The new moon is a time for intentions, beginnings, & quiet courage

This new moon ritual is a holy pause—dark soil before the sprout. This rite gathers your focus, clears the room with gentle steam and smoke, and invites your whole body into intention. The journal names your seed. The oil blesses your path. The crystal and selenite steady your field. Planting basil gives your promise a living home, so your intention isn’t just a thought—it’s something you water. 

What to expect after

• A quieter mind and a single, clear intention you can carry for the next 2–4 weeks
• A felt sense of “begin again,” with small, doable next steps
• Subtle synchronicities and nudges that align with what you called in
• A simple daily anchor (anoint, sip moon water, tend basil) to keep momentum alive
• A softer, cleaner atmosphere in your space from the simmer pot and candle

What included in the kit

• Simmer pot botanical blend + instruction slip
• Moon water (bottle)
• Moon oil (anointing roller)
• Small journal & pen
• Tea light candle
• Matchbook
• Selenite stick
• Intuitively chosen crystal
• Sage smudge stick
• Basil seeds
• Biodegradable pot (or starter cup) for basil

How To Use This Kit

Set the Space 

1. Create your nest. Silence your phone. Lay out your kit.
2. Simmer cleanse. Add the included simmer blend to a small pot of water and keep on low heat nearby (never unattended). Let the steam carry heaviness away.
3. Smoke or stone. If you enjoy smoke, light the sage smudge and waft it around you, your tools, and doorway. If you’re smoke-free, circle your space with selenite instead.
4. Candle of welcome. Light the tealight with the matchbook and whisper: “I enter sacred time.”
5. Center. Right hand to heart, left to womb/navel. Breathe 4-count in, 4 hold, 6 out × 7 cycles.

Next Steps

6. Anoint. Touch moon oil to crown, wrists, and heart: “I choose the path that chooses me.”
7. Name the seed. In your journal, write one to three intentions in present tense (what you are calling in). Keep them short, clear, alive.
8. Plant the promise. Moisten the basil pot with a sip of moon water. Tuck in a pinch of basil seeds while speaking one intention aloud.
9. Seal with sip. Take a small sip of moon water. With the intuitive crystal in your palm, repeat your intention three times.
10. Charge. Place the selenite stick beside your journal and near the planted basil to keep the field clear while your seed takes root.
11. Close. Snuff (don’t blow) the candle: “From holy nothing, everything.

After-Care:

• Water basil lightly every 1–2 days; whisper your intention while watering.

• Anoint wrists with moon oil each morning for 7 days.

• Keep the crystal with you; rest it on the selenite overnight.

Moon Water Notes

• Your bottle is blessed and ready. Use by sipping mindfully, anointing wrists, or watering your basil.
• Want more later? Fill a glass jar with fresh water, cover, and set it where moonlight reaches (indirect is okay). Label with date + moon phase. Use within 3 days (refrigerate if you like).

Safety & Care

• Fire: Never leave candle or stove unattended. Snuff to extinguish.
• Smoke: Ventilate if smudging; skip smoke if sensitive—selenite + simmer steam cleanse beautifully.
• Oils: External use only. Patch test. Avoid eyes/mucous membranes.
• Selenite: Keep dry (water-soluble).
• Seeds: For planting, not for consumption. Keep from small children/pets.

Daily Whisper 

Hand to heart: “I am becoming what I already am.”

Anoint, sip, tend your basil, and step into the day.
