Going Dark w/ the Moon
In my personal Moon Magick practice, I consider the days leading up to New Moon as the Dark Moon phase.
Just as life is created in the dark of the womb, the Dark Moon phase is where New Moon intentions are created. I love diving "into the dark" through meditation, journaling, or other contemplative practices. From this intuitive space my New Moon intention is born.
Monday the 14th is New Moon, making this weekend the Dark Moon phase & an excellent time for pausing & reflecting.
As a Witchy Coach I support my clients in reflecting on the past as a way to gather info about who they truly are. They can then use this info to make different choices in the future.
"The best way to predict the future is to understand how the present evolved from the past." Carl Jung
To prepare for the creation of your New Moon intention, I invite you to carve out time this Dark Moon weekend to reflect on how you used your energy this past month.
Look through your journal, your planner, your Google calendar, your text messages, or whatever you need to do to remember what happened since last New Moon on November 14th.
Then grab your journal & answer these questions:
How did I spend my time?
How often did I connect with Nature?
What are my accomplishments?
What were my challenges?
Which milestones did I reach?
What did I learn?
Now take some time to breathe & connect again with your body. Reflecting back can be quite inspiring or really overwhelming or everything in-between & beyond. Whatever is coming up for you now is OK. Be in it.
With all the reflection information you've gathered, what is your intention for this New Moon? What different choices do you want to make? Where do you want to welcome in more grace, ease, & love into your life?
May this message remind you that you are not broken & you do not need to be fixed. You are a magickal being with infinite possibilities.
