    The last quarter moon - the final winding down of this lunar cycle - keywords for the last quarter are: realignment, revision, integration, and cleansing.  It is a the time in a cycle to take closing action, to follow-up and complete the activities begun at the New phase. During this phase you become aware of what is and is not working with respect to the achievement of your goal for the cycle. The movement is towrd integration. Open to your success. MANIFEST YOUR GOAL. Be responsible. 

    In the Seasons of the Witch datebook today carries minor magickal energies for doing rites and spells to banish sickness/addiction... Use this last quarter (fourth quarter of the lunar phase) for banishing and driving things away like negative thoughts and energies, and to remove things like bad habits.

Banishment Chants:

Nine Sisters Chant

   To be recited nine times over a wound, tumor, or infection three times a day for twenty-one days (or less should the wound close quickly). This Anglo-Saxon leechbook chant can also be used repetitively to remove evil from the home as the household is sprinkled with holy water and censed with a burning banishment herb, such as sage.

Nine were Noththe's sisters.

Then the nine became eight

 and the eight became seven

and the seven became six

and the six became five

and the five became four

and the four became three

and the three became two

and the two became one

and the one became none.

   Follow by drawing the equal-armed cross in the air and saying "it is so."
