"Emergence" - A Moon Ritual For Your Future Self
This weekend we have a full moon in Aries to support themes of initiations, new beginnings, taking aligned action, releasing misalignments, personal expansion, creative expression, embracing our personal power, knowing and trusting the Self, and focusing on the value of our inner gifts and expressing them in our own unique way.
As an Aries Sun and Aries Moon, this time of year always feels extra magical for me, and I'm sharing a favorite moon ritual that I love to perform under the Hunter Moon. I hope it supports (or perhaps even initiates) your own moon practice and I'd dearly love to hear how it resonated with you if you have a moment to share your experience. Connecting through heart talk and the moon is my absolute love language.
For This Ritual You’ll Need
Solo time to get quiet and listen deeply
A Journal/pen
Separate sheet of paper
A candle
Flame-proof bowl/container
Favorite Crystal
Anything else that feels personal/sacred to you (flowers, essential oil, tarot/oracle deck, incense, herb smoke, hot tea etc.)
Spend time over the coming days when the moon is at her fullest and the energy at its most potent. Ideally, this ritual would be done outside, under the luminous Hunter Moon, but anywhere that feels magical and quiet to you is just perfect.
Ritual
Light your candle.
Call in the energy of the High Priestess (triple Goddess and keeper of the feminine mysteries and the Moon), along with any other favorite archetypes or guides, elements, ancestors etc.
Place your hand on your heart and intentionally shift your awareness away from the concerns of the external world and your thinking mind and turn inwards, connecting with the inner home and temple of the heart. You can do this via a brief meditation, repeating a mantra, listening to some beautiful soothing music or breath work etc.
Bring to mind a version or an aspect of yourself you’re ready to become and deeply imagine, envision this “you” that is a couple of steps ahead of where you find yourself.
