🌙 THE RITUAL

Arrange Your Ritual Tools

Choose your altar surface.
Place the candle in the center.
Set three bowls around it for moon water, crystals, and herbs.
Place a dish or tray nearby for your written intention.
Place your incense holder nearby if using.

Add the Elements

Moon Water
Touch your forehead or heart lightly.
Invite clarity and openness into your awareness.

Crystals
Hold a stone briefly and imagine it helping you see the bigger picture.
Place it near the candle.

Herbs
Sprinkle a small pinch around the candle or space, welcoming growth, truth, and momentum.
Use what you have — intention leads the way.

Prepare Your Space

Light incense if using and allow the smoke to drift gently.
Say:
“I open this space to clarity, expansion, and truth.”

Connect with the New Moon

Hold the candle and visualize the dark sky filled with potential.
See your intentions as stars not yet visible, waiting to be born.

Say:
“As the moon begins anew, I welcome new paths, new visions, and new possibilities.”

Light the Candle

Place the candle back on your altar and light it.

Reflect quietly on:
• What new chapter am I ready to begin?
• Where am I being called to grow or explore?
• What truth am I ready to honor?

Charge Your Pendant or Talisman

Hold your pendant (or wearable charm) in both hands.
Let the candlelight illuminate it as your breath slows and steadies.

Say or think:
“I infuse this pendant with vision, courage, and trust in my path.”
“May it guide me toward expansion and alignment as I move forward.”

Visualize the pendant absorbing:
○ The potential of the New Moon
○ The clarity of the crystals
○ The inspiration of the herbs
○ The activating energy of the flame

When it feels ready, place the pendant beside the candle to finish charging.
You may wear it starting the next day or throughout the waxing moon as a reminder of your intentions.

✍️ Journal Your Intentions

Write freely — don’t edit or judge.

Possible prompts:
• What do I want more of in my life right now?
• Where am I being called to aim higher?
• What belief or limit am I ready to release?
• What does my future self want me to begin?

Fold your page and place it on your intention dish.
Say:
“I plant these intentions with trust and purpose.”

Plant the Intention

Focus on the flame.
Say:
“I now begin ____________________.”
“I choose expansion. I choose truth. I choose forward movement.”

Close the Ritual

When you feel complete, extinguish the candle gently.
Leave your written intention on your altar overnight or until the First Quarter Moon.
Carry or wear your pendant as a symbol of your commitment to the path unfolding.

Take a quiet moment to honor the courage it takes to begin.
