A new moon ritual in Wicca is a sacred practice that witches and Wiccans perform to harness the energy of the new moon phase. The new moon is the first phase of the moon's cycle, when it is not visible from Earth. It represents new beginnings, fresh starts, and the planting of seeds for future growth. During a new moon ritual, witches often create an altar or sacred space where they can connect with the energy of the moon and the elements. This can include candles, crystals, herbs, and other symbolic objects that represent their intentions and desires for the new moon cycle. The ritual typically begins with grounding and centering, where the witch takes a few moments to focus their mind and connect with the Earth beneath them.
If something isn’t working out you can discard that intention and create a whole new one. The moon is a wonderful lesson in transformation. That it is okay to restart or quit when the time is right.
While anointing let it know that its intention is to activate your sacral chakra your centre of creation and your solar plexus chakra the centre of your personal power. Interestingly enough, most people are unconsciously aligned with this energy, tending to create new habits, start new projects and initiate life changes around the same time as the new moon.
The ritual typically begins with grounding and centering, where the witch takes a few moments to focus their mind and connect with the Earth beneath them. This helps to establish a strong energetic foundation for the ritual work. Next, the witch may choose to cast a circle, which is a symbolic boundary that separates the sacred space from the outside world.

Every 28 days we are met with a golden opportunity to set our intentions for the coming lunar cycle. The new moon is one of my favourite correspondences to work with. Its cycle mirrors the female body and is a constant reminder that we are inherently magical creatures.
- The first new moon of the year is an opportunity to set an overarching intention for the entire year.
- The first new moon of the season is the ideal time to set an overarching intention for the season.
- The spring equinox is in mid-late March and the perfect time to plant your seeds of intention.
- The Summer solstice is celebrated in mid-late June and a time to do the physical work.
- The Autumn equinox is in mid-late September and time to tie up loose ends.
- The winter solstice is celebrated in mid-late December a time of deep rest and reflection.

If something isn’t working out you can discard that intention and create a whole new one. The moon is a wonderful lesson in transformation. That it is okay to restart or quit when the time is right.
One of my favourite new moon rituals is to set a candle for manifestation and engage in a journal session. I explore my intention and create a plan to bring it into my physical plane.
This is my go to ritual for the new moon. You can easily modify it to suit every intention you need and to help you strive to create actionable plans.
Required Materials:
Begin by cleansing your candle and stones by running them under cold water for 30 seconds. Cleanse the remaining of your materials or tools with a smoke bath.
Cleanse your space and with all your materials readily available create your sacred space.
Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize you living with your intention fully manifested in your life. Connect with your visualization deeply using all your senses. What does it taste like, smell like? What is around you? What are you wearing? What can you hear? Whisper your intention onto your candle 3 times letting your breath stoke life into it.
To dress your candle first choose a corresponding symbol or create a sigil.
If I were manifesting money a dollar symbol would work.
Carve your symbol or sigil and your intention onto your candle. Next run the manifest oil over top of your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to draw your intention to you. You can also apply herbal blends to your oiled candle to add extra power. Once your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container on your altar.
Take your citrine and anoint it with the manifest oil. While anointing let your stone know that its purpose is to successfully attract your intention into being.
Take you sunstone and anoint it with the manifest oil. While anointing let it know that its intention is to activate your sacral chakra (your centre of creation) and your solar plexus chakra (the centre of your personal power). This will help you make decisions to birth your intention into the physical world.
Take your carnelian stone and anoint it with manifest oil. While anointing let it know that its intention is to encourage you to move forward and take action in order to achieve your intention.
Take your 3 stones and place them in a circle around your candle.
Light your candle and state your intention out loud.
Spend the next 30 minutes to an hour journaling about your intention and how you will work to manifest it into existance. Here are 9 journal prompts you can use to help you understand your intention on a deeper level.
- Why do I want this intention in my life?
- How will this intention benefit my life?
- Will this intention affect those around me and if so, is it for their good?
- What physical steps do I need to take in order to manifest my intention fully?
- What emotional steps do I need to take in order to manifest my intention fully?
- What spiritual steps do I need to take in order to manifest my intention fully?
- What potential obstacles could I see blocking my path and how can I move around them?
- Who can I turn to to help me achieve my intention?
- Am I willing to do the work in order to achieve my intention?
Once you have completed you journal session seal and sign your pages. Sit for a few minutes and allow your work to sink it’s way into your subconscious. Be gentle with yourself after this spell. Activities I like to do are reading, taking a bath and drinking tea. Anything that is cozy and helps fill your cup.
Allow the candle to burn out then dispose of your spell work. This can be over several days. Once your candle is disposed of you can take your crystals and carry them around with you for the rest of the lunar cycle.
You can continue to reuse your stones for each new moon spell you perform. Just make sure to cleanse them of the old intention.
Happy New Moon.
Once you have lit your smudge stick (or loose plants/herbs) blow it out and invite the smoke to envelop your body starting at your feet and ending at your head.
This creates a space that is protected and infused with spiritual energy. Once the circle is cast, the witch may choose to invoke the elements, calling upon the energies of earth, air, fire, and water to aid in their ritual work. This can be done through spoken or silent invocations, using specific words and gestures to connect with each element. After connecting with the elements, the witch may then state their intentions for the new moon cycle. This can be done through spoken affirmations, written intentions, or even visualizations. It is important for the intentions to be clear, specific, and aligned with the witch's highest good. Once the intentions are set, the witch may choose to perform additional ritual work, such as meditations, spellwork, or divination. This can vary depending on the individual's spiritual practice and personal preferences. Some witches may choose to work with specific deities or spirits during their ritual, while others may focus solely on their own personal energy. Towards the end of the ritual, the witch will often express gratitude for the energy and guidance received during the ritual. This can be done through prayers, chants, or simple words of thanks. It is important to show appreciation for the spiritual assistance received during the ritual, as this helps to strengthen the connection with the divine. Finally, the witch will typically close the circle, releasing the energies that were raised during the ritual. This is done to ground and balance the energy, ensuring that it is not left lingering or dispersed in a harmful way. Overall, a new moon ritual in Wicca is a powerful way for witches and Wiccans to connect with the cycles of the moon and harness its energy for personal growth and transformation. By setting clear intentions and working with the elements, witches can tap into the magical energies of the new moon and manifest their desires into reality..
Reviews for "Honoring Ancestors with Wiccan New Moon Rituals"
1. Mary - 1 star
I was really looking forward to attending the New Moon Ritual Wicca, but I was highly disappointed with the experience. The ritual lacked depth and authenticity. It felt like a watered-down version of what Wicca rituals should be. The facilitators didn't seem knowledgeable about the practices and couldn't answer basic questions. The overall atmosphere was chaotic and disorganized. I left feeling unfulfilled and frustrated. I would not recommend this ritual to anyone looking for a genuine Wicca experience.
2. John - 2 stars
As someone who has participated in several Wiccan rituals before, I found the New Moon Ritual Wicca to be underwhelming. The ceremony felt rushed and lacked the proper ambiance. There was minimal explanation of the symbolism and significance behind each step of the ritual, which made it difficult for newcomers to understand what was happening. The facilitators seemed inexperienced and unprepared. The overall energy of the ritual was quite low, and it failed to create the sense of spiritual connection and empowerment that I have come to expect from Wiccan rituals.
3. Sarah - 1 star
Attending the New Moon Ritual Wicca was a regrettable decision. The entire event felt like a poorly executed amateur production. The rituals were basic and lacked depth, and the facilitators seemed more interested in performing for an audience rather than creating a meaningful spiritual experience. There was an overemphasis on commercialized elements, which cheapened the authenticity of the ritual. I left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. If you're seeking a genuine Wiccan experience, I suggest looking elsewhere and avoiding this ritual.
4. Alex - 2 stars
The New Moon Ritual Wicca was a disappointing experience overall. The few rituals that were performed felt rushed and lacked the proper reverence and intention. The facilitators seemed more focused on showcasing their own knowledge rather than creating a participatory experience. The event could have benefited from better organization and clearer communication. Additionally, there was a lack of depth and spiritual connection throughout the ritual, leaving participants feeling like they had just gone through the motions. Overall, I would not recommend this ritual to those seeking a genuine Wiccan experience.
