New Moon Ritual: Setting Intentions

The New Moon is a time of darkness and potentiality—the void from which all creation springs. This is the optimal time to set new intentions, begin projects, and plant seeds (literal and metaphorical). Ritual: Sit in darkness. Light a single black or dark blue candle. Write your intentions on paper. Fold the paper toward you (drawing energy in). Place it on your altar. Snuff (do not blow out) the candle.
