OPENING CEREMONY

You can do anything you want for your moon ritual. Just make it conscious and authentic.

To start your moon ritual, you might have a simple plan or write down the order of events. This allows you to be in the present moment which is necessary to align with your goal in present reality. THIS IS HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS! Otherwise, your goal remains just a fantasy.

To remove all distractions and come into the present moment, you might take time to clean your sacred space, close your eyes, and patiently allow thoughts to pass and fade out.

Or, you might set firm boundaries and take charge of your energy. Everything is alive, even synthetic objects because everything is energy. Connect with the living essence of the universe within you and see your goal or project from a state of EMPOWERMENT.

When you’re ready, you can indicate the start of your ritual by ringing a bell, chanting a mantra, drawing a tarot card, or simply saying, “So we begin.”

MOON AND ASTROLOGY

You can celebrate your moon ritual according to the moon’s current placement in the sky. Constellation energy can be especially helpful if emotions or intuition are blocked and you aren’t sure what to do.

Brainstorming Fun

Brainstorm ideas related to your new goal or project. Write down anything that comes to mind, no matter how wild! Then, notice which ideas excite you the most and cross off the rest.

Inspired Sources

Look for a mentor who has achieved your intended goal in some way and utilize their shared expertise to keep you motivated and keep your fire burning.

Morning Magic

Every morning, light your candle, listen to the song, learn from your mentor, or hold your special gemstone in your left palm… as you take time to visualize your new product or experience. Commit to this ritual every day until the Full Moon.

CLOSING RITUAL

Closing your ritual finalizes your energy work for a specific objective so you can move on to something else without crossing your wires. Closing your ritual is like hitting the “Publish” button after writing a blog post. You might tap a special singing bowl, make a complete circle with a crystal wand, namaste bow to the universe, or simply say, “So mote it be.” Or, “Inshallah.”
