New Moon Ritual: A Shamanic Fire Ceremony

  • Be The Light Shamanic Healing Madison, WI, 53704 United States (map)

What is the purpose of a shamanic fire ceremony?

The fire is a cleansing, transformational and powerful tool. When we work with intention, the fire helps us to change and shift our lives in the ways we desire. Fire ceremonies have remained a core practice amongst many traditional cultures for tens of thousands of years.

What is a new moon ritual for?

The energy of the new moon is often harnessed to “welcome in” what we desire for our lives. This ceremony is about planting seeds to receive new energies, patterns, new ways of being, etc. This can include internal and external shifts. The new moon is a powerful ally in helping us manifest.

This ritual can also be about letting go of the things that no longer serve us- outdated thoughts, emotions, patterns, relationships, and perhaps even a career or job that no longer serves you. This can include internal and external shifts. The full moon is a powerful ally in helping us manifest change.

Format of the evening

You’ll have a chance to share what has brought you to this ceremony. Perhaps it’s an interest in fire ceremonies, moon rituals, shamanism, connecting with like-minded individuals, etc. I will then explain the structure of the ceremony and provide guidance for setting an intention for the ceremony. You’ll have a few minutes of silence to form your intention and do some journaling if you wish.

We will begin the ceremony.

Once the ceremony is complete, you’ll have some time to journal if you like, and share about your experience, if you wish to do so.

Towards the end of our time together, there will be time to socialize.

What will the ceremony be like?

This ceremony is a shamanic ceremony practiced by the Q’ero shamans of Peru, and has been handed down to me as part of my training in this lineage. We will connect with the power of the fire by singing a beautiful, yet simple chant. Remember that everyone is focused on doing their personal work, and no one is listening to you sing- so don’t be shy or deterred!

The ceremony is simple, and I will discreetly remind the group of the steps as we move through it. There is no need to worry about remembering a complicated sequence or “messing up”.
