Tonight, as the new moon rises, perform this pearl spell to honor the balance of light within the depths of our own emotional waters and to safeguard our intuition with lunar equilibrium. Gather these items:

Silver jewelry thread and needle

1 string of black pearls

1 string of white pearls

A glass punch bowl

3 tablespoons salt

8 cups rainwater

Bead a 34-inch necklace, alternating black and white pearls. Tie it off with intention and place the necklace in the bowl. Add the salt and water, then lift the bowl up toward the night sky. Chant the following eight times:

Light from within me, journey

upon the waves; draw love and

hope in these darkest of days.

Fill me now with an inner delight,

and with your ageless wisdom

bring me lunar insight.

Finally, try to carefully dump the water over your head so that the string of pearls flows into place around your neck. So mote it be.
