The new moon is the perfect time to set new intentions for the weeks ahead.
“It’s best channeled in dreams, meditation, ceremony, and ritual.
The new moon is a fresh start.
With it comes the energy of new beginnings, the start of a new lunar cycle.”
Point being that the new moon is a pretty ideal time to ignite your deepest desires.
Start off by choosing your candle.
It’s best to go with one that is loose, not confined to a jar.
Cleanse your candle with intention.
Bonus: This will also make your space smell amazing for the ritual to come.
Now it’s time to infuse your candle with an intention for the upcoming moon cycle.
What are your hopes and dreams for the next few weeks?
How can you navigate this moon period with strength and authenticity?
Inscribe this onto your candle.
Dress your candle with essential oils.
This is where the ritual really gets started.
Do the same thing working downward.
Surround your candle with anearth or water elementto balance out its fire.
Light the candle while saying a prayer or reciting your intentionwhatever feels right to you.
I also like to honor all directions of north, east, south, and west when lighting mine.
Thenand this is important!let it burn out.
You never want to blow out your candle since you’re essentially blowing out your intention!
Common sense applies here.
Oils and herbs are flammable, so don’t leave your candle burning unsupervised.
I like using quick-burning candles that will burn in a matter of hours for this reason.
And once it’s out, it’s on you to bring your dreams to life.
