Easy Manifesting Ritual For Today’s New Moon

Today’s New Moon offers a great opportunity to invite new growth and fresh opportunity into your life. The New Moon is a time of rising power and an ideal time for new beginnings and manifesting your desires. This is the perfect moment to set your intention for a new love, a new job, a new home, or any new project you may have been planning.

The phases of the Moon do not imply that the Moon changes in any way. It is the relative position of the Earth and the Moon that changes, creating a variety of angles in which we receive the sunlight reflected off the surface of the moon.

A full lunar cycle is approximately 29 days. The moon ‘grows’ from New Moon and gets ‘bigger,’ until it reaches a Full Moon, after which it recedes again. The eight Moon Phases in order are New moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and finally Waxing Crescent.

The lunar cycle does not fully coincide with a calendar month. Some months may have two New Moons, while others only one. When there are two New Moons in the same months, the second one is called a Black Moon and it occur about every 32 months. The New Moon is considered, in most spiritual traditions, the start of the lunar cycle.

Metaphysically working with the Moon is about aligning yourself with the cycles of nature. Any ritual that helps you connect with the desired energy will work for you. It can be just a simple visualization on your way to work, or a mantra you created in your own language.

To harness the energy of today’s New Moon, you can adapt the following New Moon Ritual for your own purposes. In my experience there is something special about candles, and this is why I share this with you. The same basic ritual can be adapted to many other purposes, just by using the corresponding candle color.

This is a ritual to attract love under a New Moon, but you can adapt it for whatever intention you wish to set. You will need a red candle, pen and paper, olive oil, and a holder or plate for the candle. Do your ritual at a time and place when you will not be disturbed. Lock your door and switch off your phone. You can play some suitable music in the background, but it is optional.

Begin with cleansing, by taking a shower or a bath. The aim of this cleansing activity is to release your mind and body from previous activities and old energy. Burn some incense before you begin, it changes the mood of the room. Rose or Lavender would be perfect for a love ritual.

Begin by describing the characteristics you would want your new lover to have, and write down the key on a small piece of paper. When ready put a few drops of olive oil on your dominant hand and dress the candle (this means slide your hand across it from top to bottom several times) visualizing your new relationship. More than anything focus on how you will feel. Every time you move your hand you are bringing this desire into your life. This should only take a few minutes.

Luna energy begins to move from a low to a high level, so that whatever desires and intentions are set, can also make the transition from low energy, or thought form, into their higher energy state, and real life manifestation ~ Katherine Anne Lee

Sit quietly for a moment, clear your thoughts and light the candle (on the holder, plate or any cup) with the paper with your written intentions underneath. Meditate on how achieving this wish will feel, and on how fulfilling it will be. Then put out the candle and keep it somewhere safe, along with the piece of paper.

You can do this a couple more times over the following days and then on the night or day of the Full Moon on June 17^th, light it up and let it burn down completely. Please be careful not to leave the candle unattended and ensure that it is secure in the holder, plate or cup.
