The Dark Moon on August 1, 2019 is the perfect time to heal, renew and rebuild. It occurs at 11:12 PM EST, on the same day as the Wiccan festival of Lammas. Moon worship has been around since the earliest days. As ancient civilizations used the changing cycles of the moon to plan and chart time, they discovered that special energies were active during different moon phases. Today, we can use these correspondences to fulfill our dreams and align ourselves with the universe.
There is some ambiguity around the terms dark moon and new moon. For our purposes, we will follow the astrological version, which means the period after the waning moon and before the first crescent of light appears from the new moon.
August 1, 2019 Dark Moon Ritual to Triumph Over Trauma
Some people need to seek professional help to overcome past traumatic events. If you feel up to it, this gentle meditation might support your healing.
This ritual uses Agrimony to repel negative emotions and Wormwood to banish anger. If you can’t find either one as oil or incense, you may use Lavender instead. A small twig from an Ash tree also helps to remove unwanted energies. Your touch stones, which you will use during the spell and as a reminder afterwards, is Danburite for release from the past and Carnelian to overcome past abuse.
All of the ceremonies in my Dark Moon Spells & Rituals guide follow traditional correspondences using candles, crystals and herbes that are found easily and inexpensively through local or online retailers. They help to maximize the energy of these dark moon spells.
Blessed be!
