3 questions: offerings, moon phases, & power of spells
Hey y'all. I feel like I'm always posting questions here but everyone is always so helpful so I guess it's ok. I've got three today:
1. What is the proper way to dispose of an offering after it's, you know, no longer in good shape? I have an apple on my altar right now as a thank you (my brakes went out completely on the freeway about a month ago and I know the only reason we were ok is that the Goddess and God were looking out for me) and it's still in good shape now but I know it will start to get rotten eventually. Is there some proper way to dispose of it then or is it considered ok to just throw it out?
2. How important do you think it is to pay attention to the phases of the moon for spellwork? I usually do most of mine on sabbats cos it seems to me that the energy is strongest then, but all the time in books and on sites I see people talking about needing to do certain types of spells during certain moon phases. Have you found this this something it matters to really pay attention to?
3. So it seems like when I am doing spellwork I have to do the same variations of this one spell over and over and over again (how to help myself get over this person I've been obsessed with for 8 years, if you're wondering). They seem to work for awhile but then things always get bad again. Are there any ways to "boost" your spells, so to speak, or is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks in advance for your help, as always.
