The blue moon is a powerful time of year for spiritual work.  And with this recipe for blue moon water, you can literally bottle it!

If you’ve been practicing moon magic for a while, you probably already know what moon water is and how to make it.  It’s a pretty simple formula—put some spring water out under the full moon, and then use it for cleansing, in your ritual baths, ect.

But you can get more creative with moon water. 

One fun way to experiment with it is to make it with natural ingredients specific to the full moon during which you make it.  For example, putting strawberry seeds in your moon water during the Strawberry Moon, or seasonal flowers during the Flower Moon.

For this recipe, we’ll focus on stones, botanicals, and oils associated with the blue moon.

What is the blue moon?

For practitioners of moon magic, blue moons are the heavy-weight champions of the lunar cycle.

There are two kinds of blue moons:

  • Seasonal Blue Moon: The third full moon in a season that has four full moons.  Usually, each season (winter, spring, summer, and fall) has three full moons. When a season has four full moons, the third one is called a blue moon.
  • Monthly Blue Moon: The second full moon in a calendar month with two full moons. Normally, a calendar month has only one full moon, but because the lunar cycle (29.5 days) is shorter than most months, occasionally a month will have two full moons. The second full moon in such a month is called a blue moon.

In the practice of modern magic, both kinds of blue moons are ideal for important personal goals.  

Magical Correspondences 

Cedar Essential Oil

Cedar is the essence of wisdom and endurance.  

An evergreen, its leaves look silvery under a full moon, seeming to glitter with a vibrant lunar energy.

Cinnamon Essential Oil

Cinnamon is known for its high spiritual vibration.  It’s a perfect way to elevate your moon water and infuse it with potent psychic energy.

Mugwort

Mugwort is prized for its powerful spiritual and magical uses.  

In particular, it has a rich kinship with the lunar cycles and makes a perfect addition to any batch of moon water.

Butterfly Pea Flowers

The indigo-blue color of butterfly pea flowers acts as a natural dye to give the blue moon water its strikingly deep, night-blue color.  


 

Ingredients & Materials

*spring water

*two tablespoons butterfly peaflowers

*a few leaves of fresh mugwort (or sub one tablespoon ground, dried mugwort)

*tea strainer or kitchen strainer

*5 drops cedar essential oil

*3 drops cinnamon essential oil

Step 1

On the night of the full moon, add the mugwort and butterfly pea flowers to a small bowl.
