Drawing Down The Moon In Wicca

Drawing Down The Moon is a core Wiccan spiritual practice. By drawing down the light of the Moon, you fill yourself with Divine Light, or the Essence of the Goddess.

In Gardnerian Wicca, this is done only by the High Priestess before a ritual. She thus becomes the Goddess on Earth.

But this is too great a spiritual practice to be so limited. And nowadays, when all of us are becoming the Divine on Earth - and are needed to - everyone can do this practice.

Not just before ritual, but anytime. Every time I see the Moon, I invoke Her light, even if only with a thought and a breath.

In Wicca Spirituality, every woman (and man) can invoke the Goddess Within.

Benefits of Drawing Down The Moon As An Ongoing Practice

• Healing from illness or injury

• Letting go of fear

• Releasing pessimism or doubt

• Relieving depression

• Overcoming spiritual apathy or resistance

• Transforming any negative state - mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual.

• Uplifting unpleasant moods

• Improving health

• Boosting your energy

• Increasing self-esteem

• Elevating happiness

Drawing Down The Moon - The Details

Unless you want the specific Energy of a Moon phase to fill you, be clear with your intention to draw in the Eternal Divine Light only.

In other words, the Waning Moon is a time of letting go, cleansing, and releasing. If you are wanting to invoke this energy, be aware of that as you draw down the Waning Moon.

But if you want to invoke the pure Divine Light, set that as your intention. It's easiest to do this with a Full Moon, but with a clear intention you can invoke pure Divine Essence at any phase of the Moon.

The Divine Light Invocation is another incredible way to draw Light into yourself, and can be done at any time of day or month.

Below is the method for Drawing Down The Moon that I like best. Please, like all spells and rituals, adapt it to your own needs and inspirations.

Ritual of Drawing Down The Moon

Clap your hands once above your head, to clear the space and focus your concentration.

Then feel or visualise the Moon's Light streaming into your Chalice bowl until it is brimming with brilliant pure-white Light.

Slowly lower your arms, allowing the Light to pour into your body and energy field, flowing through your entire being - body, mind, and spirit. Experience this with every sense that you can employ, especially visuals and sensory feelings.

Do this 3 times, or as often as you like.

After, you may kiss your hands in Her honour, if you like. Or Namaste to the Moon. Or in some way demonstrate thanks and honouring.

With Bright Blessings,
