As the first full moon of 2025 graces the sky on January 13, it invites us to pause, reflect, and align with its luminous energy. Known as the Wolf Moon, this full moon carries the essence of strength, instinct, and the power of community—echoing the spirit of the wolf. At Longtime Sun, we believe in the power of rituals to ground us and bring a sense of purpose to our lives. Here is a simple, empowering full moon ritual to guide you in embracing this celestial moment.
A Full Moon Ritual to Embrace and Release
- This ritual is designed to help you reflect on your journey, express gratitude, and release what no longer serves you. It’s a beautiful way to honor the natural cycles of the moon and life.
Preparation
Set the Mood
- Choose a quiet, comfortable space indoors or under the moonlight.
- Light candles in white or silver to connect with the moon’s energy.
- Burn incense or diffuse essential oils like sandalwood or lavender.
- Arrange crystals like moonstone, selenite, or clear quartz to amplify your intentions.
2. Gather Supplies
- A journal and pen.
- A small piece of paper and a fire-safe bowl for burning.
- A bowl of water for purification.
- Crystals you want to charge under the full moon.
The Ritual
1. Ground and Center
- Sit comfortably and take deep breaths. Visualize roots growing from your body into the earth, anchoring you. Feel the energy of the earth and moon flowing through you.
2. Invocation
- Call upon the moon’s energy, your higher self, or any spiritual beings you wish to invoke. You might say: “I call upon the radiant energy of the Wolf Moon. Guide me as I embrace my path, trust my instincts, and release what no longer serves me.”
3. Reflect and Release
- Write in your journal about what you’ve accomplished or learned during the past lunar cycle. Then, on a small piece of paper, list what you’re ready to release—habits, fears, or doubts.
- Hold the paper and say aloud: “I release all that holds me back. May it dissolve under the light of this Full Moon.”
- Burn the paper safely, letting the ashes fall into your fire-safe bowl or water.
4. Manifestation and Gratitude
- Write down your intentions for the coming cycle. What do you wish to invite into your life? Visualize these intentions as if they are already your reality.
- Express gratitude for the moon’s guidance and the blessings in your life.
5. Charge Your Crystals
- Place your crystals, jewelry, or tools under the moonlight to cleanse and recharge them with the energy of the Wolf Moon. This strengthens their vibrations and aligns them with your intentions.
6. Water Ritual
- Dip your hands in the water or sprinkle it on yourself as a symbol of purification and renewal. You can leave the water outside overnight to absorb moonlight and use it for blessings later.
7. Closing
- Thank the moon and any spiritual energies you invited. Ground yourself by imagining your energy stabilizing and centering within you.
