The New Moon - A Time of Peaceful 
Contemplation



According to tradition, the New Moon is more about quiet contemplation as opposed to working magic. An ideal time to meditate and write new spells, gather materials; preparation time to ready yourself for working magic in the up and coming lunar cycles. 

But on the last night when the crescent of the moon begins to show again, we celebrate her return from the dead. This is the point when we start a new. New plans and new beginnings. Prepare long term 
spells and projects.

So don’t rush into your ‘New beginnings’ ritual just yet. Or starting up new projects when she goes dark.Take those few nights of darkness to focus on what you wish to start a new. Write a spell to help you 
with your new project, and gather together what you may need. Sit and meditate on the things in 
our life that may need a fresh start. A little rejuvenation. There maybe an on going project that may 
have stalled a little. Take this time to think how you can give it a boost. Maybe you may wish to improve your personal life, increase your friendship circle. This is an ideal time to think on how you may do this, such as joining a local walking group, or start doing Yoga.

You could create a special Sigil, meditate on it and place it on your altar. If you have Tarot or Oracle
cards maybe do a reading on your plans, or maybe help guide you in the right direction. And keep a
note of the reading. During your ritual you could again mediate on your reading and maybe gain further insight.

Below are spell ideas, a few pointers as well as a New moon chant and a few trusty incense recipes
from craftypagans.com. So what ever you decide to do the next few days. Enjoy this quiet to. Spend it with loved ones. Maybe you can decide as a family where you wish to go.

Have a blessed week and a wonderful new Moon ritual

New Moon Prayers and Chants

On the New Moon of October night
New beginnings are now in sight.
The dark Goddess watches over me
To release my past and let me be free.
memories that hurt me yesterday
Will not hurt me tomorrow
I will soon be healed of my sorrow.
Honoured crone of the night
I call upon you to put things right.
Transform my negative thoughts and pain
let my life be whole again.
When i wake in the light of morn
Let my spirit be reborn.

So Mote It Be

Pray tell my fortune
In my dream.

Esbat of the Darkening Moon

Aged Goddess of the Darkening moon
Accept our praise & thanks. 
Help free us soon,
from what which needs to go,
which causes so much woe.
So that when the time is right,
We return into the light.
May this now come to be for all humanity.
Show us the path to take
and guide the steps we make.

Hecate, Morrigan, Cerridwen, Grandmother, Crone.
