The Ritual

New moon rituals are about starting a new cycle and looking forward. What do we want to achieve? How can we prepare ourselves to be ready for this new reality?

We use this time to connect with the divine feminine and to look within as well as without. Begin your ritual by taking a cleansing bath or shower. Envision the water washing the stress, fear, and negativity you've been holding onto down the drain. When you are done, set up your candle and ritual space, preferably in an area where you can see and connect with the moon. You may wish to cleanse the area before starting.

Light your candle and begin your ritual by focusing on the flame. Allow yourself to connect with the energy of the universe and the divine feminine, and reflect on your intentions. When you are ready, gather a pen, a piece of paper, and a cauldron or other fire-safe bowl. Write out what you wish to manifest on a piece of paper, as though it has already happened (ex: "I am grateful for the financial security and abundance in my life"). Read each intention aloud, taking a moment to imagine how you will feel once it has come to pass, use the candle's flame to light the intention, and let it burn in your bowl.

Since the new moon is a powerful time for shadow work, you may also wish to use this energy to practice divination, ancestral work, or meditation.

Additional Notes

Which sign the moon is in might also impact how you perform your ritual. For example, when the moon is in Pisces, a water sign, the energy is dreamy and a perfect time to use water to divine or to focus on our dreams (both waking and sleeping); whereas when the moon is in Leo, a fire sign, the energy is intense and better for using fire to manifest and release.

How To Use

We recommend burning your candle for at least two hours on the first use. When burning for the first time, allow the wax to melt to the edge of the glass. Trim the candle wick before each use to approximately 1/4" (5mm). We recommend burning candles for approximately 4 hours at a time. Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of drafts, fabric, pets, or small children. Candle vessel will be hot after burning, so allow the wax to cool completely before handling.
