A simple, calming ritual to release stagnant energy and welcome fresh intentions during the new moon
✨ Introduction
The new moon is one of the most powerful times for intention-setting, cleansing your energy, and welcoming new beginnings. It represents a fresh start — a blank slate — and invites you to clear out what no longer serves you.
This ritual is simple, gentle, and perfect for both beginners and experienced practitioners. All you need is a quiet space, a candle, a cleansing tool, and a few moments to connect with your intentions.
✨ The Ritual: Step-by-Step
🕯 Step 1 — Cleanse Your Space
Before you begin, gently clear the energy around you. You may use sage, palo santo, incense, sound, or simple mindful breathing. Allow the atmosphere to feel calm, quiet, and open.
✨ Step 2 — Light Your Candle
A small white or black candle works beautifully. As the flame steadies, imagine it burning away old energy and illuminating a fresh path forward.
📝 Step 3 — Write Your Intention
On a small piece of paper, write one clear intention in a positive tone. Examples:
• “I welcome clarity into my life.”
• “I release stress and invite peace.”
• “I am ready for new opportunities.”
🔮 Step 4 — Charge Your Intention
Hold your paper between your hands. Take a slow breath and speak your intention aloud. If you’re using crystals like Selenite, Clear Quartz, Labradorite, or Moonstone, place them on top of your intention to amplify its energy.
💭 Step 5 — Close the Ritual
Fold your intention and place it somewhere meaningful — an altar, a journal, or beside a crystal. Let the candle burn safely for a few minutes while you breathe and ground yourself. When you feel centered, gently extinguish the flame.
