Moon Lore

So I was looking for more moon spell, rituals and general info and came across some interesting tidbits of moon lore that I thought I would post and share. A lot of them are just kinda common sense if you keep in mind the waxing and waning of the moon and what waxing is for bringing in or increasing and waning is to lose, get rid of or decrease. So have some fun reading these.
