Author:
Moon Phase: Full Moon
Suggested Month: Any spring month
Supplies
  • inks, acrylic paints or watercolors in yellow, orange and red
  • water
  • compass for drawing circles
  • paintbrush or dropper
  • art journal page or watercolor paper
  • paint cups to mix the paint when you dilute it
  • white wax crayon or masking fluid
Directions
  1. Set a sacred space and prepare for your art ritual.
  2. Choose a page in your art journal or cut a square of watercolor paper.
  3. Draw a circle with a compass on your paper. Make sure it fills about ¾ of the page. You want to leave room to write later.
  4. Have three small paint holders or cups. Fill each half way with water. Add a drop of yellow to one of the paint holders, a drop of orange to another and a drop of red to the last one.
  5. Mix each cup so the color is vibrant but diluted.
  6. Follow the outer line of your circle with your white wax crayon or your masking fluid. This is to prevent the water and the paint from seeping past the outer edges of your circle.
  7. Wet the inside of the circle with water.
  8. Dip your paintbrush or dropper into the yellow paint.
  9. With your paintbrush or dropper, drop watery yellow paint onto the water surface.
  10. Watch the drops of yellow paint spread. Let this layer dry.
  11. Once the yellow paint is dry, wet the circle again.
  12. Dip your paintbrush or dropper into the orange paint.
  13. With your paintbrush or dropper, drop watery orange paint onto the water surface.
  14. Watch the drops of orange paint spread. Let this layer dry.
  15. Once the orange paint is dry, wet the circle again.
  16. Dip your paintbrush or dropper into the red paint.
  17. With your paintbrush or dropper, drop watery red paint onto the water surface.
  18. Watch the drops of red paint spread. Let this layer dry.
  19. Now for the fun scrying part of the moon art ritual. Relax your mind as you stare at the colors in the circle. Be like a child looking up at the clouds and imagining they see shapes and animals. What images, shapes or symbols do you see forming in your circle?
  20. Draw arrows from the places where you see something then describe what you see and the message that image might be sharing with you.
  21. When you are done capturing the images you see, consider all the messages you received. What do you think Spirit was wanting you to know about shining your light into the world?
  22. End with a prayer of gratitude.
