Full moon & New Moon celebrations are considered as Esbats. These are times for workings specific to these moon phases.

Full Moon:
The full moon is the time to work on banishing unwanted influences in your life. It is also the time for protection magick & divination. Some say that Full Moon magick can be conjured up for 7 days: 3 days prior to the FM, the night of the FM, & 3 days following. Sometimes, FM magick can take up to one full moon cycle to take effect.

New Moon:
The New Moon is a time to be used for personal growth as well as healing, & blessing a new venture. If done correctly, results are usually seen by the first FM.

The time between the NM & FM is known as the Waxing moon. This is an excellent time for attraction spells & an even better time for this is between the NM & the first quarter.
The time between the FM & NM is called the Waning moon. This is an excellent time to work on banishing things from your life such as negative emotions, diseases, & bad habits.
When you can't see the moon at all is called the Dark of the Moon. This occurs 3 days before the New moon & traditionally, no magick is performed at this time. This is a great time for meditation for relaxation- not magickal purposes.
