Rituals/Magic

Ritual is a common practice among the spiritually connected.  Ancient rituals have survived via Spiritual/religious beliefs, ethnic cultures, and family traditions.  New generation rituals can also be invented through purposeful intention.  If an action empowers you, I say ritualize it!

I have always found corresponding my intentions and rituals to the phases of the moon one of the most successful practices and here’s why.

The importance of the Moon’s energy has been known since ancient times.  It has an affect on the tides on lakes and the high seas; on plant growth, animals, and human behaviors. The moon rules over the life-giving liquids of our human bodies, such as the menstrual cycle and the cardiovascular system.  The moon affects our thoughts our emotional responsiveness and our psychic energies and for this reason the moon has a direct influence on magical and spiritual work. 

  Focused emotion energizes magic because it is redirected energy.  Using the phases of the moon in coordination with your focused thoughts assists in manifesting what it is you’re focusing your emotions on.  Make sense?

  Using the most appropriate lunar phase will effectively provide the most beneficial energy needed to execute appropriate rituals.
