The New Moon is a time of new beginnings in witchcraft. It is a time to set intentions for the month ahead, and to plant the seeds of your desires. The new moon is also a time for cleansing and purification, as it is the start of a new lunar cycle.

There are many different ways to celebrate the new moon. Some people like to create a ritual space, cleanse the space physically and then smoke / sage, setting their intentions for the month ahead. Others like to meditate on their manifestations, or write them down in a journal. Still others like to create a spell or charm to help further manifest their desires.

No matter how you choose to celebrate the new moon, it is a powerful time for magic. The new moon is a time to let go of the old and to welcome the new. It is a time to start fresh, and to create the life you desire.

Here are some ideas for new moon rituals:

∆ Create a ritual space. This could be as simple as clearing a space in your home and setting out some candles, crystals, or other objects that have meaning to you.

∆ Cleanse the space. You can do this by smudging with sage or palo santo, or by using a sound bath or other cleansing method.

∆ Set your intentions. Take some time to think about what you want to manifest in the coming month. Write your intentions down on paper, or speak them aloud.

∆ Meditate on your intentions. Close your eyes and focus on your intentions. Visualize yourself achieving your goals, and feel the positive emotions that come with success.

∆ Create a spell or charm.

∆ Release the old. Once you have set your intentions, it is important to release the old. This could mean forgiving yourself or others, letting go of negative emotions, or simply letting go of anything that is no longer serving you.

The new moon is a powerful time for magic. I encourage you to create a ritual that is meaningful to you and that will help manifest your desires. ♥️

Here are some additional tips for new moon rituals:

∆ Choose a time that works for you. The new moon occurs at different times each month, so find a time that works for your schedule. If you want to get deep, you can look up planetary charts to peep the hours.

∆ Invite friends or family. For some of us this is DEFINITELY not applicable (much less desirable!) BUUUUT If you are comfortable doing so, inviting friends or family to join you for your ritual can be an amazing bonding experience.

∆ Be creative. There is no right or wrong way to celebrate the new moon. Be creative and have fun with your ritual.
