Lesson 3: Correspondences to Consider: Part 5 Lunar Phases

Lunar Phases

These are vitally important. The phase of the moon is extremely important in making amulets and talismans. Obviously, in an emergency situation there are alternative ways to bring (or repel) the right energies, but if time permits then working within the lunar phases is far preferable. And the energies gathered will greatly increase the efficacy of your amulet or talisman.
