The Ritual:

1. Light the candle. Let the flame symbolize your fresh start.
2. Reflect and journal: What are you ready to release?
3. Read what you wrote aloud, then safely burn or destroy the paper.

5. Close by writing three words to describe the energy you want to welcome in.

Tip: Pair this with our Moon Sanity Tracker or the Strawberry Moon Journal.
