~ Simple Dark Moon Release Spell ~

~ Simple Dark Moon Release Spell ~

 
I love the Dark Moon, because as opposed to the Full Moon which is illumined by the light of the Sun, the Dark Moon is like the Moon's true face - how she exists in her own right. I was born on the New Mo...on, and whenever it comes around I feel like I have let go of what has come before and can start afresh for the new month.

The Dark Moon is perfect for divination, peeling back the layers of our psyche to reveal what we don't usually see - and we can either heal or work with ourselves spiritually. I love doing readings, and my ritual for Hekate, my patron goddess. 






As The Dark Moon becomes the New Moon, it is the perfect time to start new projects, or do things like the Abundance cheques.

A simple spell you can do for the Dark Moon is a release spell - getting rid of something you don't need so you can grow or make way for new opportunities. Spells or projects where you want to increase something or bring something to you are perfect at this time.

All you need is a black candle, a fire proof dish, yourself and a quiet moment alone. The best spells are written by yourself, so have fun with it! Before you start, try writing a little chant. Don't be afraid of how it sounds, no one will hear it! It can be something like:

"By this candle on this Dark moon night
Help me release [this thing] from my life
Clearing the way for something new for me
An it harm none, so mote it be!"

(lol ^ something like that - you might want to spend more then 2 minutes on it)

Get into your sacred space - either physical or mental - take some deep breaths and relax. Feel your body and mind become part of the energy around you. You may or may or may not want to cast a circle at this point.

Write down on a piece of paper what it is you want to release - you can do more than one thing!

You might want to invoke a deity to help you - or use particular herbs or crystals as well - you could even make a talisman!

Light your candle, and begin your chant. Read out the things on the piece of paper, and as you burn it say "I release you" or something like that.

Visualise the thing leaving you. Feel what you would feel if it was gone - this is important, because you are putting the vibrations out there

When the candle has burned out (tip: don't use a big candle), know that your wish will come true. go outside and bury it in the ground, giving the energy back to the Earth.

You can make it as simple or elaborate as you want. Whatever feels right for you

Have a great day Enjoy the new lunar month -  On this New Moon, I'm starting the Paganesque Moon Project :)
