How to Prepare for the New Moon: Rituals for Intention Setting

The new moon is often spoken about as a beginning.

A fresh start. A reset. A clean slate.

But within brujería and many ancestral practices, the new moon is not something that appears suddenly, it is something that is prepared for.

Because what is planted in the dark will grow.

And what grows will carry the energy of how it was planted.

Preparation, then, becomes just as important as the intention itself.
