Everything Under the Moon

Does anyone know how long a New Moon or Full Moon last for rituals?

I read somewhere that it very short and the new moon begins waning as soon as it reaches the dark and a full moon begins waxing as soon as it reaches full. The books I have don’t mention it.

For a full moon you pretty much have 2 or 3 days before and after. I don't know for sure with a new moon, but it's probably the same.

Thanks for the info!

how or where would one find out when which phases are taking place. keeping in mind i am in the southern hemisphere, not too sure if it affects it but just in case.

the web site wiccanway.com has the moon phases on the home page. The times for the exact phase in your part of the world might be on a local weather site. Good luck.

I like LunaBar. It's is a nifty little program that shows the moon phase and other astrological information in your taskbar. It's very convenient and free to download. If you're interested, here is the website: http://infra-azure.org/lunabar/downloads.html

i find this one very useful... been able to plan in advance is very nice...
