These are very nice sites. Thanks.
I've been there; have you?

I don't think so. I got very close once though.

I have this software: http://www.moonconnection.com/quickphase/

Plus a gadget on my desktop that displays a visual of the moon and a moon phase app on my smart phone.

There's a tradition that when you cast a spell (or set an intention), you might do it in concert with the phases of the moon. If it's something that is meant to increase (such as wanting to manifest more money, or become pregnant, or gain confidence or any other thing), you cast at the new moon, and allow the growth of the moon to symbolise that increase. Similarly, if you intend to reduce something (losing weight, getting rid of a bad habit, causing an unwanted relationship to dwindle to nothingness, etc.), you cast during the full moon, using the moon as a symbol of whatever it is you want to reduce.

I don't really do that, particularly, but I do use the moon phases to remind me of things in that symbolic kind of way. Right now as the moon increases, so does my personal power (I'm reclaiming it from all sources).

I'd heard that too, which is why I decided to post this. To have a quick resource to look at when the mood strikes me.

I wasn't trying to be funny, I was serious when I asked.
I can trance very easily, twice I went there. I'm not sure if anyone wants to hear details, but I was there.

I might be interested in spells--what exactly is that---

My answer was serious too. Why would you think otherwise?

Spells as in magickal. There are many different schools of magick. Some have a religious overtone, some don't (and most religious rituals are pretty much the same form as magick, which shouldn't really surprise anyone). I've looked into a few of them, tried a few, but eventually came to the conclusion that the steps of the ritual simply serve as a means of focussing your attention and energy, and give you an avenue by which you can be open to receiving or to allow change into your experience.

But, a lot of people enjoy the ritual and it can work for them, so I don't want to sound like I have anything against manifestation by way of ritual.

Full moon phase seems to be a really great time to project. I've found that there is an increase in spontaneous activity during full moons. Was a little skeptical at first, i don't like to admit that the "stars" have influence over my behavior, but it really does seem to have some kind of impact. Not too sure why at this point.

It makes a really great time to do group projections too, since the full moon's impact on projection doesn't seem related to personal belief.There could be something biological about it, outside our beliefs, we are pretty much all made the same. I've had some success projecting with others around full moons but need more experimentation with others.
