Rosemary and Moon Phases
The New Moon is a time of renewal, reflection, and setting intentions for the coming lunar cycle. Its quiet energy invites introspection and fresh starts, making it the perfect moment to engage in rituals that enhance clarity and creativity. Rosemary, with its purifying and stimulating properties, can amplify the power of this lunar phase, creating a sacred space for planting the seeds of your desires.
By combining the energy of rosemary with the vibrant properties of gemstones, such as those in the Creativity and Inspiration Set, you can craft a ritual that inspires innovative thinking, self-expression, and alignment with your goals.

Mental Clarity: Its invigorating scent sharpens focus and helps clear mental fog.
Purification: Removes stagnant energy, creating a clean slate for setting intentions.
Intuition Enhancement: Rosemary’s connection to the spiritual realm can strengthen intuitive insights during this reflective phase.

Step-by-Step Ritual Guide
1. Cleanse Your Space:
Begin by purifying your environment. Light rosemary incense or burn a dried sprig of rosemary, allowing its cleansing smoke to fill the room. Visualize negative energy dissipating, leaving a calm and clear atmosphere.
2. Set Your Intention:
Place your gemstones in front of you. Hold each stone, one at a time, and focus on its unique properties. Visualize how Citrine can inspire creativity, how Jade provides stability, and how Amazonite encourages clear communication. Place the stones in a triangle shape around your candle to create an energetic grid.
3. Light the Candle:
Light the candle to symbolize the spark of new beginnings. As the flame flickers, allow it to inspire hope and focus. Add a few drops of rosemary essential oil to your water dish or hold a sprig of rosemary in your hands, breathing in its invigorating scent.
4. Journal Your Intentions:
Write down your intentions for the coming lunar cycle. Be specific, focusing on what you want to create, improve, or manifest. Let your thoughts flow freely, guided by the clarity rosemary and the gemstones provide.
5. Meditate with Rosemary and Crystals:
Close your eyes and hold your gemstones or the rosemary sprig. Meditate on your intentions, visualizing them coming to fruition. Picture yourself embracing creativity, expressing your authentic self, and achieving your goals. Allow the soothing yet stimulating energy of rosemary to open your mind to possibilities.
6. Seal Your Intentions:
Dip your fingers into the water dish and sprinkle it around your space as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. Whisper your intentions aloud, sealing them into the universe.
7. Gratitude and Closing:
Thank the rosemary, gemstones, and the New Moon for their guidance and energy. Extinguish the candle, knowing your intentions have been set in motion.
