5 Tips for Creating a Witchy Full Moon Ritual
Working with the lunar cycles is one of the most powerful ways to get in touch with the rhythms of nature and your own personal power. A great way to ease into this practice is by doing moon rituals – especially around the new and full moons.
Whether or not you're well-versed in the witchy world of moon rituals, it’s nice to have a guide to help you deepen your practice and give you new tools for inspiration and manifestation. This full moon ritual is designed to help you tap into your inner voice and understand what you should be holding on to and what it's time to let go of.
Full moon energy
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the full moon ritual, let's explore what the energy of the full moon looks and feels like.
While the new moon is all about setting intentions and new beginnings, the full moon represents the end of a cycle. The energy of the full moon allows us to look within and examine what patterns, relationships, habits, or anything that we need to let go of.
You can be more specific with the energy of specific full moons by looking at the astrological sign under which they fall. This full moon ritual is designed to give you a foundation with which you can tweak and make into your own.
Enjoy!
1) Set your space
The first step in your full moon ritual is setting your ritual space. your space is the container where you can drop into yourself and your intuition, and you want it to feel cozy and inspiring.
This could be an altar you already have, but you can also make a fire if you have a fireplace or a fire pit in your backyard, the bath is also a powerful place for a full moon ritual.
Wherever you're setting the space first make sure it's nice and tidy, then you can start to lay out objects that are meaningful to you or that inspire you. this could be crystals, sentimental objects, and different objects that you feel a connection to.
2) Cleanse your space
After your space is set up it’s nice and calming to cleanse it in a way that feels natural to you. Cleansing allows you to reset the energy and do a sort of pre-clearing practice. Some great ways to cleanse are using sage and incense, as well as opening windows to let old energy out.
We love using these beautiful vulva crystal incense holders ($39.95 AUD) made from agate – a calm-inducing gem that promotes security and safety.
3) Drop into your body
Before dropping into your intuition you need to first drop into your body. Sit with yourself, take some deep, cleansing breaths, stretch, notice any places you’re carrying tension, and breathe into them.
Practicing self-pleasure is a great way to drop into your body as part of your ritual. The Moon Ritual Glass Dildo Pleasure Wand ($89 AUD) is a sensual accompaniment for your Full Moon or New Moon pleasure rituals. This wand is sleek with smooth ripples that feel sensual sliding inside the yoni. The cutesy crescent moon adorning the end makes it the perfect item to add to your altar.
4) Practice reflection
Since the full moon is all about letting go, after dropping into your body, take time to reflect on this. We recommend getting your journal out.
Ask yourself “What am I struggling to let go of?” “What is holding me back from releasing these things?” What’s the first step I can take to release them?”
Take the time to really sit with these questions. Let it all pour out of you. You don’t need to hold onto it any longer.
5) Make space to release
Now that you’re clear on what you want to release it’s time to get to it. Easier said than done but even setting the intention of releasing it is a huge step in the right direction.
How do you do that? Journaling is a great first step, it’s also beautiful to work with the elements. You can imagine the bath washing away what’s no longer serving you or physically burning pieces of paper with old stories written on them. You can even use our Manifestation Paper Incense – pieces of incense paper you can write on and then burn.
Remember this is just a framework for you to use as you make your own ritual. You can always fine-tune it and adapt the deeper you get into the practice. Clear it all away and make space for magic to come into your life!
