Hi @Rosemarie!

Here’s some useful information regarding your question:

The main difference between an amulet and a talisman is its purpose. A **Talisman** is used to attract or manifest a goal, which could be anything (for example, love, money, good luck, etc). 🍀

Meanwhile, an **Amulet** is a bit more specific, an amulet is for **Protection**. 🙏 So an amulet is basically a [Talisman for Protection (here’s how to make one)](https://forum.spells8.com/t/how-to-make-a-talisman-for-protection/1731).

I say this because the best lunar phase is going to depend on what your intention or purpose is for this amulet/talisman. I recommend you to follow [this guide](https://spells8.com/lessons/moon-phases-spells/):

[![Moon-Magic-Phases-Spells-Rituals](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/c/c963340a06db53ce88d1136a0fa883236acdfa65.jpeg)](https://spells8.com/lessons/moon-phases-spells)

In short, if the purpose is to **boost, builds up, attract or heal** , it’s best to do it during the **[Waxing phase](https://spells8.com/waxing-moon-spells/)** (the moon is growing).

The **[Waning phase](https://spells8.com/waning-moon-magic/)** (when the moon is disappearing) is recommended to blow away any obstacles that get in your way, be they people or circumstances. It’s about **banishing energies, getting rid of bad habits** , etc.

The **[New Moon](https://spells8.com/new-moon-rituals/)** is great for new beginnings or fresh starts, and the **[Full Moon](https://spells8.com/full-moon-spells/)** is about realization, fulfillment, dreaming big!

Having said that, not all witches take into account the moon phase when they cast spells. Tonight there’s a New Moon 🌑 so if you feel that is a good sign, go ahead!
