I honor the full moon, and try to connect with it each month. One way I do this is by making my monthly batch of "moon water".
I have a lovely three-sided bottle made from recycled glass. It's a barely-there pale green about the size of a regular wine bottle. I fill this with filtered water, and bring it outside when the moon is full. Then, holding it up to the sky, I draw down the moon and charge the water with its energies. I establish a connection between the moon, my spirit, and the water, and allow the energies of the goddess to fill me and the bottle.
Weather permitting, I leave the bottle out all night to continue the moon bath. Voila. Moon Water, fully charged and ready for use. I use this water throughout the month for cleansings, healings, and any ritual use that requires water or lunar energies. Left over water can be saved or used as a libation at the next full moon. It's a nice way to connect to the lunar energies each month.
Any clear glass bottle can be used. Keep in mind that the color of the glass will help charge the water with those energies. I like the pale green shade of my bottle because I so often use my moon water for healing, and the green color resonates with that use. (I also make “solar water” by charging it in red glass in the sunlight.) I also sometimes drape the bottle with stone necklaces or other jewelry to participate in the charging process.
If you are so inclined, you can also check the sign the moon is full in. That will also add its own subtle influence to the water. One year there was a lunar eclipse when the moon was full in cancer (the sign of its rulership.) That was some potent moon water, and I saved some of that batch for a long time for special uses.
