New moon rituals can recharge and re-calibrate your energy by “charging” your intentions with moon power.

Below, are some simple but potent rituals for you to recharge your goals, set intention to new ones, and prepare for new beginnings this new moon.

1. CREATE A SACRED SPACE

Everyone should have a sanctuary in their home, and when you are utilizing the potent energy from the new moon, it is crucial that you prepare a sacred space to perform your ritual.

Whether you want to make an altar in a special corner in your home, your kitchen table, your room or even your nightstand; make sure to create a space that looks calming and where you have symbolic talismans and personal or religious artifacts to bless and clear the space of any stagnant negative energy.

Choose a “place” that will remain undisturbed in your home, where you can go to recharge, reflect and manifest. Creating an altar in your home symbolically acts as a portal to another dimension, a place where time and space have no meaning.

Once you set aside time to care for yourself, love yourself and bring consciousness to your desires in a sacred space, the world seems to slow down just a bit, and magic often manifests itself in a variety of subtle and not so subtle ways.
