New Moon Rituals in Wicca In Wiccan tradition, the New Moon holds great significance as it represents the beginning of a new lunar cycle. Wiccans believe that the energy during this phase is ideal for setting intentions, manifestation, and personal growth. New Moon rituals are performed to align oneself with the natural cycles of the Universe and harness the power of the moon to manifest desires. One common practice during New Moon rituals is cleansing. It is believed that by purifying oneself and the ritual space, all negative energies are removed, making room for new beginnings. This can be done through smudging with sage or other cleansing herbs, taking a ritual bath, or simply visualizing white light surrounding oneself.

After cleansing, Wiccans often engage in meditation or quiet reflection. This helps to quiet the mind, connect with the present moment, and set clear intentions for the lunar cycle ahead.

Product description
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.
You can work with every individual moon in its astrological sign to create a unique, monthly experience. You can set a new intention every 28 days for that lunar cycle.

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.
Gemstones have an incredible ability to anchor your aspirations in the physical world – the world of matter – activate them and help manifest.
Some practitioners may choose to use guided meditations or chants to deepen their focus and connection. Another common element in New Moon rituals is the creation of a sacred space or altar. This space serves as a focal point for the ritual and is often adorned with objects and symbols that hold personal significance. This can include candles, crystals, herbs, or ritual tools such as an athame or wand. The altar is a representation of the practitioner's spiritual connection and acts as a visual reminder of their intentions. During the ritual, spells or affirmations may be performed to manifest desires or release any negative patterns or emotions. Spells can vary widely depending on the individual's intentions but often involve visualization, speaking affirmations, or writing intentions on paper and burning them as a symbolic act. Once the rituals and spells are completed, it is common for Wiccans to give offerings or express gratitude. This can be done by leaving a small offering, such as food or drink, on the altar or by simply expressing gratitude in words or thoughts. Giving thanks to the Divine and acknowledging the support received helps to cultivate a sense of gratitude and abundance. New Moon rituals in Wicca are deeply personal and can be adapted to suit individual preferences and beliefs. The key is to honor the energy of the New Moon, set clear intentions, and work with the natural cycles of the moon to manifest desires and invite positive change into one's life..
