Make Your Own Magical Moon Water

The Moon, our closest celestial body, is strongly associated with the element of water. One way we can harness its powerful energy is by making moon water. Moon water is a powerful tool for energy cleansing and balance, and for strengthening spiritual connection.

The energy charging of moon water can be done at any time, but it is most ideal with the Full Moon. All you need is distilled or fresh water, a container, and a strong sense of intent.

Choosing the right container for your moon water is key. Think about what you plan to do with it: bathing, drinking, watering plants. If you are going to leave the container outside and overnight, consider a mesh or other permeable covering or lid so nothing except moonlight can get inside.

You can also include lunar affinity crystals, such as moonstone, clear quartz, or opal in the making of moon water. You can leave it in the container where it will receive an optimal amount of moonlight, then retrieve it in the morning.

Also, consider the astrological placement of the moon when making your moon water. For example, if you are setting an intention for extra insight and focus in your business or career, then a Full Moon in hardworking Capricorn is an ideal time to make some moon drinking water for the office.

As with any spiritual practice or manifesting ritual, stating your intentions clearly and firmly beforehand is vital. Remember to also extend gratitude to the Moon for her power and positive energies.

Here are just a few uses for your moon water:

Drinking. You do not need to drink it all at once – unless you wish to for a specific manifesting or healing purpose. If not, it is okay to drink just little of your moon water every day. You can also give some to your pets and garden or houseplants. Another use is to add some to a special recipe or a cup of coffee or tea.

Bathing. What better way to absorb the spiritual energies of the moon than by actually soaking in it! A hot bath is always a source of healing energy for stress or pain relief. It is not practical to create a tub full of moon water, but add a jar to your regular bath and feel the magic happen.

Cleaning. Add some moon water to your cleaning regime and cast off negative energies along with the physical dust and grime. Moon water can also be used to cleanse our hands before engaging in spiritual practice, or to rid crystals of lingering negative energies.

Shielding. Sprinkle moon water around sacred spaces to add a layer of protection and provide a barrier to harmful forces. It can also be used to spritz clothes or shoes when entering potentially harmful spaces. Try combining it with a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender, for a pleasant smell.

Moon water is easy to make and has many metaphysical attributes. It can be difficult and expensive to find crystals and stones that offer the same energy benefits, while anyone with good intentions can make moon water right in their own backyard. All you need is some water and the bright glow of the moon.

Next time the moon is full, find your favorite container and invite the power of the moon into your life.
