New Moon Intention Setting Ritual

📚 What You'll Need

• White or silver candle
• Journal and pen (black ink preferred)
• Crystal of your choice (aligned to your intention)
• Small seed or acorn (symbol of potential)

✨ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Find a quiet space after sunset on the New Moon. Light your candle — the sole light source if possible.
2. Hold your crystal and take 10 deep breaths. Clear your mind of the previous cycle's clutter.
3. In your journal, write: 'On this New Moon, I plant these seeds of intention:' — then list 3-5 specific goals for the coming lunar cycle (28 days).
4. For each intention, write it as if it's already happening: 'I am attracting...' not 'I want to attract...'
5. Hold the seed in your hand. Transfer your intentions into it — feel the energy of your goals flowing from your heart to the seed.
6. Say: 'Dark moon, new beginning. Seed planted, life winning. As this moon grows, so grows my intention. What I plant tonight reaches fruition.'
7. Place the seed on your altar or plant it in soil (literally planting your intention). As the moon waxes, tend to your intentions daily.
8. Revisit your journal at the Full Moon to check progress. Release what hasn't manifested at the next New Moon and set fresh intentions.
