New Moon Ritual: Setting Intention

Trust Intuition

​- ​An invitation to start fresh

​- ​Call in intentions

​- ​Set the tone and prepare for coming weeks

- Create a Sacred Space 

- Create an altar that reflects your intention

This the New Moon in Capricorn, and in the Priestess tradition, it represents the Midwife Archetype

The midwife births ideas into the world.  She is strong, open, solid , clear, patient , realistic, ambitious, pragmatic, competent, consistent, dependable, commited, resourceful, grounded, pays full attention, powerfully embodied, never abandons ship, and is grace under pressure.

- Find images/objects that represent the midwife or qualities of the midwife you'd like to call-in.  

- Crystals associated with the midwife:  citrine, purite, tiger's eye, green jade

- Deities associated with the midwife:  Artemis, Athena and Laksmi

Next Steps:

- Sit in front of altar and drop into your breath (observe the natural breath)

- Begin to write in journal - a new page symbolizing a fresh new start

- Write your vision for the next moon cycle

    - List key intentions you'd like to see manifest ("I AM" STATEMENTS)

and/or

    - Write a poem or creative story that is reflective of your intentions

and/or

     - Draw or create a collage of your vision/intentions

Design your intentions in a way that feels the most potent, AND DREAM BIG!

Close with a short Meditation or Prayer or an Inspirational/Aspirational reading.  

Keep your creation (writing, drawing, etc.) out on your altar during this moon cycle or in view so you can see it every day.  

Make it a point to spend time with it, everyday, as if reinforcing the intention (energy), and maintaining a continual dialog with the universe of your commitment to these intentions.  

Best to conduct this ritual within 48 hours of the New Moon!

Enjoy!!!
