In my book, Evolution of Goddess, I explain how moon energy can be harnessed at any time of night. “It’s best channeled in dreams, meditation, ceremony, and ritual. By aligning with the moon’s phases, you can allow moon energy to reinvent, recharge, realign, or rebirth you, with every cycle of expansion. The new moon is a fresh start. With it comes the energy of new beginnings, the start of a new lunar cycle.” Point being that the new moon is a pretty ideal time to ignite your deepest desires. Then—and this is important!—let it burn out. You never want to blow out your candle since you’re essentially blowing out your intention! You can smudge it if needed, but it’s better to just let it burn out completely if possible. Common sense applies here. Oils and herbs are flammable, so don’t leave your candle burning unsupervised. I like using quick-burning candles that will burn in a matter of hours for this reason. As long as the flame is burning, you’re conspiring with the Universe to help you on your path. And once it’s out, it’s on you to bring your dreams to life.
