New Moon Blessing from Norse Warlock

New Moon Ritual Begin by casting Your Circle. Facing North, hold your arms straight down to the earth and say, "Great Guardians of the North, holder of the element of earth, join here in this circle for the observance of the crux of the dark to the new moon. Be the keeper of this, the first quarter of my circle on this night! You are welcomed with open arms, open mind, and an open heart." Slowly make your way to the West. Facing West, embrace yourself with your arms warmly and say, "Great Guardians of the West, holder of the element of water, join here in this circle for the observance of the crux of the dark to the new moon. Be the keeper of this, the second quarter of our circle on this night! You are welcomed with open arms, open mind, and an open heart.” Slowly make your way to the South. Facing South, raise your arms straight out to either side of you and say, "Great Guardians of the South, holder of the element of fire, join in this circle for the observance of the crux of the dark to the new moon. Be the keeper of this, the third quarter of our circle on this night! You are welcomed with open arms, open mind, and an open heart." Finally, slowly make your way to the East. Facing East, raise your arms straight above you and say, "Great Guardians of the East, holder of the element of air, join us here in this circle for the observance of the crux of the dark to the new moon. Be the keeper of this, the final quarter of our circle on this night! You are welcomed with open arms, mind, and an open heart." Stand directly in the center of the circle, arms raised high above your head, and say, "Holy Keepers of Balance, holders of spirit, the point between all elements, join in this circle for the observance of the crux of the dark to the new moon. This is very much your time, where the lunar month is perfectly balanced between cycles. Teach us your mystical ways on this very holy night, and help us to further know our own spirituality, and the mysticism which surrounds us." Before leaving the Circle, give thanks to Odin (or your personal god), and the Guardians, for all that you have and will receive.
