New Moon Magic! ✨
Before we begin, make sure you know everything about Lunar Magic and what each moon phase represents.
- There are 8 lunar phases and we can group them into 4 stages: New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon, and Waning Moon.
Spiritually, the New Moon is associated with rebirth and new beginnings so it’s an ideal time to plant the seeds of what you would like to see grow in your life.
Instead of casting a manifestation spell, set an intention for the cycle that begins: Cleanse yourself and your sacred space, meditate, and renew your commitment to any resolutions you have made in the past.
