Moon phase ritual tools, teas and flower essences

The Moon has a powerful effect on the earth; the movements of plant leaves move with the gravitational pull just as the tides of the ocean. The Moon increases moister in the soil during the New Moon phase marking a desirable time to sow seeds, causing swelling for greater germination and better-established plants. Just as plants harness the energy of the Moon, the human body consists of up to sixty percent water; we expand and contract water held in the body and can become stagnant from unprocessed emotions causing irritability and tiredness. Because the Moon distributes the vital forces of the Sun, this influences fluidic change, adaptability, and emotional changes through the sympathetic nervous system, influencing the deep subconscious and hidden emotions. The Moon takes us inward and outward depending on its entered cycles and rhythms. Each phase offers a time for reflection and wisdom into the mysteries of our connection to the natural world. This kit offers deep connection and invites ritual practice thought the year. 

New Moon Phase] Waning marks a new phase and is always in the same Sun sign of the zodiac each month. As the Moon decreases, it initiates a time for inner reflection, resting, and meditation. This is a good time for setting intentions and divination. Just as the New Moon increases moister for the earth. The New Moon can invoke emotions and hidden shadows, making this the perfect occasion to learn and discover more about ourselves under the veil. 

The New Moon is a  perfect time to formulate new intentions and re-evaluate existing ones. This is a resting energy phase, so get plenty of rest and give yourself the space to connect with your true purpose, passion, and mission. Set aside time for meditating or journaling, or head into nature for inspiration. From here, you can set intentions aligned with your authentic self. When you feel ready, write down your new intentions and go through your existing list to make sure they are still valid.
