January 2023 New Moon Meditation

I personally do not perform ritual on New Moons. I take this time to relax, unwind, and break free from my stressors in life. I wrote this small meditation for those who would like to meditate during this time or use it in their ritual practice :)

Purpose:

To cleanse and protect yourself during this time of low energy. From here to the Full Moon, you will gradually increase your energy and release the negative energies that bother you here and now.

Use: 

This meditation can be treated as its own small meditation whenever you need it or when it’s necessary, but can also be used for those who do rituals on the New Moon.

Meditation: 1) Get into a comfy seated position or you can lie down and take 3, long deep breaths. Breathing in for 4 seconds, holding for 1 second, and releasing for another 4 seconds.

2) Imagine roots growing from your tailbone into the Earth below and ground yourself during this time. Letting go of all past, present, or future stressors.

3) Continue breathing and look at the dark New Moon within you. The New Moon represents positive changes and setting new intentions for the coming Full Moon.

4) Think of your intentions for the weeks leading to the Full Moon. This could be building a better habit, eating better, making healthier choices, or just feeling more positive and more energized.

5) Continue to breathe. Do not let anything stress you during this time. Relax. Everything is okay during this time, this time is for you and no one else.

If you cannot shake a thought or feeling, embrace it and say to yourself: “This is not a time for this”

6) Continue to be in the present, guided by the New Moon and the journey that it would like to take you on. Let it flow.

7) Whenever you are ready. Lift your hands above your head and say: “The New Moon brings me courage, the New Moon brings me intent. These are my intentions that I do wish to set.” Say as many times as you’d like. 

8) Open your eyes and stretch a little. You can journal about this meditation journey or go about your day, remembering your intentions throughout this time.

If you have any questions for me, please leave me a question in my 'Ask me Anything' section on my page :)

I’m gonna say it:

I don’t believe in 💵money magick💵. I believe that it is all either hard work or luck based. No way will I ever put my energy into “gaining a fortune” because I am already on that path, every day, with my good work ethic and saving/budgeting habits.

🍀🍀🍀

The best way to achieve better finances is looking for better opportunities, taking that promotion, or even trying something else completely. Sprinkle in a little luck magick daily and something good may come your way!

🌼🌼🌼

Keep up all the hard work fellow practitioners, you’ll be blessed someday✨🌙

(This is just my opinion, if you still believe in money magick go on ahead, idk why but I had to get that one off my chest)

13 Goals of a Witch

1. Know Yourself: Understand your thoughts and motivations and take stock of both your vices and virtues. Chose to define yourself, instead of having the world informing who you should be. 2. Know Your Craft:  Knowledge is not just obtained from books and teachers. Study and practice the craft; learn through your own experiences. Honor and celebrate; listen to nature. From your own theories and practices.  3. Learn:  Learning never ends. Look to books, look to nature, look within, and listen. Life is a journey and there will always be a new theory, technique or idea from which to glean knowledge: stay teachable. 4. Apply Knowledge with Wisdom:  Use gained wisdom to temper your action and to make informed decisions. Make your intentions clear and be ready to accept responsibility for any outcome.

5. Achieve Balance:  A balanced life is a good one; Embrace opposites. All of our efforts cannot be settled on one aspect. Take time to care for our emotional, spiritual, and physical self. Balance work with play; balance your diet and exercise and checkbook; magical and mundane intertwined: mental, physical, magical, and spiritual.

6. Keep Your Thoughts in Good Order:  Thoughts manifest reality according to your intent and will before words even form. Magical energy is directed by intention and has an impact on all aspects of our lives: emotionally, mentally, spiritually, magically, physically.

7. Keep Your Words in Good Order:  Words are bond. They are verbalization of thought and carry power to both wound or reward. They should always be treated as such.

8. Celebrate Life:  Existence on this planet is a gift and enjoy every breath. It is in acknowledging the little and big, the trials and triumphs, weeping and rejoicing, pleasure and sacrifice. Without the bad, there cannot be the good. Live life to the fullest!

9. Attune with the Cycles:  Experience nature and understand that we are part of it, not apart from it. Notice as we move through the year and attune yourself to these movements. Follow the lunar cycle, celebrate the wheel. Recognize each season through growing and resting. 

10: Breath and Eat Correctly:  “Your body is a temple.” Strive to achieve optimal health. Breathing aids in raising energy, focus, and stress relief. Wholeness also comes from taking care of oneself physically. Eating a proper diet will help to make our bodies healthier and live longer. Health aids in magical working and make mundane tasks easier. 11. Exercise the Body:  Respect the body that is given and keep it in shape. Things will come easier along with extra confidence. A healthy body feels better both physically and emotionally. We live longer are less encumbered during mundane and magical activities.

12. Meditate:  Good for the mind, body, and soul. More than just one form, it helps us form clarity, for both mundane and spiritual reason as it quiets and centers the mind. It allows us to focus the thought and will, reduces stress and helps with all tasks by being able to focus and think clearly.

13. Honor Deity:  This is more important for those who work include a spiritual aspect in their practice: honor those deities through rituals and celebrations. Serve them well and perhaps, more importantly, be an honor to them thought example.  By honoring them, we also honor ourselves and humans. They are present in every molecule.
