Ritual

Throughout history, and transcending any one culture
or tradition, the moon has long held a fascination for
humanity.
The Moon is, of course, the closest celestial body to Earth,
and regardless of speculations as to its true origin, its
gravitational pull and energy has long been known to have
an impact on everything from the Oceans tides, farming
and fishing practices, to personal moods, energy levels,
and manifestation results.
While each phase of the Lunar Cycle carries a unique
energetic significance, the moons energy is by far the
most noticeable around the time of the Full Moon.

When the Moon is Full, and the light of the Sun that
it reflects is fully illuminated in the night sky.
The Full Moon marks a time of energetic culmination and
an explosion of spiritual energy on the inner planes.
Full Moon energy has a way of stirring up emotions and
heightening psychic sensitivity. The Full Moon is a time
when the faery and elemental realms are more active,
and the subtle vibrations of the higher spiritual realms
become more easily felt, accessed and reached.
The Full Moon also has a profound way of revealing
what was once hidden in the shadows on a personal and
collective level.
Symbolically, and by shining a light into the darkness of
night, the Full Moon energy has a way of revealing what
is no longer serving you, and what needs to be healed,

integrated or released so you can continue to progress on
your path of living your most vibrant life.
Because the Full Moon is a time of heightened spiritual
energy, it is a wonderful time for meditation, cleansing
and recharging your energy, healing, and for releasing and
shedding the old to allow your highest divine potential to
manifest in your life.
This profound energy is exactly why there are so many
cultures and traditions that observe the Full Moon and
carry out Rituals and Ceremonies to consciously tune into
the power of the energetic window that opens around the
Full Moon.

6. 3
AFull Moon Ritual is essentially a series of intentional
and symbolic actions you take on the night of the
Full Moon in order to tap into the incredible spiritual and
healing potential of the Full Moon energy at the level of
both your conscious and subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is like the operating system
for your awareness. It is the part of you that is directly
connected to infinite possibility and that can bring about
incredible change and transformation in your life. The
language of the subconscious mind is that of symbolism,
feeling and metaphor.
Through a Full Moon Ritual, you can use symbolism,
feeling, metaphor to impress on your subconscious mind
what you want to create.
WHAT EXACTLY IS
A FULL MOON RITUAL?

7. 4
“It is psychological law that whatever we desire to
accomplish we must impress upon the subjective or
subconscious mind.”
-Orison Swett Marden
By completing a Full Moon Ritual, you are able
to claim your personal power to influence the
subconscious mind, so it can then go to work for
you to bring about profound healing, spiritual
growth and transformation.
In other words, your Full Moon Ritual is about much more
than just lighting some candles, laying out your crystals,
and setting up an altar to get the perfect snapshot for
Instagram… (Tag us at @askangels if you do get a good
shot though 😉!”
This Full Moon Ritual is a powerful mechanism for your
personal spiritual growth and transformation!
Let’s dive in!

8. FULL MOON
RITUAL

9. 6
1
AFull Moon Ritual is of course, best performed under
the light of the Full Moon. However, know that the
heightened energy of each Full Moon is present for the 3
days right around the exact Full Moon point. So, the night
before the exact time of the Full Moon and the night after
will still have the heightened energy.
This gives you a nice little window to plan and enjoy your
Full Moon Ritual!
Also, when deciding when you want to do your ritual,
remember that although you won’t be able to see the Full
Moon during the peak of the day, its energy is still present
then too. It can feel extra fun and magical to do the ritual
at night outside when you can actually see the Full Moon,
however this is not required. Go with what feels right and
with what works for you and your personal situation.

YOUR RITUAL

10. 7
I prefer to do Full Moon Rituals at night under the light of
the Full Moon, but even if you do it during the day in your
living room, or if its raining outside and you can’t see the
moon at all, the energy will still be present and you can
gain all the positive benefit from tuning in!
Pro Tip: Schedule Your Full Moon Ritual in Advance!
While you can absolutely dive in spontaneously to
complete your Full Moon Ritual, scheduling a time and
date for when you’re going to do your Full Moon Ritual
has extra benefit for you!
Scheduling a set time is not required, however, when
you do commit to doing your ritual at a certain time and
date in advance, when you then follow through on that
commitment, your will forces and personal empowerment
are strengthened which are essential for higher spiritual
work and transformation!

When it comes down to it, with every spiritual
practice, ritual included, intention is so key.
This Full Moon Ritual is an opportunity to release what is
no longer serving you so you can call forth more joy, love,
abundance, wellbeing, or success in your life.
What area of your life would you like to transform, heal or
amplify with this Full Moon Ritual?
Its best to focus in on one area of your life at a time.
Get clear about what area that is for you now.
• Do you want to attract love?
• To live life with more joy?
• To manifest greater success and abundance?
• To invoke powerful healing and increased vitality?
• To heighten your intuition and open up your psychic
senses?

YOU WILL COMPLETE
YOUR RITUAL

Focus in on your intention for this Full Moon Ritual now!
Once you know your core intention for what you’d like
to amplify under the light of the Full Moon, put your
intention into writing in your journal, or just on a piece
of paper.
A quick side note on intention writing… Be sure you write
your intention in terms of what you want to create!
As a part of this Full Moon Ritual you’re going to experience
powerful cleansing energy and release…
But for now, write out what is you want to positively call
forth!
Here are a couple of examples to help you put your
intention into writing.
My intention is to experience more love and light in my
life.
My intention is to access my intuition in a heightened way.
My intention is to amplify success and abundance in my
life.
My intention is to cultivate greater harmony and balance.
My intention is to clear my energy and raise my vibration.
My intention is to manifest vibrant wellbeing.

When it comes down to it, there really aren’t any
special supplies or tools that are needed or
required for you to complete a powerful Full Moon ritual.
A clear intention is by far what is the most powerful!
That being said, you will need a pen and paper...
And also, if you have a candle, matches or a lighter
and a firesafe bowl grab that. Alternately a bowl
of water will work too.
If you do have certain spiritual tools or objects that feel
sacred and magical for you, weaving them into your Full
Moon Ritual will help to open up the energy flow and set
the tone.
This is also where you get to be a bit creative and have
some fun!
Gather Supplies

14. 11
Start by gathering up some of the spiritual tools you have
access to for space clearing, relaxation, or creating a
sacred space.
Gather Your Spiritual Tools
Here are some ideas to get your intuition flowing as to
what you can use:
• Incense, Sage, or Palo Santo
• Essential Oils like Frankincense, Lavender, Sandalwood
(any other scents that feel magical and sacred for you)
• Meditative Music
• Bells, drums, tingshas, or singing bowls.
• Crystals! Moonstone, Selenite, Amethyst, and Clear
Quartz are particularly attuned to the energy of the
Full Moon
• Flowers
• Oracle Cards or Tarot Cards
• Candles
Additionally, Gather Items That Are
Symbolic of Your Full Moon Intention
Think back to the intention you just set for your Full Moon
Ritual.
What is it you are wanting to amplify and illuminate in
your life?
Gather one or two objects that represent the quality or
area of your life you would like to amplify.

15. 12
For Example:
If your intention is to manifest more love in your life, find
an object (or objects) that represents love to you. This
could be anything really, what represents love for you?
• A heart shaped rock
• A picture of a couple holding hands
• A rose (or a picture of one)
• A Maple Leaf (ancient symbol of love, most notably in
China and Japan)
• A shell (associated with Aphrodite, goddess of love)
If your intention is to amplify your intuition, find a couple
of objects that represent intuition, and connection to
Spirit for you:
• Oracle Cards
• A Pendulum
• A Feather
• A Compass
• A Picture of an Angel
If your intention is to manifest vibrant health and
wellbeing, gather a couple of objects that represent health
to you:
• A fresh crisp apple (an apple a day keeps the doctor
away)
• A picture of Archangel Raphael (Archangel of Healing)
• A sunflower (or picture of one)
• A picture of someone doing yoga on the beach
• A turtle figurine (symbol of longevity)
• Healing herbs or teas

Creating a sacred space creates a powerful container
for you to open your senses to experience beyond
the physical and into the spiritual.
Your sacred space will be the sacred container for your
Full Moon Ritual experience.
Pick somewhere in your home, or outside where you’d like
to complete your ritual. Use your discernment for where
the right place is for you.
Pro Tip: It can be magical to do a ritual outside under
the light of the Full Moon, but if you live in a busy city,
or you have nosey neighbors you’ll be better off inside
where you can create a peaceful space where you will be
undisturbed. Then, when you’re done with the ritual you
can always go outside to take a few extra moments to
just bask in the light of the Full Moon.
CREATE A SACRED
SPACE FOR YOUR
FULL MOON RITUAL

17. 14
Here are a few ideas for how to create your sacred
space:
Find a quite space where you won’t be disturbed and:
• Put on some soft Meditative Music.
• Dim the lights.
• Light a candle.
• Burn some Sage, Palo Santo, or Incense.
• Ring some bells, play a singing bowl, do some drumming
(or just clap) to clear the energy and set the space.
• Create a Full Moon Altar by setting before you the
symbols of what you want to amplify and illuminate
in your experience. (you can also just set the objects
you’ve gathered out in front of you.)
• Sit in a peaceful place Outside in Nature under the light
of the Full Moon.

18. 15

Once you’ve gathered your supplies and created
your sacred space, it’s time to call in your Spiritual
Team (i.e. your Spirit Guides, Angels, Ascended Masters
and Ancestors) to support, protect and guide you through
your Full Moon Ritual.
Use the following invocation to begin (or say something
similar in words that are your own):
Focus your awareness within, breathe, relax and begin to
visualize golden and white light all around as you. Breathe
and consciously allow your energy to relax.
Then think clearly and powerfully in your mind, or (even
better) say aloud:
“I now call in and forth my team of Guides, Angels
and Ascended Masters of the Middle Path…
FULL MOON RITUAL
INVOCATION

19. 16
Surround me with Divine love, wisdom and
healing light frequency.
I ask that you uplift and protect my energy now
and support me in tuning into the Divine blessings
of love, light and healing frequency available to
me now.
Guide me through this Full Moon Ritual and
help me to release what no longer serves and to
illuminate the highest Divine possibilities for my
life.
I ask this according to Divine Will, in the highest
interest of all.
And so, it is.”

20. 17

Once you’ve invoked your team in Spirit… Take
a few minutes to clear your mind and tune into
their presence..
Breathe relax and experience the incredible light of the
Full Moon and the love and blessings of your Guides and
Angels who have answered your call by entering into your
present time and space.
This is the perfect time to listen to your Guided Full Moon
Meditation!

Alternately, you can simply take a few minutes to focus
on your breathing as you consciously clear your mind and
focus on the space between your thoughts.
This allows you to feel into the higher realms of Spirit
and tune into the powerful love and Divine frequency
available to you right here and now.

22. 19

Peaceful, relaxed, and tuned into the presence of
Spirit… It’s now time to get out your journal or a
fresh piece of paper, and a pen or pencil.
Write at the top of your paper…
“I Now Release”
Then write from your heart about whatever patterns,
habits, or perspectives you feel are weighing you down
and blocking you from manifesting your intention and
experiencing the highest Divine possibilities for your life.
Don’t hold back your feelings or try to bury or push them
down because they’re “not spiritual”…
Feel how you feel and face and acknowledge any fears,
insecurities, or doubts you have around your intention.
Remember that the Full Moon has the powerful effect of
WRITE AND RELEASE

23. 20
revealing what has been hidden in the shadows and what is
coming up now is doing so for you to release and let it go.
For now… Just write.
Contemplate your intention represented by the symbolic
objects you’re gathered. Pick up one of the objects and
feel the essence of what it represents. Then ask yourself:
“What is blocking me from allowing this to be fully realized
in my life?”
Don’t think about or judge what answer emerges… Just
write it down!
Be specific.
The Full Moon Light is supporting you in shining a light
on the darker aspects of your thought patterns, habits,
beliefs and perspectives.
Let it out!
Once you’re really let yourself free write, cry, purge and
get out everything that’s been hidden in the shadow…
Write down specifically what you are ready to release,
relinquish and let go of.
To complete, write down:
“I Now Release This into The Light of the Divine.”
Then, tear out your paper (or papers) with everything
you’ve purged and written down …

24. 21
Hold the papers up towards the sky and towards the light
of the Full Moon… And say aloud:
“I Now Release This into The Light of the Divine.”
Take a moment to feel yourself energetically release all of
the heaviness that has arisen from within you.
Imagine a gray mist-like cloud leaving your energy and
dissolving into the light of the Full Moon and into the
light of the Infinite.
To further release at the level of your subconscious, take
the following symbolic action:
Tear up your paper and burn it in a firesafe bowl. Then
visualize the smoke going up and releasing into the light
of the Full Moon.
Alternately, you can submerge your paper in water, feeling
the energy of water cleansing and releasing all stagnant
energy and negativity from your being.
Feel the lightness that is able to emerge from within you
when you release and let go.
Then, as a final release, ask your team in Spirit for help.
“Guides, Angels, Ascended Masters… Please support and
assist me in cleansing out of my energy, thoughts and
emotions all that no longer serves me.”
Next imagine a waterfall of Divine Light pouring in all
around you, cleansing your energy, and illuminating your
mind, body and spirit with Light.

25. 22

Now that you’ve cleansed your energy and released
whatever was standing in the way of manifesting
your intention…
Let’s tap into the amplifying energy of the Full Moon to
amplify your highest intention!
Pick up one of the objects you selected that represents
what you want to amplify and call forth into your life.
Hold the object in your hand (or place your hand on it if
it’s something heavy or big), and gaze into it for a moment.
Allow yourself to look past the object to tune into the
energy and essence of your intention that the object
represents.
Close your eyes and begin to see, imagine, visualize and
feel what it will be like to have whatever it is you most
AMPLIFY YOUR
INTENTION

26. 23
desire manifested into your experience.
Paint a vivid picture in your mind of the highest and best
possible outcome coming true for you.
The more realistic, vivid and detailed you can imagine
this the better.
Take out your journal and pen and put into writing what
you would like your life to be like when your true intention
manifests.
Write about how magical, beautiful and wonderful your
life is now that your intention has manifest for you in
your life!
Ask yourself:
“How would I feel if my intention was really created in the
highest and best possible way?”
Allow yourself to feel the feelings of this happening now!
Feel the feelings of gratitude, the joy and wonderment of
existence, the bliss and elation of your intention perfectly
manifesting into your life.
Write down in your journal:
“Thank you, thank you thank you for the incredible
blessings in my life.”
If you’re having trouble really feeling the joy, enthusiasm,
and gratitude of your intention being realized…

27. 24
Take a little bit of extra time to simply tune into all you
have to be grateful for now.
What’s already going well for you in your life?
What do you love and appreciate about yourself?
What are you thankful for?
What about your current reality is fun and magical?
What people do you feel blessed to have in your life?
Write in your journal as many things that you are grateful
for that you can think of.
If you’re having trouble thinking of things you feel grateful
for, just start writing about the most basic things like:
“I am grateful for the Full Moon… I am grateful I have
clothes to wear and a bed to sleep in… I am grateful for
the ability to write. I’m grateful to have a roof over my
head”.
Start writing and let the feelings of gratitude build and
grow!
This almost immediately raises your vibration and
supports in magnetizing even more blessings.
Amplify gratitude on the Full Moon and it will work
like magic to positive shift your reality and bring about
positive change and transformation for you!

At this point the core of your Full Moon Ritual is
complete and you can move on to the final step
which is to symbolically close your ritual.
But before you do…
I have some fun Full Moon Ritual add-ons to share with
you in case you want to keep the magic flowing a bit longer.
Do one or all of the following depending on how you’re
feeling at this point, and how much time you have available.
Alternately, you can proceed now to Step 10 to Symbolically
close your Full Moon Ritual.
Charge Your Spiritual Tools and Crystals
The Full Moon is a wonderful opportunity to cleanse and
charge your crystals and other spiritual tools under the
light of the Full Moon. Gather up your crystals (stones

like Selenite, Moonstone, Amethyst and Quartz respond
especially well to moonlight) and place them outside
under the energy of the Full Moon.
Depending on where you live and the current weather,
make sure they’re placed somewhere where they won’t be
messed with or damaged (Selenite especially you don’t
want to leave out in the rain). Alternately, you can place
your crystals on a windowsill that gets a good amount of
moonlight. Outside is definitely more powerful, but work
with what you have access to!
Make Full Moon Water
Moonlight Water, or Full Moon Water is essentially just
water that you set outside under the light of the Full Moon
to “charge”.
Be sure to you use spring water or purified water so that
it’s free from added chemicals, chlorine, and impurities.
You’ll also want to store your water in a glass container so
there is no plastic residue leeching into it!
Once you have purified water in a glass container, set it
out to sit under the moonlight. When you put your water
outside (or on a windowsill that gets moonlight) place an
intention for what you want to create, release, or tune
into.
As the water sits out under the light of the moon it soaks
up the energy of nature along with the light and magic of
the Full Moon. Then in the morning, drink it… Feeling

30. 27
your energy increase and your intention aligning with
you!
Soak Up Some Moonlight
At this point in your Full Moon Ritual, if you’re not already
outside soaking up the light of the Full Moon now is the
perfect opportunity to do so. Go outside and gaze up at
the moon.
Feel the light of the Moon shining down upon you,
cleansing and blessing your energy and supporting you
in manifesting even more blessings towards you. You can
also hold your hands up towards the Full Moon to feel the
moonlight recharging your healing hands and etheric life
force energy.
Take A Salt Bath
A cleansing salt bath is a perfect add on to this Full Moon
Ritual. Water is already cleansing, rejuvenating and
recharging, but its also directly impacted by the energy of
the Full Moon! So a salt bath now is sort of supercharged
too! Dim the lights, light a few candles, draw a bath and
add in sea-salt, Epsom salt and lavender oil (or whatever
essential oil suits you).
Relax, soak and allow yourself to release all that no longer
serves and to come back into alignment with the higher
spiritual realms and with your True Self.

31. 28
Moon Dance
Turn on some music, or tune into your inner rhythm in
silence… And dance under the light of the Full Moon. You
can do this Moon Dance outside directly in the moonlight,
or in the privacy of your home. As you dance, allow your
body to move intuitively and freely. Feel and sense that
your movement is cutting through illusion and distortion
in your field and feel the transformational energy of the
Full Moon circulating through your being.
Full Moon Oracle Card Reading
The Full Moon is a wonderful time for Divination and
to get clarity from Spirit. Get out your favorite angel or
oracle cards if you have them and give yourself a reading!
Try out this 5 Card Full Moon Spread as a part of your
ritual too.
Card 1: What blessing is this Full Moon energy amplifying
in my life?
Card 2: What do I need to release to manifest my Highest
Truth?
Card 3: What do I need to embrace to embody my Highest
Truth?
Card 4: What additional messages are my team in Spirit
trying to convey to me now?

32. 29

When you feel complete, the final step of your Full
Moon Ritual is to formally close it.
Place your hands over your heart and evoke a feeling of
love and gratitude.
Thank your team of Guides and Angels for entering into
your space to support you.
Thank yourself for taking this time for you.
Know that you have cleansed your energy and amplified
your intention.
Now, it’s simply up to you to cultivate a sense of openness
and an optimistic attitude that the Universe and the
Divine are working with you to align blessings in your life
in a way that even better than you expect.
Be open to the possibility that miracles are now in store,
SYMBOLICALLY
CLOSE YOUR RITUAL

33. 30
and that you will receive guidance and inspirations as to
steps you can take to support your highest intention in
manifesting in your life.
Finally… If you have a brass bell, ring it. If you have
tingshas make them chime. If you have a singing bowl
tone it…
Or just clap your hands together and say:
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. And so, it is”
Then be sure to blow out your candles… 😉And carry with
you an attitude of celebration and gratitude as you enjoy
the rest of the beautiful Full Moon!
