As December thins away, we are about to observe the last new moon of the year. This is the ideal time to plant the seeds for your hopes, wishes, and dreams that you want to carry with you into the new year. Anything you wish to expand should be planned now.

For this ritual, you'll need a piece of paper, a pen, and one white candle in a holder. Place your supplies on your altar. On the paper, write no more than three hopes/wishes you want to achieve in the new year, beginning at this new moon. Next, carefully light the candle and say:

An old year is about to end, a new year is about to begin,
The Wheel of the Year continues to spin.
These are the wishes I want to sow
As the new moon begins to grow.

Meditate on your goals. See yourself completing them. When you're ready, safely snuff out the candle and let it cool. Use it for other moon magic. Keep your wish list for as long as you desire. When you've accomplished your goals, discard it.
