The New Moon or Dark Moon Ritual is one that can be performed if you have magick that you wish to accomplish or if you just wish to have some extra meditation time with the Goddess. It is very simple and rather quick to do. Just a quiet time to spend in contemplation of the inner soul while you travel to the inner cauldron.
This Ritual is almost like the Spirit Path- Working that is listed under meditation. One is trying to accomplish that same thing without the guided visualizations. This is the reason for the importance of writing down and vision or premonitions that may come to you during this Ritual.
