[ [ Moon Phase: Last Quarter Moon 
] ]
ā Wednesday, June 18
This week we will be blessed by the light of a Last Quarter Moon. The exact time you will see this moon phase depends on your location 
The Spells8 Moon Magick Guide to Last Quarter Moon Magick lists this moon phase as the ideal time to remove negativity and banish things that are holding you back. It is a good time for spellwork that deals with laying things to rest and banishment.
This moon phase is part of the Waning Cycle 
. For more information including history, meanings, and a collection of spells and rituals that work in harmony with this moon phase, check out the Waning Moon Spell Page
