The full moon, also known as Purnima in Hindi, holds immense spiritual importance in Hinduism and Vedic traditions. In astrology, the Moon controls the mind, emotions and feelings . Many people use the energy of the moon to manifest their desires by aligning their energy and intentions with the moon.

That is why full moon rituals are not seen as decorative acts. The purpose of doing this ritual is to help a person reclaim scattered energy, remove stagnant heaviness from home and mind and create inner space for love, money, luck and manifestation.

Here are five rituals one can practice during the full moon to attract love, luck and money and clear negative energy.

What Is a Moon Ritual?

A moon ritual is a practice in which an individual harnesses the special power of the moon during its waxing and waning phases. This practice has its roots in the ancient civilisations of Egypt, India, Babylonia and China.

3 Traditional Practices For Luck, Love And Positive Energy

1. To Attract Love & Relationships: Rose Quartz Moon Water Creation

To attract love and relationships, people combine the energy of the moon water with the rose quartz crystal.

How To Practice It:

  • Before you begin, cleanse the glass jar, rose quartz, and lid with salt water to remove any negative energies.
  • Fill the jar with spring water or filtered water, leaving enough room at the top for the rose quartz.
  • Then, hold the rose quartz in your hands and focus on your intention to infuse the water with positive and healing energy. Visualise white light filling the stone and imagine the water being infused with this energy.
  • Place the rose quartz in the jar, put the lid on and place it outside during a full moon.
  • Once the moon water has been bathed in moonlight, it’s ready to use.

2. For Luck & Abundance: The Bay Leaf Manifestation Burn

In ancient Greece and Rome, bay laurel was worn by emperors and champions as a symbol of achievement. Today, it’s used in modern manifestation practices for the same energetic qualities.

Burning bay leaf to attract luck and money is being practised in folk and spiritual traditions. This ritual, when done on a full moon, gives maximum results.

How To Practice It:

  • Before you write anything, set a clear intention and be specific. Instead of writing you want 'money, ' write 'I am attracting financial abundance through aligned opportunities.'
  • Then set up your candle and fireproof dish. Light your candle and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.
  • Write your intention, a single word like ‘Abundance’ or ‘Prosperity’, or a short affirmation on the bay leaf.
  • After writing your desire, hold the bay leaf in both hands and visualise your intention has already come true.
  • Using the flame of the candle, carefully light the edge of the bay leaf and place it in your fireproof dish.
  • As it burns, imagine your wishes have been heard by the universe.
  • Once the leaf has burned, express gratitude for what you have, and for what is already on its way.

3. Clearing And Positive Energy: Smoke Purification

Cleansing your energy with smoke on a full moon by burning the sage is one of the most popular methods to remove negative energy.

How To Practice It:

  • Set up your space by choosing a central or meaningful spot in your home. Arrange the shell, candle, palo santo, and crystal on a clean surface.
  • Then light a candle on your altar, representing the element of fire.
  • Hold the sage bundle over the candle flame until it begins to smoulder and produce smoke. You can also use the palo santo for additional cleansing.
  • Then, as soon as the smoke starts, gently wave the sage smoke around your arranged items, expressing your gratitude towards each element.
  • Move the sage clockwise around your home, allowing the smoke to reach every corner. Visualise the smoke removing negative energy and inviting positive energy.
  • As you move through the space, repeat a cleansing affirmation or prayer of your choice.
  • Once you have finished smudging the home, return to your space.
  • Then express your gratitude by thanking each element for its contribution to your cleansing ritual.
