New Moon Intention Ritual
Intention: Setting intentions for a new cycle
Ingredients / Materials
- Paper and pen
- A candle (white or the color of your intention)
- Optional: your favorite tarot deck
Method
- Light the candle and take a few slow breaths to settle in.
- Write down up to three intentions for this lunar cycle. Keep them specific and within your control (e.g. "I will finish my manuscript draft" rather than "I will become famous").
- Optionally pull a single tarot card per intention for insight on what to focus on.
- Fold the paper and keep it somewhere you'll see it — a book, altar, or wallet.
- Snuff (don't blow out) the candle to close the ritual.
Reflection
Revisit the paper at the full moon to check in on progress.
