The New Moon – May 2023
Life taking an unexpected turn meant I missed April’s New Moon and my practice has had to take a back seat whilst dealing with day-to-day-life. However, the power that today’s New Moon provides us with is not to be sniffed at, so I will be making sure I harness it, and you should too.
This New Moon is all about manifesting and knowing your own worth; putting plans into action and reaching for your dreams. This can be in any aspect of your life, but this New Moon is particularly hot on finances!
So what will I be doing? Well, I’ve not been able to properly do a cleansing ritual so that absolutely has to be first on the agenda. There has been a lot of stress, anxiety and worry in my life recently so those vibes need to be given their marching orders.
As life has been a bit stressful recently, I’m going to have some fun with manifesting; I’m going to spend the day acting as though I am already living the life I want to manifest. I’m going to be confident, I’m going to buy things without looking at the price tag, I’m going to spend quality time with my partner – you get the idea.
In addition to this, I will redo my money bowl – now, I’ve said before that I’m extra, so my money bowl is a little OTT and I do change it up depending on what my intuition is telling me. But a money bowl doesn’t have to be complicated or have a million and one ingredients to work, an example can be found below.
You will need:
- A bowl or dish
- A tea light or chime candle (white is fine unless you want to use colour correspondences)
- Basil for money and to attract luck
- Mint for prosperity
- Ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks for wealth & prosperity
- Juniper berries to protect your wealth
- A piece of tigers eye for luck and prosperity
- Some money (loose change and a small note work well)
Cleanse your bowl by your preferred method
Carve the fehu rune or sigil of your choice into the candle and place in the centre of the bowl
Add the herbs to the bowl around the candle, remembering to set your intention for each of the herbs
If using a chime candle, make sure there is a clear area around the base so your bowl doesn’t become a fire pit (candle safety first)5
Add the piece of tigers eye, again setting your intention
Add some money to the bowl and light the candle. Sit with the bowl visualising what it is you want to manifest, letting the flame amplify your manifestation energy.
You don’t need to let the candle burn all the way through, in fact it’s better to repeat this throughout the waxing moon. Interact with the bowl by adding a few more coins every day, sit with the bowl and burn the candle a little more when you have time.
Don’t forget to put your water out so you have lots of lovely New Moon water to use throughout the month! There is also a recipe for a New Moon spiritual bath here that will help you to cleanse and ground.
However you choose to mark the new moon, I hope your workings are successful.
Blessed be x
