the full moon: how to create your own ritual.
The practice of moon rituals, has become more prevalent of late. Which is very exciting to see! More of us have become increasingly in touch with our natural flow and cycles; which in turn allows us to be more in touch with who we are and what we desire.
The full moon's energy is masculine (yang), so it can feel quite powerful to those who are sensitive to its energy. Everyone is affected by the moon's energies, and can usually feel their emotions boiling to the surface, ready to be purged. This can come out as creative energy or it can manifest as anxious energy. Depending on how you feel during the full moon, is how you decide to practice your ritual.
The full moon is a time to reap and celebrate what has been harvested. Harvested in a physical and an emotional sense. Enjoy your rewards and give thanks to what the universe has gifted you.
The full moon is a great time to think about what you need to let go of in order to grow and flourish. To make space for the new. Much like trimming your plant of dead leaves, or a snake shedding its skin.
If you have never practiced a full moon ritual before, it may feel daunting as to where to begin. Below is my blueprint on how to get started with your full moon ritual.
Step #1 - add the full moon dates into your calendar
Firstly, I recommend adding the dates of the full moon's to your diary or calendar. Set a reminder on your phone so that you can prepare for your ritual. Find out at timeanddate.com
Step #2 - begin small
For your first ritual, I recommend starting small. Start with one thing. Then add something else to your next one. A full moon ritual doesn't have to be elaborate. It is for you and for no-one else. Let your intuition guide you. If all you want to do is go outside and bathe in the moonlight, then that is a beautiful ritual for yourself.

Step #3 - suggested activities for your ritual
The full moon is a time of abundant energy and transformation. The energy can either make you feel energetic and passionate, or you may feel overwhelmed and anxious. The moon will illuminate the parts of you that you need to focus on during the next cycle. Your ritual will reflect this. Ground yourself and avoid starting anything new or signing contracts.

Step #4 - consider the type of moon and what it represents
Once you have a few full moon rituals under your belt, consider the type of full moon and what it represents. This will determine the type of energy that this full moon will bring. For example, if it is an Aries full moon, childlike activities will be of benefit such as painting, dancing or any activity that you enjoyed as a child. I have readings services available if you would like a personalised reading for the full moon. I’ll be sharing more resources and content in the future about this topic.
Step #5 - you do you
Ultimately, you are the master of your rituals. Listen to your intuition on how you wish to practice each ritual. Each time will be different and will have a different vibe to it. How your friends choose to practice their ritual, doesn't mean it is how you should. Sometimes you may want to meet with your friends (or coven) to celebrate together, or other times you may want to be alone. This is all perfectly more than fine. You do you.
time to practice your full moon ritual
REMEMBER:
The full moon is around for 2-3 days, not just one.
You can practice your ritual during the day (charge your tools at night if you want the moonlight).
It is ok to forget to practice. Or if you choose not to practice.
You do you.
Please go gently with yourself.
