As tonight (August 4) enters the New Moon of this cycle, I want to tell you all about it.

The new moon signifies the start of a new lunar cycle and is a potent time for initiating new projects, setting intentions, and embarking on personal transformations. This phase is perfect for cleansing and focusing on rituals that plant the seeds for future growth. The darkness of the new moon represents a blank slate, offering the chance to set goals and begin anew.

🕰️ Phase Duration: ~2 days

Suggested Traditional Ritual: During the new moon, write down your intentions and goals for the upcoming cycle. Light a black or white candle to symbolize purity and new beginnings. Meditate on your goals, visualize and focus on FEELING them coming to fruition as the candle burns (How do you sit when that happens? What is your shoulders’ posture? How do you breathe? What excited sounds are coming out of you?). During this period, you might also consider a ritual bath with sea salt, to cleanse and prepare yourself for the new phase.

🌙✨ What are you planting for the future during this New Moon? Share your hopes and intentions in the comments—I’d love to connect with you. Save this post for your new moon rituals, share with your favorite witches 🧙 and follow for more lunar magick! 💜 🌱

GOTHIC COLD MOON

19日早朝に見た今年最後の満月「コールドムーン」🌚 地球から最も遠いという割にはずいぶん大きく見え、存在感を放っていました！

一方、反対側は日の出直前の朝焼けの空。 朝焼けって夕焼けとはまた一味違う、例えるなら「大勢の人が見る」夕焼けに対して、朝焼けは「私だけが見ている」なんて感じかな。 この静寂を感じさせる風景、この先何度体験できるか…、だって普段は寝てますからね〜😂
