Waxing Moon Growth Ritual
To tend an intention through the phase where most people abandon it.
Purpose
To tend an intention through the phase where most people abandon it.
When to use it
Waxing Crescent through First Quarter.
MoonMagicx Lunar Method™ phase: Waxing Crescent.
What you need
• The pot or seed from your New Moon ritual
• Green Aventurine or Moss Agate
• Alfalfa or clover
• A green candle
Preparation
Look at the intention again and decide whether it is still true. It is allowed to have changed.
Preparing the space
Keep the same arrangement as the New Moon ritual, adding the herb to the soil.
Opening
Light the candle. Say: 'I tend without demanding proof.'
Step by step
1. Sprinkle the herb on the soil.
2. Say the intention aloud, then name the one action you took since the New Moon.
3. If you took none, name the smallest possible action and do it before you go to bed.
4. Place the crystal beside the pot.
5. Water once.
6. Repeat briefly every three days until the First Quarter.
Spoken words
'Root before leaf. Leaf before flower.
I am allowed to be in the unglamorous part.
I tend, and it grows.'
Closing
Snuff the candle. Say: 'Tended.'
Aftercare
Track effort rather than results for the rest of the phase.
Reflection
Growth that is invisible is still growth. Most abandonment happens here, not at the start.
Journal prompts
