The Moon and New Beginnings

The Waxing Crescent Moon is a time of new beginnings, growth, and intention-setting. It’s a perfect phase for planting seeds—both literally (in the garden) and figuratively (for personal goals or projects). Here’s a simple ritual you can do tonight to align with the energy of the Waxing Crescent:

1. Create a Sacred Space

• Find a quiet, peaceful area where you can sit undisturbed.

• Light a candle (preferably white or pale colors) to symbolize new beginnings.

• Optionally, burn some incense like lavender or sandalwood for clarity and focus.

• 
  

2. Reflect & Set Intentions

• Take a few deep breaths to center yourself.

• Reflect on areas in your life where you’d like to see growth or change. What new beginnings would you like to invite in?

• Write down your intentions or goals for the upcoming cycle. Be specific about what you want to manifest, whether it’s personal growth, a project, or a relationship.

• 
  

3. Visualize Growth

• With your intentions written down, close your eyes and visualize them growing like seeds planted in fertile soil. Imagine each intention blossoming over time, step by step.

• Feel the energy of the moon supporting your growth, helping your intentions flourish.

• 
  

4. Affirmations or Affirmative Prayer

• Speak out loud or silently the following affirmation:

  
  

  “With the Waxing Crescent, I invite new beginnings, clarity, and growth into my life. I am open to the possibilities ahead.”

• You can also create your own affirmation based on your specific goals.

• 
  

5. Close the Ritual

• When you're ready, snuff out the candle and close the ritual by thanking the moon for its energy and support.

• Keep your written intentions somewhere sacred—like an altar, a drawer, or a journal—where you can revisit them throughout the lunar cycle.

• 
  

Optional: Moon Water

• If it’s a clear night, you can place a jar or bowl of water outside to "charge" under the waxing crescent moon. Use this water for cleansing, spiritual rituals, or to drink for renewed energy.

  
  

This ritual honours the waxing crescent’s energy of growth and beginnings, setting the tone for what you wish to manifest in the coming weeks.
