Wolf Moon Protection Ritual (January)

1. Perform this ritual on the January full moon (Wolf Moon), ideally outdoors if weather permits 2. Create a sacred circle with salt, moving clockwise 3. Light your white candle in the center 4. Light pine or cedar incense and let smoke fill your space 5. Hold the black tourmaline and visualize a protective wolf surrounding you 6. Say: "Wolf Moon rising, strong and bright, lend me your protection through winter's night. Guard my home, my heart, my kin, let no harm or danger enter in. As wolves protect their sacred pack, I claim this power, turning harm back." 7. Write down what you need protection from on paper 8. Burn the paper safely in the candle flame 9. Place the black tourmaline near your front door or carry it with you 10. Howl three times to honor the wolf spirits (even a small howl counts!) 11.
