I simply adore making Moon water, and like many witches it was one of the first rituals I started performing as a practicing witch. What I love about Moon water is that it is so versatile. When I started making this list I didn’t expect it to end up as long as it did and I fully expect to make a part two to this as I continue down this spiritual road and we share ideas.
Here’s a list of ways you can use Moon water:
Cleansing and Purification: Use Moon water to cleanse and purify yourself, objects, or spaces of negative energy. Sprinkle or spray it around your home or sacred space. It makes the perfect ingredient to a room spray.
Bathing and Showering: Make washing even more magickal by adding moon water to your bath or mixing it with your shower gel to help you cleanse and refresh your energy.
Altar Offerings: Use as an offering on altars, particularly those dedicated to lunar deities or during lunar rituals – if that is your practice.
Charging Crystals and Gemstones: Place crystals and gemstones in a bowl of moon water under the moonlight to cleanse and charge their energy. Make sure to check that the Crystals are safe to use in water.
Anointing: Use moon water to anoint candles, tools, or yourself during rituals or spells for added lunar energy.
Drinking: Make sure that the water is safe to drink first but the consumption of moon water is believed to promote intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual insight.

Dreamwork: Drink a small amount of moon water before sleep to enhance dream recall and promote lucid and intuitive dreaming.
Plant Care: I love to water my plants with moon water when I am manifesting something as it helps me focus and I can see something develop from my attention to it. You can also water your plants with moon water to promote growth and vitality, especially during the full moon. Good plant parenting right there.
Divination: This will certainly need to be a larger article but one way you can use moon water as a scrying tool is by placing it in a black bowl or mirror to enhance your divination practices. It’s also really useful to sprinkle around any areas where you perform readings and want to do a quick space cleanse.
Magical Ink: This is something I’m exploring more at the minute so I will report on all my findings soon but you can use moon water as a base for creating magical inks or writing spells, intentions, or sigils. Fabulous, right?
Ritual Baths: Take a ritual bath with moon water to align your energy with the moon’s cycles and intentions…or just take a witchy bath whenever, we advocate for romantising your life here.
Making Moon Tea: Who doesn’t love a good cuppa? Mind you, I would say that as a Brit. Use Moon water to brew herbal teas to infuse them with lunar energy.
Energy Cleansing Tools: Soak crystals, pendulums, or other divination tools in moon water to cleanse and reset their energy.
Empowering Jewellery: Empower your jewellery, such as rings, necklaces, or amulets, by soaking them in moon water.Also great for cleansing proactive jewerllery – or in general.
Enhancing Spells: Add moon water to spell jars, potions, or spellwork to enhance their potency and connection to lunar energies.
Charging Tarot or Oracle Decks: Place your tarot or oracle cards in moonlight while resting on a dish of moon water to cleanse and charge them.

Spiritual Bath Salts: Mix moon water with Epsom salts and essential oils for a luxurious and spiritually cleansing bath.
Emotional Healing: Use moon water in emotional healing rituals or practices, as it is believed to provide emotional balance and support – maybe use in a oil burner when performing shadow work.
Manifestation: Super charge your manifestations by choosing the perfect Moon phase for your goals. Write your intentions or desires on a piece of paper, soak it in moon water, and let it dry in the moonlight.
Offerings to Deities: Check in and use moon water as an offering to deities during rituals and prayers.
Phew, I will leave it 20 for now but let us know how you use Moon water below in our comments or via our social media.
Remember that the specific use of moon water may vary depending on your personal beliefs and spiritual practices.
Always use moon water with respect for its symbolic and energetic properties. Make sure that you collect moon water safely, using only clean containers and following hygiene guidelines if you plan to ingest it.
