I purchased a Seal of Marbas jewelry and want to transform it into an object that makes Marbas able to heal me through that link. Is it unwise to clean and charge the Seal here in waning moon?

No, it all depends on your intentions. If you think that the waning moon period can affect it then perform it during the Waxing moon period which is good for healing.
Usually for me I do pillar rites to charge my talismans and infuse them with the required energies. Usually pillar rites are done for several days up to a month at a time to properly infuse items with the required energies.

I normally say no on this kind of thing, while others find benefit in observing the moon phases and astrological correspondences.
But since you asked, that implies you thought about it, and you thought about it for a reason. If that reason was your intuition nudging you that for this working it matters, then it probably matters, and if it were me Iād go ahead and roll with that.
The only thing I relate to is that waning moon is for banishing and waxing is for attraction. Therefore amulets are made on waning moon and talisman are made on waxing moon. Iām not sure how it applies to demons and their powers.
Well it depends if youāre following a specific tradition, in which case you probably want to stay within itās school of thought.
Therefore amulets are made on waning moon and talisman are made on waxing moon.
Um, donāt see why? Where did this even come from?
Amulets and talismans are both used as exactly the same thing, with different word origins.
Amulet is 15th century Latin and means āthing worn superstitiously as a charm against spells, diseaseā
Talisman comes from 1630s French and means āmagical figure cut or engraved under certain observancesā
This is to do with energy. The waning moon is reducing in luminosity, ie, energy it reflects, over time. Reduction is associated with yin, and banishing could be associated with yinā¦
The waxing moon is increasing in output, which could be called yang (compared to the activity of reduction), and attraction I guess could be called yang? ā¦ if you like, so that would link those.
Personally, I would call attracting yin, associating it with receiving and the feminine, and banishing yang, associating it with force, pushing, hostility, action and the masculine. So I would reverse the associations.
Having said that, I make a talisman, charm bag or poppet any time I feel like it.
Thing is, humans can rationalise anything to fit what they want.
Magick is highly personal and psychological, thereās no right or wrong in this type of thing - there is only however you manage to get the mental and emotional gymnastics to work to convince your subconscious to do itās thing.

My point is that I donāt know what is most effective. Maybe of course the moon phases have no effect on Marbasāa power to heal at all.
You do though, I just told you. Itās the one you personally believe works the most.
You are the operator, youāre the magick one, the creator being making all this work. Not the moon, or whether itās a Tuesday, you.
Stand in your power and just do it.
If you want, test it, experiment - do it twice, today and next week, waxing AND waning, compare the feelings and the results, and build up your confidence in any given timing based on your own experience.
Thereās no point relying on other peopleās ātruthā, it may not apply to your unique energy systems. Put in the work and find out what does it for you. Itās not like you have only one chance at this. Donāt be afraid to have to fall flat, itās all good experience.

For demonic workings the full moon is best
The full moon is said to be good at any magick. Itās just to long for me to wait.
