What Are Moon Rituals and Why Are They Important?

Moon rituals are simple practices that align our intentions and actions with the natural cycles of the moon. Even if we're not aware of it, we are cyclical beings who are affected by cycles and seasons. By tuning in to the cycle of the moon, we can learn to understand ourselves better and bring more intention and mindfulness into our daily lives.

Understanding the Phases of the Moon

The moon goes through eight phases each month, each carrying its own unique energy. While you're welcome to pause and reflect on each of these phases, we'll be focusing on the main two: the New Moon and the Full Moon.

New Moon: Beginnings and Intentions 
Full Moon: Forgiveness and Letting Go

 “While the new moon is a time to sow seeds, the full moon is a time to pull weeds.”

How to Incorporate New Moon Rituals into Your Routine

The new moon is all about beginnings. This is the perfect time to get clear on what you want to manifest in your life. Write down your intentions, set actionable goals, and visualise the outcomes you desire. This simple practice will help you stay focused and motivated as the moon begins to wax and the energy builds.

How to Incorporate Full Moon Rituals into Your Routine

As the moon reaches its fullest, it's time to reflect on what has worked and what you need to release. The full moon is ideal for practising forgiveness, letting go of grudges, disappointments, and anything that's weighing you down. Use this time to cleanse your space, practise gratitude, and write down what you're ready to release.

Creating a Moon Ritual Practice

When each full or new moon comes around, set aside a little time for yourself to write in your journal or planner. If you're unable to take the time on the exact day of the full or new moon, you can perform your ritual the day before or after. It's more important to find a time that works for you than getting the timing exact. Find a comfy, quiet place where you won't be disturbed, so you can truly tune in with yourself. You might like to light a candle or diffuse your favourite essential oils to help create a calm and welcoming space. Over time, you'll develop a rhythm that feels natural and supportive.
