New Moon: Manifesting, renewal, beginnings, initiation, planting seeds, self reflection, growth, inner work, hope, cleansing

New Moon energy is new energy! One of the ways I like to make way for new moon energy is cleansing my space. Dust off the altar, open the windows, sweep and mop the floor with a herbal floor wash. Cleansing both physically and energetically will make space for a new kind of energy to come in.

After your space is cleaned and clear, prepare yourself with a cup of herbal tea. Choose herbs that are specific to what your body needs at the moment (nervines, hormone support). Light your new moon candle and get out your journal.

Take some time to reflect on the recent past. What has not been working for you? Meditate on this. Allow yourself to rest and listen to the inner callings of your mind and soul. Look into your candle and visualize the fire "burning" away what no longer serves you. Pay close attention to the thoughts that come up and take a moment to reflect on each one. Make a conscious choice to keep the ones that serve your highest good and are in alignment with what you truly want.

Journaling is a powerful way to state your intentions into the physical. You can also write them down on paper and bury them in the dirt and plant them into the ground like seeds

Botanical Blend

Beeswax: Beeswax burns clean and doesn't produce the same soot and toxins as paraffin candles. When burned, beeswax releases negative ions that can help purify the air by neutralizing pollutants and allergens. Beeswax burns for much longer than other types of candles, due to its higher melting point and slower burn rate. This means you can enjoy the warm glow and sweet honey aroma for longer. This natural scent is gentle and soothing, and is free from any fragrance. Beeswax is also a completely natural material that is sustainably sourced from beeswax combs.

Soy Wax: First and foremost, soy wax is made from natural soybeans, which makes it a renewable and biodegradable resource. It is a sustainable option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and make eco-friendly choices. Another advantage of soy wax is its clean and long burn. Soy wax candles do not produce black soot or emit harmful toxins into the air, making soy wax a healthier option for the home.

Witchcraft honoring the moon

Finally, the waning moon is a time for banishing negativity and releasing what no longer serves. Moon rituals can involve various practices, including moon bathing, where practitioners bathe in moonlight to absorb its energy. Others may perform moon meditations, where they connect with the moon's energy through visualizations and intention-setting. Some witches may create moon water by charging water under the moonlight, which is then used for various purposes, such as cleansing and spell work. Honoring the moon in witchcraft often involves creating and following lunar calendars to align magical workings with the moon's phases. Many witches also incorporate moon symbolism into their altars and rituals, such as using moon-shaped symbols and candles. Some witches may even conduct their spell work outside under the moonlight, harnessing its potent energy. The practice of witchcraft honoring the moon is a deeply personal and spiritual experience. It provides a way for witches to connect with the natural cycles of the world and harness the power of the moon for magical workings and personal growth. Through honoring the moon, witches seek to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves, the universe, and the interconnectedness of all things..
