Each month when the night sky is dark, begins the new moon. It is a time of intention setting and growth as the moon waxes full. It is a good time to reset and envision what you intend to nourish in this month’s cycle. What are you planning and becoming in this phase?

A ritual bath before the full moon is a great way to set the stage. The New Moon Ritual Bath Salt blend includes Moonstone Feldspar meditation stone for “new beginnings” promoting inner growth, stability, self-respect, and following your intuition. (stones may vary in detail from the one in the photograph because stones are naturally variable.)

Purifying herbs from my garden include anise hyssop, peppermint, and rosemary. They are dried and ground in epsom salt and Dead Sea salt with olive oil and sunflower lecithin.
