🌙 New Moon Intention Setting Spell: A Step‑by‑Step Lunar Ritual

1. Understanding the New Moon Phase & Its Magical Power

  • Why the new moon is the ideal time for planting seeds of intention (new beginnings, fresh starts).
  • How lunar energy influences your subconscious and amplifies manifestation work.
  • Key correspondences: colors (black, white, silver), crystals (moonstone, selenite), and herbs (lavender, mugwort).

2. Gathering Your Spell Ingredients & Tools

  • Essential items: a white candle, small piece of paper, pen with black ink, fireproof dish, and a cleansing tool (smudge stick or salt).

5. The Ritual: Charging & Releasing Your Intention

  • Light the white candle and hold the folded paper in your hands, visualizing your intention already fulfilled.
  • Speak your intention aloud three times, then safely burn the paper in the fireproof dish (or bury it if you prefer a slower release).
  • Allow the candle to burn down completely (or extinguish it with a snuffer – never blow it out) to seal the spell.

6. Grounding & Closing the Ritual
