New Moon Intention Setting Ritual

Steps

1. Sit in the darkness of the new moon evening. Light one black candle (for the fertile dark, the void of potential) and one white candle (for the light being born).
2. Hold moonstone in your hands and sit quietly for five minutes, releasing the previous month and emptying your mental space.
3. In your journal, write three to five intentions for the coming month. Phrase them in present tense as if already true.
4. Read each intention aloud to the candles — the flames bear witness.
5. Fold the paper toward you and sleep with it under your pillow until the full moon.
6. Take one small concrete action toward each intention within 48 hours of setting it — this grounds the magic in reality.
