“By moon’s silver glow and Earth’s embrace,
I cast this circle, a sacred space.”
Invocation
Call upon lunar and seasonal energies:

Bring your clarity and cleansing light.
Guide me now through winter’s rest,
To purify and manifest.”
Main Ritual Steps
1. Purification
- Light the white candle.
- Speak:
“By the Snow Moon’s power, I cleanse my spirit and space.” - Sprinkle snow or ice water around the circle for symbolic purification.
2. Release and Renewal
- Write down fears, doubts, or habits you wish to release.
- Hold the paper over the blue candle and say:
“I release what no longer serves me. I welcome peace and clarity.” - Burn the paper in a fireproof dish. Drop ashes into the water bowl.
3. Intention Planting

- Place the paper under the silver candle.
- Say:
“By the Snow Moon’s light, these seeds shall grow.”
4. Crystal Charging

- Visualize lunar energy flowing into the crystals and your goals.
5. Meditation for Clarity

- Repeat affirmations:
“I am clear. I am calm. I am ready for renewal.”

- Walk counterclockwise to release the circle.
