New moon rituals

[Lenea]

How many of you also celebrate new moon, just as full moon. I always remember to do a ritual for both new and full moon.

I've gradually become more secular-witchcraft than religious-Wiccan over the years. I do observe Full Moon's in circle outdoors when the weather allows, but not other phase changes.

Do you have a particular new moon rite you practice? What do you do at NM, if you don't mind sharing, that is.

@NS - many rituals start with a cast circle then add on the special rite or "observance". Try thinking up the symbols that relate to your special rite and collect the needed items, colors, scents ahead of time. Let them tell a story in your circle. Speak, dance or act out the story as well as you can. Give thanks & Toast the spirits. Release and farewell. Ground the circle to end the ritual.
