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.

Sandalwood incense
Amber resin
Charcoal disk
Fireproof dish
1 black or gray candle (for protection)

Grind together 1 tsp. each of sandalwood, amber, and the remainder of the vanilla bean. You can do this with a mortar and pestle or using the backside of a spoon.
Burn the mixture on a piece of charcoal.

Rub the set-aside piece of vanilla bean in your palm until the gentle friction releases the aroma.

Think about the goodness in your life and the wonderful future ahead.

“La lune, goddess of the moon,
As you may grow, so do I.
Here, tonight, under your darkest light,
I embrace all within me that is good and right,
And bid goodbye to all the rest.
And so it is."
Blow out the candle and throw it into a fireplace or place it in your cast iron cauldron to burn away. It must be completely destroyed, as it now contains the energy of your anxiety and fear.

“Fiery candle, bloody red, clear the slowness from my head. Mother moon of glowing light, give me fierceness through the night. Make me strong, steady and as quick as the candle's fire licks. Place within me strength and drive so that my dreams may come alive.”

Dreams are one way we can reveal answers to our questions. Moonstone is a psychic mirror, especially for women. Wise women of ancient India were the first to figure this out. If you are feeling out of sorts or off center, turn to your moonstone.
Under moonlight, gaze first at the moon, and then at your moonstone. Look for the answer to your personal mystery in your dreams. Be sure to sleep with pen and paper at your bedside.

Here is a powerful call-and-response exercise to pull in full moon energy to brighten the aura and recharge your entire energy field and chakra system.
white candle
Clean rainbow moonstone (optional)
Glass of pure drinking water
Sit comfortably, facing north, outside under the energy of the full moon.
Take a few minutes to get relaxed from head to toe. Feel each muscle in your body grow limp as you relieve tension. If you are having trouble relaxing, talk to your body. For example: “My eyes and ears are completely relaxed. My ears, head and neck feel no tension. My shoulders are relaxed and loose.”
Once you are relaxed, light the candle.
Place the moonstone in a glass of drinking water.
Recite the following to begin your ritual:
Moon Goddess shining bright, fill my aura with your light. Down to me and back to you, we will awaken and strengthen my chakras, too. And so it is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Take one sip of the moonstone water. Visualize the fluid moving through every cell of your body like white light.
Now visualize a clear crystal ball being sent down from the moon and entering your Crown Chakra. Say:
I trust the guidance of my Higher power. My life flows with ease.
Take another sip of water. See a clear crystal ball coming from the moon and entering your 3rd Eye Chakra. Say:
Peace and love surround me.
Take another sip of water. Visualize a clear crystal ball coming from the moon and entering your Throat Chakra. Say:
I honor myself by speaking my truth. I express my feelings easily.
Drink a sip of water. See a clear crystal ball coming from the moon into your Heart Chakra. Say:
I embrace life and all its experiences with love and joy.
Take another sip of water. This time, welcome a clear crystal ball from the mooning your Solar Plexus Chakra. Say:
I create a life of sweetness and joy. Giving and receiving are balanced in my life.
Take another sip of water. visualize a clear crystal ball flowing from the moon into your Sacral Chakra.
I am safe and trust in the flow of life.
Take another sip of water. Visualize a clear crystal ball flowing from the moon into your Root Chakra. Say:
I feel at peace in my heart and my mind. I am safe.
Drink the remaining rainbow moonstone infused water.
Sit for a moment and feel the crystal balls restoring energy to each chakra as they absorb anything that is not serving you in a positive way.
Now, one-by-one, you will draw each crystal ball from its place in each chakra and out of your Heart Chakra.
Take a deep breath and feel the crystal ball move from your Root Chakra, up past your abdomen, and out of your heart, stopping and hovering at eye level in front of you — suspended in air. Say:
I feel secure in who I am. My boundaries are strong and secure.
Inhale again. When you exhale, draw the crystal ball from your Sacral Chakra. Say:
I process events and emotions in my life with ease. I release what no longer serves me.
See this crystal ball joining with the Root Chakra ball in front of you. Together, they form one larger ball.
Breathe in and focus on your Solar Plexus Chakra. When you exhale, draw the crystal ball from this chakra and join it with the others. Say:
I lovingly move forward. I feel free to release guilt and resentment.
Continuing this inhaling, visualizing, and exhaling, draw out each chakra’s crystal ball through the heart. One-by-one join each with the others —- each time seeing the ball in front of you grow in diameter.
Heart Chakra affirmation:
I lovingly communicate what I mean. My decisions are based on what is true for me.
Third Eye Chakra affirmation:
I love the life I have created. I see clearly with eyes of love.
Crown Chakra affirmation:
I trust the the guidance of my Higher Power. My life flows ease.
With all 7 balls now joined into one large crystal ball, draw in a deep breath. Imagine your lungs filling with white light. When you exhale, blow the large crystal ball back to the moon.
Give thanks for the phenomenal healing that has take place. Extinguish your candle and feel free to reuse it in future chakra healing rituals and spells.

Soil
Seeds (anything you like)
Egg Shells
Small Piece of Paper
Write your intentions on a piece of paper. Try to keep it to no more than three words, but it must represent what you want to accomplish during this new moon.
Put a little soil in the flower pot, then place the piece of paper (folder) in the pot.
Add some crushes egg shells on top of that.
Fill the rest of the pot with soil.
Repeat the following as you plant and water the seeds:
I plant this seed when the moon is new. Bring me (your wish), I ask it true. Thank you.
After the ritual, keep the pot where it will get plenty of sunlight and you should see success in your plans as the plant begins to sprout. Keep it healthy and thriving to keep the magick alive and working.

The new moon, also referred to as the crescent moon, is visible when the moon is in direct alignment between the earth and the sun. It is a time of initiation, making it an ideal for executing a project, launching a business or idea, or to publicizing something you wish to attract increase. This is a time for making positive changes, so seek to increase cash flow, create new business opportunities, plant metaphorical seeds to be harvested later, travel, and start new love relationships.
While new moon energy is supportive energy for attraction, it is also good for release. If there is someone or some energy you wish to release, leverage the power of the new moon.
A new moon means new opportunities; the last lunar phase is past —- we cannot change the past; we can only focus on the present and our future goals. Let go of anything holding you back and create space in your life for new ventures. Use these rituals, recipes and spells to focus inward and take steps to fulfill your goals.
The waxing moon, also called the first quarter moon, occurs 3-4 days immediately before the full moon. If your spell needs energy to grow, this is the moon phase for you. Creativity, luck, courage, health, finances, balance, love and motivation can all thrive if you know how to leverage a waxing moon. Its energy supports the building of spiritual and magickal power in anticipation of the full moon, which is the most powerful moon phase.
The waxing moon is a time for meditation, breath work, transmutation of anxiety into power, and preparing and planning for full moon rites. This energy is also good for minor rites and rituals, and setting short-term goals.
Normally, the full moon is the recommended time for carrying out all rituals for divination, prophecy and protection. Anything that is in one’s life that needs additional power like healing for a severe ailment, getting a new job and so on should be conducted during the full moon phase. The other spells that should be cast at this time include legal undertakings, love, money, knowledge and dreams. The full moon occurs 14 to 17.5 days from the new moon. The phase is when the moon appears in its full brilliance and is the ideal time for security spells.
After the full moon peaks, we enter the waning half of the lunar cycle. Waning energies are about decrease —- energies repel rather than attract. This is a good time to rid yourself of things that no longer serve you. Minor banishing are successful during this moon phase. It’s a good time for general cleansing and upkeep of personal spaces like home, garden, or your office cable. Cleanse any personal objects during the waning moon like jewelry or magical tools. Think of this more like routine dusting —- there is no major build-up, you’re just trying to keep things clear to prevent problems.
The waning moon is a good time for spells and rituals to bring both an ending to or put a period on like a business venture you’d like to end, or a relationship that is no longer fulfilling.
As for meditations or divinations, rather than looking to the future to on to new. things, use this time for introspection. Where have your previous attitudes and actions brought you? What things in your life have affected you the most? Are you happy with where you are? Do you need to make any attitude or behavior adjustments?
