🌿 Ingredients
• White candle
• Journal and pen
• Small fireproof bowl
• Bay leaves (for wishes)
• Sandalwood or cedar incense
• Moonstone or labradorite
• Glass of fresh spring water
• Sea salt
• White flowers (optional)
• Essential oil blend (lavender, frankincense, myrrh)
📜 Instructions
1. Wait until after sunset on the New Moon (moon is not visible).
2. Create sacred space by lighting the candle and incense.
3. Place the crystal and glass of water on your altar or workspace.
4. In your journal, write a list of everything you want to release: habits, fears, relationships, patterns.
5. Be specific and honest - this is between you and the universe.
6. When complete, say: "Under this dark moon, I release all that no longer serves my highest good."
7. Tear out the pages with your release list.
8. Safely burn the pages in your fireproof bowl, watching old energy transform through fire.
9. As they burn, visualize those things leaving your life completely.
10. Take the bay leaves and write your new intentions on them (one word per leaf).
11. Hold each bay leaf, charging it with your desire, then burn it in the candle flame.
12. Mix the ashes with sea salt and a few drops of water to create a paste.
13. Anoint your wrists, heart, and third eye with the essential oil blend.
14. Drink the glass of water slowly, visualizing it filling you with clean, fresh energy.
15. Place the crystal under your pillow that night to receive New Moon dreams and guidance.
16. Scatter the ash-salt mixture outside at sunrise, feeding your intentions to the earth.
💡 Tips & Variations
• Keep your written intentions brief and positive - "I am" statements work best.
• If weather prevents outdoor ash scattering, bury them in a potted plant instead.
• Journal your New Moon releases monthly to track patterns over time.
• Combine with a cleansing bath before the ritual for maximum effectiveness.
• Leave offerings of milk and honey outside for moon deities.
• Fast for 12 hours before New Moon rituals for deeper spiritual cleansing (if able).
• White or black candles both work - white for purity, black for banishing.
• This is also an excellent time to cleanse divination tools and ritual items.
• New Moon is also ideal for job hunting, starting new projects, and beginning healing work.
• Follow with Full Moon manifestation work for complete lunar cycle magic.
