How to make Moon Water

Moon Water, the celestial brew of every witch’s dreams. Whether you’ve been walking the path for years or you’re still finding your way, making Moon Water is one of those simple rituals that instantly adds a spark of magick to your craft. It’s also ridiculously satisfying. Who doesn’t love turning an ordinary night into a little ceremony?

Here’s how to make it, what you’ll need, and all the lovely ways you can use it in your practice.

What You’ll Need

• A clean glass or crystal container (preferably with a lid)
• Filtered or spring water (tap is fine too if that’s what you’ve got)
• A quiet space under the Moonlight, outdoors, is ideal, but a windowsill works beautifully too
• Intention – Know what you’re calling in before you begin

How to Make Moon Water

1. Choose Your Container
   Pick something clear if possible. Glass or crystal is ideal, especially if you plan to drink the water later. Clean it thoroughly; this is sacred stuff.
2. Set the Stage
   Place your container somewhere it can soak up the Moonlight. The New Moon is a beautiful time for fresh starts and setting intentions, but Full Moons work great too, depending on what energy you want to channel.
3. Add Your Water
   Fill the container with your chosen water. Optional: Add herbs or flower petals aligned with your intention. If you’re not planning to drink it, you can also add a few drops of essential oil.
4. Crystals (Optional, Read Carefully)
   You can place crystals around your container for extra energy—not inside, unless you’re absolutely sure they’re safe to be in water. Quartz is a safe all-rounder, but always double-check if unsure.
5. Infuse with Intention
   Hold your container and focus on what you’re manifesting. Speak it aloud, write it on a slip of paper, and place it beside the jar, or simply visualize it clearly. Let the Moon charge the water with your desire.
6. Let it Sit Overnight
   Leave your Moon Water out from moonrise to sunrise, or as long as you can. If your lifestyle doesn’t allow for a full-night ritual, it’s okay—it’s the energy and intent that matter most.
7. Collect and Store
   In the morning, retrieve your jar and give thanks. Label it with the Moon phase and your intention. Store it in a cool, dark place or fridge if you plan to ingest it.
