I have a grimoire that specifically states to do workings on The night of the full moon, except that really only gives me 1-2 days max to work these rituals each month.
Is there a way to call upon the power of a full moon when it’s not full moon? I’d hate to think I’m screwed the other 27-28 days of the month. Is there a way to presence that full moon power during other times?
Since you are following the grimoire, yes you have to do it on the full moon, it’s probably a significant part of the energetic design.
BUT - if you design your own ritual that’s “inspired by” the work in the grimoire that suits your energy better, you can do that.
You have to consider the purpose of the full moon element, and replace it.
For example, if the reason for doing it on the nights of the full moon is to bring the energy of completion and fullness, then find another way to bring that energy in. Or just find another ritual.
Depends what you’re doing. There are also many rituals under “moon magick” that rely on the energies of other phases. Curses are often done on the New Moon, but that’s also good for beginnings.
But if you don’t want to use the moon, why are you trying to follow a moon-based ritual anyway?
What are you actually trying to do? maybe there’s other ways people can suggest.
Charging things under a full moon for full moon energy might be a decent idea indeed.
I’m curious what the intended goal is with these operations. Going on title of the grimoire alone sounds like manifesting something using the full moon to empower it. That would mean you charge using a ritual every mooncycle and let it run it’s course and optionally refresh the next mooncycle. There’s probably no real advantage repeating the powerup another 28 times in the meantime.
As @Mulberry says, the full moon might be a important part of the ritual or not. It’s hard to get what is the perceptive of the author and its cosmology. Using the full moon can be through symbolism, or energy or spirit modality. Some authlrs use at least one of those modalities to perform magick. If an author say “it’s symbolic” then i won’t wait for the full moon to perform full moon magick.
Most people use moon water, you can also charge water from different moon phases, you can also charge objects like candles and other things use in spell in the light of the full moon and store them for later use in spell
I also heard something about moon cords
where you take a longer thicker cord and charge it under the light of the moon phase and basically do some prayer to the Moon Goddess of the particular moon phase where you ask her to charge the cord with the power of that moon phase
and then you use the cord during a ritual for example you put it on your main hand around when you charge objects with your intentions for a spell
I don’t remember whether this was from VK’s wordpress or his patreon, but this might have some benefit:
A Spell to Presence Nocturnal & Lunar Energies
Oct 17, 2020
For those of you who need to practice rites to nocturnal and/or lunar deities during the daylight hours, there is a simple solution. Go to a dark room and recite the chant “ILTONDARA ILNASSA ILSAT” three times. This chant calls on Hecate alongside her avatars Trivia and Ereshkygal to presence nocturnal and lunar energy. In your darkened and spiritually primed space, proceed with whichever rite(s) and/or spell(s) you intended to perform.
The IL’s in those chants are pronounced like the English word “ill.” The O in ILTONDARA is pronounced like the AW in the English word “pawn.”
