We are still in the energy of the New Moon. Carve out some space and honor this.
Here is a new moon ritual inspired by the wisdom of the menstrual cycle and moon rites:
Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet place where you feel comfortable and undisturbed. You may wish to dim the lights, light a candle, or play gentle music.
Ground Yourself: Sit comfortably and take several deep breaths. Feel your body supported by the earth. You may wish to lay your hands against your heart and listen, or reach your hands down to the earth and listen, as a way to reconnect with your own sacred space.
Set Intentions: The new moon is a time for new beginnings. Reflect on what you wish to bring forth in your life. Write down your intentions or desires for this new cycle.
Release What No Longer Serves: The new moon is also a time to shed parts of your life and being that no longer serve you. Take a moment to be ruthlessly honest with yourself about what you need to let go of. Life is an endless cycle of death and rebirth. You cannot begin anew without carving space in your life.
Connect with the Moon’s Energy: Visualize the moon above you. Ask for guidance from the spirit within you and around you. Let go of the negative and open yourself to evolve into your highest self.
Close with Gratitude: Give thanks to the earth that holds you, the sky that enfolds you, and the moon that guides you. Remember, you are your own sacred space and your life is a living prayer.
This ritual honors both the cyclical nature of the moon and the wisdom of the feminine, inviting you to co-create a life in alignment with natural rhythms and your own inner truth.
The moon that reflects the light of the Sun confirms throughout the month, as it waxes and wanes, that the created order is not chaotic. Its visible rebirth each month is very orderly and precise but not absolutely predictable. Therefore, each month has a degree of expectancy about it.
Yes, I like that paragraph as I think that it describes life accurately. It is change and unpredictability but it is also cycles and hope and stability all mixed into one.
“To me, a feminist spirituality is rooted in both the land and in our bodies. Sacredness is inseparable from who we are and the landscapes we inhabit. It is right here, right now, in the real world that we touch the holy, glimpse divinity, know ourselves as held and heard by the web of life. I am a priestess. I serve the goddess in all ways, every day, my life and work a union between the everyday and enchanted, the mystical and mundane. I see divinity everywhere. My magic is embodied and earthy, sacred and strong. Here is where she dwells and speaks, right through the center of everything.” Molly Remer, Brigids Grove
“….our ‘moontime’ asks us each month to shed parts of our life and being that no longer serve us- to surrender, re-assess, re-plenish, & re-imagine. It’s also the time in our cycle when the veil between the worlds is thinnest and we have greatest access to our latent powers & Truth. Our period asks us to be ruthlessly honest with ourselves and those around us; to look at where we’re not in integrity with ourselves and shift it.” – Pooja Prema
“…Her glorious light. “The moon is always female,” wrote poet Marge Piercy. The connection of women and the moon is strong. As Robin Wall Kimmerer says in relating “The Words That Come Before Else,” “We put our minds together and give thanks to our oldest Grandmother, the Moon, who lights the nighttime sky. She is the leader of women all over the world. . . . “[iv] In cultures around the world, the moon has been celebrated as grandmother, mother, goddess, and protector of women – the Greek Artemis, the Dinka Abuk, the Zulu iNyang, the Celtic Cerridwen, the Chinese Chang’e, the Aztec Coyolxauhqu, the Roman Luna, the Thracian Bendis, to name just a few.”
