The powerful and influential cleansing energies of the moon can be harnessed and preserved by making moon water.
Moon water is water that has been charged by the energies of the moon. Preferably, the moon water is collected during a full moon, supermoon, or new moon where the energy is heightened and most effective.
Moon water can be used for rituals, spell work, brewing magical potions and elixirs, healing, cleansing, manifestation, and much more. Moon water may be used for anything you are directed to use water for, even in your coffee, tea, or bath water!
To make moon water, you’ll first want to start with a clean container, glass, or jar. I use glass mason jars because I find the seal and lid come in handy, however any container or glass will work for making moon water. If your glass or container does not have a lid, you can always use plastic wrap as a cover for your glass if needed.
Once you have your glass, the next step is to add clean water to your glass. Make sure you use purified, spring or distilled water if you are going to ingest your moon water. I use the filtered tap water from my home as my go to when I am making moon water.
Now that your glass is full of water, you will want to place it under the moonlight to charge and absorb the energies from the moon. This could be leaving your glass of water outside, on a porch, by a window sill, in your car, outside in your yard, or even in the woods. Anywhere that your jar can access the moonlight will work perfectly.
You will want to leave your glass of water charging under the moon overnight. This will allow the water to be fully cleansed and charged by the moon’s energies. Once the jar has sat under the moonlight overnight, voilà.. you now have some powerful moon water!
