The Power of the Full Moon
The full moon has always been a time of illumination, reflection, and release. Her silvery light magnifies what’s already present—our dreams, emotions, and intentions.
When we create ritual around this lunar phase, we align with her cycles of expansion and completion. Whether you’re a seasoned witch or just beginning your practice, this simple yet powerful ritual with crystals, candles, and tea will help you cleanse, center, and reconnect with your intuition.
Step 1: Prepare Your Space
Before beginning, clear your environment of clutter and stagnant energy.
- Cleanse the area: Use incense, sound (a bell or chime), or a cleansing spray.
- Dim the lights: Let the moonlight or candlelight guide you.
- Gather your tools:
- Your chosen crystals
- A ritual candle
- A cup of loose-leaf tea
- A journal and pen for reflection
Crimson Moon Tip: Play soft ambient music or nature sounds to deepen your connection to the moment.
Step 2: Choose Your Crystals Intuitively
Each full moon carries its own energy depending on the zodiac sign it falls under, but in general, full moons are about release, clarity, and manifestation.
Here are a few stones that align beautifully with lunar magic:
| Intention | Crystal Allies |
|---|---|
| Emotional release | Moonstone, Selenite, Lepidolite |
| Manifestation & clarity | Clear Quartz, Citrine, Labradorite |
| Protection & grounding | Black Tourmaline, Smoky Quartz, Hematite |
Hold each crystal in your hand and ask, “Will you work with me tonight?”—notice which ones feel warm, tingly, or comforting. That’s your intuition guiding you.
Step 3: Light Your Candle
Choose a candle that corresponds to your intention:
- White or silver for clarity and peace
- Black for release and protection
- Pink for self-love and healing
- Gold or yellow for confidence and success
As you light the wick, say softly:
“Under this full moon’s glow, I release what no longer serves and welcome what aligns with my highest good.”
Focus on the flame and imagine it illuminating your inner truth.
Step 4: Sip Tea with Intention
Tea rituals are one of the most grounding and accessible forms of magic. As you brew your tea, infuse it with purpose:
- Chamomile or lavender for calm release
- Rose or hibiscus for heart-centered healing
- Green tea for renewal and clarity
As you sip, close your eyes. Feel warmth spreading through your body like moonlight filling a dark room. Each sip is a breath of release, each exhale a letting go.
Crimson Moon Tip: Add a small piece of clear quartz beside your teacup to amplify your intention.
Step 5: Reflect and Release
Once your candle is burning and your tea is nearly gone, take a few minutes to journal.
Prompts to explore:
- What am I ready to release?
- What truth has come into the light this moon?
- What do I want to welcome as I move forward?
You can write freely or even pull a tarot or oracle card for guidance.
When finished, thank your tools and the moon for their presence. Blow out your candle gently, signaling the ritual’s close.
After the Ritual
Keep your crystals on a windowsill overnight to absorb moonlight, and discard any leftover tea outdoors to return your offering to the earth.
Take note of how you feel in the following days—often, full moon rituals continue working through your dreams, energy, and emotions.
