Human’s appreciation for the moon is certainly nothing new, but the exact origins of moon water are unclear. From what we can tell, the practice of making moon water has origins in witchcraft and has been around since at least the 1800s. If you’re at all into the moon or simply want to amplify your next ritual, moon water is a great addition. And according to Imani Quinn and Ellen Bowles, co-founders of The Woke Mystix, moon water can technically be made during any moon phase. It’s just considered most potent during the full moon. There is one time you don’t want to make moon water, though, and that’s during a lunar eclipse. Eclipses are dark and can reveal our shadows, making them a time to release, not harness. You can opt to leave your jar uncovered if you wish, but using a lid or cover will keep the water clean. (The moon can still reach it!) “For example, if you have intentions around love, choose a Taurus or Libra full moon to give your manifestation an extra boost.”
