The Moon-Bright Cup

When the moon is full, the world gathers light in the quiet places. Even the smallest cup glows a little brighter. This rite uses that brightness to renew what has dimmed and to steady the heart for the days ahead.

🌕 Step One: Meet the Light

Stand at a window or step outside. Hold your cup in both hands. Let the moonlight touch the rim or your fingers. Whisper one word you want more of: peace, clarity, courage, rest.

🔥 Step Two: Warm the Center

Pour a warm drink. Coffee or tea both carry the same purpose tonight. Before sipping, stir once clockwise. This gathers the intention you named. Feel the warmth settle beneath your ribs.

💭 Step Three: The Three Swallows

Take three slow sips. With the first, release what drained you this month. With the second, soften the places where tension lives. With the third, invite the moon’s brightness to settle gently in your mind.

🌙 Step Four: Seal the Light

When the cup is empty, touch the rim with your fingertip and say, “What is clear remains.” Let the rest of the night stay quiet and simple.
