Helping Others

I wonder if people recognize the importance of the New Moon as much as I do? Most Witches perform spells, rituals, and other magick workings on the Full Moon because it's more prominent in the Wiccan culture. However, I like to recognize the New Moon as well. Not only is it the Crone aspect of the Goddess but it also signifies her rebirth as the Maiden and thus new beginnings and fresh starts.

My friend, who is a sister in the Craft with me and also helps me with the Wiccan Study Group, will be doing a new moon ritual with me next weekend. I need to start constructing it for the both of us. I really want to focus on her and opening her up to her full potential as a powerful Witch. She just needs a little motivation and determination to put her back on her true path so she can fulfill her destiny in the Craft.

The Old Ones, the higher beings that we follow in my tradition, act as our guides giving us advice and helping us when we're lost. She feels as though they are frustrated with her and her stagnant position right now. I'm going to get her moving forward again. I know I'm going to pull her out of her slump that she's been going through and that's why I'm going to make the ritual very specific to her needs.

I'm going to be working on writing that ritual this week and probably add it to my Book of Shadows. I think I'll title it "Spiritual Awakening Ritual" since that's what the ritual is going to be centered on. I think the New Moon would be a perfect time to do this for her and then she can work on building upon it during the waxing moon which is supposed to be a good time for building relationships and constructive magick.

As for now, I should stop procrastinating and do some reading not only for school but for the Craft as well. I'm right in the middle of a book that I haven't been reading because of other events in my life. These other events keep pulling me away from what I've been called to do but not anymore. Back to meditation, reading, and doing what I need to do.
