Open to the divine energy that the moon has to offer you. She, Luna, the Moon is known as a divine feminine energy. New moon happens roughly every 29.5 days. This is the length of time it takes for the Moon to go through one whole lunar phase cycle. The new moon is the start of a lunar cycle.
Why can't we see the new moon? The alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and Earth leaves the side of the Moon that faces Earth in darkness. It's a beautiful time to rest and reflect on the previous month. The new moon is the time for renewal and new beginnings.
The moon acts as a cosmic timer, this empowers us to make changes and be accountable for how we live our lives in each cycle. The moon asks us to look within and stop focusing all of our energy outwards.
How to create a New Moon Ritual:
Make a nice cup of Cacao or a herbal tea.
Light a candle. White light is symbolic for protection and reminds us all of our own inner light.
Set intentions. Be clear what is it that you want. Write a list and start to connect deeply to the intentions that you are setting.
Make a vision board with images and drawing of what it is that you would like to create. Place this somewhere that you will see it often, like your bedroom or kitchen.
Anoint yourself with the Goddess New Moon Blend. Roll the new moon blend onto your pulse points. Let yourself smell the aroma of the oils and take a few moments to connect to all feelings that are presenting themselves.
Do not shy away from any feeling even if it is uncomfortable. There are many lessons to receive from the energy of each oil in this blend. Be still for as long as you intuitively feel is right for you.
We recommend that you journal out all insight that you may have received.
When closes this ritual we ask that you blow out your candle and thank all being and guidance from the higher realms of love that have supported you during this new moon ritual. We also recommend that you energetically cleanse your space with sage, palo santo or frequency such as your favourite song.
Please keep us posted on how you felt on completion of your ceremony and how the next moon cycle goes for you. Remember to keep your intentions clear and alter what you need to each month and let go of what you no longer need during a full moon ritual.
The Oils:
Lavender: the oil of clear communication and helps to calm the nervous system. The energy of the new moon is about intention setting and clarity, for this we must be calm and have the ability to express our desires. It is also a great immune booster, your health truly is your wealth. Not recommended for use during pregnancy
Ylang, Ylang: Is deeply relaxing, the energy of this oil aids the heart by helping us release negative emotions such as anger, possessiveness and low self-esteem. I always think of Quan Yin and Mother Mary consciousness when I use this oil in a blend. It can help with any heavy energy and also promotes a greater sense of stability in the sacral chakra.
Tea tree: This is an amazing oil to cut energy cords. If you feel like your energy has been low and you can't figure out why, this is the oil for you. Tea tree promotes a clean energy field and cuts away and buffs out stagnation from the aura. This is the magnetic field that surrounds the body. Tea tree also aids in souls that may have been co dependant on other and things. It reminds us to reconnect to our true self.
