Expert Answer

Well, plan according to the new moon date. Write out your manifestation and gather all the necessary objects—such as candles, herbs, and essential oils—in advance. On the right night, set everything up in a circle, creating a sacred space. If you're using candles, make sure to take all the necessary precautions to not set anything on fire.

Question

Do I have to be spiritually awakened to perform this ritual?

Community Answer

No, you don't. Anyone can do this ritual; most rituals aren't bound to what a person is, but rather what their intention is.

Question

Can you perform these rituals on special days, such as Hallows Eve? Does the fact that there will be a second full moon within the month affect anything?

Community Answer

You can do spells on Hallows' Eve, the blue moon (second full moon), or any regular day. Here we are focusing on the new moon. Beginning spells are good for the new moon, completion and intuition spells for the full moon, spells to decrease things during the waning moon, spells to increase things during the waxing moon for best results.

Question

How long after the new moon arrives can ritual be performed?

Community Answer

Ideally, you will perform your New Moon ritual on the day of the New Moon so that you can harness the full energy of the New Moon. This happens once a month.

Question

Is it okay to keep the sage burning while doing my ceremony, or should it be put out once I have cleansed my desired area/objects?

Community Answer

If you're not going to use it for anything else, I would recommend putting it out so nothing else catches on fire. If you have a safe place to keep the burning sage, then you can keep it burning if you'd like to.

Kam Jia Le

Community Answer

A yellow candle/green candle, a green leaf, statues of a God and Goddess that is related to the spell. These will help the wealth ritual.

After your burn your intention, do you turn off the candle or keep it burning?

Let the candle burn until it has faded. Some say that the smoke is what sends the message to the gods.
