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

  1. Light the candle and take a few slow breaths to settle in.
  2. 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").
  3. Optionally pull a single tarot card per intention for insight on what to focus on.
  4. Fold the paper and keep it somewhere you'll see it — a book, altar, or wallet.
  5. Snuff (don't blow out) the candle to close the ritual.

Reflection

Revisit the paper at the full moon to check in on progress.
