Dark Moon Ritual for March 18, 2026
Moon worship has been around since the earliest days. As ancient civilizations used the changing cycles of the moon to plan and chart time, they discovered that special energies were active during different moon phases. Today, as solo practitioners or working in a group, Wiccans use these correspondences to fulfill our dreams and align ourselves with the universe. The Dark Moon on March 18, 2026 occurs at 21:23 EDT and is the perfect time to heal, renew and rebuild.
There is some ambiguity around the terms dark moon and new moon. For our purposes, we will follow the astrological version, which means the period after the waning moon and before the first crescent of light appears from the new moon.
Dark Moon Ritual to Release Sorrow
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by sorrow. The longer we carry sad memories, the more they become a habitual way of thinking. After a while, it can be difficult to find any happiness our lives. Intense sadness can also lead to depression and isolation. But joy is our birthright, so be confident that if you ask for it, you will receive it. Dark moon energy is like all vibration – it causes an effect even though you can’t see it.
This spell uses the following correspondences: Borage for happiness, Coriander and Myrrh. Your touch stone is Lavender Jade, which cleanses emotional pain and brings peace.
