2020 Witch's Moon Calendar

As Old World Witches, we utilize elemental forces for magick and mystical significance of the natural world and its fauna and flora: Esoteric knowledge. Lore of healing. Protective herbs. Natural poisons. Psychoactive plants. Energetic resonance of roots. And of course, the Moon. 

The Moon is of crucial importance for the Old World Witch. The phases of the Moon and its cycle impact the potency of the spellwork and its successes. 

Can rituals be performed during the "wrong" moon phase? Performing a ritual during the improper phase of the Moon will not lead to disastrous effects. Rather, it will hinder the fruition of the outcome. The Moon amplifies spellwork and works in harmony with the energies exerted by the Witch. 

Keep in mind; the Old World Witch does not follow the exact terminology and specifications of modern astrologers and astronomers. We maintain the visual interpretation and energies of the Moon, therefore our spellwork is similarly aligned. 

​The times are listed to assist you in planning your rituals. Some things to keep in mind: 

• If you are in a different timezone than the listed and are having difficulty calculating the difference, please use this time zone converter to calculate your local date & time.
• If you are unable to align your spellwork with the date and time indicated, a good rule of thumb is to perform the spell the night before. For example, if you are planning to perform a spell for attracting financial prosperity into your life, but the Moon is Full during an inconvenient time (say, 10 am on a Tuesday while you're at work), it is advised you to perform the ritual the night before. As the Moon grows to a Full, so too will your access to the energies that are harmonizing the manifestation of your ritual. 
• ​The Witch's New Moon is when the very first crescent of the Moon is visible, which will be visible on or between the two dates listed. Based on your location on the planet, some will see the Witch's New Moon in the earlier part of the given dates. Others will see it only towards the end. When you see the very first moon crescent in the sky, know that the Witch's Moon is upon you. 
• It is extremely important to note that the Witch's New Moon is different from the Dark Moon. For more information on the Witch's Moon's and how to best harness the energies of the phases, visit Witch's Moon Phases: Magick By The Moon
