Full Moon Ritual October 2024

Step 1: Grounding and Connection Begin by standing or sitting comfortably. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths, inhaling calmness and exhaling tension. Visualize roots extending from your feet into the earth, anchoring you to the present moment. Whisper or think: *“I am here, I am now, I am open to the moon’s wisdom.”* Step 2: Cleansing with Water and Light Dip your fingertips into the bowl of water and sprinkle it around your space, saying: *“With this water, I cleanse and purify.”* Then, pass your crystals and journal through the candle’s flame (or simply wave them near it if they’re flammable), stating: *“With this light, I illuminate my path.”* Step 3: Release What No Longer Serves Take your journal and write down everything you wish to let go of—habits, emotions, or situations. Be specific and honest. Once written, fold the paper and hold it to your heart, saying: *“I release these burdens to the moon’s care. I am free.”* Burn the paper safely (if possible) or tear it into pieces, symbolizing the act of letting go. Step 4: Setting Intentions for Renewal On a fresh page, write down your intentions for the coming months. Focus on growth, healing, and alignment with your true self. For each intention, state aloud: *“I call this into my life, under the light of the Full Moon.”* Place your crystals on top of the paper to amplify their energy. Step 5: Meditation and Gratitude Sit in silence, gazing at the moon (or visualizing it if indoors). Meditate on the cycles of life—how endings always lead to beginnings. Express gratitude for the lessons of the past and the possibilities of the future. Step 6: Closing the Ritual Extinguish the candle, thanking the moon for its guidance. Gather your tools and seal the ritual with a final affirmation: *“I am transformed, renewed, and ready for what comes next.”*
