say:

All honor and love to the wonderful Goddess, for She is the power behind all powers,

the Goddess behind all gods,

the Eternal Life behind death.

I see Her loving face within the moon and rejoice.

All Hail Queen of the heavens and the earth, the eternal on of Wisdom!"

Raise the chalice to toast her and say:

To Diana and all the Goddesses!"

Now is the time for divination, meditation, and spellwork of any kind.

Close the circle when done.
