The Waning moon is sometimes called an old moon,  is decreasing in size, moving from the Full moon towards the New moon. Now the moon has moved nearly entirely around in its orbit of Earth, and is measured from one new moon to the next. Because the moon is nearly on a line with the Sun and  Earth again, the day hemisphere of the moon is facing mostly away from us once more. We see only a slender fraction of the moon’s day side, this is how it gets it name of a crescent moon.

This is a time for spells that banish, release, reverse. This is a good time to break bad addictions or bad habits ( that could be holding you back from from losing weight), and ending bad relationships, or any relationship you have outgrown or has negativity energy or emotions attached to it.

You can use this time to rid oneself of negativity or illness and the removal of troubles and worries. If you think someone has put a negative block or curse on you this is the best time to remove it.  This is a great time to use this moon phase and its energy  to deepen intuition and a time for divination.

The Waning moon is a time to rid oneself of everything that is causing obstruction, to get rid of anything or anyone you know longer need. Good time for dying  hair or getting hair cuts to slow growth,  or to defuzz your face and pluck your eyebrows. 

Time for self-analysis, rest an recuperation, meditation and readying oneself for the energies of the New Moon.

At this time the moon represents the Goddess in her Crone Aspect, give praise to Hecate, Morrigan or one of the other Crone Goddesses. 

So let’s recap..

The warning moon is a great time too..

1.. Dissolve negative energies

2.. Banishing

3.. Hex breaks

4.. Binding and repelling

5.. Protection

6.. Destroying negative  forces

7.. Cleasning, clearing and Removing.

Write yourself a letter of anything or anyone you want to cut cords from, call upon your higher self , your angels, your deities and ask for help clearing all blocks, negative energy or anything you may feel like you have outgrown. Sit under the moon and burn your letter to the night skies, or if you don’t have the ability to burn hold the intention of releasing, anything set with intention and emotion behind it is very powerful! 
Rest, recharge and regroup your energy and thoughts for the New moon that approaches us… For its nearly time for manifesting and wishing X
