The overall view of lore was a nice addition to the book. The breakdown of what is needed to really harness the true power of the moon will have me returning to this book over and over again.

Really nice look at some moon topics, rituals, and spells. The illustrations that are placed in book area really nice. A really nice reference point.

I feel this book relies too much on its aesthetic, which is impressive, truth be told, but neglects the content sometimes. While there are useful tips, incantations (mostly incantations) and rituals included, along with a good introduction on the subject of Moon magic, it is a bit confusing, for example, to read about eight phases of the moon and then see the author explain only for, or divide the magical works she includes in said four phases. Good introduction, but it could have been better.

An excellent reference book, perfect of people who is new to the Craft or for whoever want a well written and interesting reference book.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

This book had a lovely feel like an old grimoire. A great reference on beginner to intermediate witchcraft. A very inspiring read!

I enjoyed this book much more than I expected I would. Moon Magic is a fine introduction to understanding and working with the Moon. It exposes readers to many different approaches to connecting with moon energy and provides a plethora of spell, rituals, and meditations to practice or use as inspiration for crafting your own.

I appreciate that time was taken to discuss the Moon and moon magick across multiple cultures and time periods and that the necessary warnings were given regarding misuse of essential oils and toxic herbs.

I am choosing to take a star off for some parts where I felt more research or explanation could have been given (especially in the section on moon goddesses) but it wasn't anything crazy.

Moon Magic had a nice layout, which made it easy to find whatever you're looking for. It's great for beginners of moon magic or someone who would love to have a reference book.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is a beautifully put together book of information about the different stages of the moon, different cultures/historical beliefs and rituals of the moon, and spells. This book also covers star signs and the best essential oils to use and when to use them, as well as covering information about crystals to use during certain moon cycles.
I really enjoyed this book and am going to get a paper copy at some point too.

I'll definitely be buying this book. In addition to being absolutely stunning visually, the content of this book is great for introductory moon magic. I love books that cover a wide range of topics. It's very much worth the money and a book I'm glad to support.

I had technical difficulties with the ARC I received - formatting was all off. From what I could see though, this one isn’t for me.

This book was fabulous. I learned so much and confirmed so many thoughts I had before reading it. It’s one of those books that you keep going back to and every time you find something new. This is a book I will peruse for years to come. The only issue is it was very hard to download. It’s a ACSM file and it needs to be a mobi or ePub. I had to read it via my PC. I’d love a copy on my iPad or kindle app.

This is a really interesting book for understanding the power of the moon and how her different cycles affect us. It includes rituals for harnessing the power of the moon and incudes the use of herbs, spells and other mystical methods. It will increase your awareness of this powerful astronomical body. The book is fascinating and easy to read, and it will leave you with an in depth understanding and a new found respect for this familiar body. There are rituals for all the different cycles and you will find yourself identifying the different stages as it passes from one to another. Overall a very interesting book.

This book was perfect for beginners of moon magic or just someone looking for a good reference book. It covers the different phases of the moon and its meanings, different moon goddesses, herbs for the moon phases, moon meditation, crystals to use with moon phases, essential oils and candles, astrology, and tarot. As well as a great listing of rituals and spells for the different phases of the moon. This book was extremely well written and easy to understand. I plan on buying it when it comes out.

Also the artwork and headers was beautiful and really fit perfectly with the topics.

Description
Harness the power of the magical, mystical, glorious Moon with more than 100 spells, chants, and rituals, along with Esbat celebrations for the Full Moon. Moon Magic is the third book in the best-selling Magic series, following Witchraft and Love Magic. The Moon is one of our most prominent and ancient symbols. It has shaped how we understand and track time, its movement controls the tides, and its rise into the sky signals the coming of night. All of these roles have cemented our relationship with the Moon and its important place in our myths and culture. The distinct phases of the lunar cycle have associations with different states of being. These states mirror a kind of spiritual quest which, like our search for ourselves, never ends. When we observe the Moon, we see reflections of the grand pattern of life that is birth, death, and rebirth. With this invaluable handbook, follow the Moon as she traverses each sign of the zodiac and discover how each astrological phase affects magic—and how your personal Moon sign affects your magical work. The discussions include the influence of the seldom-discussed energies of the True-Blue Moon, the Black Moon, the Void of Course Moon, and the lunar eclipse. You will learn how to properly conduct spells using candles and gemstones at exactly the right lunar moment to enhance the flow of power. Each Moon phase is explored individually to cover the phase's main themes along with moon rituals, intention setting, and practical ways to celebrate and manifest health, wealth, and confidence. You'll also find herb and crystal lists as they relate to each moon phase and information on traditional lunar herbs, including lavender, jasmine, willow, moonwort, mug wort, pumpkin, and sandalwood.

MY REVIEW:
I have to start by saying thank you for this ARC as it is definitely a magical book. It is very well written and easy to follow whether you are a novice or an expert. The author takes you on a magical trip through crystals, herbs and spell casting. Learned a lot from this book and am so happy I read it. My only negative comment is that I wish it was readable through Kindle. Definitely going to buy the hard copy once it's available!!

I highly recommend this book!!! Buy it, you will not be disappointed.

I’ve always had an affinity to the moon.

When tears would course down my eyes and trail tracks down my cheeks I would wish not upon the stars but pray to that crescent sliver or that glowing orb.
When my maternal grandmother died years ago that night I sought comfort and in the dark I felt her embrace in the sky. The streetlights flickered and went out but the glow from above lit my way back home.

Yes, the moon harnesses plenty of power.


There’s magick in its grip and within holds thousands , no millions of secrets.
I guess you would call me a fledgling witch. I dabble in beginners witchcraft from time to time and have for a few years. I don’t pretend to be more experienced than I am because I simply am not. I do this for me and my peace of mind.



To me magick is akin to self love and positive affirmations. It’s a push to help you along the way.

With this book we learn about the moon phases and how they can affect the power we harness and what we can do during these certain phases.

For example during the new moon this is a time to set intentions.

As an affirmation you will light a pink candle and and say: I welcome new opportunities and experience.

I’ve also always wondered about the various names for the moons during the different months. Like for example WHAT THE HELL IS A BEAVER MOON??? WELL HERE:


Many cultures idolizle the moon and many Goddesses are associated with her power. Luna, Selene, Artemis, Ixchel, Kuan Yin, Isis…

There’s also my favorite…SPELL WORK INVOLVING HERBS.

You guys, I love herbs. I love learning about the different uses and what they can do for us. This summer I actually did a full moon spell with my best friend.

I adored this book. I love having books like this not so much to guide me but to be a blueprint as a sort.

Magick is everywhere. This is just but a taste of it, it’s literally floating above us. We can draw on our affirmations from inside of ourselves. I think for me magick shows us that we are not alone and we have never been alone.

Anything is possible and the impossible is extraordinary.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this copy of my ARC.

This handbook covers everything you need to know about the Moon. Its phases, energies, correspondences to herbs, crystals, and oils, Moon goddesses, and its synergy with Astrology and the Tarot were all included. The last section of the book had many different rituals to perform during different Moon phases which was pretty cool considering many other books tend to only focus on New or Full Moons. I’d like to give a mention to the section on the Full Moons of every month in the year. This section discussed its historical names and significance but it’s the little blurb about the modern magical significance that I really liked and have not seen before. It’s something I will definitely work with.

I’ve read most of the books published about the Moon in recent years, so while I could compare this handbook to them, it wouldn’t be fair because this is specifically meant to be a concise guide to harnessing lunar energies and isn’t supposed to be a deeper metaphysical textbook about la luna. For that reason, I would highly recommend this book for those who don’t know anything about the Moon because more knowledgeable people would find this book a bit basic and superficial.

I’d also like to add the cover is very mystical looking which caught my eye. I also liked the overall look of the book, specifically the way the pages were made to look like parchment, and I thought the graphics were grimoire inspired and pretty.

Overall a pretty decent book about the Moon.

For those new or old to the craft Moon Magic has something for everyone. It does well giving you information about the moon with its rituals, tales, and more! It gives you everything you need to wield magic during the moon.

For those fascinated with the moon, Moon Magic is a must-read! From earth science to mythology to simple rituals, this book really does have it all.
