Making MoonWater

 

What is moonwater?

Moonwater is an extremely useful magickal substance, often used in potion making and spellwork. For a Wiccan or lunar Goddess-worshipper, moonwater is the equivalent of holy water or blessed water.
Moonwater is simply ordinary water that has been left to cleanse and charge under the light of the full moon for a night. It is blessed by the Goddess’ light in this time, and becomes “charged” with Her energies and power. It’s often used as a sacrament prior to spellwork or ritual work.

Why make it?

Because moonwater is an essential component of a great many spells and rituals. Drinking it is also a form of simple but effective healing and purification potion, and will drive negative influences from your body. It’s also an important element in connecting with the Goddess, and it helps us humans feel Her energies within us and connect to Her more deeply than normal when we drink of it.

How do I make it?

Really easily actually! Just after sunset, simply leave a bottle, jar, glass or bowl of boiled water (boiled to sterilise it to prevent bacteria) in a position where it can get maximum moonlight all night. Bless the water to the Goddess, and call upon Her power to infuse the water. Then, leave it be overnight!
It is vitally important however that you get the water out of direct sunlight before sunrise! Moonwater should NEVER touch sunlight, and if it does some of its powers seem to “break”.
If you want to do so, add a few fresh herbs to the water as you infuse moonlight into it. Sage is a favourite, and so is peppermint or citrus. Personally, I like to simply add a pinch of salt and a sprig of mint, which is a very feminine herb to me and amplifies the Sacred Feminine energies of the moon.
Keep your moonwater sealed away until you need it, out of direct sunlight and perhaps refrigerated (especially if you added herbs). I always wrap a black cloth around mine, to protect it further against the light.
