    Mason jars or other glass containers with lids are a perfect choice. Colored or tinted containers could prevent energy from seeping into the water, but the type of container you use is completely up to you. [1]
    • Make sure to use clean, safe water if you’re planning on consuming your moon water. [2]

    Set an intention for the water. Hold the container of water in your hands and close your eyes. Imagine a specific want or goal coming true. Your intention will give the water purpose and a reason to take in the moon’s energy. [4]
    • Repeating a mantra or prayer allowed is also a great way to set an intention.
    • For example, your intention could be “I wish to release __” or “I invite __ into my life.” [5]

    Set your container of water out at night in a spot where the moon’s light will touch it. Maybe that’s outside or on a windowsill. [6]
    • When you choose to charge your water is totally up to you, but many witches recommend doing so during a full moon or lunar event, like an eclipse. [7]
    • The phase of the moon and the astrological season will alter the energy of your moon water. [8]
    • For example, you may want to charge moon water under a new moon if you’re looking to create intentions and wishes. [9]
    • If it’s cloudy out, don’t worry! Moon water can still charge in indirect light, but its energetic properties may fade faster.

    Take the water inside before the sun rises. If your charged moon water gets in contact with sunlight, its properties will quickly change. [10]
    • Label your moon water’s container with the moon phase and time it was charged. For example, your label may say something like, “Full Moon in Scorpio, May 2022.”

    Cleanse and charge your crystals with moon water. Many witches place crystals under a full moon to charge, and the same works with moon water. Drop water-safe crystals like quartz, amethyst, and citrine in moon water to infuse them with the moon’s energy.

    Try to store your moon water in a cooler, darker type of place so no other light gets to it. Just be careful if you have other stuff in the bottle (and be careful what you store the water with). You don't want it to grow mold or get rancid!

  • Question
    If I do make moon water, does this make me a freak or a supporter of Satan? Can I make this if I don’t consider myself a witch or are extremely new to witchcraft?

    Community Answer
    Making moon water does not make you a freak or a Satanist or anything like that. Making moon water is a way to manifest creativity and spirituality, not diminish the self. If certain individuals are telling you that you are a freak for experimenting with moon water, calmly explain to them the benefits and spiritual meaning of moon water. If they don't agree, that's on them. Also, you don't have to be a witch to make moon water. Anyone can do it.
