New Moon Rituals

Twelve guides, one for each new moon, each built around a woman of scripture — Deborah, Esther, Abigail, Priscilla. Every one has her story, what the tradition did with her, journaling prompts, and a simple practice you can do alone or with a circle.

I made these for post-evangelical women who want a rhythm for paying attention — a way to stay in the tradition while recovering what got buried in it. New to this, or wondering whether a Christian can work with the moon at all? Start here — Rosh Chodesh, Psalm 104:19, and why the moon shows up in Scripture far more than I was taught.

Doing this with other people?

These work alone, but they were built for a circle — that's how I use them. Here's how to host one: setting the space, structuring the evening, and facilitating so that everyone actually speaks.

“The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims God’s handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world.” Psalm 19:1-4
