Love and kindness: a Waxing Moon ritual
Six simple steps for any evening while the moon is growing. Take your time; there's no wrong way to do it.
Choose your evening
Pick any evening while the moon is growing. The waxing moon is traditionally a time for building: the light grows a little each night. Set aside 15–20 quiet minutes and put your phone on silent.
Clear your space
Tidy a small surface, open a window and light red rose incense. Many people like to waft the smoke around the room as a simple way to mark the start.
Light your candle
Place a Love spell candle on a heatproof dish and light it. Say your intention, love and kindness, out loud or in your head.
Hold your crystal
Hold a Rose Quartz sphere in both hands for a few slow breaths. In tradition this stone is linked with love and kindness; take the moment simply to focus.
Write it down
Write one small, practical step you will take this week towards your intention. You might begin with: "I welcome kindness, given and received."
Close the ritual
Leave the stone somewhere you will see it daily as a reminder of your step. Snuff out the candle and incense rather than leaving them burning.

About the Ritual Builder
How does the Ritual Builder work?
Choose what you'd like to focus on and a moon phase. The builder puts together a simple six-step evening ritual using a candle, incense and a crystal that tradition links with your intention, plus a writing prompt suited to the phase.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. The pieces we suggest are real items from our shop, but any candle, incense or stone you already own works just as well. The ritual is about taking a quiet moment.
Will a ritual make things happen?
Rituals are a tradition for reflection and focus, not a promise of any result, and they are not a health treatment. Think of it as a calm way to mark an intention.
Is it safe to burn candles and incense?
Always use a heatproof dish, keep flames away from curtains, pets and children, open a window for smoke, and never leave anything burning unattended.
