New Moon Magic

Monday was the new moon for November and I decided to use its power to aid me in overcoming some personal hurdles as well as starting some healthy new beginnings, all of which the new moon is perfect for.

I decided to use herbs that would strengthen my convictions and give my wishes a little kick in the pants, and being the moon of the Maiden Goddess, I bundled those herbs in a small white cloth, the color of the Maiden, tied with a healing fat blue string. I used a simple ceremony with my circle pretty much stripped down to its barest and I summoned the Goddess Diana to aid me in my work by the power of the new moon. I used the power of the four elements and seven carefully chosen herbs in my magickal sachet. And I've kept this little bundle of herbs with me each day and on my night table by night and so far it's working quite nicely.

It's a beautiful thing when it all comes together: the power of the moon, the elements, the deity called upon, and even the more mundane aspects of spellwork. It's enervating and exciting.

Sounds like a wonderful sachet! Which herbs did you use? I'd love for you to come over and consider submitting a post/article/creative work at The Lunar Gazette! Best of luck with your new beginnings, and brightest blessings!

Thanks- I'm looking forward to your blog as it grows and flourishes! I used vervain, thyme, lavender, rosemary, scullcap, yarrow and cinnamon. It's not only potent, but it smells pretty nice too! lol Let me see what I can come up with that's interesting and fun to submit to The Lunar Gazette! Peace! Victoria
