Supermoons can provide an excellent source of energy for lunar witchery. Read on for what you need to know about supermoons and moon magick.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am in love with the moon. I talk to her, send her my fears, tell her about my victories. She is as dear to me as any life-long companion should be. Perhaps this is why I can get irritated when I perceive that others are trivializing or vandalizing my beloved companion. There\u2019s a lot written about supermoons. In the article below I talk about them in general and offer tips for harnessing the power of my beloved moon.<\/p>\n

The Difference Between Lunar Magic and Magick<\/h1>\n

Lunar magick is as real as the moon\u2019s control of the tides, but needs to be controlled and directed for effective witchcraft. Here\u2019s where I am going to draw the distinction between magic and magick since it is very applicable to the supermoon situation. Let\u2019s talk about magic, which I define as the general energy that exists in all things, as the place where wishes reside. I have absolutely nothing against wishes, but when I cast a spell I want results. Wishes depend on all manner of natural coincidences for them to manifest, and the general will of the universe bending in our favor. I thoroughly enjoy making moon-wishes.<\/p>\n

Magick on the other hand requires an intention that can be supported by correspondences, spirits, and other forces to bring about a desired outcome. These are very different activities.<\/p>\n

Standing under a supermoon awaiting for that angelic portal to open up while thinking of your heart\u2019s desire is magic<\/em>. Drawing down that moon into a spell and then releasing it is magick<\/em>.<\/p>\n
