Whats the best time of the lunar cycle to brew potions?

Answer 1

The moon influences potion-making just like it influences other areas of witchcraft. Here are the basic lunar rules:

The waxing moon is a good time for potions aimed at increasing or strenghtening something. Potions to improve health, to attract love, or to increase wealth are stronger when brewed during that time.

The full moon is an excellent time to brew almost any kind of potion.

The waning moon is best for potions that decrease or weaken something. Potions to ward off bad influences, to get rid of illness or worries, and to banish a person or spirit are more effective under a waning moon.

The new moon is a good time for both banishing and renewing. It empowers potions to banish problems once and for all.

When you are making potions the phases of the moon are not the only things to take into consideration, the astrological house the moon is in can also determine what potions you are making.
