The Magic of New Moon Rituals
Sage Goddess New Moon Ritual Events
Every month, Sage Goddess founder Dr. Athena Perrakis holds free online new and full moon ritual events on YouTube. It’s a foundation of her practice and one of her favorite things to experience and share.
She believes when you call the magic of Luna into your sacred space, you connect with Divine Feminine energy. This brings forth healing, compassion, emotional understanding, and intuition.
Through the power of community and shared intention, people from around the world unite in these virtual gatherings. This space is also a source of healing that fosters compassion, deepens emotional understanding, and awakens intuition.
Together, we create harmonious energy that amplifies the power of the new moon. You can learn more about our SG Moon events here.
2024 New Moon Ceremonies
In 2024, our new moon events will be extra special. We are exploring the links between each sign and its element — earth, air, water, or fire. Also, figuratively speaking, we’re journeying to a different sacred site around the world. Each site encompasses the energy of that sign.
The sacred sites that we’ll be learning about include Mt. Sinai (Capricorn), Stonehenge (Taurus), the River Ganges (Pisces), and many more! Moreover, our ritual kits are custom designed to embrace all these aspects. You can find these sets here.

Properties of the New Moon
The Moon is the only celestial body to orbit Earth, giving it a strong influence over us. The new moon is the beginning of the waxing phase and the entire lunar cycle of 29.5 days. It’s a time of beginnings and renewal. It also offers a powerful opportunity for looking within and setting intentions.
During this phase, the Moon passes in front of the Sun, creating a dark sky devoid of its glow. However, this darkness is full of possibility and potential. You don’t need to know how things will unfold. Just take action and get it started.
You can work with the energy of this phase for three days before and after the new moon. Use this time to plant seeds of intention, so they germinate and grow as the Moon enters the waxing crescent phase.
The new moon brings reflection, purification, and alignment. It serves as a blank canvas, urging you to:
- Look within.
- Shed what no longer serves.
- Lay the groundwork for new aspirations.
- Connect with your inner self and the cosmos.
- Gain a sense of clarity and openness to universal energies.
Crystal Magic
Crystals that support setting intentions at the new moon include:
- Labradorite for new beginnings, hope, and possibility.
- Black Moonstone for manifesting your dreams.
- Arfvedsonite for creative visualization and productive action.
- Larvikite to focus your mind and trust the process.
