Celebrate the first of two March New Moons by consecrating your very own talisman! A talisman is a small, portable object blessed to bring the owner good fortune. This can be a piece of jewelry, a scarf, a decorative object — just make it personal and pay attention to reoccurring objects in your life as you pick yours.

We’ll open the session by casting our circle, consecrating our talisman with new moon oil, sacred smoke, and fire, and conclude with gentle moon salutations and meditation.
