Moon worship has been around since the earliest days and Wiccans today use the correspondences of the Moon to fulfill our dreams and align ourselves with the universe. Dark moon energy is like all vibration – it causes an effect even though you can’t see it. This month’s Dark Moon occurs January 2, Sunday at 01:35 p.m. ET which is 06:35 p.m. Universal Time. It is also a super new moon and the extra energy is the perfect time to heal, renew and rebuild.
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.
January Dark Moon Ritual to Overcome Bad Habits
Everyone has at least one bad habit they’d like to conquer and now is the ideal time to start a new routine. Whether it’s smoking, eating the wrong foods, or not exercising enough, they’re called “habits” for a reason and they’re usually difficult to change. This January dark moon offers an excellent opportunity to rev up your motivation.
This spell uses the following correspondences: Sage for strength, Lavender for stability and Rosemary for remembrance in any form you choose, e.g. Lavender incense, Sage and Rosemary oil. Your touch stones, which you will use during the spell and as a reminder afterwards, are Lepidolite to combat addictions and Calcite to counteract laziness.

Blessed be!
