What Is Moon Water?
Moon water is potable water charged under the Moon’s rays, infused with her gentle yet profound energy. It’s believed to absorb the power of lunar cycles, making it a versatile and sacred addition to spiritual cleansing, beauty rituals, and even emotional healing. Think of it as holy water for those drawn to the Moon’s magic(k). Moon water is often made using tap water or spring water, ensuring it is safe for consumption if intended for consumption.
Not only does moon water reflect your intention, but it also serves as an energetic bridge, connecting you to the divine feminine power of the natural world. Whether you use it to anoint your yoga mat, place crystals in it, or brew a soothing herbal tea, this liquid treasure helps you reconnect with your personal power.
Understanding the Moon’s Energy
The Moon’s cycles mirror our own ebb and flow, guiding us through rhythms of release, rest, renewal, and growth. Just as the gravitational pull moves oceans, it can stir our emotions and intuition, offering moments of personal growth and clarity.
Each lunar phase carries its own unique energy. The full Moon feels like standing on stage, illuminated and powerful, while the new Moon invites quiet reflection and fresh starts. Recognizing these phases can help you amplify your moon water's purpose. Moon water is commonly made during the full moon due to its association with maximum energy and potential.

How to Make Moon Water
Creating moon water is a simple yet deeply intentional ritual. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your own moon water:
Choose Your Container: Use a clear glass mason jar, an old wine bottle, or any vessel that feels sacred to you. Upcycling old wine bottles works great, so try to repurpose whenever possible! Make sure it’s clean and ready to hold your intentions. You can also have fun decorating it with charms, beads, glitter, or anything else that inspires you—get creative and make it your own! Containers for moon water can vary, but glass is preferred for its purity and ability to charge energy effectively.
Pick Your Water: While the pros recommend distilled water for the best results, spring water, filtered tap water, or even bottled water work just fine. Just avoid salty or mineral-rich water to keep it fresh and versatile for various uses. Use what you've got!
Connect with Your Intention: Hold the jar in your hands and think about why you’re creating this moon water. Is it for emotional healing? Spiritual cleansing? Or enhancing your beauty rituals? Visualize your intention pouring into the water like ripples of light.
Bless It:This is where the magic happens! Bless your moon water in any way that feels right—say a prayer, chant, express gratitude, or use crystals and candles. There’s no wrong way; your intention is what gives it power! I’ve provided some blessings below, or feel free to come up with your own.
Set It Beneath the Moon: Place your jar under direct moonlight, letting the Moon’s rays kiss the water. You can do this outside or on a windowsill. (Pro tip: Avoid making moon water during lunar eclipses, as they bring chaotic and conflicting energy.) It is advised to avoid making moon water during lunar eclipses because the energy can be unpredictable.
Optional Additions:Add crystals like rose quartz for love or clear quartz for clarity. Enhance the energy with rose petals, lavender, or a few drops of your favorite essential oils for a really immersive experience.
Remove Before the Sun Rises: The Moon’s energy is soft and receptive, unlike the Sun, which can counter its effects. Retrieve your moon water just before dawn if possible.
Full Moon Water Blessing
“Under the luminous gaze of the full Moon, I call upon Spirit to imbue this water with clarity, release, and power. May its energy amplify my intentions, illuminate the path ahead, and open my heart to radiant abundance. By the Moon’s power, it is done.”
Picture the Moon’s light shimmering within the jar as you recite this, visualizing it filling with vibrant energy.
New Moon Water Blessing
“In the quiet of the new Moon, I welcome hope, renewal, and Spirit’s infinite wisdom. May this water nurture fresh beginnings, ground my intentions, and foster the growth of my deepest dreams. By the Moon’s cycles, it is so.”
Hold your hands above the jar and feel the calm energy infusing the water, like a gentle stream flowing through your Spirit as you set your intention.
