The August 2016 dark moon will happen on the 2nd in the morning or early afternoon, depending on where you live, so the best time to perform your spells & rituals might be on August 1st, during your Lammas celebration.
The dark moon is the period after the waning moon and before the first crescent of light appears from the new moon and it’s an ideal time to initiate change and renewal. Dark moon energy is like all vibration – it causes an effect even though you can’t see it.
The Law of Attraction states that “like attracts like,” so wouldn’t you want to attract only the highest and the best? This ritual can help you to bring more positive emotions and good vibrations into your life, an ideal sentiment that complements Lammas traditions of appreciation and completion.
My Simple Wiccan Magick Dark Moon Spells eBook has a ritual to help transcend this state of mind. The Spell to Discharge Negative Energy (Chapter 8) uses Sage to remove negativity and Basil for courage. Your touch stone, which you will use during the spell and as a reminder afterwards, is Hematite. You will also learn a simple affirmation to increase your focus.
Blessed be!
