witching hour The hour of midnight on the night of the full moon. This is a time of transformation and change and the height of witches’ spell-casting powers. The roots of this notion go back to ancient times, to the worship of goddesses associated with the moon, fertility and witchcraft. As the moon waxes in its phases, so do the powers associated with it and its deities, until they culminate at the full moon.
