Faerie Moon* There is also the Other Moon phase, which is the phenomenon of two Dark Moons in one solar month. Such an occurrence is not common. When there are two Full Moons in the same solar month, the second one is referred to as a Blue Moon. These generally occur in August. This is the best time to give extra power to magics and spells involving creativity, expression and productivity. Like the Blue Moon, the Other Moon enhances a particular variety of magickal practice. The Other Moon is the reflection in this world of the Full Moon in the Otherworld. It is a glimpse into that realm from being the Moon of the Other People, and so it also called the Sidhe or Faerie Moon. When the Sidhe Moon shines, the witch has the opportunity to conduct dark magics that call on the Faerie powers, and seek the aid of the Sidhe. These are Faerie magics, familiar magics and companion magics. The companion may be honoured at this time, or one may be sought now if the witch does not yet have such a friend. This Moon may be like a holiday time for the companion — a time to visit home, and perhaps bring the witch along. *Excerpts from Green Witchcraft II by Ann Moura. Llewellyn Publications, 2001.
