I used to cast all my spells late at night, however, I am trying to fight insomnia by getting up early in the morning and getting to bed before midnight. This is such a basic question and I feel really stupid for asking, but I have never been faced with it before, so I am wondering if I really need to wait for the light of the moon to do my spell work? Would it be just as effective in the afternoon or early in the morning? Or does time of day have a significant effect on spellwork? I should add that doing spellwork earlier in the evening is not an option because my DP is home, and I just do not feel comfortable doing spells in front of him. We live in a studio-like home, so there isn't another room where I could be alone.
Hey,
in my experience, all these correspondences, whether time of day, colour, incense, flowers, etc. are nice to get you in tune with what you are doing, but they are not particularly necessary.
An example: If you're casting a healing spell and need something that helps you focus, you could use blue candles, lavender flowers and so on and cast it in those restful hours in the early evening. But if you don't need some burning-glass equivalent, there is no one who would try to force you

And don't worry, there are many reasons why magic succeeds or does not succeed, and not all of them are in your power
