Term: waxing
| DEFINITIONS |
Waxing: Getting larger. The waxing Moon occurs when, due to the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, the visible Moon appears to be increasing in size. This is the period from the new Moon to the full Moon when sunlight reflects off the entire visible surface of Earth’s neighbor. When doing magick, this is traditionally a time for doing rituals to bring things to you and for growth, such as gaining wisdom, positive relationships, love, money, etc.
