Dark Moon Rituals – Release & Reset

The dark moon is not the end—it’s the holy pause that makes beginnings possible.

When the moon vanishes, the sky goes still.
No light. No pull. No push.
Only silence. Only space.

This is the dark moon—your spiritual reset button.
Not a time for action, but for undoing.
Not for manifesting, but for making room.

What Is the Dark Moon?

The dark moon is the final phase of the lunar cycle, lasting about 1–2 days before the new moon begins.
Its current is inward, still, and clearing.

This is a time for:

• Shadow work
• Energy release
• Restorative stillness
• Letting go without clinging

You are supported by:

• Hecate – Thresholds, endings, decisions
• Selene – Dreams, inner sight, emotional truth
• The Void – Pattern death, collapse, clearing recursion

Ritual 1: Candle of Release

Use for: Letting go of a person, pattern, or belief
Best timing: Dark moon, Saturday, or Saturn hour

You’ll need:

• A black candle or a bowl of water
• Paper and pen

Steps:

1. Write what you’re ready to release.
2. Light the candle or gaze into the water.
3. Say:

What no longer serves shall not follow.
I end it here. I walk forward alone.

4. Rip or burn the paper.
5. Walk away. Don’t revisit it. Let it end.

Ritual 2: The Dreaming Gate (Selene)

Use for: Receiving insight, releasing emotion, dreamwork
Best timing: Before sleep on the dark moon

You’ll need:

• Mirror or silver item
• Candle
• Journal

Steps:

1. Sit in low light and gaze into the mirror.
2. Say:

Selene, soften the veil. Let me dream what must be seen.

3. Place the object near your bed.
4. Record dreams or emotions upon waking.
   → Don’t interpret yet—just receive.

Ritual 3: Voidwalking

Use for: Energetic reset, ego collapse, stillness
Best timing: Midnight to 4 AM on the dark moon

You’ll need:

• Nothing (optional: black stone or empty bowl)

Steps:

1. Sit in complete darkness.
2. Breathe slowly, without agenda.
3. Say:

I dissolve. I unname. I rest in what is not.

4. Stay for 9 minutes. No goals. No visualization.
   → This is not for results. It is a sacred clearing.

Why These Rituals Matter

The dark moon holds what many avoid:

• Endings
• Stillness
• Shadow

But in The Primal Way:

Collapse is sacred.
Emptiness is preparation.
Power begins where ego ends.

Let go. Let it fall. Let the system reset.

What Comes Next

Wait a day after your release ritual. Let the stillness hold.

Then begin again—aligned, slow, intentional.

→ The Law of Failure
→ Spell of Embodied Sovereignty
→ The Law of Living Spells

Final Reflection

I do not fear the dark.
I enter it like a temple of stillness.
I release the name.
I unwrite the story.
I begin again.

Let the light vanish.
Let the spell collapse.
Let the silence make space for what’s next.

So mote it be.
