How does the moon relate to Wiccan ceremonies?
Whatever type of magick utilized, the ritual is performed according to the different phases of the moon. During the time that the moon is waxing (growing larger) positive spells for increase, beginning a new job, good luck and fertility are performed. During the time that the moon is waning (growing smaller) negative spells such as for decrease, ending a job or breaking a bad habit are performed. Wiccans celebrate both the new and full moons. So there are 13 of each, approx. every 2 weeks, plus the 8 Sabbats.
