We find ourselves in the new moon, of Strawberry Moon. Today, you can take some time to relax and dream up what it is you want to manifest. This is the time to look toward what is fresh and new, under the darkened sky. You are going to set an intention.

If you drink alcohol, grab a bottle of your favorite strawberry, rose or red wine. Wine with berry overtones works nicely, such as Meinklang Pinot Noir. Get your wine ready according to its needs, open it, and pour a glass before this rite. If you do not drink or prefer not to today, a strawberry or rose-scented incense will do the trick. Put your incense in a fire-safe incense holder and light it, keeping it nearby so you can reflect on the scent.

Get into a relaxed, meditative state by taking deep cleansing breaths. Sip the wine or enjoy your incense, watching its smoke; letting either touch the inner recesses of your mind. What is it you want in the world that doesn't currently exist? A poem, a decluttered room, a new relationship, perhaps a painting or drawing? Think hard about what would fit your world and make it a better place. Continue to engage your mind. Make a mental note of what you want to do and how. When it's time, bring your intention to light!
