Last (Third) Quarter

 

This is the final active phase of the cycle.  As the Moon wanes, it’s energies repel rather than attract making this the perfect phase to begin removing things from your life.  Now is the time to banish and reject negative influences and energies.

Plants are powerful.  Respect the power of essential oils and dilute in carrier oil if using on your skin.  When diffusing, use essential oil sparingly.  Don't overwhelm your senses; essential oils are but one element in your ritual moment.

Create an ambiance that you enjoy and choose scents according to your own taste and intuition.
