FULL MOON RITUALS
Empty Presence: Be quiet & still for 10 - 30 mins. Listen. Feel your heartbeat. Breath deep. Be present with yourself.
Honouring 2021: What are you celebrating and honouring in your life from the past year? What were your greatest lessons and how can it serve you now?
Releasing 2021: What are you laying to rest from 2021? What is ready to be washed away or buried?
Creating 2022 Magick: Create an altar representing all you are calling forth for 2022 and/or place a 'Wishing Bowl' with your written or creatively drawn intentions under the moonlight to be amplified. Key: Focus on how you wish to feel along with any specific things you desire to come to fruition. Keep this altar (and add it to if desired) all the way through until the New Year.
Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple (or any other fruit) beside it and eat it the next day to assimilate the Magick into your Being.
Commune: Gather is an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now is a time to be with the energy of the collective.
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of, and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.
Wild Moon Love, Achintya
