Preparing for the full moon

Before you begin your rituals, it’s essential to prepare yourself and your space. Cleanse your environment, gather your tools, and ground yourself with a brief meditation. Set a clear intention for what you want to achieve during the full moon.

Full moon rituals

  1. Cleansing bath ritual

    • Fill your bath with warm water and add Epsom salts, essential oils, and herbs like lavender or rose petals.
    • Light candles around your bath and play soft music.
    • As you soak, visualise the full moon’s light cleansing and purifying your energy. Focus on releasing negativity and embracing positivity.
  2. Moonlight meditation

    • Find a quiet spot where you can see the full moon, either outdoors or by a window.
    • Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take deep breaths. Visualise the moon’s light filling you with calm and strength.
    • Reflect on your goals and desires, and feel the moon’s energy amplifying your intentions.
  3. Charging crystals

    • Gather your crystals and place them in a spot where they can soak up the moonlight. If you’re outdoors, lay them on the ground; if indoors, place them on a windowsill.
    • Leave them overnight to cleanse and recharge. The full moon’s energy will amplify their natural properties.
  4. Full moon journaling

    • Take out your journal and write down what you want to release and what you want to manifest.
    • Reflect on the past month, noting any progress or lessons learned. Set clear intentions for the next lunar cycle.
    • You can also write a letter to the universe, expressing your gratitude and desires, then safely burn it to release your intentions.
  5. Ritual with candles and herbs

    • Create a small altar with candles, herbs, and any items that hold personal significance.
    • Light the candles and focus on your intention. Sprinkle herbs like sage or rosemary around the candles.
    • Speak your intentions out loud, feeling the power of the full moon supporting your words.
