November New Moon Ritual

New Moon Tarot Spell: Building the Inner Sanctuary

🌑 Purpose:

To use tarot as a magical tool for setting intentions, releasing lingering energies from the waning moon, and planting seeds for inner strength, protection, and spiritual growth during the new lunar cycle.

🧺 Supplies:

  • Your tarot deck
  • A black candle (banishing and protection)
  • A white candle (clarity and new beginnings)
  • A small bowl of water and salt
  • A journal or paper and pen
  • Optional: herbs (lavender, rosemary, mugwort) and crystals (smoky quartz, moonstone)

🧘‍♀️ Preparation:

  1. Cleanse your space with smoke, sound, or salt water.
  2. Set up your altar with candles, tarot deck, crystals, and herbs.
  3. Ground yourself with deep breaths and a short meditation.
  4. Light the candles, saying:
  • “Black candle, guard my space and spirit.”
  • “White candle, illuminate my path forward.”

🔮 The Tarot Spread: “Sanctuary Within”

Lay out the cards in a circle or lodge-like shape to reflect the beaver’s protective home.

✨ Spellwork Integration:

After interpreting your cards:

  1. Write down your insights in your journal.
  2. Create a simple affirmation or intention based on your reading (e.g., “I build my inner strength and release what no longer serves me.”).
  3. Sprinkle salt into the water, dip your fingers in, and anoint your third eye and heart.
  4. Speak your affirmation aloud, holding your tarot deck or a crystal.
  5. Close the ritual by extinguishing the candles and saying: “As the moon begins anew, so do I. My path is clear, my spirit protected, my heart strong.”
