New Moon Ritual with Bloodstone
What You’ll Need:
- Bloodstone crystal (tumbled or raw)
- White candle
- Journal & pen
- Optional: Star Chain Tassel Bracelet (for energy sealing)
Step 1: Cleanse Your Space
Begin by smudging with sage or palo santo. Hold your Bloodstone under running water while affirming: "Waters of renewal, cleanse this stone and my spirit." Place it beside a lit white candle. For added clarity, use a quartz pendulum to clear energy blockages in your ritual area.
Step 2: Ground with Bloodstone Meditation
Sit cross-legged, holding Bloodstone over your root chakra. Breathe deeply and visualize crimson light moving up your spine. Whisper: "I am rooted in strength, protected in change." Journal insights about fears or habits ready to release.
Step 3: Set Bold Intentions
Write 3-5 intentions starting with "I courageously..." (e.g., "I courageously speak my truth at work"). Place the Bloodstone on top of your written intentions. If aligned with astrology, wear zodiac bangles corresponding to your sign to harmonize cosmic energy.
Step 4: Energy Activation
Drip candle wax onto your paper to "seal" intentions (or tie intentions with the Star Chain Tassel Bracelet). Chant: "By earth and fire, my spirit lifts higher." Sleep with Bloodstone under your pillow to invite transformative dreams.
Carrying the Energy Forward
Wear Bloodstone jewelry like this gold stainless steel bead bracelet daily to maintain your ritual’s vibration. Revisit your intentions weekly by moonlight, letting Bloodstone’s energy refine your path.
"The new moon is not an end, but a doorway. Let Bloodstone be your guide through it." — Lila Moon, Crystal Alchemist
