Full Moon Prayers


As we are swiftly approaching this March’s Full Moon I thought it would be nice to post some prayers and chants you may wish to incorporate into your ritual on Thursday.

Some are specifically for Full Moons and others just seem appropriate for the night in question.

If you have any you would like to share, please by all means add as a comment and I shall include them in a future post. The first one ‘Blessed Goddess’ is one I have written myself to be spoken after I have placed my magical tools in the Full Moons rays to be cleansed.

N.B: To visit the source pages simply click on each prayers title.

Blessed Goddess
By Pagan Hare

Blessed Goddess 
Of the Moon
Cleanse and purify
My magical tools

Cleanse them of negativity
With your silvery rays
Energize them with your
Purifying powers

So that they may
Instill purity and love
In all that I do

So Mote It Be


This prayer has a small ritual for the night. Click on ‘Main Prayer’ to be take to the page.

Main Prayer 

Lady,
Blessed Lady of the night
who doth the silver-orb'ed
moon convey,
guide me with Your inner light
and lead me on Your Sacred Way/

Within Your eyes reside the mysteries
that spark my longings into fire.
Passions newly freed
envelop me
and shape my soul to
Your desire.

The silvered moon, token of
unceasing change,
resides within my living heart,
while magic fills me,
wild and strange,
and weds me to Your sacred art.

This next prayer is for any spells you do on the night to help make them more potent.

Full Moon Phase 

Abundant Mother,
Moon so bright
Hear my plea upon this night.
Your fertile power lend this spell;
Make it potent, strong and well.

This next prayer comes from a gentleman who is working on illustrations created for his personal art journals of pagan prayers, blessings and spells and he’s been posting the pages on his Deviantart page. They are his own work, so please do not copy them, but do take a look, they’re beautiful.

Full Moon Prayer 
By Brightstone

With your soothing rays of light
wipe away the lines that
worries have etched on to my face.

Surround me with calm and
let me rest in the glow of peace,
encircled me with
the Moon's own light.

Let my concerns and tensions drain away
from me, pouring as water into the Earth.

Accept my troubles
and transform them into wonders.


For this next prayer, stand in her rays and say these words so that you may cleanse yourself.

Cleansing Prayer 
By Lidia Frederico

I cleanse myself of all
selfishness, resentment,
critical feelings for my fellow
beings, self-condemnation,
and misinterpretation of my
life experiences.
I bathe myself in generosity,
Appreciation, praise and
gratitude for my fellow
beings, self-acceptance, and
enlightened understanding of
my life experiences.



This Buddhist Prayer for forgiveness is a nice one to meditate on the Full Moon

A Buddhist Prayer of Forgiveness 
(Author Unknown) 

If I have harmed anyone in any way
either knowingly or knowingly
through my own confusions
I ask their forgiveness.
If anyone has harmed me in any way
either knowingly or unknowingly
through their own confusions
I forgive them.
And if there is a situation 
I am not yet ready to forgive
I forgive myself for that.
For all the ways that I harm myself,
negate, doubt, belittles myself,
judge or be unkind to myself
through my own confusions
I forgive myself.


Found this lovely blessing on Pinterest

Full Moon Blessings 
(Author Unknown) 

On this Night may the 
Full Moon shine upon your house. 
May it find you Safe and Sound, 
May she Bless Everything around, 
and May the Goddess keep Us in Her arms. 
Full Moon Blessings.

Here’s a lovely wish prayer for the Full Moon by Mary Jac

A Full Moon Wish 
By Mary Jac

"I wish, I wish, upon the moon,
That my wishes will be granted soon,
These are the things I ask of you –
A happy home, and good health too,
a wealth of friends and peace of mind,
and that special love that’s hard to find.
Dispel my worries, allay my fears,
protect my loved ones and keep them near.
Please keep me safe, with those I love
and bless my life from up above."

This final prayers original author was an American called Reinhold Niebuhr. It has been changed a little over time and I changed God to goddess as I felt it fitted this best.

Serenity Prayer

Goddess, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference

And Finally

On a final note the Full Moon is an excellent time for making wishes, prayers and spells as it is said that the Moon is at her most powerful. So if you are able to take the time to do some of these things, as well as leaving out your magical tools, such as tarot, crystals and wands, for the Moons rays to cleanse and instil her powerful energies, then do.

There are many wonderful sites about the internet that show you some wonderful Full Moon rituals for both solitary and groups. Go and have a look around. And may all that you wish for be granted by the Gods
