The light of the Full Moon amplifies energy, making it an ideal time to cleanse and charge your spiritual tools. Many practitioners gather under the Full Moon to perform rituals of manifestation and renewal.

Gather your tarot and oracle decks, crystals, rosaries, or other sacred items. Cleanse them with sacred smoke—sage, cedar, copal, or a local herb of your choice. The key is to clear and neutralize energies with intention.

Charging Your Tools

Place them outside under the moonlight, on a windowsill, or in a special place.For each item, set an intention:


"I invite the light and manifestation power of this Full Moon to bless and amplify this tool, so it may serve its highest purpose. Blessed be."


In the morning, offer a prayer of gratitude to the Moon for its guidance and the renewed energy within your tools.


The Leo Full Moon reminds us to stand in our power, embrace joy, and express our true selves without hesitation. Use this lunar moment to celebrate your courage, amplify your confidence, and shine your inner light for the world to see.
