Introduction
This very interesting excerpt explains the changes that
occur in our psychology and physiology during the waxing and wanning phases of
the Moon, and how we can take advantage of these influences to work
esoterically on ourselves.
Excerpt
“It is important to
learn to work with the different phases of the moon. During the waxing moon,
the physical and psychic energies that nature has deposited in humans help them
to manifest as a conscious, active, and self-willed being. Then, during the
fourteen days of the waning moon, their energies tend to descend in order to
nourish their roots, that is to say their stomach and sexual organs. Their
appetite and sensuality increase during this period, and their mental activity
tends to diminish.
Since these
alternations exist, and cannot be escaped, we should know how to use them to do
psychic work. For example, during the period of the waning moon, you can work
on certain weaknesses that you wish to get rid of, repeating, ‘As the moon
wanes in the sky, in the same way may such and such weaknesses within me
decrease and disappear.’ And conversely, during the period of the waxing moon,
you can concentrate on the qualities that you wish either to strengthen or to
acquire.”
