Spells, Rituals, and Magical Ideas for the Full Moon
When the moon is full, magical energies are at a peak.
That’s why so many spells and rituals include “When the moon is full…” or “Under a full moon…” in their instructions.
The following spells, rituals, and magical activities are especially suited for the unique energetic dynamics at work during a full moon.
1. Call in More Money
The full flowering of the moon’s energy lends itself to magic for expanding and supercharging: this includes your wealth and finances.
That’s why the full moon is a great time to perform a money spell, say affirmations for abundance, and/or position your home’s feng shui to maximize your prosperity.
2. Draw a Romance
The full moon can be incredibly romantic.
The moon’s personality is receptive and emotional. That’s why the full moon helps us open up to romance and call it into our life experience.
Work full moon to call in a new romance or to bless an existing romance with a full moon love spell.
You could also create a love charm, say affirmations for healthy relationships, and/or make sure your home’s feng shui is attuned to the frequency of love.
3. Banish an Unwanted Condition
By virtue of being at its peak of power, the full moon is also the moment when the moon’s energy stops waxing and begins to wane.
This makes it an appropriate time to banish conditions you no longer desire: for example, challenging relationship patterns, stubborn health issues, or anything else you’re ready to bid farewell.
For a simple full moon banishing spell, write words or draw a symbol of that which you’d like to banish from your life experience on a small piece of paper. Roll the paper (away from you) to create a little scroll. Tie up the scroll tightly with twine. Put it in a jar and cover it with sea salt, filling almost the entire jar. Put a found feather on the top of the salt to symbolize the new lightness you will feel. Close the jar and feel the energy from the old condition is completely neutralized and removed from your life experience.
Keep the jar for at least 3 full moon cycles. Then flush the salt down the toilet, burn the scroll, and release the feather to the wind.

4. Empower Your Crystals
The full moon’s bright crescendo of magical power makes it an ideal time to empower your crystals and gems.
You can do this in the light of the sun on the day of a full moon, the light of the full moon itself, or both. Simply spread your crystals out on a white cloth to absorb the light and leave them there for a few minutes to an hour or more.
This will employ the full moon’s magic to cleanse them and refresh their power.
5. Heal Your Relationship with Food and Your Body
The full moon is an excellent moment to let go of old baggage around food and body image.
First, the full moon helps with this by supercharging your intention to heal.
Second, as mentioned, as the pinnacle of the moon’s power, it is naturally also the moment when that power begins to wane.
Similarly, with intention, your disempowering stories around food and your body can wane right along with it, until they disappear.
And, to heal your relationship with food, I recommend picking up this book.

6. Clear and Bless Your Home
Clearing and blessing your home in the form of a full moon ritual is a great idea.
In addition to attuning your home to magical energies and assisting you in setting positive intentions throughout the space, it helps remove negative and unwanted patterns of energy throughout the home.
7. Read the Cards
Whether you prefer oracle cards or tarot cards, a card reading under the full moon is especially powerful. If you’ve never done a reading before, check out this post for advice on how to get started.

8. Work Some Career Magic
Whether you want to manifest a new job, open a business, or bless a career path you’ve already begun, the full moon is an ideal; time for career spells and rituals.
The expansive energies at work lend themselves to magic and manifestation efforts related to upward mobility and positive expansion. (Also success-oriented feng shui.)
9. Solve a Mystery
The full moon is a time when bright light – literally – illuminates the darkness.
Use this magical condition to shed light and clarity on issues that have formerly confused or confounded you.
For example, you might perform a spell to find a lost object, learn the truth about a person’s intentions, or illuminate and activate your unique magical power.
Live your magic by aligning with the beautiful, radiant energy of the full moon.

My brother told me to never talk, to him or his kids again.. Is there anything I can do during a full moon to stop his anger torward me.
Cindy, I’m sorry this happened to you. Magic is not great for changing other people’s emotions. What you can do is protect yourself from negative energy coming your way, or work magic to establish more harmony between you (although in some cases more harmony would mean setting a boundary with someone, as overriding someone else’s free will is never something I recommend). You can use the search bar in my blog to look for practices that might help with protection and harmony.
Hi Tess,
I have done the Banish An Unwanted Condition a couple of different times for different conditions, and I really find this spell both empowering and effective – thank you so much.
BTW – I really enjoy the Magic Mondays podcast!
Teresa, it’s great to hear you appreciate the spell and podcast. Thanks for letting me know.
Hello my dear, thanks allot
I want to know after making money spell is there any sacrifices to make?
No, all you need to do is the spell itself as described.
Hi, Tess, I’m a novice in all this thing’s and I don’t know where to start.
I really need help in an effective money ritual, could you please explain it in a very clear term for me?
Hi Mercy! Sure. Check out this post and all the posts I’ve linked to underneath: https://tesswhitehurst.com/spells-and-rituals-how-to-get-started/
I used to keep my crystals in a quiet meditation spot, that hardly got any sun or moon light. Every full moon I would have to charge them. Every so often bad weather conditions would prevent this. One time I suddenly woke up and heard cries of “help us!”. I wondered who could be crying at 3:00am. So I wandered out into the living room, daughters room, kitchen, then I went outside. Low and behold the crystals were being rained on and soaked in mud and debri. I hurried outside to rescue them and proceeded to wash and clean trays and geodes of crystals and ran back oudside to search in the rain for any other washed away crystals. Poor babies, I ended up having to clean them and woke up the entire house. After that episode my husband suggested moving the crystals to safer moon bathing spot. The south side of my home opposite of the quiet meditation area, had a wall of sliding glass door. Moonlight always streamed into this spot. We have lots of plants and usually watch the sunset here. The crystals love it here!!! Their power has increased and seem so much brighter and fill the entire home with light. 🌒🙏🌕🌝
Oh, you are so tuned into the crystal kingdom! Such an interesting story. Thank you for sharing it!
