Hi all, just a quick question hopefully! So I know that the New Moon is useful for destructive spells and banishing and such, however I just read in a book that the New Moon "is an auspicious time for a fresh start" and suggests it as a good time to cast a spell for meeting new friends. This doesn't sound quite right to me and seems more like something for the waxing moon, but it's in a book so I'm assuming I'm wrong! Any advice and guidance would be appreciated =)

Not all books are correct. I agree that the waxing moon sounds better for that but I have heard from several sources that the new moon is good for new beginnings. Hope that helps love!!!
Thank you for your reply, that does help a lot! It was just the first time that I had heard of the New Moon being used in this way, although I can see the logic. I'm going to continue researching as moon magic is of great interest to me and I want to learn as much as I can! Thanks again 🙂
From your own view, I think casting a spell for such a thing that the book is suggesting might not work as a basis because you already have it that it's not a suitable time to cast a spell such as that. I'm more inclined to agree with you as it being an improper time because of my own views. Could it possible be to do with it being close to the waxing moon and the completion of it being a Dark Moon (or Full) would just add some oomph to the spell?
Yes, I agree with what you're saying about my disbelief in that time causing the spell not to work. After all, intention and belief is what it's all about! I think the point is kind of like the New Moon marking a new beginning which makes sense, but it just doesn't feel quite right to me. Thank you for your reply, it's really helpful to discuss things like this and to have your point of view!
