New Moon Ritual: Sow Your Seed

The new moon is the dark, quiet place where everything new begins. Here you sow what you wish to see grow.

You will need
  • Paper and pen, a candle if you like.
How to
  1. Sit in stillness, ideally at dusk. Ask yourself: what do I long to give life to in this moon cycle?
  2. Write down one wish, not ten, one. Word it as if it is already happening, for example: I give my body rest.
  3. Hold the paper to your heart and speak the words.
  4. Keep the paper somewhere you see it daily. At the next full moon, read it again and feel what has taken root.

New moon, you who begin in the dark, receive my seed. I water it with my choices, day by day, until the moon stands full again.
