Hexes And The Moon Phases

Please note that posts on this site may contain affiliate links

The moon phases should dictate what kind of magic you’re doing as a witch. Why? Because the moon phases each have their own correspondences. So if you’re looking to do hexes or curses, how will the moon phases change your spells?

Curses done during a waning crescent moon should focus on removing things from people. Black magic done at the time of a new moon should begin new negative experiences in a person’s life. And hexes performed during the waxing moon should intensify negativity in someone’s life.
