Maybe it's just me, but I swear I'm always so exhausted on a full moon, so I usually do no magic and just go to bed early that night, but on new moons I feel a lot more energy to clean, reset, set intentions for the next moon cycle 🌑
Were you born during the day or the night? This will have a lot of bearing on why you feel this way. But it also depends on whether the sun or the moon is your predominator planet. For example, if you're one of those people who do not connect very much with your sun sign, then chances are you'll connect more with your moon sign. However, if neither the sun or the moon is your predominator, then again chances are you'll connect more with your ascending sign. P.S. The sun sign of a person is not what rules over a person's life. This is a common misconception and a misunderstanding propagated by modern astrology. The sun sign is just a person's psychology and nothing more than that. This is why when you read a sun sign horoscope it's usually a hit or a miss depending on where the eastern horizon was on any particular day. The moon is a person's soul, which the same is true considering the horizon and moon sign horoscopes. And the ascending is a person's personality, and is again depending on the horizon for the day. All horoscopes are dependent on the ascending sign of the day which comes from classical astrology and not modern astrology. Modern astrology is more concerned about your psychology whereas classical astrology is more concerned about who you are as a person and predicting your life. And this is why in classical astrology the ascending sign is number one, not the sun, and then comes the moon, mercury, venus, and then finally the sun in your chart. But your predominator planet points to your Ruling Planet which also happens to be your Master Planet and the Master Planet points to your Co-Master Planet. The Master Planet and the Co-Master Planet are the Masters of your nativity and they rule completely and entirely over your natal chart which means they rule completely and entirely over your life. They quite literally dictate what everything else in your chart means. Think of them as the Pilot and Co-Pilot of your life. Classical Astrology List of Importance From Greatest to Least: 1. Ascending Sign (i.e. this is who you are and how you portray yourself to everyone around you) 2. Moon Sign (i.e. this is your soul, the kind of energy you have, and the kind of emotions you have) 3. Mercury Sign (i.e. this is how you communicate, how you plan and why you travel, and what kind of luck you'll have) 4. Venus Sign (i.e. the kind of family and friends and relationships you'll have both good, bad, and in between) 5. Sun Sign (i.e. this is your psychology, the kind of imagination you have, and the kind of spirituality you have) 6. Mars Sign (i.e. it is how and why you start projects and what drives you, where and when you get angry, but is also your passion and sex) 7. Jupiter Sign (i.e. how you grow, explore, and learn, but also what kind of career you'll have and what your finances will be like) 8. Saturn Sign (i.e. the boundaries, limitations, and restrictions you'll face in your life, but also the kind of karma you'll have) As an example the First House of your chart is always your Ascending Sign in classical astrology, and across from that, is the Seventh House your Descending Sign which is your personal House of Love and Enemies. The person with the same Ascending Sign as your Descending Sign in your House of Love (i.e. your Seventh House) is the person/people you're most likely attracted to the most for love, for example. But also the same kind of people you'll most likely clash with if their chart doesn't fit well with yours. It's to be expected to clash with a lot of these people because it's also your House of Enemies, but don't completely write all of them off, because somewhere in the sea of them is your one true love.
@@wanderinghedge I was born around 5am, so I guess right at the crack of dawn! I believe it was a full moon that day as well. I've always connected pretty strongly with my sun sign (Pisces) but once I learned about the rest of my chart and what everything represented, it also made sense! That is so true about horoscopes, it definitely feels hit or miss most of the time.
@@laurenmichele6806 If you're a Pisces, then chances are at the time of your birth being 5am, the sun had not yet risen. However, this makes a lot of sense, because your sun is in an angular house and it's the one that is furthest to the east in your chart most likely. You naturally follow the rhythms of the moon. But you also connect heavily with your Sun Sign, Pisces. What I said above doesn't always apply, because some people are known to connect with the opposite of their predominator, more so then the other. It depends a lot on the rest of your chart as you probably would already know. But the fact you were born before the sun had risen explains a lot because that means you have a night time chart and you feel the pull of the moon more than the sun and that's why you're more drawn to the dark moon. I understand completely because I'm a night time chart as well, born at 12:04 in the morning, Libra Ascending, Virgo Waning Gibbous Moon, and Capricorn Sun in the 2nd decan. My Master Planet is Saturn because my sun is in an angular house for my chart, and my Saturn is in Sagittarius in the 3rd decan and 5th Egyptian term, which means Mars is my Co-Master. My moon is in a declination house and therefore gives up the right to be my predominator planet even though I have a night time chart. I too connect quite heavily with my Sun Sign though I'm drawn to be a night owl and my life revolves around the cycles of the moon rather than the cycles of the sun. However, you being born at 5am, means that your Ascending Sign is also Pisces if your Sun Sign is Pisces. Classical astrology uses whole signs rather than equal signs or quadrant signs or something else. Therefore, it also doesn't have any cusps, and instead relies upon the decan system. Each sign has three decans, each representing 10 degrees throughout a sign, in a total of 30 degrees as per usual. In classical astrology, you're also ruled by the planet Jupiter, rather than Neptune in modern astrology. And I'm intuitively assuming you're probably somewhere in the 2nd decan of Pisces. This makes the Moon your "cusp" so to speak for some modern terminology and for you to have a better idea of what the moon is doing. And if you're not in the 2nd decan of Pisces, then you're more then likely in the 3rd decan of Pisces, which places you to have a "cusp" of the planet Mars. In classical astrology, Jupiter is the docimile planet in the 1st decan of Pisces, the 2nd decan is ruled first by Jupiter and then the Moon, and the 3rd decan is ruled first by Jupiter and then Mars. The Master of your nativity, regardless of anything else is Jupiter, because your sun is in the first angular house of your chart. Find where Jupiter is in your chart, then find the Egyptian Term it's in, and there in the Egyptian Term you will know what planet is your Co-Master Planet. But, you're probably quite the explorative type of person, that loves to know the secrets and the wonder of the world. Across from your Ascending Sign, is your House of Love, but it's also your House of Enemies. Yes, it's Gemini. You probably often times feel pulled in many directions by them which makes it hard for you to decide on whether you like them or not. Tricky, tricky, Gemini, they often times judge you upon meeting you as they do with most people, and most of them you find act as if they're your best friend to your face even though they don't like you from the moment they meet you. Don't worry, they didn't like you from the start so there's not much to like about them either, but there are some out there that are probably quite fond of you.
@@wanderinghedge Ahh, that makes a lot of sense! And thank you for sharing so much insight about this, I really appreciate it. I know just enough about astrology to have a basic understanding of my chart, but it's always great to hear from folks who are really knowledgeable on the subject :) It's interesting you said that my Ascending Sign is also Pisces, because any birth chart I've ever generated has always put my Ascendant in Aquarius, but I wonder if that placement depends on the "type" of astrology, so to speak? (You mentioned classical astrology which I know very little about)
@@laurenmichele6806 P.S. Even just 70 to 100 years ago, when someone asked what your sign was, you would have given your Ascending Sign rather than your Sun Sign. After that you would have given your Moon Sign. And the reason for that is because of how important the Ascending Sign is in astrology. It quite literally is who you are and how you portray yourself to others.
This is how I’ve always celebrated the new moon! With setting intentions and letting go, that is. Thank you for this video! This is a pretty large part of my practice that weirdly, no one else I’m following seems to share much of their experiences on? It was nice to see it! I’m super elemental so I usually incorporate a small activity for each element into my day on the full and new moons- nothing big, it might be something as small as changing my yoga routine (earth) or journaling (water). I like to use them for small self-care days.
I always remember it by "Wax on & wan off". lol I am typically very tired during the Full Moon. So I spend those usually taking a nice herbal bath for cleansing/healing/whatever I need at the time. I'll sip on some tea & pray the rosary. Sometimes I'll pray with a specific intention. But mostly I pray it as an offering to Mother Mary for answered prayers or to just simply venerate her. I keep it low key and simple. Sometimes I nap and nothing else. lmao New Moons I typically have a lot of energy & will clean, cleanse, set intentions, manifest & do spell work/Novenas. Thanks for posting this video. I love learning how other folk witches practice during the different phases of the Moon. :)
I love your take on the lunar cycle. I am new-ish in my practicing and the usual takes on the moon always felt off to me. I much prefer looking and the Waxing cycle as a place to grow things and the Waning cycle as a place to diminish. I really like the full moon for protection work, almost using it as the balance between bringing in the good and pushing out the bad. And I LOVE using the banishing moon for stuff like getting rid of anxiety and things I'm holding onto that I shouldn't be.
This may be a practice/ideology done by lots of low spoon witches already, but for those who may not know: the new moon and full moon can be observed for three days. The day before it's peak, the day the moon peaks at full visibility/full darkness, and the day after. You won't loose the power of these positions/phases by doing a spell the day before or after the moon's peak, and that way, you can plan a bit better around your energy/pain management/schedule etc. I hope this helps someone like it helped me when I first learned of this practice of observing the moon.
I really want to thank you for helping me grow on in my craft. As a fellow eclectic witch (I don't go by pagan because I believe labels religious wise is weird because I am more spiritual than religious) you speak out to me and my neuro divergent self and help me so much. I am hoping your well and blessings to you and your loved ones!
I've always tried to keep my haircuts/trims a few days after the new moon to make it grow faster. The pandemic has been a huge disruption in that, but I found it to get length faster personally. Happy Autumn! 🍁🌻🍂
I've been a witch sense the early 90's, I never bothered with making sure I did things on the right lunar or planetary cycle. I just did witchcraft when I needed it. reactionary magick if you will. Now that I am older I want to enrich my practice. so I am now trying to find daily stuff to add and to put more thought and planning into my magick. for example what you said about focusing on what you want to draw in for the next cycle. thank you for this video, it gave me things to contemplate. which was really needed. 💖
The moon has kinda been a reminder of my body going thru it’s own hormone cycles and how to do self care for each “season” or phase. :) it’s cool how nature can be such a helpful teacher 😊 thank you for sharing your thoughts on new moon work
It's interesting how people can look at the lunar cycles differently. For me, the new moon is a beginning - holding all possibilities. I am personally much more aligned with the dark moon/ eclipses in my practices and much less to the full moon. I think those aspects have a lot to do with the majority of my work being in transformational magic. I agree with working through a cycle instead of just one day. I think it goes deeper when you do. Really good video and ideas!
I always do my stuff on the new moon and rest on the full moon. It also makes sense to manifest on the new moon and watch it grow during the moon cycle
For me, I tend to work with the waxing half and the waning half of the lunar cycle. I have found that expecting me to do something specific on one day just isn’t realistic, like, energy-wise, and just life-wise. I don’t always feel like I have to use the lunar cycle, but when I’m doing a long-term working I prefer it (at least right now).
Working with moon phrases is new to me but makes sense since I have been more and more aware of my emotional cycles coinciding with them, I've been a bit lazy with developing a practice and instead been focused on shadow work and learning all the things I was forbidden from learning growing up. I appreciate your insights and willingness to share them, it helps immensely with my own self acceptance and inspiration about what to explore next. 🦄
I love your videos! Can you do a new video on personal protection please? Also, I'm also a disabled witch and I would love a video about how that intersects with your practice. I'm sorry if that wording didn't make much sense 😅
tbh i agree with the thing about eclipses being powerful! for me, it's because of the gravitational lensing that can be demonstrated, magnifying not just light, but also energy!!!
Can you do a video on working with ancestors regularly and/or during Samhain? I’ve been trying to honor the sabbats this year more and need some ideas haha
@@ChaoticWitchAunt this is a really specific thing, but will the video have a part about contacting specific ancestors without attracting the attention of all of them? (Dysfunctional family on both sides means I really only want to connect to either my maternal grandfather, or old old ancestors before we came to America)
I strive to be stable enough to support you!!! I personally can't afford your patreon, so I will continue to wish Helios blessings on a bean of immaculate proportions 🌘
I separate the lunar phases a bit differently. The dark moon (when you can't see the moon at all) is banishing, protective, divininatory, etc. The day after, when you can see just a sliver of the moon sometimes up to 3 days after the dark moon is the new moon for me. And I do absolutely begin things on the new moon. I am planting the last little herbs in my garden for the year tomorrow (its still hot in northern California *sob*).
Hi I am italian and I always thought you wanted to say something in latin towards the end haha Siate benedetti is more appropriate to the modern language and if you wanted to add something else you could say “che siate benedetti” as praying for a direct blessing of the persona. (I dont know if I explained well lol) anyways love your videos and byeee
Ahhhhh thank you so much!!!!! I wish someone corrected me sooner 😭 Sabbenedica seems to be dialect and possibly influenced by Italian American culture!!! But I will be using the more appropriate term! Thank you for the comment ❤️
What you call the New moon is the dark of the moon and the new moon is when you see a sliver of the moon (thus new)... I do enjoy your videos.... I always learn something new when I watch them
I agree I always start on the new moon and charge things in that time and do the complete working on the full moon, also I am often tired on the full moon
Thank you for such a wonderful video. I always feel so drained on a full moon and I use that time to rest and rejuvenate and I always feel inspired and motivated on the new moon so I use that time to cleanse and set intentions.
I haven't really witched in years due to some serious issues, however, when I do witch through moon cycles, I tend to work to grow into bursts. For me, the new moon begins. I begin things on the new moon, to let them burst into fullness on their own at the full moon. The full is a bit of a break, and then the next day begins my ending cycle. Anything that needs to be compressed, slid off, banished, or broken through. Unless I'm working something intensely, I let the spells run their own course, and simply monitor the results. ^_^
Love the video and just in time to work on the new moon. Is there any chance you could touch on blessings, it may not be enough for a video but just knowing a few methods of how to actually do it. Very grateful for the video!!
Amazing! I love novenas and prayers to saints. I would like to see the way you use that in spells. Can you create a video about this pls? I grow up in a Christian family. When I was a kid I lit candles to saint Expedite and he always attended my prayers.
Thank you for this video. I'm going to start setting new moon attention. I was ignoring the cycles for a while. I know its bad. I'll start a novena too.😁
Girl friend I am thinking the SAME on the blockages an 💰 flow!! Lol Spooky season is LIFE rite now lol!! Living in Florida it's a lil different with seasons so I needed to adapt BUT the fact U can grow most things yr round IISS a plus!! And send prayer's I can find it in my Chrons having body that I can do some MUCH NEEDED deep cleaning!! Lol it will be MUCH appreciated!! We shld ALL do a LIVE on a new/full moon 🌕🌜🧹☕ sometime!!?? Much Thanks to ALL U do Frankie much love frm the Southern Witches of Florida 💜🌴🌴💜
AWWW Thanks girl friend 💜 We here at our house look forward to our Frankie Friday's as well!! Myself and my daughter feel very connected to UR videos cuz it seems we've had Similar ways to the way we where raised Catholic, and our root's literally come frm the Erie, PA. area on dwn to the Ohio river valley area, originally I was born in OH. and I had my Ali in IN. And sooo MUCH U talk about with Folk magic practice is SPOT ON!! I have allowed my Ali to follow HER own path being a GenX Mama and her being a Millennial 💯💜 We hope ur having a great wkend and New moon 🌛🌕🌜🧹☕💜 Blessed be friend 💜🌴🌴💜
BTW I have two huge pic's that seem to be a type of painting of the two ppl who came HERE frm Ireland, the pic's are several generations BCK and U can actually SEE the similar features in OUR faces compared to the woman in the painting's, it's sooo cool to see!! However they are so old nobody really knows how to preserve them due to NOT knowing what type of medium was used to create them..... But U KNOW these hold VERY old feeling's to them so we feel possibly a ghost box sesh is NEEDED 💯🌛🌕🌜🧹🧹☕☕ seems it's the perfect time for such things energy wise!!!
How I remember waning vs waxing is that one scene from karate kid: wax on, wax off. But instead it's Wax on, Wane off. Just a fun little way to remember 😅
Me: *wondering why this video keeps popping up for me besides just watching you a lot* My guides: *telling me about the new moon and me just finding out TODAY, the same day you posted this, that it's the new moon next 2 days* The Universe: *makes a friend just end our friendship* Deity: *telling me to get my ish together* (associated with the moon) Me: OhHhHhHh HeHe GoTtChA uSe ThE nEw MoOn FoR a SpElL tO mOvE oN-
Idk Frankie, I hear a lot on the tiktok generation, they say cleanse and release only on the full moon! I think it vastly depends on your intention. I get sick of people saying release only
Hey Frankie! I’m thinking about doing a new moon ritual to bring my lost tortoise home,I’m not sure how I can go about that as I cannot use fire! So no candles etc,That being said how do you expand your rituals too last till the new moon too the full moon,Do you add energy or contribute too the spell every day? I’ve never done a ritual this long but this is extremely important too me and time sensitive !
💚🤍❤️Sisters please send love and strength to my people in Iran ,they are fighting for their freedom in the streets these days after the tragic death of 22 year old girl #mahsaamini . She died allegedly after being beaten by the police for not following Iran's strict hijab laws last week. 💚🤍❤️

Classical Astrology List of Importance From Greatest to Least:

2. Moon Sign (i.e. this is your soul, the kind of energy you have, and the kind of emotions you have)
3. Mercury Sign (i.e. this is how you communicate, how you plan and why you travel, and what kind of luck you'll have)
4. Venus Sign (i.e. the kind of family and friends and relationships you'll have both good, bad, and in between)
5. Sun Sign (i.e. this is your psychology, the kind of imagination you have, and the kind of spirituality you have)
6. Mars Sign (i.e. it is how and why you start projects and what drives you, where and when you get angry, but is also your passion and sex)
7. Jupiter Sign (i.e. how you grow, explore, and learn, but also what kind of career you'll have and what your finances will be like)
8. Saturn Sign (i.e. the boundaries, limitations, and restrictions you'll face in your life, but also the kind of karma you'll have)
As an example the First House of your chart is always your Ascending Sign in classical astrology, and across from that, is the Seventh House your Descending Sign which is your personal House of Love and Enemies. The person with the same Ascending Sign as your Descending Sign in your House of Love (i.e. your Seventh House) is the person/people you're most likely attracted to the most for love, for example. But also the same kind of people you'll most likely clash with if their chart doesn't fit well with yours. It's to be expected to clash with a lot of these people because it's also your House of Enemies, but don't completely write all of them off, because somewhere in the sea of them is your one true love.

The moon has kinda been a reminder of my body going thru it’s own hormone cycles and how to do self care for each “season” or phase. :) it’s cool how nature can be such a helpful teacher 😊 thank you for sharing your thoughts on new moon work
It's interesting how people can look at the lunar cycles differently. For me, the new moon is a beginning - holding all possibilities. I am personally much more aligned with the dark moon/ eclipses in my practices and much less to the full moon. I think those aspects have a lot to do with the majority of my work being in transformational magic. I agree with working through a cycle instead of just one day. I think it goes deeper when you do. Really good video and ideas!
I absolutely adore the practitioner you've become :)
I always do my stuff on the new moon and rest on the full moon. It also makes sense to manifest on the new moon and watch it grow during the moon cycle
For me, I tend to work with the waxing half and the waning half of the lunar cycle. I have found that expecting me to do something specific on one day just isn’t realistic, like, energy-wise, and just life-wise.
I don’t always feel like I have to use the lunar cycle, but when I’m doing a long-term working I prefer it (at least right now).
Working with moon phrases is new to me but makes sense since I have been more and more aware of my emotional cycles coinciding with them, I've been a bit lazy with developing a practice and instead been focused on shadow work and learning all the things I was forbidden from learning growing up.
I appreciate your insights and willingness to share them, it helps immensely with my own self acceptance and inspiration about what to explore next. 🦄
I love your videos! Can you do a new video on personal protection please? Also, I'm also a disabled witch and I would love a video about how that intersects with your practice. I'm sorry if that wording didn't make much sense 😅
I would love that! I will add it to my video list ❤️
@@ChaoticWitchAunt thank you!
Would also like advice for people with mobility issues. Am finding a lot of practices aren't accessible.
tbh i agree with the thing about eclipses being powerful! for me, it's because of the gravitational lensing that can be demonstrated, magnifying not just light, but also energy!!!
Can you do a video on working with ancestors regularly and/or during Samhain? I’ve been trying to honor the sabbats this year more and need some ideas haha
I will be doing an All Soul’s Day video focusing on Ancestor work!
@@ChaoticWitchAunt this is a really specific thing, but will the video have a part about contacting specific ancestors without attracting the attention of all of them? (Dysfunctional family on both sides means I really only want to connect to either my maternal grandfather, or old old ancestors before we came to America)
Mabon blessings to you from Devon England. 🌛🌕🌜🤎
Heyyy! I wanna do this all SO. MUCH. But I live in a household where its discouraged. Yet,I still love it! I love watching people do it though.
I strive to be stable enough to support you!!!
I personally can't afford your patreon, so I will continue to wish Helios blessings on a bean of immaculate proportions 🌘
Thank you!!!! Just watching my videos is enough ❤️
I separate the lunar phases a bit differently. The dark moon (when you can't see the moon at all) is banishing, protective, divininatory, etc. The day after, when you can see just a sliver of the moon sometimes up to 3 days after the dark moon is the new moon for me. And I do absolutely begin things on the new moon. I am planting the last little herbs in my garden for the year tomorrow (its still hot in northern California *sob*).
Thank you for sharing!!!!
You’ve helped me grow so much in the matter of a year 💕 you’re awesome and my craft wouldn’t be the same without your videos
Celebrating the moon phases is always 💫
Hi I am italian and I always thought you wanted to say something in latin towards the end haha Siate benedetti is more appropriate to the modern language and if you wanted to add something else you could say “che siate benedetti” as praying for a direct blessing of the persona. (I dont know if I explained well lol) anyways love your videos and byeee
Ahhhhh thank you so much!!!!! I wish someone corrected me sooner 😭 Sabbenedica seems to be dialect and possibly influenced by Italian American culture!!! But I will be using the more appropriate term! Thank you for the comment ❤️
@@ChaoticWitchAunt no problem 😊and also your general italian is pretty good! love your content
What you call the New moon is the dark of the moon and the new moon is when you see a sliver of the moon (thus new)... I do enjoy your videos.... I always learn something new when I watch them
ooop never been this early before, love you Frankie
The new moon is my favorite for magic. Idk. I just love the dark feel and the planting of things for later.
I agree I always start on the new moon and charge things in that time and do the complete working on the full moon, also I am often tired on the full moon
I just randomly chose this video to watch and got to wondering what phase the moon is in tonight, looked it up... it's the new moon. 😊 perfect
Thank you for such a wonderful video. I always feel so drained on a full moon and I use that time to rest and rejuvenate and I always feel inspired and motivated on the new moon so I use that time to cleanse and set intentions.
Merry meet...I swear you and Olivia are just so adorable ❤️ Love your videos thank you so much for the help!! Blessed be 🪄✨🧹
I haven't really witched in years due to some serious issues, however, when I do witch through moon cycles, I tend to work to grow into bursts.
For me, the new moon begins. I begin things on the new moon, to let them burst into fullness on their own at the full moon. The full is a bit of a break, and then the next day begins my ending cycle. Anything that needs to be compressed, slid off, banished, or broken through.
Unless I'm working something intensely, I let the spells run their own course, and simply monitor the results. ^_^
I love to see your videos it allways makes me feel inspired about my craft
Love the video and just in time to work on the new moon. Is there any chance you could touch on blessings, it may not be enough for a video but just knowing a few methods of how to actually do it. Very grateful for the video!!
Amazing! I love novenas and prayers to saints. I would like to see the way you use that in spells. Can you create a video about this pls? I grow up in a Christian family. When I was a kid I lit candles to saint Expedite and he always attended my prayers.
I have been bad with Lunar cycles and also with the sabbats 😱🥺I forget about them except Samhain
Thank you for this video. I'm going to start setting new moon attention. I was ignoring the cycles for a while. I know its bad. I'll start a novena too.😁
Girl friend I am thinking the SAME on the blockages an 💰 flow!! Lol Spooky season is LIFE rite now lol!! Living in Florida it's a lil different with seasons so I needed to adapt BUT the fact U can grow most things yr round IISS a plus!!

Much Thanks to ALL U do Frankie much love frm the Southern Witches of Florida 💜🌴🌴💜
All love to you!! I look forward to your comments each week ❤️❤️❤️
AWWW Thanks girl friend 💜 We here at our house look forward to our Frankie Friday's as well!! Myself and my daughter feel very connected to UR videos cuz it seems we've had Similar ways to the way we where raised Catholic, and our root's literally come frm the Erie, PA. area on dwn to the Ohio river valley area, originally I was born in OH. and I had my Ali in IN. And sooo MUCH U talk about with Folk magic practice is SPOT ON!! I have allowed my Ali to follow HER own path being a GenX Mama and her being a Millennial 💯💜 We hope ur having a great wkend and New moon 🌛🌕🌜🧹☕💜 Blessed be friend 💜🌴🌴💜
BTW I have two huge pic's that seem to be a type of painting of the two ppl who came HERE frm Ireland, the pic's are several generations BCK and U can actually SEE the similar features in OUR faces compared to the woman in the painting's, it's sooo cool to see!! However they are so old nobody really knows how to preserve them due to NOT knowing what type of medium was used to create them..... But U KNOW these hold VERY old feeling's to them so we feel possibly a ghost box sesh is NEEDED 💯🌛🌕🌜🧹🧹☕☕ seems it's the perfect time for such things energy wise!!!
My shit always gets rocked on the New Moon without fail 🫠🥲
How I remember waning vs waxing is that one scene from karate kid: wax on, wax off. But instead it's Wax on, Wane off. Just a fun little way to remember 😅
Me: *wondering why this video keeps popping up for me besides just watching you a lot*
My guides: *telling me about the new moon and me just finding out TODAY, the same day you posted this, that it's the new moon next 2 days*
The Universe: *makes a friend just end our friendship*
Deity: *telling me to get my ish together* (associated with the moon)
Me: OhHhHhHh HeHe GoTtChA uSe ThE nEw MoOn FoR a SpElL tO mOvE oN-
Amazing video once again!!! Thank you for making this video!!
I have that same coffee cup but my spoon broke. Also love your videos
When did you do an interview with Dr. Puca?? How exciting! Loved this video, too. 😊
It will be out on Tuesday!
Omg Frankie i almost bought that exact same mug but i decided on a different mug from the aame brand that had a baphomet head on it
Idk Frankie, I hear a lot on the tiktok generation, they say cleanse and release only on the full moon! I think it vastly depends on your intention. I get sick of people saying release only
Do you tell people you're a witch in real life :)
Sometimes! A lot of my friends are also witches, but to non-witches or people I don’t know very well, I don’t always divulge the info!
Hey Frankie! I’m thinking about doing a new moon ritual to bring my lost tortoise home,I’m not sure how I can go about that as I cannot use fire! So no candles etc,That being said how do you expand your rituals too last till the new moon too the full moon,Do you add energy or contribute too the spell every day? I’ve never done a ritual this long but this is extremely important too me and time sensitive !
💚🤍❤️Sisters please send love and strength to my people in Iran ,they are fighting for their freedom in the streets these days after the tragic death of 22 year old girl #mahsaamini . She died allegedly after being beaten by the police for not following Iran's strict hijab laws last week. 💚🤍❤️
