Recipe
A new moon reset that takes twelve minutes
You need a scrap of paper, a pinch of salt, and a candle if you have one. A phone flashlight will do.
- Clear one small surface. Not the whole house. One surface.
- Write down one thing you are done carrying and one thing you are willing to begin.
- Set the paper under the salt. If you have a candle, light it while you read both lines aloud.
- When you are finished, fold the paper toward you and tuck it in a book until the next new moon.
- Wash the cup or plate you used. The washing is part of the spell.
That is the whole working. If you want to dress it up with herbs from the shop, rosemary is enough. The point is to make a mark in the month, not to perform for an invisible audience.
