July 17, 2023 New Moon Ritual for July 17, 2023. New Moon in Cancer…..

July 17, 2023

Let’s begin with a New Moon Ritual for July 17, 2023. New Moon in Cancer…..

Ritual information for the New Moon in Cancer, Monday, July 17th.
As a water sign, Cancer is all about the natural ebb and flow of our emotions, and life. A New Moon is all about new beginnings, so it is always a great time to manifest new ideas, etc.
Water signs are very intuitive, very connected with our emotions, and all things Spiritual, so this is a great time to practice Divination, but coming from a place of our inner wisdom, our inner knowing, and our inner guidance.
I have been asked by several of my online community friends, what my New Moon Ritual will look like, so I thought I would post my ritual for this New Moon, in hopes that it may inspire others to create your own.
First, I personally will be taking the time to meditate and think, what it is I would like to manifest this New Moon, cycle.
Second step, I will create a Sigil and carve it into a candle and dress my candle with oils and herbs to further enhance what my intentions are. I will be thinking about what my intentions are while I am creating the Sigil and dressing my candle. For me personally, I am concentrating on growing my business in new directions, so I will be using a green candle, but if you don’t have a color in mind for your intentions, that's ok, a white candle is universal and works for everything.
Third step, I will light my candle and then write down what my intentions are. I will read them out loud under the Moon who is in her Maiden (new beginnings) cycle, and then I will light my paper on fire, using the candle and let it burn all the way through, in my caldron (but any fire proof bowl will do.) Please make sure you have a safe space to do this and a fire-proof bowl.
Don’t blow your candle out! Best to let it burn all the way down to the socket and let it go out on its own. I like to use small candles for rituals for this reason. If you use a large candle and can't wait for it to burn all the way down, snuff it out instead of blowing it out, and announce that your ritual is now closed. Best not to "blow" your intentions out of the candle!
Last step, In the morning you can either blow your ashes into the wind and let the wind carry your intentions like dandelion seeds, dispersing your seeds of intentions, into the universe, or bury them as if you were planting seeds in your garden.
Since Cancer is a Water sign, something extra special to treat yourself too, is a Ritual Bath by candlelight, on a New Moon, night. I like to use Epsom Salt (clears away energy that is no longer serving you), in the tub along with Rosemary for protection, Lavender and Roses to surround myself in Divine Feminine energy. Of course, you could also add whatever else calls to you. I also like to place some Moonstones and Rose Quartz in the water. Moonstones are connected to the Moon’s energy and Rose Quartz gives off a beautiful, soft, heart chakra-centered energy. All of this creates a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere, for your Ritual bath, that you very much deserve!
While in the bath, again, meditate on your intentions for this New Moon Cycle. Focus on the kind of energy you want to bring into your life, and the emotions you feel while nurturing your Mind, Body, and Spirit.
If you would be interested in learning more about Sigils, Candle Dressing, Moon Cycle Rituals, and more, please contact me through the website. Also if you would be interested to meet on Zoom, for Moon Cycle Rituals, and/or classes on the above, please let me know. I have gotten some interest from others already, to start an online circle of people with like-minded interests. I can feel this New Moon energy, already, manifesting my dreams.....Very exciting happenings on the way, for sure! New Moon Blessings, everyone! All my Love, Patti
