Dark Moon Magic Tarot or Oracle Spread

The dark moon is that potent powerful time just before the new moon pops in with it's slither of light.

Many people start working with the new moon when it's technically still the dark moon, but like I always say, go with what works for you and your own magic.

I personally like to honour the darkness before the light returns.

I use this time to go inward, to pop into the depths of my soul and see what's occurring before moving into the magic of manifesting and co-creation with my bezzie the new moon!

You can use this spread with tarot, oracle or whatever cards you have lying around. You can use it as part of your dark moon ritual or anytime that you are trying to navigate through the darkness.

1. Message from the subconscious

This card will help you tap into what it is that has not yet fully come to the surface but would like your attention at this time.

2. What lessons are integrating

The dark moon is a nice time to just let all you've learned over the last moon cycle sink in, here you'll get some info about what those lessons are.

3. How to find peace in the darkness

Sometimes the darkness can be a little challenging to navigate. This card will give you some insight into how you can find some peace and relax into this part of the moon cycle.

4. What the dark moon is incubating

It may look like not a lot is happening during the dark moon but there is always something happening under the surface.

5. Your guide through the dark moon

This card will show you who/what is guiding you through this moon phase and into the next.

Full Moon Magic Spread for Tarot + Oracle x

I made a full moon releasing spread aaaages ago and I thought it could be time to make a new one! :D

The spread is ideally used in conjunction with the powerful energy of the full moon! But, you know, you can really do it anytime, especially if you're wanting to clear, release and set intentions.

You can use any deck of your choosing - Tarot, Oracle, Angel or NewAgeHipster InstaOracle :P

Pour yourself a magical tea brew and let's get started...

Here's one I made earlier with the Robin Wood Tarot x

CARD ONE: Where are you at this full moon?

This card will show you where you're at, what you most need to know about your present energy and/or situation.

I got Page of Swords reversed. This feels like it's about a resistance to clearing and moving through some gunky energy that's been holding me in place.

CARD TWO: What needs to be seen and known tonight?

This card is all about what you need to see and know, what are you ignoring? What are you unaware of that you need to bring to the surface? Sometimes this is intentionally an ignoring or pushing down of things we don't want to look at, other times it could be something we are not aware of, but need to be.

I got Ten of Cups, a kick in the pants to stay in gratitude!

CARD THREE: What needs to be released?

What are you being called on to clear and release this full moon? It could be something recent, or something from your past or even past lives!

I got Six of Cups reversed. Time to take off those rose coloured glasses of the past and send them into the light!

CARD FOUR: What energy do you need to call in?

This could be about calling in a particular energy to work with such as a deity or guide, or it may be about calling in a particular trait or mindset.

I got the Six of Pentacles. Abundance mindset coming in!

CARD FIVE: What intentions need to be set?

This card can help you to set a clear and aligned intention for this moon cycle. Feel free to pull more cards here to get extra clear too!

I got the Hermit reversed and for me this is about finding balance within and in my life.

CARD SIX: What magic will be made?

Oooh, so this is where we can check in with potential outcomes of the magic we will make this full moon. You can also choose this card face up from your deck if you'd like to add a touch of extra magic to this reading!

I got the Knight of Wands reversed. The magic I will make is all about getting back on the horse and moving forward again with my goals and dreams!

Let me know how this spread works for you! :D And please do tag me in your pics if you share them on Instagram!

With so much love, light and magic,

New Moon Magic - 33 ways to work with the energy of the new moon

New moon energy is powerful shiz!

I like working with the Full Moon for releasing, exploring my stuff, doing some deep work and big magic. On the New Moon though, I’m more about taking stock, setting goals and putting it out there.

Everyone works with moon energy differently, so it's really important for you to find what works best for you.

I'm just sharing with you here some of the stuff that works for me. 

Personally, I always wait until after the New Moon has hit before I start using it’s magic (although I start to think about my intentions earlier!), as I feel that it’s much more powerful.

I go with the three days after rule that says you can work with the new moon energy for up to three days after the moon is new. 

So if I miss the new moon, I don’t freak out, I just do my new moon-y stuff the next day. :D But you can work with the New Moon however it feels best to you.

There's no reason at all why you can't use this list anytime you're wanting to call something in.

If you want to come and partake in some New Moon Magic with other peeps, head over to the Spiritual Journey Pitstop on Facebook where every new and full moon we get together and give each other’s magic a mega boost of love and light!

OK, let’s get into this listicle!
