I love to utilise the energy of the new moon to cleanse my house for a fresh start each lunar month.

New Moon Cleansing Ritual:

Use a small cauldron or heatproof ceramic dish. Add sand to the base and place a lit charcoal disc on top. Light the disc carefully with tongs over an open flame.
Add dried herbs or resin on top of the charcoal disc.
I recommend frankincense or myrhh resins and for dried herbs I love to use a blend of rosemary, juniper and cinnamon.
Open a few of your doors and windows for adequate ventilation. Starting at your front door, walk with the smoking cauldron/dish throughout your home in a clockwise direction.
I love to draw a protective sigil or pentagram with the smoke over the beds, and entrance doors.

Once the house is done, you can leave the cauldron on a heatproof surface in the centre of the home. Usually on the kitchen table. You may need to add more resin/herbs after the others have burned through.

If you wish to perform a New Moon Ritual I suggest doing so within the 12 hours AFTER the New Moon hits exact in your time zone to take the best advantage of it’s fresh and growing energy.

If you're not sure where to start, I have some beginner friendly New Moon Ritual worksheets available to guide you through a lunar manifesting ritual. Each worksheet also comes with a unique Tarot spread to try that links in with that particular moons energy.
