The Ritual

This would be a great ritual to do on a new moon around Imbolc or the Spring Equinox. Do this on the new moon or the night before the new moon.

Choose some seeds that you wish to grow. I've chosen some wildflower seeds, clover, and fleabane. If you plan to sow the seeds directly outdoors, make sure the type of seeds you have chosen can be sown at that time of year.

Think about what you wish to manifest on this new moon. Any new projects, new beginnings, new habits you would like to develop. Perhaps you might want to do some journalling or pull tarot or oracle cards to help you decide on what intentions you would like to set. 

Centre yourself before you begin. Light a white candle and burn some palo santo or an incense of your choice.

Write your new moon intentions on a piece of paper. Write your intentions as if it is already a reality. Anoint the paper with a manifestation oil like this one.

Hold your seed packets in your hands, ask that the universe bless these seeds to grow healthy and abundantly. Place the seed packets in your cauldron. The cauldron symbolising creation, birth, and transformation. (If you don't have a cauldron use a cooking pot instead)

Cleanse and charge the crystals. Clear quartz is used for manifesting and amplifying. Moss agate is used for growth and is considered a beneficial stone for gardening. Moonstone is for moon magick and new beginnings.

Place your crystals and written intentions in your cauldron with the seeds. If you have a wand, wave your wand around the cauldron in a clockwise direction. Imagine yourself stirring the contents of your cauldron, really pouring your energy into it. If you don't have a wand just use a spoon. As you do this, visualise your intentions coming to life. Say your intentions out loud if you wish, or something along the lines of "I am thankful for (your intention) manifesting in the best possible way".

Let everything charge in your cauldron for 3 days. On the third day remove the seeds and plant them with intention. Carefully burn the written intentions, sending your desire out to the universe. Give thanks and share your gratitude with the universe or whichever deities you work with.

When you plant the seeds your intentions will be planted. With the waxing of the moon they will continue to grow and flourish, along with the intentions you have set.
