🌙 How to Use Candles for New & Full Moon Rituals

The moon affects our emotions, intuition, energy, and internal rhythm — and when you combine its natural cycles with the grounding power of fire, intention, and clean candles, you unlock a powerful spiritual practice.

Every moon phase brings a different energy.
Every candle color holds a different vibration.
And every ritual helps you reconnect with yourself.

Here’s how to use candles during the new moon and full moon to manifest, release, and align with your highest self.

🌑 NEW MOON RITUALS — Set New Intentions

The new moon is a reset.
A blank slate.
A fresh beginning.

This is the phase for:
✨ Manifestation
✨ Goal-setting
✨ Calling in new energy
✨ Planting spiritual seeds
✨ Vision planning

Best Candle Colors for New Moon Rituals:

• White → clarity, purity, spiritual renewal

• Black → protection from old energy

• Green → growth & abundance

• Gold → confidence & success

• Pink → self-love & softness

How to Do a New Moon Candle Ritual:

1. Cleanse your space

Use palo santo, incense, sound bowls, or energy sprays.
Set the tone: “Only positive energy exists here.”

2. Light your candle with intention

Hold the candle in your hands and say:
“I invite new beginnings, clarity, and aligned opportunities.”

3. Write down what you want to manifest

Choose 3–5 intentions only.
Precision = power.
Examples:
– Call in financial stability
– Attract aligned relationships
– Strengthen self-love
– Build discipline
– Expand your business

4. Visualize the outcome

Sit with the candle flame and imagine your future self living the reality you desire.

5. Seal your intentions

Say:
“I claim this. I call this in. It is already mine.”

🌕 FULL MOON RITUALS — Release & Cleanse

The full moon brings everything to the surface.
It highlights what needs to be healed, cleared, or completed.

This phase is for:
✨ Releasing old energy
✨ Letting go of fear & self-doubt
✨ Cutting energetic cords
✨ Emotional healing
✨ Acknowledging your growth

Best Candle Colors for Full Moon Rituals:

• White → purity

• Black → protection & cord-cutting

• Blue → emotional healing

• Purple → spiritual clarity

• Lavender → calm & intuition

How to Do a Full Moon Candle Ritual:

1. Declutter your mental and physical space

What you release makes room for what you’re meant to receive.

2. Light your candle and affirm:

“I release all energy that no longer aligns with me.”

3. Write a Release List

Examples:
– Old heartbreak
– Bad habits
– Overthinking
– Fear-based decisions
– Negative self-talk

4. Burn or tear the release note (optional)

Fire transforms.
Tear it up or burn safely in a fire-safe dish.

5. Sit with the flame

Let emotion flow.
Cry, breathe, meditate, or journal.

Energy leaves your body through movement or emotion — allow it.
