- The night of a new moon, or the day or two just after, while it's still a bare sliver.
What you'll need
A white or black candle, paper and a pen, a small piece of moonstone or clear quartz if you have one (not required).

Words to speak
“The sky is dark and so is the page. I'm not asking for the whole moon tonight — just a beginning. Let this take root, and let me do the work it needs.”
Say them as written, or put them in your own words — sincerity matters more than exact phrasing.
How to do it
Light the candle, then write down one to three intentions for the coming month — specific enough that you'll actually know if they happened. Fold the paper once and keep it somewhere you'll see it (under a candle holder, in a drawer you open often). Let the candle burn a while as you sit with the list, then extinguish it safely.
Safety
- Never leave a candle or flame unattended. Burn paper only in a fireproof dish, away from curtains, pets and children.
- Spells support real-world action; they don't replace medical, legal, financial or safety help.
