WOOD WANING MOON SAGE/GUIDANCE & VISION

A waning moon guidance candle is a type of candle often used in rituals and practices that are focused on seeking guidance, reflection, and releasing what no longer serves us during the waning moon phase. The waning moon is the phase of the lunar cycle that occurs after the full moon, as the moon's illumination gradually decreases.

The purpose of a waning moon guidance candle is to tap into the energy of the waning moon to facilitate introspection, self-reflection, and letting go of patterns, beliefs, or situations that no longer serve our highest good. It can be used as a tool to seek inner guidance, clarity, and wisdom during this phase.

When working with a waning moon guidance candle, individuals may engage in rituals or practices that involve the following steps:

1. Preparation: Choose a candle specifically designated for guidance or select a color that resonates with you and represents introspection and release, such as white or silver.

2. Setting intentions: Before lighting the candle, set clear intentions to seek guidance, reflection, and release during the waning moon phase. Focus on what you wish to let go of, gain clarity on, or receive guidance about.

3. Cleansing and clearing: Some people prefer to cleanse the candle and their energy space before lighting it. This can be done through smudging, using essential oils, or other purification methods.

4. Lighting the candle: Light the candle during the waning moon phase, preferably in a quiet and peaceful space where you can focus on your intentions. As you light the candle, you can say a prayer or set an intention to invite guidance and clarity into your life.

5. Meditation and reflection: Spend time in meditation, allowing yourself to quiet your mind and connect with your inner wisdom. Reflect on the areas of your life where you seek guidance, and be open to insights, intuitive nudges, or messages that may come to you during this practice.

6. Releasing and letting go: Use the waning moon energy to release what no longer serves you. This can be done through journaling, visualization, or symbolic gestures. Write down any beliefs, patterns, or situations you wish to let go of and burn the paper in the candle flame, symbolizing the release and surrender.

7. Allowing the candle to burn: Let the candle burn until it naturally extinguishes or for a specific duration according to your ritual. Observe the candle flame and the energy it emits, trusting that it is working in alignment with your intentions.
