A Dreamwork Series Ritual (New Moon to Full Moon)

This ritual series is designed to be worked over one full lunar cycle, guiding the dreamer from intention and planting at the New Moon to revelation and integration at the Full Moon. Move gently, allowing dreams to unfold in their own language.

Designed to be paired with Our Moonveil Dream Tonic Tincture or your preferred dreamwork ally.

πŸŒ‘ New Moon β€” The Planting of the Seed

Theme: Intention β€’ Opening β€’ Invitation

Purpose: To open the dreaming gate and set a clear intention for the cycle.

You will need:

Ritual

Light your candle and sit in stillness. Take several slow breaths, grounding yourself in your body. Hold your tincture and speak your dream intention aloud β€” what you seek guidance on, healing for, or understanding of.

Take your tincture dose. Visualize a seed being placed into dark, fertile soil. This seed holds your intention.

Spell

In darkest night, where dreams begin,
I plant my wish, I turn within.
Moon unseen, yet growing bright,
Guard my dreams this sacred night.

Blow out the candle and go directly to sleep. Record any dreams upon waking, even if only fragments.

πŸŒ’ Waxing Crescent β€” The Opening of the Gate

Theme: Sensitivity β€’ Recall β€’ First Messages

Purpose: To strengthen dream recall and attune to subtle symbols.

Practice (1–3 nights):

  • Take your tincture before bed.

  • Place your journal beneath your pillow or beside your bed.

  • Ask simply: "Show me what is ready to be seen."

Reflection Prompt

What symbols repeat? What emotions linger upon waking?

πŸŒ“ First Quarter β€” The Crossing

Theme: Choice β€’ Engagement β€’ Conscious Dreaming

Purpose: To consciously step deeper into the dream world.

You will need:

Ritual

Light your candle and take your tincture. Gaze softly at the flame and imagine a doorway appearing in your mind. Decide β€” without force β€” to step through in your dreams.

Spell

At the edge of sleep I stand,
Foot in dream, foot on land.
By will aligned and courage clear,
I cross the veil with heart sincere.

πŸŒ” Waxing Gibbous β€” The Deepening

Theme: Pattern β€’ Dialogue β€’ Refinement

Purpose: To engage with recurring dream figures, themes, or landscapes.

Practice (2–4 nights):

  • Take tincture before sleep.

  • Before bed, review recent dream notes.

  • Choose one symbol or theme to focus on.

Bedtime Whisper

"Speak again, and speak more clearly."

πŸŒ• Full Moon β€” The Revelation

Theme: Illumination β€’ Clarity β€’ Message Received

Purpose: To receive the clearest dream of the cycle.

You will need:

Ritual

Light your candle under the full moon if possible. Take your tincture and place your hands over your heart.

Speak: "What has grown in the dark now comes to light."

Sit quietly until you feel calm and open. Go to sleep without distraction.

Spell

Full Moon bright, reveal to me,
What my dreaming eyes should see.
Truth unhidden, lesson clear,
I receive with trust, not fear.

Upon waking, write immediately.

πŸŒ– Waning Integration β€” The Harvest

Theme: Meaning β€’ Grounding β€’ Closure

Purpose: To integrate dream wisdom into waking life.

Practice:

  • Re-read your journal.

  • Note patterns, guidance, or emotional shifts.

  • Choose one small, tangible action inspired by your dreams.

Closing Blessing

Dreams received and wisdom kept,
I thank the paths my spirit stepped.
What was shown now walks with me,
Rooted, waking, and made real.

Extinguish the candle. The cycle is complete.

✨ This Dreaming Cycle may be repeated each lunar month, layered with new intentions, or devoted to a single question until clarity arrives.
