Harnessing Ancient Lunar Wisdom in Every Flame
The lunar cycle is the heartbeat of my practice—the sacred rhythm I follow in all of my work. The energy of the moon flows through every candle I craft, spell I cast, and space I cleanse. I work intuitively and soul-led, guided by my deep connection to the divine feminine and the sacred presence of Freyja.
The Energy of Stillness, Intention & Sacred Beginnings
The New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, when the moon turns inward and hides her light. The sky is dark, quiet, and full of mystery. It is in this fertile darkness that dreams are planted, intentions whispered, and energy is reset.
The New Moon holds a deeply introspective and powerful energy—a liminal space between what was and what is yet to be. It is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and begin again with clear, focused intention.
In this stillness, we reconnect with our inner voice, release what no longer serves, and set the tone for the coming moon cycle.
What the New Moon is Best Used For:
Intention-Setting: Clarify goals and desires for the month ahead.
Spiritual Cleansing: Clear stagnant energy from homes, workspaces, and the self.
Banishing & Cord-Cutting: Release habits, patterns, or energies that weigh you down.
New Beginnings: Start new projects, relationships, or inner journeys
Shadow Work & Inner Reflection: Embrace your truth and nurture your soul.
In your intuitive practice, the New Moon supports candle making, spells of renewal and release, and deep energy cleansing. When you work with this phase, you’re aligning with the energy of rebirth and sacred possibility—allowing your magic to take root in fertile, unseen soil.
Ancient Civilizations & the New Moon
The mystery of the New Moon was honoured across cultures as a sacred time of renewal, protection, and preparation:
Greeks & Romans: Marked the New Moon as the first day of each month (Noumenia), offering honey cakes and prayers to the gods. Rituals to Hekate during the dark moon cleared away old energies to welcome the new.
Hindus (Vedic tradition): Observed Amavasya, the New Moon, with fasting, prayers for ancestors, and cleansing rituals to align with divine energy.
Egyptians: Worshipped Khonsu, the moon god, during New Moon nights to restore vitality and order. Offerings were made to begin anew in harmony with the cosmos.
Aztecs: Saw the New Moon as a powerful, even fearsome moment—holding rituals to protect cosmic balance and ignite sacred fires to renew the world.
Norse & Celtic: Counted lunar months from the New Moon. Likely held moonlit ceremonies or made offerings to mark fresh cycles and honour the unseen wisdom of the dark moon.
To work with the New Moon is to honour the sacred pause—the moment of quiet magic before the rise. It is a time to release, reset, and reconnect with your soul’s path. Every candle lit, every intention set under this moon is a promise whispered into the dark… one that grows stronger with every phase to come.
The Energy of Amplification, Awakening & Soul Expansion
The Supermoon arrives in luminous glory—a Full Moon that draws closer to Earth than usual, appearing larger, brighter, and more breath-taking in the sky.
It’s a moon that cannot be ignored, one that magnifies all it touches.
Energetically, the Supermoon is an amplifier. Emotions run deeper, intuition heightens, and intentions carry greater weight. It is a powerful time to connect with your higher self, supercharge your spells, deepen your healing, and call in soul-aligned transformation.
This moon doesn't just light the sky—it awakens something ancient within us, reminding us of our connection to the divine, the cosmos, and our truest path.
What the Supermoon is Best Used For:
High-Powered Manifestation: Set bold intentions and amplify your dreams
Deep Emotional Healing: Release old wounds and clear energetic patterns.
Spellwork & Candle Magic: Harness its amplified energy for breakthrough rituals.
Charging Sacred Tools: Infuse your crystals, waters, and talismans with potent lunar energy.
Spiritual Awakening: Receive guidance, align with purpose, and open your intuitive gifts.
Supermoon nights are perfect for creating your most powerful candles, melts, and bespoke rituals. Under this rare moon, every act of magic is magnified—your spells are louder, your prayers reach further, and your light shines brighter.
Ancient Echoes of the Supermoon
Though the term Supermoon is modern, the awe it inspires is ancient. Civilizations across time recognized unusually bright or large full moons as sacred omens:
Babylonians & Greeks: Observed brighter full moons and linked them to prophetic signs, divine favour, or changes in leadership.
Romans: Believed large full moons brought heightened energy for fertility, wisdom, and harvest.
Celtic & Norse: Likely saw larger moons as messages from the gods—times to gather, give offerings, and embrace transformation.
Aztecs & Mayans: Honoured dramatic full moons in sky ceremonies, believing they marked moments of cosmic significance.
Hindus & Buddhists: Celebrated full moons with heightened ritual energy—Supermoons would have been seen as even more auspicious, pouring divine light over earthly ceremonies.
When you work with a Supermoon, you are stepping into a sacred current—a time when the veil is thin, energy is heightened, and the universe listens closely. Every candle you pour, every intention you speak, every home you cleanse during this phase is blessed with amplified magic. This is lunar power at its peak—pure, radiant, and soul-stirring.
The Energy of Illumination, Clarity & Release
The Full Moon rises in her fullness like a glowing silver mirror, illuminating both the world around us and the truths within us. It is the high point of the lunar cycle—a time when energy peaks, emotions surface, and intentions begin to manifest. Spiritually, the Full Moon acts as a spotlight for the soul,
revealing what is ready to be seen,
celebrated, or released.
This phase is potent, magnetic, and deeply intuitive. It draws things to the surface—dreams, desires, blockages, and blessings alike. Many feel more emotionally charged, creatively inspired, or spiritually connected during this time. It’s a natural amplifier, making it ideal for spell work, rituals, and intention-setting that require clarity and power.
What the Full Moon is Best Used For:
Manifestation:
Amplify your desires and call in abundance.
Releasing: Let go of limiting beliefs, emotional heaviness, and energetic clutter
Divination & Insight: Heightened
intuition makes this the perfect time for tarot, dreamwork, or meditation

Healing & Protection: A powerful moment to restore balance and reinforce boundaries.
In spell work and candle magic, the Full Moon empowers rituals of love, protection, abundance, spiritual awakening, and transformation. When you light a candle under this moon, you align with its radiant pull to manifest your soul’s intentions.

Hindus: Celebrate Purnima, the Full Moon day, with fasting, prayer, and ceremonies for clarity, peace, and divine blessings. Each Full Moon is tied to a specific spiritual festival.
