Moon magic is some of the most powerful in the universe. Learning to move with the Universal flow of energy can save you hours of manifesting time and energy. Here’s a simple New Moon ritual to jump start your efforts.
Pen (black or blue), or colorful markers, or crayons, or any writing instrument except pencil
Paper
WHAT TO DO
As always, begin by giving thanks for the blessings you already have.
Light the green candle and place on a stable surface
Make a list of 7 people to whom you feel grateful, or who make you happy.
Looking at the list, send loving-kindness to those people.
Make a list of 10 intentions you’d like to make manifest over the next four weeks. Feel free to add drawings, doodles, and any other symbols of your wishes. Be as vague or detailed as you wish. Remember, magic is fueled by your energy so the more energy you put in, the more you’ll get in return.
Remembering that it is ‘feeling’ that makes real magic, read through your wish list; see and feel the feelings of that wish coming true. Spend time in that space, allowing those feelings to penetrate throughout your entire being.
Make another list of affirmations; one supporting each of your wishes. (For example, I am happy and safe in my new home; I am the proud owner of a (color, name, make, model of car); I am thriving, secure, and overjoyed in my new relationship.).
Return to your wish list. Assign a percentage of the likelihood of each wish coming true. (60/100; 40/100; 30/100). This will help you to identify which wishes will require extra effort on your part. Remember, your belief in the outcome is as important as any of these steps.
Read through your list again and think about what you ‘intend’ to do to make it come true. (Take a 2nd job to make extra money toward the purchase of your new home; ask friends to introduce you to potential love interests, etc.).
Meditate for 15 minutes as you release your dreams out to the Universe.
End your meditation by saying something like, “these things or more for the highest good of everyone involved, causing harm to none).
Over the next four weeks, PUT IN THE WORK! Do what you can to make your wishes come true.
At the next Full Moon, retrieve your wish list and read it over. Check off any wishes that came true. Give thanks to the Universe. If there are wishes that seem stagnant, think about revising them or what actions you can take to get closer to your desire.)
With each New Moon and Full Moon, you can continue to add to and update this list, complete with what you intend to do to make them come true.

I close this day with pure joy and now drift into a sound sleep.
Anyone can be hit with bouts of low self-esteem. It may be triggered by a criticism, an old, untrue belief about oneself, or programmed in through self-abuse and abuse inflicted by others. Some of us are internalizing the ills of America right now and feeling attacked by the patriarchy that works against our freedom and independence. Healthy self-esteem must be cultivated and nurtured on an ongoing basis. This bath should be done once monthly for 13 months during the crescent moon. It supports the release of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and energy, while inviting self-acceptance, self-love, and a shift in perspective from negative to positive.
1 tbs. artemisia
1 tbs. marcela
1 liter filtered water
7 rose petals
Beat and strain 7 rose petals
Pour water into a relaxing bath
After stepping out of the tub, sprinkle rose petals from heat to toe.
It’s easy to feel out of control when Mercury goes retrograde. The topsy-turvy feel of old messes resurfacing, static-riddled communication, and stagnation. This ritual brings grounding and clarity, and helps ‘even out’ energy during this harried time.
Black or white chime candle
Fire-safe dish
Olive oil (good because it is energy-neutral)
Cinnamon
Salt
Pen and paper
Straight pin (to draw on candle)
WHAT TO DO
List 5 things you’d like to release during this retrograde. Think: Where do you feel blocked? Where would like a second chance? Has something unwanted returned to you? List these items.
If you cannot think of 5 things, write a prayer or request.
Write your full name in a circle around your list. Fold away from you and set aside.
Use the straight pin to carve the symbol of Algiz into the candle, representing protection). If preferred, use another symbol that is meaningful to you.
Anoint the candle by applying oil to your fingertips on both hand and moving from the center upward, and from the center downward.
Roll the candle in cinnamon. Melt the bottom just a bit and stand the candle upright in the middle of the fireproof dish.
Sprinkle a circle of salt around the candle.
Light the candle and say:
Circle back so I can see,
with clearer eyes, then release thee.
Unknot these ties, my lesson’s learned.
Release these burdens, let them burn.
Burn your list over the candle’s flame, dropping the paper into the fireproof dish to fully incinerate to ashes.
Allow the candle to burn out completely.
Use this spell to create a protective perimeter around your home. This spell is most powerful during a waning moon phase. Start with a good house cleaning, including a magickal front porch wash. The purpose is to invite and welcome positive energy while also blocking negative or disruptive energy. I like to refresh protection spells at least twice yearly.
ITEMS NEEDED
1 tbs. carrier oil
3 pinches salt
1 whole clove
1 sage smudge bundle
WHAT TO DO
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix using the tips of your fingers.
Starting at the back of the house, light the smudge bundle an draft the smoke around the doorframe.
Using your fire finger, dip into the oil mixture and trace a line in the air around the doorframe.
Dip into the oil again. This time, touch the lower right corner of the doorframe and trace around to the lower left corner.
If your door has a lintel, dip your fingers into the oil again and touch the center of the lintel. Draw a line in the air down the middle of the doorway.
Say:
No evil or illness may cross this threshold.
I hereby bar it from entering.
My home is sacred and protected.
Repeat these steps as you move clockwise around the house, enchanting every doorway and window.
Have you suspected that someone has worked magick against you and you need to break the curse? This ritual/spell will break the curse. Repeat daily until you feel freed from harm. These steps must be performed directly by the person afflicted by the curse.
5 White Candles
1 Black candle
Take five white candles and arrange them in a pentagram
Place a black candle, which symbolizes the curse, in its center.
The ones afflicted by the curse must speak and repeat these words 7 times:
Evil curse that blights our lives,
Be lifted now and flee.
These candles' lights overcome the dark,
From its grasps, set us free.
This spell is for anyone in a relationship that is losing its spark and facing challenges with holding the relationship together. I strongly recommend caution when performing love spells. Make sure that both parties truly want to be in the relationship, and that ask for an outcome that is toward the highest and greatest good of all involved.
Rose Quartz Crystal
Sit comfortably with both feet on the ground so that you are well-grounded.
Hold the rose quartz in the palm of your hand. Imagine it is pulsating in sync with your heartbeat. Feel its energy.
Do an emotional self-check. How dies this make you feel. Are you sad? Angry? Hurt? Afraid? Anything you feel is perfectly okay.
Enter into an agreement with the stone and ask it to purify and remove any unpleasant and unwanted energy.
Recall a time when you were most happy in the relationship. Allow yourself to feel the love, safety, comfort, and warmth of that time.
Say these words:
Love is warm, love is sweet.
Bring this relationship so me new hear.
Help us feel some spice tonight,
If this match is truly right.
Remind us of what drew us here,
And let that desire sound Loud and clear.
This spell may cause shifts immediately, or over some time. Repeat the spell every night until you reach your desired outcome. The stone can be worn close to your body or kept under your pillow as you sleep.
Probably one of the most frustrating things that we may or may not have control over is allergies. Regardless of your age, weight, and race.

Either this or your allergies appear when you’re around house pets, certain plants that bloom, freshly cut grass, or when you’re in an area filled with dust.

When it comes to essential oils, regardless of the research you’ve done and how amazing it might seem, it’s always important to keep your doctor in the loop.
