Welcome to holistic secrets podcast. Where we will guide you to reveal the secrets that are in a reshared join us. As we help you gain an understanding of spiritual world with me April. And with me tests. Let's dive and do it. Hi, I'm Tess. On this week's podcast, we will reveal the secrets of the moon phases. Starting this week with the new moon. And the waxing Crescent moon. Then in the next three weeks. We will reveal the secrets. Of the other six phases. But before we begin just a little bit about us. I've been a practicing witch for roughly about 24, 25 years. And it was very, very difficult to find information on the subjects. And the internet wasn't available back then. So I didn't have that to go look under. No one wanted to share or to help. All I ever got was read books. Research. Figure it out on your own. Well, so good idea to read up on the subjects. We. Thought we would start this podcast to reveal the secrets. What's good. I'm April and I am test his daughter. I have a just start, not just started, but kinda just started my journey into everything. Started taking some intuitive classes, got really into Tara cards, crystal, stuff like that. So. I have the internet so I can look stuff up and find stuff easier than. My mother could, but I still feel as though it's easier for us to listen and have something where you can find all the information all in one spot. So that's how we kind of came up with the idea for this podcast, with her not being able to find anything and. I'm more of a listener than a reader. So. We're here to teach you everything that we know and everything that we can. So. Enjoy. Well, it's a good time that we're talking about the new moon and the waxing Crescent moon. As the new moon was just two days ago and we're in. The waxing Crescent moon right now. So let's dive in. And so the new moon. The new moon is the moon that you don't see at night. Because it blends in. With the night sky. The moon is still there. It does not go away or disappear. As I have seen people post that the moon is no longer there. I don't know where people came up with that idea. But that is not how it is. The moon is still in between the sun and the earth. and it occurs. When the moon is situated between the sun. And the earth. And it shadow side is pointed towards the earth. So it would be sun moon. Earth. We see the side of the moon, not illuminated by the sun. So it blends in. Like I said with the dark night sky. The spiritual meaning is a cold for presence. Which means to be fully present in what you really want. Before we present. When you explore your deepest desires and heartfelt wishes. That can get lost sometimes and all that we have to do in life. The new moon is time to pause spiritually. It represents new beginnings. Hope for the future. And a belief that anything is possible. At time to manifest. What we want. It's when we sow our metaphysical seed into the dark fertile soil. The darkness is a time for reflection. And exploring the unseen. Often thought of. As the feminine Moonphase. Self care practices. Bring a quiet sense of intent. As you allow yourself to rest. Spend some time journaling. And exploring. What is in your heart? Go outside. And meditate. Walking in nature. Soak up the energy of the new moon. Giving the appreciation of the dark moon. There are some crystals. That are good for the new moon they're clear courts. Amethyst. Library date. Moonstone saline night. Pinco. And many more. And just a few examples of some of them. One is Celine night. It is an important tool in any energy workers, arsenal. It is a high vibrational crystal. It clears blockages. Epic lifts your spirit. And guide you to an elevated state of being it, cleanses and charges, all other stones and crystals. So Lee night. Is associated with saline. The Greek God has said the moon. A fun fact. Gypson, which is what Celine United is made from. Was thought to be only found on earth. But in 2004, It was found on Mars. Which hints at water on Mars. Just thought it was a fun fact for everybody. Labber date. Links us. To the spirit world where anything is possible. It encourages us to keep our head. In the clouds bridging the gap between the heavens. And physical reality. So your dreams. RN as far out as they seen. It can support your intentions. Which makes it good. For the new moon phase. Where you want to put your intentions? Out to the universe. It connects to the crown chakra, which connects you to the higher realm of consciousness. Clear courts. It is a high vibration stone. It clears your mind. Body. And spirit. At any clutter. It helps you align with your higher self. And live at your highest potential. It helps you to manifest your heart's desire. It can charge other crystals And enhance the power of your intentions. Essential oils for the new moon lemon peppermint. rosemary. Grapefruit. And Jasmine love me a grapefruit. Oh, I love eating grapefruit. I haven't been had that. And I don't know how long. I saw him with the story. And I'm like, damn, I should've bought one. I know they're so expensive though. Anyway, sorry. Injection. And that's interjection. Lemon. The sense of lemon is uplifting. Clarifying properties. And can help set clear intentions. And also lemon water. It's really good to drink. I drink that a lot. I have now what, two bags of lemons rot, because I keep trying to put them in the fridge. Can I, every time I go for a lemon water, I got fuzzy green limits in the. Damn. Yeah, I don't think those are good. Peppermint. It's invigorating and stimulating. It can awaken your senses. It's good for new beginnings. And this is the first year that I am growing peppermint in my garden. So we can try to make peppermint water. Oh, they say that. Or, you know, what's good too, is, is to make mint teas. Like ice tea. With the tea bags. And put the, Peppermint or spearmint. It's really good. Interesting. Rosemary. Mental clarity, focus and memory. Used to sharpen intentions. Enhance your connection to your goals. You can do, you can do anything with'em. Like the dried Rosemary. Did you get, when you put it in your. Um, different recipes and stuff. Yeah. Don't we see. A lot of steak recipes at Rosemary. Oh, Marion time. Yeah, that would be good. That would be good. And then grapefruit. The citrusy and bright aroma can uplift your spirits. And encourage positivity. Definitely more positive. We'll meet in the grapefruit. And we all need positivity. Especially how the world is today. Jasmine is deeply central and connects you to your inner wisdom. Encourages self reflection and helps you dream big. Some of the same for Jasmine and race. Or is that different? I don't know. Jasmine's Jasmine. So. Um, And I don't need any help with dreaming big. I have some really weird. Fricking dreams when I have them all, I'll let you all know. My different dreams. Um, Then a ritual. If you're into. Doing rituals. for the new moon. You can wear white. For a clean slate, if you want. That's a nerdy anyway. Sorry. Ground yourself. Or protect yourself in a white light from the universe, God, or whatever you believe in. Like candles. Burn incense place off music. Or arrange crystals to create a sacred ambience. Let's take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Close your eyes. And visualize your intentions. And visualize them as they're coming into your life. Or as you already have them in your life. If you have any emotions ever, you were ready, achieved your desires. Make sure you say. Everything in a positive way. And a CA a good color candle to use. Four. Um, the moon phases is white. Or silver. Stay away from energy suckers. You should be a no-no in general. But especially at the new moon phase. The new moon energy is incredibly special. You want all the positive and creative energy flowing through you. And around you. None of it should be wasted. And then the last thing. Is journaling. Journaling is a good way to. Uh, record what you're feeling. Where you're going in your journey. So. Bring a quiet sense of intent as you allow yourself to rest. Spend some time generally. And exploring what your heart. What is in your heart? Ask yourself, what you want to do, what you want to bring. Forward. In your life right now. How do I want to be in a relationship with. Work partner with myself. Or anything else that is important to you? Answering questions can help you understand where you went. To put your energy throughout the moon cycle. The new moon reminds you to trust the invisible. All right. So up next, we're going. To be doing the waxing Crescent movie. The waxing Crescent is a sliver of the moon starting on the. Right side. Showing itself. Itself again, the term waxing means increasing. This phase is waxing halfway between the new moon and the first quarter moon. The angle of the earth, moon and sun is almost perpendicular to about 90 degrees. And a day or so after the new moon, a sliver of the moon appears in the west shortly after sunset. People think the moon visible in the west after sunset is the moon rising, but it's not, it is said it is a setting moon. Since the earth is spinning in the sky. All objects rise in the east and set in the west. A waxing Crescent moon. Visible in the Western sky. Well, Quickly follow the. The sun. Below the west. Western harass. Horizon. The. Racks and Crescent moon has nothing. Thing to do with the earth shadow on the. Moon. the earth shadow can fall on the moon. Only at the full moon when the. Moon. and sun are opposite. The sun. On either side of. The earth. When. When. the Earth's shadow. Falls on the moon. We have a lunar eclipse. That's not the case with the waxing Crescent moon. This is a shadow. On the Crescent. Moon. all right. Practicing self care, the waxing Crescent moon. As a time of self reflection. Cause. The moon. And grows with light. You can. See things. Clear. This. Isn't it time to reflect in your life and change or improve what you want. Use the waxing Crescent moon to create a positive energy and get rid of any negative energy. And what is no longer serving you? If you're looking for love, it can be a good time to set intentions. The energy is conductive for attracting new love. Is a good time for abundance and prosperity. Set intentions for more financial abundance. You can use it for protection too. The positive energy can help deflect the negative energy. So some crystals. Crystal is that go along with the waxing Crescent moon, our carnelian moonstone. And Busta might my mom or me bust my, I immediately thought of Busta rhymes. Media started. I anyway. And carnelian is a deep orange crystal that works to cleanse. Clear and activate the sacral chakra. It brings fresh insight and simulate your creativity. Stimulates. They mean the same thing. Simulate stimulate. It's all the same. Sorry. It has. As a strong. Vibration of support and sharpens your mind. It has the yang energy from the sun. Moonstone it is filled with passive receptive. Feminine energy that is cooling and calming to the emotions. It balances male and female energies and counteract any excess yang energy. I put the moonstone on your forehead to open and activate your third eye and Hansen, your psychic abilities. It will help you trust your own intuition and to ground ideas. Down through the shock GRA. So Brandon is. And stone. Like a word. Yeah. Hi, Chuck him. And he sits, he calms down then. It's Yeah. moonstones up. Just one is or. Pink. Um, powerful and has a deep girth.
