During lockdown I did an amazing online event with my teacher in India who talked to us about a ton of things including RITUAL.
The take away still with me from that is that we don’t do rituals for the Divine.
In the nicest possible way, the Divine doesn’t need our rituals!!
We do them for ourselves because they are a way of getting our spiritual practise out of our heads and into our lives.
One idea for a Moon ritual, which is super simple, is to find out which sign the daily or New or Full Moon is in ….
Think about the themes of that sign
In other words, if it’s about Aries, maybe it’s about that very Aries virtue of courage, maybe you need to work on your courage? If it’s about Cancer/Moonchild, then you could think about your home and family situation, your private life, you could ask yourself what needs improving, or if it’s Capricorn, for another example you could think about your working life …
Make a wish related to that sign
If it’s New Moon, then use the qualities and virtues of the sign to formulate your ritual. If it’s just the daily Moon you’re working with, you could think about which ELEMENT the Moon is in and work with that. For example, if the Moon is in a FIRE sign and you want to create a little ritual, you could light a candle and even do a candle meditation as you raise your vibration.
Rituals work well with meditation
One of the best ways to incorporate mini-rituals like this into your devotional life is to do them before, during or after you meditate. Meditation isn’t a ritual in itself but it’s the ideal way to get yourself into the right head space to create a good life for yourself; for one thing, meditation raises your vibration which in turn helps us to become a vibrational match for our best life – whatever it is!
Having an altar is also an amazing way to support your rituals and ceremonies. You can put little devotional objects on there which raise your vibe when you see them. I love things like
- Mini statues of Goddesses
- Oracle cards that I have recently drawn
- Essential oils in a burner on my altar
- Little objects to symbolise fire, earth, air and water
- Crystals which vibe with my needs and moods
- A picture of whatever I am manifesting at the time
If you’re curious to know more, later on today I will be running a free workshop about using rituals with the Moon to help you create the life you’re dreaming of.
It’s the final session in a 3-part series I have held this week and it works as a stand-alone if you didn’t make it to the first two – please click here if you would like to reserve your free ticket!
