Many have asked me about the ceremonies my family has kept for generations and is it good to adapt them to their lives and i realize that this is a question due to fear of the unknown. Ceremonies are just that. This is group was desinged to share knowledge of all sorts. During my awakening and rebirth( survial of the fire) I realized that I can no longer fear.... The reality is that the things we fear are already presented to us every day in a different way. If you celebrate holidays you including your birthday than you have rituals and ceremonies.
I suggest you have no fear of any thing you choose to do. They may be what is right for you personally.And all in all what only you and the most high know what is right for you PERSONALLY. I picked this email to place this particular ceremony on because it is alchemy in a sort. You use the elemnets of wood( akasha) ,fire,water(your body in the new moon), air, and your creative force of will to help you project your goals and use your higher senses . Brings these elements and aligning your self with them allows you to use your full potential.
So enjoy the 1st New(Nu) moon of 2007 on January 19 . If you have any questions email me back.
New Moon Manifestation Preparation
Check the calendar for the next upcoming new moon. Set aside 20-30 minutes to do the ritual itself. Supply suggestions: 2 Notebooks, colored pens, scissors, scotch tape, candle, matches, incense, smudge sticks, flower essences, etc. Prepare yourself a sacred space to perform the ceremony at. Setting your New Moon Intentions in Motion
Cleanse your sacred area with an opening prayer, a sage smudging, and/or by burning some incense.
Light one or more candles.
Center your being and calm yourself in whatever way is appropriate for you. You might enjoy sipping on a cup of chamomile or mint tea. I also have a special blend of flower essences that I use specifically for manifesting rituals that works well enough.
Open your notebook, and date it. Write down these words or similar words. "I accept these things into my life now or something better for my highest good and for the highest good of all concerned." Below this statement, begin writing down your desires. Your list may consist of only one item or you may have several pages written down. Try not to limit yourself. If having many things in your life helps to fulfill you then don't deny yourself wanting these things. During the month when an item on your new moon list comes to you, don't merely cross it off of your list, take the time to rewrite the list in its entirety eliminating the manifested item from the listing. This is highly recommended. At the same time you may add whatever else that you have decided you would like. Feel free to reword any of the original phrases if they better fit your life now. It is only natural that your desires change over days/weeks/ months/years.
The second notebook will be used as a where you paste in pictures or catalog clippings of items that you want to manifest. This is a fun project so enjoy yourself. You will soon be amazed how these things begin to find their way into your life once you start this practice. I pasted a photo of a spa in my scrapbook and manifested it in just a few months time.
Rededicating your New Moon Intentions
Each month at the new moon you rededicate your intentions by renewing the list at a repeated ritual. This is accomplished by rewriting them out, removing the items that no longer feed your soul and adding those that do. I like to salt and pepper my manifest list with smaller items that will manifest quickly, such as tickets to the ballet, or lunch with a friend, or a day of all play and no work. You may think that these are such small things that they don't apply or are not worth writing down. Wrong! Believing that these are things that we can easily acquire so its not really manifesting upsets the balance. Manifesting smaller items on our lists actually gives life to the list. These smaller manifestations create movement.....an ebb and flow of the tides. We are dealing here with the moon cycles after all. Besides, sometimes we forget to enjoy the smaller pleasures in our lives while we are waiting for the BIG stuff to come in. If you only write statements like, "I want to win the lottery" in your notebook then you are limiting yourself by not allowing abundance to flow to you from other avenues.
