There will be a full moon lighting up the sky tonight—and while some might simply enjoy the view, others are taking part in a growing ritual known as “moon water.”

What Is Moon Water?

“Moon water” is made by placing a sealed container of pure water outside under the moonlight, allowing it to “charge” with what believers describe as the moon’s energy. The idea is that this water can then be used to promote calmness, balance, or connection to nature.

During the last full moon, “how to make moon water” became one of Google’s top-trending “how to make” searches. While the concept of Moon Water has existed for years, it’s gaining extra popularity this year.

Why People Are Doing It

According to those who practice the ritual, moon water offers both physical and spiritual benefits. Hydration is one, duh, of course, but many say it also helps them “feel closer to Mother Gaia” and “in tune with the seasonal flow of nature.” Some even report “unexplainable positive changes” in their lives after using it.

Skeptics Still Have Their Doubts

Not everyone is convinced. Some dismiss the idea as a harmless but silly trend. As one lighthearted observer joked, hospital workers often refer to full moons as “Job Security Night” because strange things tend to happen when the moon is full.
