Under the Full Moon: A Celestial Guide to Rituals, Magic & Renewal

Under the Full Moon: A Celestial Guide to Rituals, Magic & Renewal

There is a moment each month when the world seems to exhale - a soft shimmering pause where the sky opens and the moon unveils her fullest glow.

The Full Moon has long been honoured as a divine time of illumination, release, and energetic awakening. Her silver light touches the earth like a blessing, amplifying intention, intuition, and the quiet whispers of the soul. When we align with this luminous lunar energy, we are invited into a space of enchantment, transformation and spiritual refinement.

Her glow washes over the Earth like silver silk, reminding us that we to, are made of light, cycles, tides, and magic. The Full Moon is a sacred time of completion and clarity - a cosmic spotlight that reveals what must be released, what wishes to be strengthened and what desires are ready to be manifested into form. Under this luminous energy, spiritual work becomes more powerful, intentions grow sharper and rituals take on a mystic elegance.

Below are some of the most beloved, sacred practices to weave into your Full Moon ritual - each one designed to help realign, recharge, and help raise you to your highest self.

Charging Your Crystals - Bathing in Lunar Light

The Full Moon is the most powerful night for cleansing and charging your crystals. It is the perfect way to infuse them with clarity, purity, and heightened vibration. Placing your crystals on a windowsill, a balcony, or outdoors where the moonlight can gently touch them, restores their natural frequency so they can work in perfect harmony with you. As the Moon washes over their surfaces, imagine each stone exhaling old energy and filling with radiant clarity. Beautiful affirmations you can say when placing your crystals out under the Full Moon are -

'Under this luminous Full Moon, I cleanse and awaken every crystal before me. I release all stagnant energy and invite in clarity, protection, abundance, love and divine alignment. May this moonlight fill you with ancient wisdom and amplify the intentions of my heart. From this moment forward, shine as powerful allies, radiating strength, healing, manifestation and pure magic into my life'

OR

'Bathed in the Full Moon's sacred glow, I charge my crystals with limitless possibility, I infuse them with purpose, prosperity, balance, intuition, and radiant light. With gratitude, I activate their highest frequency, calling in new beginnings, releasing what no longer serves me, and anchoring every blessing that is meant for me. Together, we rise into clarity, expansion, and the most aligned version of my path'

Charging your Tarot & Oracle Cards

Just like Crystals, your Divination decks absorb energy - both yours and the energy from day-to-day. The Full Moon both cleanses and resets them as if they were newly awakened. This is especially beneficial for restoring intuitive clarity, strengthening your connection with your guides, clearing stagnant or heavy energy and enhancing your Spiritual accuracy when doing your readings. Your cards will emerge with a renewed sense of wisdom, ready to speak clearly, gently, and truthfully. Here is a powerful, potent affirmation to say to your cards during a Full Moon -

'Under the sacred Full Moon, I cleanse and consecrate my Tarot and Oracle Cards with pure divine light and love. I release all energies that are not mine and invite clarity, truth, wisdom, and aligned guidance. With the Moon as my witness, I activate these cards as a clear channel for intuition, higher messages and spiritual insight. May every shuffle speak with honesty, every spread reveal what I need to know, and every reading be blessed with protection, purity, and the highest good. From this moment forward, these cards shine as illuminated companions on my path, guiding me with lunar wisdom, clarity and magic'

Moonlit Walks

A Moonlit walk is a centuries old and extremely grounding Full Moon ritual. Walking beneath the Full Moon is a sacred act of communion that strengthens your intuition, opens the heart, and calms anxiety. It increases spiritual awareness and promotes clarity, clearing away negative thoughts, inviting peace and inner knowing. Allow yourself to bask under the Moonlight as you listen to the night, feel the cool air, and allow its Celestial glow calm and sooth your whole being. 

Setting Intentions and Manifestations

The Full Moon isn't just about release and recharge - it also magnifies manifestations. This is the perfect time to anchor your desires, call in abundance and align with your next chapter. The Moon amplifies your energy like a cosmic mirror - what you send out, she mirrors. Sit quietly, with a candle and your favourite crystals, write down what you wish to call into your life whether that is love, abundance, success, healing, new opportunities etc. Speak these intentions out loud under the Moonlight, as you do, visualise them blooming into form. When your done burn the paper that you wrote your intentions on, with the flame of the candle. Let its ashes safely blow away into the wind - this is now handing over and sealing your intentions to the Universe.

Moon Water - Liquid Lunar Magic

Moon water is one of the oldest and most powerful Full Moon rituals as it is simple, sacred and profoundly transformative. Moon water is just ordinary water that has been energetically charged by the light of the Full Moon. It becomes infused with the Moons healing vibration, Feminine energy, Cleansing power, and Manifestation potency. It is as simple as placing filtered or spring water into a clear jug or bottle and then placing it outside overnight to charge. A simple intention like 'I infuse this water with healing, protection and clarity' may be said as you hold the jar before leaving it for the night. Then in the morning, when you go to pick up you Moon water, thank the moon - Gratitude will strengthen the energy you wish to receive. Your Moon Water is now ready for you to use for whatever you want - such as

Spiritual Cleansing - Spray Moon water around your home or use it to clean and damp dust your furniture. This will help to purify your aura and environment.

Crystal Cleansing - You can use this water to wash and cleanse your crystals.

Anointing Rituals - Use your Moon Water to anoint your candles, journals, Tarot/Oracle cards, spiritual tools, Doors/Windows for Protection or even your hands before manifestation or Divination.

Adding to Baths - Moon Water baths are deeply soothing, cleansing and magical. Adding essential oil and flowers makes it a truly beautiful experience.

Drinking - Moon-charged water can be consumed to enhance emotional balance, intuition, Clarity, Vitality and overall wellbeing. Please make sure that the Moon water you drink was safely sealed throughout the night when outside.

Using in Spell work and Manifestations - Moon Water enhances candle magic, Intention jars, Prosperity rituals, Love spells and Divination. The Moon water acts as an energetic amplifier, strengthening the power of your intentions.

Mists or Sprays - Using Moon Water to create your own mists and sprays enhances their potency and power especially ritual inspired sprays.

When you combine the Full Moon rituals with Moon Water, you create a multi-layered spiritual practice that heightens your intuition, strengthens manifestations, clears emotional and energetic blockages, awakens your higher self and aligns you with the cycles of the Universe.

Full Moon Salt Baths - A Ritual of Release, Renewal & Lunar Cleansing

A salt bath on the Full Moon is one of the most powerful, spiritual cleanses you can gift yourself. Under the moons radiant glow, water becomes a sacred vessel of transformation, and the salt acts as a conduit for deep energetic purification. As you sink into the warm embrace of the bath, the Full Moons energy amplifies the natural cleansing properties, drawing out emotional heaviness, stagnant energy, and anything that your spirit is ready to release. The Full Moon is a time of completion, illumination and letting go so when paired with salt water, it becomes a potent ritual of renewed intention, clarity and strength. Using salt like Pink Himalayan Salt or Epsom salt work beautifully for salt baths. Immerse yourself fully a few times to really cleanse your aura, making sure your hair also receives the healing benefits. For the most potent results from your bath, it is always best to not rinse the salt from your body and hair - rather leaving it to dry until the next day. 

As the Full Moon reaches the height of her brilliance, she invites us to meet her with equal courage, honesty, and intention. This sacred lunar moment is not merely a phase in the sky, but a celestial gateway, filled with promise, hope and potential

. It is a powerful threshold where releasing becomes liberation, ritual becomes awakening, and intention becomes destiny. Whether you bathe in salt water, charge your crystals or simply stand beneath her glow, every action becomes an affirmation of your worth, your path, and your divine connection. May each Full Moon pull you closer to your purpose, cleanse your spirit with unwavering grace, and ignite the magic that has always lived within you.
