Introduction

The Moon is highly revered in Wicca. She guides Wiccans through the year as well as the Mysteries of Life.

She is an indispensable presence in the lives of all Wiccans. practise with a coven or independently. The energy from the Moon is more receptive and feminine than the energy from the Sun. This is the work of the Goddess. This is a magnetic force, which makes sense to anyone who has ever experienced the Moon's gravitational pull. Those with heightened sensitivity will experience a physical tug during a New Moon or Full Moon celebration. Others will simply notice that there is more energy than usual in the air.

Since both energies are magnetic, feminine, and receptive to suggestion, the energy that we receive from the Moon is ideal for working with the energy that comes from our own intuition. This is sometimes referred to as our sixth sense. This is our most crucial type of perception when it comes to doing magic. When we connect consciously with the Moon's energy, we establish a conduit or channel for that energy to bring about the necessary and desired changes in our lives. And when this is done in deliberate synchronisation with the rhythmic energies of the Moon, the magical potency of your work will actually enhance. Each phase of the lunar cycle and each celebration based on the lunar cycle provides you with distinct energy that you may employ to your advantage.

Relationship between the Moon and the magic you practise is a cycle of waxing and waning. When the Moon is expanding in size, you will perform enchanted growth. As the Moon's size diminishes, you cast a spell that decreases. Therefore, if you intend to attract something new into your life, you should cast this ritual during a waxing Moon phase. And if you wish to rid yourself of a bad habit, you should cast the spell during the Moon's declining phase. When the Moon is new, you should compose spells with new goals for your next round of spell casting. And at the Full Moon, you will reap what you have sowed and rejoice in your achievements.

The celebration of the Full Moon is one of the most important events in a Wiccan's life. Once every four weeks, the night is lighted by the light of the Full Moon, and Wiccans over the world meet in their covens or practise alone at their altars or beneath the light of the sky to worship the Full Moon and the Goddess. These festivities of the Full Moon are known as Esbats, and they are the equivalents to the Sabbats. The passage of the Sun through the Wiccan year, which is recorded by the Wheel of the Year, is commemorated by eight Sabbats. Celebrations of the Sabbat centre on God and his role to the natural cycles of life on earth.

Understanding the Wheel of the Year is crucial for two reasons. One is the Wiccan calendar of life events. These are significant Wiccan rituals. Many of them coincide with Christian holidays, and many of their joyful features are same.

The emblem for the Triple Goddess may be found at the middle of the Wheel. This is due to the fact that each of the Triple Goddesses ruled over a distinct portion of the year, despite the fact that the festivals are meant to celebrate the Sun and the God.

The Maiden has dominion over Imbolc and Ostara. Imbolc is the festival that ushers in the entrance of spring. This is the time when we rid our homes and ourselves of negativity, bad habits, clutter, and everything else that might prevent us from enjoying the springtime's liberation. Ostara commemorates the end of Winter and the onset of warm weather and fresh life. The Maiden is fully in her element as plants and animals begin to mature.

During Beltane, Litha, and Lammas, the Mother is in her might (also known as Lughnasadh). During Beltane, weddings or handfastings occur, and the Mother is revered to ensure a prosperous growing season for crops, livestock, and families. Litha, also known as the Summer Solstice, signifies the beginning of shorter days. We express gratitude to the Mother for the bountiful harvest she is preparing for us at the harvest festival of Lammas, when we celebrate the bounty we have received from the growing season.

The Crone begins to exercise her power at the Mabon festival, when the final crop is gathered and the Mother's labour is complete. This is the beginning of the end of the year, when the Crone has authority over the season. She will preside over Samhain, the celebration of deceased ancestors, and Yule, which is considered by many Wiccans to mark the end of one year and the beginning of the next. The Yule also celebrates the return of light and is the final occasion the Crone is honoured until the next autumn, as the emergence of the Maiden is imminent.

Full Moon festivals done during the Sabbats would honour the Triple Goddess, who is in court at the time. A Samhain Full Moon ceremony would honour the Crone with the Goddess, as the Crone is the most influential force during this time of year. The Goddess is significant to these festivals because without her, the God would not exist. According to Wiccan mythology, the year begins at Yule, when the Goddess gives birth to the God. During the Spring and Summer, the God gains strength so that he and the Goddess can union in the Fall, and she can become pregnant with the new God who will be born at Yule. On Samhain, the old God will pass away. Here is a simple chart to help you organise your Esbats, or Full Moon celebrations:

Imbolc - The Promise of Spring — Second of February

Ostara - The Spring Equinox - March 19th to March 22nd

Beltane – May Day - First of May

Litha – The Summer Solstice – June 19th to June 23rd

Lammas - The First harvest - First of August

Mabon - The Autumn Equinox - September 21st to September 24th

Samhain - All Hallows' Eve - October 31 to November 1

Yule - The Winter Solstice - December 20 to December 23

Therefore, when an Esbat coincides with a Sabbat, there is even more cause to rejoice, and it is appropriate to hold a ritual during the day for the Sabbat and a second one at night during the Moon's phase to commemorate the Esbat. The Goddess will always be the focal point of your Esbat celebration, regardless of her current aspect. You can honour the aspect by using one of her numerous names, such as Athena, Diana, or Hecate.

If you are working towards a specific objective during your Full Moon celebration, you may invoke a specific Goddess for assistance.

If you are casting a ritual to attract romantic love, you may invoke the Goddess Aphrodite for assistance. Some covens and solitaries exclusively commemorate one Goddess throughout the entire year; others have a certain Goddess that they always honour and then pick a different Goddess for a specific purpose; and others just honour the Goddess of their choice on that particular day. Since this is your party, you should select the manner with which you feel the most comfortable.

In contrast to the Sabbats, which each have a distinct purpose and are celebrated accordingly, the Esbats have no unique meaning.

When celebrating an Esbat, there is freedom for individual interpretation and expression. The sole purpose of the Esbat is to link you with the Moon's power. You will establish a deep relationship
