The new moon is a powerful time for setting intentions, new beginnings, and manifesting goals. Here’s a simple new moon spell for setting intentions and manifesting your desires:
New Moon Intention Setting Spell
What You’ll Need:
- A small candle (white, black, or purple is ideal for new moon energy)
- A piece of paper and a pen
- A small dish of salt (for purification)
- A crystal (clear quartz or moonstone work well for new moon rituals)
- A fire-safe bowl or cauldron
- Matches or a lighter
Preparation:
- Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.
- Cleanse the area with a saltwater spray, sage, or incense if you like.
- Gather your materials and place them in front of you.
Spell Steps:
Grounding and Centering:
Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Imagine roots growing from the base of your spine or feet, connecting you deeply with the earth. Feel the support and stability of the ground beneath you.
Candle Lighting: Light the candle and say:
“As this flame ignites, so do my intentions. New moon, new beginnings, I call upon your power.”
Setting Intentions:
Take the piece of paper and pen. Write down your intentions or what you wish to manifest. Be specific and clear about your goals.
You might write things like:
- “I invite love and positivity into my life.”
- “I am open to new opportunities for growth and success.”
- “I release fear and embrace change.”
Charging the Crystal:
Hold the crystal in your hands and close your eyes. Visualize your intentions flowing from your mind into the crystal. Imagine the crystal glowing with the energy of your desires.
Burning the Intentions:
Carefully hold the paper with your written intentions over the candle flame and let it catch fire (if you’re not comfortable with burning, you can bury the paper in the earth instead). As it burns, say:
“As this paper burns, so too are my intentions released into the universe. May the new moon carry my desires and bring them to fruition.”
Place the burning paper into the fire-safe bowl or cauldron to let it burn completely.
Final Blessing:
Sprinkle a pinch of salt around the candle, creating a protective circle. Hold the crystal and say:
“New moon, I thank you for your guidance and support. My intentions are set, my path is clear. So mote it be.”
Closing:
Extinguish the candle, thanking it for its light and energy. Keep the crystal with you or place it on your altar to continue charging with your intentions.
Reflection:
Spend a few moments in quiet meditation, visualizing your intentions coming to life. Feel the energy of the new moon supporting your dreams and goals.
Aftercare:
Keep the crystal close to you or on your altar to keep the energy of your intentions alive.
Reflect on your intentions regularly, and take inspired action towards your goals.
Remember, the power of a spell lies in your intention and belief. Trust in the process and be open to the signs and opportunities the universe may bring your way. Blessed be!
