Here’s a detailed New Moon ritual based on your three-card tarot spread: What to Release, What to Accept, What to Hold Onto. This ritual is designed to help you align with the energy of the New Moon—planting seeds of intention while honoring what needs to shift, settle, or stay.
🌑 New Moon Tarot Ritual: Release, Accept, Hold Onto
🕯️ Supplies:
- Your tarot deck
- A journal and pen
- Three candles (optional: black, white, and green or gold)
- A small bowl of water (for cleansing)
- A fire-safe dish or cauldron (for burning paper)
- Small pieces of paper and something to write with
- Crystals or herbs associated with new beginnings (e.g., moonstone, clear quartz, rosemary, mugwort)
🌙 Step-by-Step Ritual
1. Create Sacred Space
Cleanse your space with smoke, sound, or intention. Light your candles—black for release, white for clarity and acceptance, and green/gold for growth and abundance. Place your bowl of water nearby as a symbol of lunar energy.
Take a few deep breaths. Center yourself. Say aloud or silently:
“Under this New Moon, I open to transformation. I honor what has been, what is, and what is becoming.”
2. Draw Your Cards
Shuffle your tarot deck while focusing on the three intentions:
- What do I need to release?
- What do I need to accept?
- What do I need to hold onto?
Draw one card for each and lay them out in a row.
3. Reflect and Journal
Spend time with each card. Write down:
- The card’s imagery and symbolism
- Your intuitive interpretation
- How it applies to your current life
Prompts:
- Release: What am I ready to let go of? What has run its course?
- Accept: What truth or reality must I embrace to move forward?
- Hold Onto: What strengths, values, or relationships are my foundation?
4. Ritual Actions
For Release:
Write what you’re releasing on a piece of paper. Read it aloud, then burn it safely in your fire-safe dish. As the smoke rises, say:
“I release what no longer serves me. I make space for new beginnings.”
For Acceptance:
Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and anoint your forehead and heart. Say:
“I accept what is. I trust the unfolding of my path.”
For Holding Onto:
Hold your chosen crystal or herb. Speak aloud what you are choosing to keep and nurture. Say:
“I hold onto what strengthens me. I carry it forward with love and purpose.”
5. Set Your New Moon Intention
Now that you’ve cleared space and grounded in your truth, write a clear, heartfelt intention for the lunar cycle ahead. Keep it present-tense and empowering.
Example:
“I am building a life rooted in joy and aligned with my soul’s purpose.”
Place this intention on your altar or somewhere visible.
6. Close the Ritual
Blow out your candles in reverse order (green/gold, white, black). Thank your guides, the Moon, and yourself. Say:
“This ritual is complete. So mote it be.”
