Monday is traditionally associated with the Moon, which is linked to intuition, emotions, and the subconscious. Because of this, Monday is often considered a good day for magickal practices that focus on emotional healing, finding inner peace, and restoring balance in your life or home. The Moon’s influence is also thought to support intentions related to fertility, nurturing family relationships, caring for pets, and tending to your living space. If you are starting a new project, planting seeds—either literally or as a metaphor for new beginnings—or hoping to encourage growth in any area, the energy of Monday may be helpful. On this day, it can be beneficial to pay attention to your intuition and trust your instincts, as the Moon is believed to encourage listening to your inner voice and honoring your emotional needs.
When the Moon is waning, its energy is often used for banishing and releasing. This phase is considered suitable for clearing away negativity, whether it is in your home, your personal energy, or your magickal tools. Negative energy can build up during daily life, much like small burs that stick to clothing, and may be carried into your living space and belongings. To help clear this energy, you might try a cleansing ritual with moon water. Sprinkling moon water around your home—especially near doorways, windows, and corners—can help refresh the space. Adding a sprig of loosestrife or another herb known for bringing peace may enhance the effect. While cleansing, you could recite a simple incantation such as:
Blessed water, wash away
Gloom, chaos and disarray
Bring to me, joy, love and light
Let shall stay from day to night
This practice may help restore calm and invite positive energy into your environment.
To further support a peaceful space, burning sandalwood incense is a common choice, as it is valued for its purifying and protective qualities. Allowing the smoke to move through each room, especially where the energy feels heavy, can be helpful. It is also a good idea to include your magickal tools in this process, since they can absorb unwanted energies over time. Regular cleansing helps keep your tools effective and aligned with your intentions.
Monday is also a suitable day for self-reflection and spiritual growth. Setting aside time for meditation can encourage inner peace, increase self-awareness, and help you connect with lunar energies. Wearing silver jewelry, which is traditionally associated with the Moon, may serve as a subtle reminder to trust your intuition. Burning jasmine incense is another way to work with Monday’s energy, as it is believed to attract love, support prosperity, and encourage meaningful dreams. If possible, spending a few moments outside under the night sky and absorbing the Moon’s light can be a simple but powerful way to seek guidance and inspiration as you continue your witchcraft journey.
