well i was always taught that the full moon last for three days, the day before the day of and the day after. and any moon is beautiful when it shines on a birthday.

I've been told the same while the apex of the full moon is best the day before and after are also fine some rituals may wven suggest that you utilize all three of these 'power' days.

Hey 'yall
I have a friend who has been struggling with insomnia due to nightly nightmares- leading her to not even want to go to sleep, so I have been seeking out spells for peaceful sleep or to rid your self of bad dreams yet with little good results- I'm looking more specifically for a charm or talisman that she can physically have because she is not Wiccan and probably would feel uncomfortable in a ritual- any ideas or helpful references you can lead me to?

And also, what is your favorite site to get spells from, just curious

Also as a side note- I don't know if many of you are into this kind of thing but I have started the Psychic Army if you have psychic abilities or want to talk to people who know to learn more ( includes auras, medium ship, clairvoyance, energy healing etc)

For charms... perhaps a herbal/stone packet? You could charge it with energy, too, efore giving it to her. Lavender and chamomile would both be good options. If you had a small crystal you could toss that in there too.

This is from awhile ago but I thought it might help.

I found a spell to help with Sleep. It's called a Lavender Spell and is used to help aid in restful sleep, and I'll also give a list of herbs that will help aid in sleeping.

Lavender Spell

What you need:

• 1 Lavender scented pillar candle any size
• Matches or lighter
• 1 white unscented candle, 6-8" or 15-20cm in length
• 1 pliable whip of willow of a length to fit over a person if looped
• 1 36" or 90cm length of strong twine
• 1 large bunch of dried chamomile
• 1 large bunch of dried lavender
• 1 roll of florist twine

Timing
Work on the waxing moon to bring rest and on any day but Saturday, ruled by restrictive Saturn.

Casting the Spell
1. Cast a Circle. (If you don't know how to do this, simply PM me and I can give you those steps as well).
2. Light the scented candle and carry it around your circle deosil (clockwise) to scent the area.
3. Light the white candle saying:

The purity of light
Guide the way to gentle sleep
Hence may I be known
For the peace that I keep.

4. Bend the willow into a hoop and fasten it tightly with the twine. Fasten the lavender and chamomile around the willow with the florist twine until the willow hoop is covered with the herbs.
5. Hold the hoop vertical in front of the white candle saying:

Though this circle
I do pass
On the road to
Morpheous
So my spell for sleep
Is blessed.

Pass the hoop over your body from head to toe and step out of it.
6. Hang the hoop over your bed.

Herbs to help promote rest

Chamomile - burn some of the dried herb to help promote sleep
Cinquefolfl - hang a sachet above your bed
Elderberries - place a handful beneath your pillow to help bring rest
Hops - stuff dried hops into your pillow to bring rest
Lavender - burn some of the herb to bring sleep
Lettuce - eat the leaves to fall asleep
Passion Flower - place below the pillow
Peppermint - Simply smell fresh peppermint or a small amount of the oil of crushed peppermint
Rosemary - lay a few sprigs beneath the pillow
Thyme - same as rosemary
Vervain - make an infusion of this herb by soaking it in hot water for several minutes sweeten with honey and drink right before bed. Do not use if pregnant.
