🌑 How to Use Intention Candles in Your New Moon Ritual

(By Serendipitous Wicks)

The new moon is a quiet invitation. A moment to slow down, take stock, and plant seeds for the life you want to grow. At Serendipitous Wicks, we believe in the power of ritual to bring your intentions to life — and your candle is more than just a light. It’s your companion, your altar, your focus.

If you’ve been wondering how to work with an intention candle during a new moon, here’s a gentle guide just for you.

 

✨ Why the New Moon is Sacred

During the new moon, the sky is dark — like a blank page waiting for your words. It’s the perfect time to set new goals, whisper wishes into the universe, and open to fresh possibilities.

Even if you’re not sure what you want yet, the simple act of lighting a candle can help you center and listen to yourself.

🕯️ What You’ll Need:

✅ A quiet, comfortable space

✅ Your journal or a piece of paper

✅ Your Luna Moth Ritual Candle (or any intention candle that calls to you)

✅ A lighter or matches

🌙 Step‑by‑Step New Moon Ritual:

 

1️⃣ Prepare Your Space

Find a spot where you won’t be disturbed. Clear off a small table or corner of your altar. You can light some incense, play soft music, or simply take a few deep breaths.

Place your candle in front of you and feel its weight, its purpose.

2️⃣ Reflect & Write

Close your eyes. Ask yourself: What do I want to call into my life this month? What would feel good to grow?

Write down 1–3 clear, positive intentions. They can be simple:

• I welcome more peace into my home.
• I open to love and connection.
• I trust myself to take the next step.

3️⃣ Light Your Candle

As you light the wick, speak your intentions aloud, or simply hold them in your heart as you watch the flame come alive. Imagine the light carrying your wishes upward, weaving them into the quiet night.

4️⃣ Sit & Soak It In

Spend a few moments breathing, letting the glow of the candle remind you of your own light. When you feel ready, you can snuff out the flame — or let it burn a little longer while you journal or meditate.
