New Moon
The new moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle, and means that the moon is completely in line with the sun and the earth. We see a dark sky with no visible moon. It's a time of newness and rejuvenation.Spells: New beginnings of any sort, beauty, health, personal improvement or new employment.
Waxing Moon
The waxing moon is the period of time between the new moon and the full moon. Every night, the moon gets a little larger. Any spellwork that requires growth should be done now.
Spells: Courage, motivation, inspiration, friendship, elemental magick, healing or luck.
Full Moon
This is a time when the Moon is at its most powerful, and the magic most potent. Performing any positive spell at this time will achieve good results. Spells: Artistic projects, love, romance, fertility, psychic abilities or making decisions. Also healing, guidance, and completion spells.
Waning Moon
The moon is waning as it gets smaller again, after the full moon. As the moon seems to disappear in the sky, use this time to do spellwork to remove things from your life. The waning moon is a good time for the casting out of the old ways, banishing old habits, smoking, eating habits, the removal of troubles and worries.
Dark of the Moon - The Dark of the Moon (or Dark Moon) is traditionally the last three days of the Lunar cycle, immediately preceding the New Moon, and the time when the night sky is notably absent the presence of the Moon. George [1] notes that: “The earliest peoples understood that the power of life lay in the darkness of the moon.” “The purpose of the dark phase of any cycle is that of transition between the death of the old and the birth of the new. The dark time is a time of retreat, of healing, and of dreaming of the future.” i.e. the fallow times preceding outbursts of creativity and growth.

My ideas on the Wiccan religion
Each Wiccan is pagan and has their own set of unique beliefs, rituals, and practices. All wiccans share a Goddess and God, a respect for nature, with their own personal definition. We see all things as part of the Goddess. Seeing Earth herself as a living organism that we are all part of. The Goddess is within all things, including daily life. We believe of an existence of supernatural powers. Wiccans practice their religion with meditation, chants, visualizations, spells, and rituals. We all have our own inner belief system.
Wiccans have behavior rules. One comes from the "Wiccan Rede". "And it harm none. Do what ye will. Blessed be!" To wiccans it means there are consequences to our actions and we must consider all possibilities before acting. Whatever we do comes back to us by three. Another behavior rule, we do not blame anyone or anything for our mistakes or short comings. We honor and respect life and all of its many manifestations seen or unseen. Our common goal is to live a peaceful and balanced life and way of thinking. To live in harmony.
We believe that the spirit of the One, Goddess and God exist in all things. They exist in the air, trees, animals, and us. Also, we worship the spirits of the elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Water. Combined the elements manifest all creations. From the elements we obtain insight of nature and our own lives. They help us promote the feeling of fulfillment with the divine and all that exists. We celebrate the cycles of nature, lunar phases, and seasons. We do this to strengthen our spirituality. This is our way of worshiping.
We also cast spells. When wiccans cast spells they usually involve healing, love, harmony, wisdom, creativity, and strength. At least my spells do. One of our most well known symbols is the pentagram. It represents the five elements: earth, air, fire, water, spirit. Spirit is the energy vibration attributed to everything. Again, everything is connected to everything.
Wiccans let love and light be our guide. We believe in perfect love and perfect trust. A Wiccan saying is, "Live you must and let live. Fairly take and fairly give".
