Term: Wane

DEFINITION:
To get smaller. The waning Moon occurs when, due to the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, the visible Moon appears to be decreasing in size. This is the period from the full Moon to the new Moon when sunlight does not reflect off the Earth’s neighbor. When doing magick, this is traditionally a time for doing rituals to get rid of or end things such as bad habits, unwanted relationships, banishings, etc.
