The Scorpio Shadow Ritual | Moon Shine Spills
Share
As the moon dissolves into darkness and Scorpio takes the sky, we’re invited to step inward — into the places we rarely shine light. The New Moon in Scorpio arrives on November 20, 2025, at 4:47 a.m. CT, calling us to begin again from a place of truth, depth, and emotional rebirth.
This is the time to release old wounds, hidden fears, and heavy energies that cling beneath the surface — and to plant new intentions rooted in strength, clarity, and personal power. Because this Scorpio moon falls on a Thursday, the day ruled by expansive Jupiter, the best time to perform this ritual is during the Hour of Jupiter, when intuition, insight, and spiritual growth are magnified.
🌑 The Scorpio Shadow Set
Each handmade piece in this Moon Shine Spills ritual collection embodies the mystery and transformative power of Scorpio — swirling tones of plum, garnet, and obsidian, accented with silver mica like moonlight glinting off deep water.
Together, they form a sacred altar for your New Moon ritual, supporting rebirth, shadow integration, and empowered intention-setting.
✨ Scorpio Pagan Calendar — The Wheel of Rebirth
This piece anchors your ritual energy, symbolizing cycles of death, release, rebirth, and evolution.
Place it at the center of your altar as your grounding base. Its cosmic layout aligns your work with the lunar tides and Scorpio’s depth.
🕯️ Catch-All Tray — The Shadow Work Vessel
Use this as your ritual workspace — the place where intentions are written, releases are held, and smoke or ashes may rest.
Its dark, shimmering colors echo the underworld waters where transformation begins.
🌬️ Incense Holder — The Breath of Renewal
Burn incense here to represent the element of air carrying your fears, old patterns, and emotional residue into the unseen.
As the smoke rises, visualize it pulling heaviness from your spirit and dissolving it into the ether.
💧 Three Tiny Bowls — Elements of Transformation
Use them to hold symbolic ingredients:
- Water for emotional cleansing
- Fire for ignition and release
- Earth for grounding and stabilization
Their colors shimmer like hidden gems in the dark — small but potent vessels of alchemy.
🜂 Scorpio Pendant — The Rebirth Talisman
When your ritual is complete, wear this pendant as a charm of protection, intuition, and renewal.
It holds both darkness and glimmer — a reminder that your power deepens when you face your shadow with courage.

🔥 The Ritual
🌑 Preparation
Cleanse your space with incense smoke or sound.
Light your incense to call in the spirits of intuition and truth.
Place your pagan calendar at the center of your altar.
Arrange your tiny bowls around it — Water, Fire, Earth.
Set your pendant on the calendar to charge.
Hold your Fire bowl’s candle and say:
“From shadow to spark, I begin again.
With clarity and courage, I step into my next form.”
Light the candle, letting its flame illuminate the darkness before you.
🌘 Step 1: Release
On Slip A, write what must be released:
old wounds, fears, patterns, emotional heaviness, attachments
anything that dims your power
Read your words aloud once.
Hold the slip over the incense smoke and say:
“What I release returns to the dark to be transformed.”
Burn or tear Slip A safely, letting its ashes fall into the Earth bowl or your catch-all tray.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt or herbs over it as you say:
“I release. I cleanse. I rise.”
🌒 Step 2: Intend
On Slip B, write your intention for rebirth — something rooted in strength, intuition, or emotional truth.
(Example: I trust my power and move with purpose.)
Hold Slip B to your heart with a crystal (obsidian or garnet) on top and speak three times:
“From the depths, I rise renewed.
From stillness, I reclaim my power.
By moon and shadow, I make it so.”
Pass Slip B through the candle’s warmth (not the flame).
Place it on the Scorpio Pagan Calendar to charge under the New Moon.
🌑 Step 3: Ground and Seal
Dip your fingers into the Water bowl and touch your forehead and heart.
Feel cleansing ripple through you.
Touch the Earth bowl (salt or herbs) and visualize roots forming beneath your feet.
Say:
“I am grounded in truth.
What is meant for me grows.
What is not dissolves.”
Allow your candle to burn for 15–30 minutes.
Snuff it gently to keep the energy contained.
✨ Optional Boosts
Shadow Sigil: Draw a small spiral or Scorpio glyph on your intention slip.
Water Scrying: Gaze into the Water bowl for intuitive messages.
Pendant Charging: Leave your pendant on the pagan calendar overnight for maximum potency.
🌑 Closing Reflection
Hold your Scorpio Pendant in your hands.
Feel the depth, power, and quiet wisdom Scorpio offers.
Imagine a soft silver light filling your heart — calm, steady, reborn.
Your transformation has already begun.
Affirmation:
“From darkness, I rise — powerful, clear, and whole.”
