Well, it’s that time again. The time when the sky is darker at night and Moon is not visible to us. It is New Moon. It’s also a time when most people feel a bit depleted with regard to their normal energy levels. Many people also might feel introverted and ruminative during this time. I, personally, don’t see this as a bad thing because it gives us a chance to slow down, perhaps even relax a bit and take stock of how and what we’ve been doing lately.

The New Moon is also a time for making plans for what we desire to manifest within the coming Waxing-Moon Phase. So, try and plan accordingly because if you do Rituals and Spells within the next 14 days to bring something and or someone toward you, you may have a pretty good success rate.

A couple of really good, and easy things to do on the New Moon is to do a non-Magick Ritual. Here is a list of things you might need for such a Ritual.

1. Your Book of Knowledge/Shadows (or a journal…something to write on)
2. Your favorite writing implement (a quill, fountain pen, pen, pencil, markers, etc.)
3. 2 tealights
4. Matches
5. Some incense
6. Soft instrumental music
7. Something lovely to sip and or nibble on
8. 15 minutes to a 1/2 hour of undisturbed time only for yourself.

So, now, make a cozy, comfortable space for yourself –

light your tealights and incense, turn on your soft music, get your tea (wine, coffee), or whatever you desire to drink (or nibble on), and get busy writing down that which and or whom you wish to manifest between now and the culmination of the coming Full moon.

Really put some thought into what you are doing – take as much time as you possibly can to make sure that you’re really writing down, verbatim, that which is important to your future plans, for your future self.

Whilst you’re writing, make sure to notice how you’re feeling – if your mood has brightened or dimmed, if you’re feeling hopeful or hopeless. Are you feeling a difference in the space around you? Are the candle flames really flickering and doing a joyous little dance or are their flames very low? Maybe you hear sirens going by outside, or a loud clap of thunder happens as soon as you begin or end a sentence of what you’re writing? Are any of the lights flickering? These signs could be helping to let you know if you’re on the right track or not.

After you’ve finished writing down your goals and desires, it’s imperative to make sure that you’re in a mood of gratefulness! Also, Make sure to add in a big heaping dash of visualization! This will truly help your Manifestations come to fruition.

Now that you’ve completed this important Ritual (if you do it every New Moon, it will become your Ritual), something else that you can do is to make a vision board. It may sound cliche or corny, but honestly, it really helps to set your goals and desires in motion whilst helping you step onto the fast track of successful Manifesting.

The Power is within you my dears!
