This ritual is designed to be simple, yet deeply effective. You don’t need elaborate tools — just your intention and a few everyday items. For each New Moon, you may also want to align your intentions with the themes of the zodiac sign, but it’s not required.

The use of candles in spiritual practice is quite ancient. Many cultures and religions use candles today in their spiritual practices. Candles are said to hold magickal, creative energy that represent the elemental force of Fire. Some believe that it invites in the elemental beings such as the salamanders, the fire elementals. Some cultures believe that the flame of a candle acts as a portal to the spirit world, connecting us to those beyond the veil.

The Full Moon is a wonderful time to let go of anything that no longer serves you. Just as the Moon begins to wane after reaching its brightest point, we too can release old emotions, limiting beliefs, unhealthy habits, and stagnant energy to create space for new beginnings.
