Nature is the ultimate creator. At a nearby gardening store or hardware store, get an assortment of seed packets to plant newness into your life. If your thumb is not the greenest, try a wildflower mix or poppies, which are extremely hardy and will grow quickly and spread, beautifying any area. They reseed themselves, which is a lovely bonus.
On a new moon morning, draw a square in your yard with a “found in nature” wand, a fallen branch. Apartment dwellers can use a planter on a deck or a big pot for this ritual. Each corner of the square needs a candle and a special stone. I get my stones at new age bookstores, which often have the shiny tumbled versions for as little as one dollar. Mark the corners as follows:
- Green candle and peridot or jade for creativity, prosperity, and growth
- Orange candle and jasper or onyx for clear thinking and highest consciousness
- Blue candle and turquoise or celestine for serenity, kindness, and a happy heart
- White candle and quartz or limestone for purification and safety
Repeat this chant as you light each candle:
Greatest Selene, I turn to you to help me renew,
under this new moon and in this old earth.
Blessings to you; blessings to me.
Blessed be.
Put the seeds under the soil with your fingers and tamp them down gently with your wand, the branch, which you should also stick in the ground at this time. Water your new moon garden and affirmative change will begin in your life that very day.
