Connecting & Working with the Moon for Love

By Victoria Chasmar of Charmed in Company

Spring is a time for strong emotions and romance. What better way to understand ourselves and others than by paying attention to the heavenly body that pulls and tugs our emotional heartstrings? Yep, you guessed it, the moon. Now I have mentioned this subtle guy once before but this time we are going to take a look at him from a new perspective. With spring here we are looking at thoughts of love or renewal of love. This article will be on using the moon's energy and other natural energies to see a future love, enhance an existing one, or finding the strength to end a relationship and begin again.

Connecting to the moon’s energy can be done any time, but if you are going to work with the moon's love energy you will need to do it incorporating the gem, philtre, color, and scent given below.

CONNECTING WITH THE MOON:

Take 3 slow, long, deep breaths and look into the moon. Feel the light of the moon surrounding you, swirling around you. Close your eyes and see the moon in your mind's eye. Take another deep breath and visualize the moon energy that now surrounds you filling you up as you inhale. Hold the energy within yourself, feel its light, then slowly exhale and repeat this process until you feel at one with the moon's energy.

If possible I would suggest going to the beach to charge your gemstones and to connect with the moon. The energy there is incredibly strong. The moon should be clear and visible without any distracting lights or sounds. If you can't make it to the beach then find a nice quiet place outside where you have a good view of the moon.

FUTURE LOVE:

You will need to make the love philter up before going to the beach. You may do this the day before of just prior to going. Wear an article of blue clothing (deep blue preferably). Wear the ylang ylang essential oil on your wrists. Do the moon meditation while holding the moonstone gem, palm up in your hands, facing the moon. When you feel the connection with the moon's energy. Close your eyes ask to see your future love and drink the love philtre. Relax and see what impressions come to you. It may be in the form of feelings, a visual impression, a name, etc. This will be a very individual process. If you do not receive any immediate impressions or wish to have more information place the gemstone under your pillow that night and record your dreams in the morning.

You will need the following ingredients:

1 Moonstone Gemstone

An Article of Blue Clothing

1 bottle of Love Philtre 1 (recipe given below)

Ylang Ylang based essential oil

ENHANCE LOVE:

You will need to make the love philter up before going to the beach. You may do this the day before of just prior to going. Wear an article of green clothing (a green shirt if possible). Wear the lavender essential oil on your wrists. Connect to the moon while holding the garnet gem, palm up in your hands, facing the moon. When you feel the connection with the moon's energy. Close your eyes and drink the love philtre. Relax and visualize your relationship getting stronger. If you can take your significant other with you to the beach hold hands with the garnet gem in the middle. Close your eyes, connect to the moon and drink the philter together.

You will need the following ingredients:

Garnet

Green Quartz

Green Clothing

Love Philtre 2 (recipe given below)

STRENGTH TO END & BEGIN AGAIN:

On the day of the full moon or as close as possible to it make philter. Wear an article of red clothing (preferably a red shirt). Wear the clary sage essential oil when making the philtre and also on your wrists when going to the beach. Connect with the moon while holding the tiger-eye gem, palm up in your hands. When you feel the connection with the moon's energy. Close your eyes hold the philter to the moon and visualize the energy going into the bottle, charging it with strengthening emotional energy. Do not drink this philtre, take it home and draw a bath. Place the gem in the tub with the water running. After the bath is filled light the red candle and pour the philter into the bathtub. As you take the bath close your eyes and visualize your inner strength returning and see yourself in the kind of relationship you truly desire. After you are done, carry the charged gem with you, near your heart.

Tiger eye gemstone

Red Candle & Clothing

LOVE PHILTRES:

The process of making the love philtres is the same for all. Add water to a pot. If you have a glass pot or a copper one that is even better. Allow the water to boil and then lower to a simmer. Visualize your intent and whisper the words aloud as you add them to the simmering water. Allow the herbs to simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour in glass bottle and cap.

The recipes, visualizations, and words given above are just suggestions. Feel free to make them your own or change them, as you need. We have a new moon in the sign of Libra coming up this month on Monday the 5^th, but you may wish to do this on the 4^th instead. The moon will still be in the partnership sign of Libra and will have stronger energy. If you miss this date you can either wait until the next full moon or do it on a day when the moon is waxing (building, becoming larger). Enjoy your connection to the moon energy.
