October Full Moon

October Full Moon Ceremony: Embrace Your Radiance

The October full moon, often called the Hunter’s Moon, is a time of preparation, gratitude, and embracing your personal power. Falling in the heart of autumn, this moon invites us to reflect on the abundance in our lives while letting go of what no longer serves us. It’s a perfect opportunity to reconnect with your inner goddess and honor your journey.

What the October Full Moon Represents

The Hunter’s Moon marks the season of gathering resources, both physically and emotionally, for the winter months ahead. It’s a time of grounding, focusing on your priorities, and embracing your sensuality and inner strength. This moon illuminates areas of life where we need balance, reminding us to cherish our unique beauty and let go of self-doubt.

How to Host Your Own Full Moon Ceremony

Transform your space into a sanctuary of self-love with this simple at-home ceremony:

1. Prepare Your Space:

   • Find a quiet area where you won’t be disturbed.

   • Cleanse the space with sage or palo santo to remove stagnant energy.

   • Set the mood with candles, soft music, and your favorite crystals like moonstone or carnelian.

2. Set Your Intentions:

   • Take a deep breath and write down what you wish to release (self-criticism, comparison, fear).

   • On a separate paper, write what you wish to invite into your life (confidence, passion, self-love).

3. Moonlight Meditation:

   • If possible, sit under the moonlight or near a window.

   • Close your eyes, focus on your breath, and visualize the moonlight washing over you, filling you with light and love.

4. Burn & Release:

   • Safely burn the paper with your "release" list in a fireproof dish, imagining those energies leaving your life.

   • Keep your "invitation" list as a reminder of your intentions.

5. Nourish Yourself:

   • End the ceremony with a self-care ritual. Take a luxurious bath, wear your favorite lingerie, or write a love letter to yourself.

Couples Boudoir: The Date Night You’ll Never Forget

Forget the predictable anniversary dinner. Forget the same old movie night. What if your next date day could take you both out of routine and into an intimate, unforgettable adventure? Couples boudoir is more than a photo session—it’s a journey into connection, passion, and play.

Start the Day With Pampering

Your experience begins long before the camera clicks. Imagine easing into the day together—soft music, coffee in hand, skin fresh and glowing. While your partner settles into hair and makeup, you get the chance to slow down, connect, and enjoy that delicious anticipation. It’s a rare pause where you can laugh, talk, and mentally prepare for what’s about to unfold.

Explore Each Other in New Ways

Then, the magic begins. For an hour or two, you’ll step into a private space curated for intimacy. Touch, kiss, laugh, and explore each other in ways you may never have allowed yourselves to before. I’ll guide you with poses and prompts that feel natural, playful, and sensual—capturing every smirk, every lingering glance, every moment where desire sparks.

This isn’t about forced posing. It’s about unlocking a layer of your connection you may not even realize exists.

Lunch While Your Desire Unfolds

After the session, you’ll slip back into the real world for a light lunch—while behind the scenes, your images are being carefully prepared. By the time you return, you’ll be ready for the most exciting part: your private reveal.

Relive the Passion, Together

You’ll sit down with me to view the delicious intimacy we’ve just captured. Every touch, every kiss, every spark between you—frozen in time. You’ll have the option to add a cinematic video clip that brings your passion to life in motion, making it even more intoxicating.

Take the Heat Into the Night

The experience doesn’t end in the studio. Carry that passion into your evening—whether it’s a decadent dinner, cocktails out on the town, or checking into your favorite hotel to finish what couldn’t be finished earlier.

This isn’t just a photo shoot. It’s a full-day experience that transforms into a memory you’ll relive again and again.

Why Choose Couples Boudoir?

Because anniversaries, milestones, and love itself deserve to be celebrated in ways that go beyond the ordinary. Couples boudoir is about claiming your connection, breaking away from routine, and creating something bold, intimate, and unforgettable.

So, are you ready to take the boring out of date night? Let’s make this your most daring anniversary yet.

Shaping the Circle: Why Change Begins With Us

As human beings, it’s in our nature to adapt. We bend, mold, and shift to fit the environments we’re placed in. Sometimes, that adaptability is beautiful—it helps us survive, helps us thrive. But sometimes, it’s dangerous.

If we are raised in families—or spend our time in social circles—that criticize women’s bodies, question what they wear, or whisper the infamous “Well, what was she wearing?” line when abuse is mentioned, we learn to follow suit. We internalize those messages. We begin to critique our own bodies. We silence our own truths. We minimize our own pain.

And that’s where the cycle lives.

If women truly want society to shift, it cannot start in faraway boardrooms or politics alone. It starts in our living rooms. Around our dinner tables. In our group chats. With the people we call family and friends.

It means speaking out instead of staying silent when sexual abuse is present in our family systems—even if that means “Uncle Joe” gets a bad reputation, or even loses his job. It means refusing to let relatives make toxic comments about what a woman should look like to be “attractive.” It means calling out fat shaming, slut shaming, or body policing when we hear it in our friend groups.

And yes—sometimes that means we lose people.

I’ve made some of those changes myself. I’ve chosen to stop sitting quietly in the face of cruelty. I’ve distanced myself from family members and friends who thrive on gossip, who feed off tearing others down. I’ve faced backlash. I’ve lost relationships. And it hasn’t been easy.

But here’s what I’ve gained:

✨ Family members who now treat people with more respect.
✨ Friends who cheer for me instead of competing with me.
✨ Women who rush in with open arms when they see me falling.
✨ A husband whose respect and tenderness for me has only deepened.

In the aftermath, my life has expanded. My spirit feels more aligned. And I’ve learned to step back and observe how profoundly the people we keep around us shape our lives.

Change is not easy. But every time one of us speaks up instead of staying silent, challenges a harmful joke, or chooses to leave a toxic circle—we plant a seed for a better world.

It’s not just about protecting ourselves. It’s about shifting the very culture we live in. And that starts, always, with us.

September Full Moon - Harvest Moon

The Magic of the September Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon, named for its proximity to the autumn equinox, graces us with its luminous presence in September. It symbolizes abundance, gratitude, and the culmination of efforts throughout the year. This moon encourages reflection on personal growth and prepares us for the slower, inward journey of fall. It's the perfect time to celebrate what you've achieved and release anything that no longer serves you.

In boudoir, this energy reminds us of the beauty in embracing cycles—both in nature and within ourselves. Let this full moon inspire self-love, empowerment, and unapologetic confidence.

How to Host Your Own Harvest Moon Ceremony

A full moon ceremony is a sacred time to connect with your inner self, release negativity, and set intentions for the future. Here’s a step-by-step guide to create your own ritual:

What You’ll Need:

• A quiet, comfortable space

• Candles (preferably white or gold)

• A small bowl of water

• Paper and pen

• Crystals (moonstone, citrine, or clear quartz are ideal)

• Sage or palo santo for cleansing

Steps:

1. Set the Scene:
   Cleanse your space with sage or palo santo to remove any stagnant energy. Light your candles and arrange your crystals around you to amplify the moon's energy.

2. Ground Yourself:
   Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Visualize roots growing from your body into the earth, anchoring you in the present moment.

3. Reflect and Release:
   On your paper, write down anything you want to release—old beliefs, habits, or emotions holding you back. When ready, fold the paper and hold it over the bowl of water, imagining those things dissolving.

4. Express Gratitude:
   Reflect on what you're thankful for. Speak these blessings aloud or write them down in your journal.

5. Set Intentions:
   Under the moonlight (or in a symbolic way indoors), write new intentions for the coming months. Feel the power of the Harvest Moon supporting your dreams.

6. Close with a Prayer:
   Use the prayer provided below or create your own. Blow out the candles, thanking the moon and the universe for their guidance.

Journal Prompts for the Harvest Moon

• What abundance have I experienced this year, and how can I celebrate it?

• What old habits, beliefs, or fears am I ready to release?

• How can I better align my actions with my dreams?

• What aspects of myself need more love and appreciation?

Harvest Moon Prayer

"Under the glow of the Harvest Moon, I honor my growth, my struggles, and my victories. I release what no longer serves me and open my heart to abundance, gratitude, and self-love. I trust in the cycles of life and embrace the beauty of who I am becoming. Thank you, Moon, for your guiding light. So it is."

🐍 The Last Shed: Closing the Year of the Snake with Reflection & Renewal

The Year of the Snake is coming to an end. Snakes teach us about transformation, shedding skins, and rebirth. But let’s be honest: shedding isn’t always graceful. Sometimes it’s raw. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it means leaving behind parts of ourselves we thought we couldn’t live without.

This year has been one of my hardest. I’ve walked through loss, grief, and sadness. But instead of letting it break me, I’ve let it fuel me. That’s why I finally leapt out of my comfort zone: I launched my waterfall boudoir adventures, I said yes to wild sunflower shoots (our August 31st session is going to be unforgettable), and I finally planned my dream boudoir & yoga retreat in Costa Rica—the ultimate experience of healing and growth.

I want you to feel that same freedom. That same rebirth. So I’ve created a 12-week journaling journey—one deep question each week—to help you close out this transformational year. Think of it as your final shed, so you can step into 2026 radiant, raw, and reborn.

🖋 Your 12-Week Year of the Snake Journal Prompts

Each week, sit with one question. Light a candle, pour a cup of tea, and let the answers flow.

Week 1: What am I most proud of shedding this year?
Week 2: Where have I resisted change, and why?
Week 3: What grief or loss am I still carrying, and what would it feel like to release it?
Week 4: How did I surprise myself in moments of strength?
Week 5: What comfort zone did I step out of—or where do I still need to?
Week 6: How has my relationship with my body evolved this year?
Week 7: What stories or beliefs am I ready to outgrow?
Week 8: What am I learning about my power through vulnerability?
Week 9: Where have I seen beauty grow out of pain?
Week 10: Who do I want to become in 2026?
Week 11: What symbolic “skin” do I want to leave behind this year?
Week 12: What is the brightest gift I discovered in myself this year?

🌹 Transformation doesn’t come easy. Shedding never does. But it is always worth it.

The last months of the Year of the Snake are your invitation to reflect, release, and prepare. To honor the lessons, even the painful ones. To celebrate the new skin you’re stepping into.

And if you’re ready to embody this transformation in a deeper way, join me—in the studio, in the waterfall, in the sunflowers, or even in Costa Rica. This is your moment to shine, to shed, and to rise.

✨ “Ready for your own final shed? Book The Serpent Gift experience below. Step into 2026 radiant, raw, and reborn.”

Over the past few months, I’ve had the honor of photographing so many incredible women. Each one came to me with her own story—stories of challenges, victories, heartbreak, and celebrations.

What they all shared was this: on some level, each of them had struggled to see the beauty in her body. To love it. To honor it. To believe it was worthy of admiration just as it is.

But with a little faith and courage, they chose to do something bold. They stepped into my studio, trusted the process, and trusted themselves.

And in the end? Every single one of them walked away changed—whether it was a breakthrough in self-love, a new perspective on beauty, or the realization that their body is already more than enough.

These sessions are about more than photos. They’re about transformation. They’re about coming home to yourself.

The Sacred Prostitute: The Evolution of Female Sex Work and Its Cultural Significance

🌹 The Sacred Prostitute: Reclaiming Power & Autonomy 🌹

For too long, society has worshipped women’s beauty in secret while shaming it in public. We cheer when men push their bodies to the edge for labor, yet condemn women who choose to use theirs as art, as livelihood, as survival. This contradiction is not just hypocrisy—it’s patriarchy in action.

But the “Sacred Prostitute” archetype reminds us of something deeper: there was a time when women’s sexuality was seen as holy, healing, and worthy of reverence. In ancient temples, priestesses embodied the union of body and spirit, offering intimacy not as shame, but as ceremony. It was patriarchy that stripped that reverence away, weaponizing shame against women who dared to claim their sensuality.

The Truth of Survival

So often, sex work isn’t entered out of luxury, but out of necessity. Women are making the best of hard circumstances, turning survival into strength. Their choices are not weakness—they are resilience in motion. Every woman who steps into that role is living proof of feminine power: resourceful, unbreakable, unstoppable.

And let’s name the hypocrisy clearly: when married men seek services, it is not the woman who breaks vows—it is the man. She did not promise fidelity. He did. Sex workers are often filling a void society refuses to acknowledge: men starving for connection, intimacy, or simply someone to listen.

The Artistry of the Body

And then there are the dancers. The strippers. The burlesque queens. The women who move their bodies like poetry. These women spend years learning to flow, to climb, to bend, to hypnotize. They are athletes, performers, and artists. Watching a woman dance is no less art than watching ballet—it is raw beauty, skill, and dedication. To shame them is to turn away from art itself.

Reclaiming What Was Ours All Along

To honor the Sacred Prostitute is to say: my body is mine.
My sensuality is mine.
My craft, my survival, my artistry—it is all mine.

No one has the right to shame a woman for how she chooses to use her body. Whether she is surviving, thriving, or creating beauty, her path is sacred.

Because when women reclaim autonomy over their bodies, society shakes. And that power is exactly what patriarchy fears most.

August Full Moon - The Sturgeon Moon

The full moon in August, often referred to as the Sturgeon Moon, is a powerful time for reflection, release, and renewal. Named after the abundance of sturgeon fish during this time of year, this lunar phase symbolizes abundance, resilience, and the deep connection to our emotional waters. It’s a magical opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you and step boldly into your radiance—just like we celebrate in boudoir photography.

What the August Sturgeon Moon Represents

The Sturgeon Moon encourages us to:

• Reflect on abundance: Recognize the richness in your life, whether it’s in love, creativity, or self-discovery.

• Release limitations: Shed insecurities or fears that block your self-confidence and self-love.

• Reclaim resilience: Just as the sturgeon thrives in challenging waters, you are capable of navigating life’s depths with grace and strength.

How to Host Your Own Full Moon Ceremony at Home

Embrace this lunar energy with an at-home ceremony that’s intimate, empowering, and deeply transformative. Here’s how:

1. Set the Scene

• Choose a cozy, quiet space—a candlelit bathroom, your bedroom, or even outdoors under the moonlight.

• Gather sacred items like candles, crystals (moonstone and aquamarine are ideal), sage or incense, and a journal.

• Wear something that makes you feel empowered, whether it’s a silky robe, your favorite lingerie, or nothing at all.

2. Cleanse Your Space and Energy

• Light sage or palo santo to cleanse your space of stagnant energy.

• Take deep breaths as you imagine releasing any negativity or doubt that’s weighing you down.

3. Meditate Under the Moonlight

• Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

• Visualize the moon’s radiant glow filling your body with light and washing away fear, doubt, or self-judgment.

• Allow yourself to feel grateful for your journey and the beauty you bring to the world.

4. Write in Your Journal

Use these prompts to dive deep:

• What areas of my life feel abundant and full of beauty?

• What limiting beliefs about myself am I ready to release?

• How can I embody resilience and self-love in my daily life?

• What does my most radiant and empowered self look like?

5. Speak Your Prayer or Affirmation

End your ceremony with a heartfelt prayer or affirmation. Here’s one you can use or adapt:

Under this radiant Sturgeon Moon, I release what no longer serves me. I embrace my abundance, my resilience, and my divine beauty. I am enough, just as I am. I shine brightly, unapologetically, and with love.

6. Celebrate Yourself

• Dance, take a moonlit bath, or simply savor the glow of your candles as you bask in your empowered energy.

43 & On Fire: Boudoir, Rebirth, and Reclaiming My Worth

I just turned 43. And damn… what a year 42 was.

I won’t sugarcoat it—this past year cracked me wide open.

In January, I lost both of my senior dogs just five days apart. The grief was guttural. The kind of heartbreak that forces you to sit still with your pain, question your purpose, and soften into surrender.

Around the same time, I had to face a painful truth: the family I had spent my entire life trying to stay connected to, prove myself to, belong to... never really saw me. Not the way I needed to be seen. That kind of realization doesn’t just sting—it shatters illusions you’ve built your entire identity around.

And so, for the last year and a half, my life felt like it was on pause.

I needed space to grieve, to unravel, to heal. And that healing journey wasn’t linear or pretty—but it was necessary.

Shedding My Skin: The Year of the Snake 🐍

It’s poetic really, that we’re in the Year of the Snake—a year of shedding skin, letting go of the old, and stepping boldly into the new.

That’s exactly what I’ve done.

I shed the pain. The grief. The old stories that said I wasn’t smart enough. Not good enough. That my dreams were too much or not for me. I stopped trying to prove my worth to people who never valued me the way I deserved.

I let it all burn.

Because I’m a Leo, baby. And I rise in the flames.

Rebirth Looks Good on Me (And She Wears Pink 💕)

For most of my life, I dressed in black. It was armor. A soft, silent signal that I was protecting something tender underneath. And don’t get me wrong—black still slaps. But when women start to heal? When they start to come home to themselves?

They fall in love with pink again.

Not because it’s soft or sweet—but because it’s powerful. Pink is the color of rebirth. Of joy. Of unapologetic feminine fire. And I am deep, deep in my pink girl era.

Building Dreams from the Ashes

June marked the first time in over a year that I felt ready to move forward again. And when I tell you the Universe showed up for me—it showed up with backup dancers.

✨ Two adventure boudoir sessions—fully booked in the Rockies and Drumheller.
✨ My Costa Rica Retreat is finally happening (after dreaming about it for three years) thanks to a magical collaboration with a past client and local yoga queen.
✨ Moon Ceremonies return this September—something I’ve longed to do since COVID shut them down.

✨I walked on fire - literally I did a ceremonial fire walk.. And you can bet I’ll be doing a project next year where I talk a bunch of you with me to walk on fire too.

And through all the heartbreak, one thing remained steady—my business.

Even when I felt stuck, I still showed up. Because every woman I photograph is another life changed. And even when I felt frozen in my own pain, my work helped launch other women forward.

The Real Reason I Do This Work

When I went no contact with my family, it hit me:
I had been trying to prove my worth to people who never saw it.

But the truth is—I’ve always been enough.

And now, I don’t need to prove anything to anyone.
I get to do this work because I love it.
Because it’s powerful.
Because I’m damn good at it.

My superpower?
Helping women see in themselves what the world has tried so hard to hide:
Their worth. Their light. Their power.

Because when a woman remembers who she is? The world better watch out.

She stops letting people use her.
She stops dimming her light to make others comfortable.
She starts taking up space, speaking her truth, and setting the world on fire with her brilliance.

This Next Chapter? 🔥 It’s Pure Leo Energy.

I’m entering 43 with fire in my belly, clarity in my vision, and a whole new level of badass energy.

💫 My art is evolving.
💫 My clients are transforming deeper than ever.
💫 My relationship with my husband has grown stronger and more beautiful through our shared grief and healing.
💫 And my business? She’s in her glow-up era.

This next year is going to be straight fire. And I hope some of you come along for the ride.

So if you're feeling stuck, lost, or like life’s been holding you down, hear this:

You are not broken. You are becoming.

Let’s shed the old. Let’s claim the fire.
Let’s dance in pink.
And let’s make this next chapter the hottest one yet.

With love, fire, and a whole lot of pink,
Sarina Rose

How Boudoir Posing Goes From Scary to the Best Part

Why Posing Should Be the Part of the Shoot You’re Most Excited About
(At least when you shoot with me...)

Let’s be honest—when most women think about boudoir photography, posing is the part that brings up the most anxiety.

“How am I supposed to look sexy?”
“What do I do with my hands?”
“What if I feel awkward or silly?”

or my personal favourite “I have Chantler Bing face”

And listen, I get it. For so many of us, especially those who’ve been taught to hide or shrink parts of ourselves, the idea of stepping in front of a camera and trying to pose can feel intimidating as hell. But I’m here to flip that fear on its head—because posing, when done right, isn’t something to dread. It’s the most powerful, liberating, and transformational part of your boudoir session.

I’m not that photographer who just throws you into a pose and says, “Give me your best bedroom eyes.”

No, babe. That’s not how we do things here.

Yes, I will coach you. I’ll guide you, from the tilt of your chin to the placement of your toes. But what I offer goes so far beyond the mechanics of posing. What I offer is connection. To your body. To your sensuality. To your own power.

Because this shoot? It’s not just about taking pretty pictures. It’s a rebirth.

It’s a journey of remembering who the hell you are underneath all the noise. And in order for that transformation to happen, we have to go deeper than stiff, still poses and forced smiles. We have to awaken your body—and your spirit—to move, to express, to feel.

From Exotic Dancer to Empowerment Coach

Before I picked up a camera professionally, I spent 8 years as an exotic dancer. I learned how to move, how to use breath and posture and gaze to seduce. But here’s what most people don’t understand—yes, I learned how to move for the male gaze, but in that performance, I uncovered something unexpected: a deeper connection to myself.

The real magic didn’t happen under the lights. It happened in my bedroom, after work, when I’d put on music and dance—just for me. There was no audience. No judgment. Just my body and my breath and the rhythm I was creating. It was art. It was power. It was mine.

I created my own sacred space—a space to simply be in my body. Not to impress. Not to seduce. Not for anyone else’s pleasure but mine. There was no goal, no climax to chase, no partner to excite. Just me, fully present, and the uninhibited joy of existing in my own skin.

And now? I get to share this safe space with my clients.

My Signature Sensual Movement Method

Over the past 14 years as a boudoir photographer, I’ve developed my own method to teach women how to connect to their bodies in a way that feels intuitive, empowering, and-yes-sexy as hell.

We start slow. Breath work. Simple hand placements. Subtle movements.

And then? We build. One breath becomes a gaze. One hand movement becomes a sway of the hips. Your body starts to move like it remembers something ancient. Something sacred. Something wild.

By the end of your session, it’s no longer about the pose at all. It’s about the feeling. It’s about letting your body lead and trusting that it knows exactly what to do. I’ve watched women, women who walked in saying “I’m clumsy” or “I’m not sexy” - end up doing their own seductive little dance in front of my camera by the end of the shoot. Not because I told them to. But because they finally reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels good to them.

This Is Where the Real Transformation Happens

When you shoot with me, it’s not about faking a look or squeezing into some idealized version of sexy. It’s about discovering your own flavor of power—and letting it shine.

You leave my studio not just with stunning images, but with a renewed sense of confidence. A knowing. A fire in your belly.

Because you didn’t just get posed—you got embodied.
You didn’t just follow instructions—you moved with purpose.
You didn’t just play a role—you reclaimed your own damn story.

This is the part of the shoot I get most excited about.
And I want it to be the part you get excited about, too.

Because when you finally see yourself move in that way—when you feel that sensual, soft, strong, divine energy radiating from you—there’s no going back.

You’ll never see yourself the same way again.
And you won’t want to.

Want to get started on your own movement journey? Every booked client gets access to my exclusive posing videos to help ease into it before your shoot, but don’t worry if you don’t watch them—I’ll be right there, guiding you, every step of the way. No experience necessary. Just a willingness to show up, breathe deep, and trust yourself.

Let’s move.
Let’s rise.
Let’s transform.

You ready?

How about I take this one step further?

Not only am I confident I can help guide you through posing for photos, I will empower you so much that you slay your video clips too. And just to prove it, here’s a short clip of one of my clients.

Miss S: It was her very first time ever in front of the camera. She came in nervous, unsure if she could pull it off… and within minutes, she was flowing like a goddess. ✨

Yes, it’s sexy. Yes, it’s a little vulnerable. But more than anything, it’s empowering AF.

Hit play and see for yourself how quickly fear turns into fire.

Boudoir Studio Edmonton posing video with first time client

One last confidence boost—because this one’s a game-changer.

Every few months, I host an in-studio posing workshop exclusively for my booked clients. It’s a one-hour, hands-on experience designed to help you reconnect with your body before your shoot. You’ll join a small group of women—each on their own self-love journey—as I guide you through a variety of poses, offer real-time feedback, and help you tap into your natural movement.

It’s fun, it’s low-pressure, and it’s filled with genuine “aha!” moments. Best of all? You’ll realize you’re not alone. You’ll be surrounded by women cheering you on as you cheer them on too. It’s about connection, confidence, and remembering that your body was never the problem—it just needed to be seen.

If you’d like to join a workshop, just mention it when you book, and I’ll help you find the perfect date.

So… have I given you enough reasons to let that fear of posing melt away? Because your dream shoot is waiting—and I promise, you’re more than ready.

July Full Moon: The Buck Moon

July's Full Moon is called the Buck Moon, symbolizing growth and transformation. During this time, male deer, or bucks, are growing their antlers—representing strength, renewal, and stepping into your power. This moon invites you to embrace your inner strength and release anything holding you back. It’s a perfect time for self-care, empowerment, and celebrating your personal journey.

For boudoir enthusiasts, the Buck Moon can be a time to reflect on how you express your sensuality and confidence. Channel its energy to feel radiant, powerful, and unapologetically yourself.

How to Host Your Own Full Moon Ceremony

   • Create a sacred space. Light candles, burn sage or incense and gather any tools you feel connected to, such as crystals (moonstone, selenite, or clear quartz are great choices), tarot cards, or flowers.

   • Consider wearing something that makes you feel powerful—lingerie, a silky robe, or even nothing at all!

2. Cleanse Your Space and Yourself:

   • Use sage, palo santo, or incense to cleanse your area.

   • Take a salt bath or a shower with intention, imagining the water washing away any negativity.

5. Release Ceremony:

   • Safely burn your list of things you’re releasing, allowing the smoke to carry them away.

   • Speak your intentions out loud to solidify your manifestation.

6. Close with Gratitude:

   • Thank the moon for its guidance and take a moment to feel the powerful energy you’ve created.
