chamomile, rose and vanilla.
Place a large white pillar candle in the center of a large bowl and make

"Shining Goddess, come dance and sing; with you, the magic of harmony bring. Full and rich, to my heart, all your powers pray impart."
Meditation and Visualization
Sit down where you are and breathe deeply. There is no need to rush; now is a time of softness, of quiet knowing. See yourself in your mind's eye as you sit. Above you is a smiling moon in full glory.
As you look upon the lunar sphere, you see that the light is alive. It dances, and sings a special song. It jumps from the surface like a fire and travels downward to embrace you. the touch is cool, yet warm.
It reaches beyond your skin and saturates every pore, every cell - you are the moonlight; you are the shadow of a star. There is no body now to hold you back. Let your spirit fly with the moon wherever it needs to go. Make notes about this experience afterwards in your journal.
Basic Ritual Form
The actual ritual for a full moon depends on the focus you choose. Often witches recite the Charge of the Goddess at this time. Here is a moon charge that can be done prior to scrying. Begin by saying:
Next, light the moon candle you've created, saying:
"Mother Moon, welcome! Mother Moon, come! Your tides of power brings fulfillment, and your beams bear the realization of change!"
After this, look to the surface of the water where the moon candle
sits. Take a deep cleansing breath and say:
After this, look to the surface of the water where the moon candle sits. Take a deep, cleansing breath and say:
"Tides that sway and tides that flow; as above, so below; The moon once small, now fully seen in this bowl, my future bring."
See what movement, shapes, or images appear in the light that dances on the water. Clockwise movement generally means good things are coming in the next month. Counter-clockwise represent the need for caution. Take mental notes of any shapes and images that strike you with additional insight. For example, clockwise movement forming a heart could indicate a romantic interest making itself known before the next full moon.
