Monday Moons - #91 -10th March 2025
New Moon Part 2
New moon rituals are generally about setting intentions for the things we want to manifest.
The New moon follows the darkest part of the moon, the dream seed time.
What new ideas are germinating in the nutrient rich soil of your soul? Your New Moon rituals should focus on what you want to call into your life at this time.
The Moon herself symbolises our inner world, what happens in the dark, our unconscious, the hidden and habitual. Astrologically, she represents our emotions, our inner self. These are aspects we may keep hidden safely away from the outside world. Or perhaps you are an emotional creature, freely sharing your love, happiness and sadness. Vulnerability is an attribute of Moon priestesses. Water is the Moon's element, energies of emotions swelling and receding.
Journal to track your New Moon Intention Setting and Full Moon Manifestations
Recording the basic focus of your rituals can help solidify them and make them more potent. You can use a simple notepad to record your intentions and track your manifestations, recording your goals and successes is a great inspirational tool.
The New Moon is a time to start something new, to plant a new idea. This is a time of fresh beginnings, the start of the lunar cycle and a great time for intention setting! Reach out, initiate a project or big dream you’ve only mulled over in your mind up to now. At this time, unseen seeds swell and crack in the moist soil of darkness, rooting toward deep growth.
Include the new moon deities in your ritual to help increase the power and magic, such as Artemis and Hecate.
Artemis (Greek): The Huntress—She is a protector or animals and of nature. Her followers often worshiped her on the New Moon phase of the lunar cycle.
Hecate (Greek): The Dark Goddess—Often associated with the dark Moon phase, she is often depicted as a hag, goddess of the crossroads, rebirth and death. She is often called the Goddess of Witchcraft.
"The Moon is an astonishing companion on the human journey. She both lights the way and invites us into the dark." (Mother Tongue Ink 2017)
