New moons are great for fresh starts, and a chalkboard spell is a fun way to get going.

You will need:

A small, inexpensive chalkboard

Colored chalk

An intention for the moon cycle

Bless your chalkboard using your breath. Exhale on it, saying:

I bless and consecrate this

as my intention board.

With the chalk, write your intention at the top of the board. Beneath it, make a simple line drawing of your intention. Beneath the drawing, list three actionable steps you will take during this moon cycle to fulfill your intention.

Set the board where you will see it every day. As you complete each step, put a checkmark beside it on the list. (Do not cross it out.)

At the next dark moon, give thanks and erase everything on the board so it’s fresh for something new, or keep working on this intention.
