Manifest Your Intentions with a New Moon Simmer Pot Ritual

Manifest Your Intentions with a New Moon Simmer Pot Ritual

Who's ready for a little new moon magick?! Today we are going to craft a ice simmer pot for manifesting your desires! The new moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle, which means it is a good time to set new intentions and with focus, time, and energy, these intentions will come to fruition by the next phase of the lunar cycle, which is the full moon.

If you're new here, you’re probably wondering, “What the heck is a simmer pot?” It’s basically the easiest way to make your home smell like a dreamy retreat while enhancing your magick through scents. A simmer pot is just a mix of water, fresh ingredients like fruits, herbs, and spices, all heated together on the stove.

As it simmers, it fills your space with cozy, fragrant goodness. Think of it like aromatherapy meets kitchen witchery—perfect for setting the mood, manifesting your intentions, or just making your place feel extra inviting. Plus, it’s super customizable, so you can toss in whatever makes your heart (and nose) happy! Remember, it's not about buying all the cool witchy things, but about showing up for each moon cycle, and being resourceful with what you have.

Ingredients for New Moon Simmer Pot:

Lemon Peels or Dried Lemon Slices

Lavender

Cloves

Bay Leaves

Moon Water (Tap or distilled work great)

Instructions for Creating New Moon Simmer Pot:

1. Sit with and meditate with your ingredients for 15 minutes. Think hard about what you are bringing into fruition. Write on three bay leaves what you are manifesting during this moon cycle. You can write the same manifestation three times or you can write three different manifestations.

2. Create a mantra that you will be saying as you add each ingredient, then as you stir the simmer pot repeat mantra. Example mantra:

For this moon cycle, I am going to work on:

Being in my body (staying present)

Mental health

Eating well

Another great mantra that I'm currently working with is: Everything that I need, I already have. Everything that I have, is all that I need.

The goal is to keep it simple and to the point so we are more focused on building our energy and intention instead of trying to memorize words. When creating a mantra, be sure to use the present-tense as if you are already living in this new reality you've creative for yourself. Take time to envision what you're manifesting. Since I'm manifesting eating well, I may connect with the thoughts of me not binge eating and meal prepping so I don't eat out as much, for example.

On the night of the New Moon (or day of, depending on how long you want the simmer pot to go on for), after you have meditated with your ingredients and created your mantra, begin the simmer pot:

• Fill a large pot with water, this can be blessed or tap

• Place each ingredient into simmer pot slowly, and with intention

• Repeat mantra [[_____________________]] for each ingredient

• Add in splashes of moon water, if short simmer add whole bottle of moon water, for a longer simmer (Up to 24 hours) replenish tap water every 45 minutes and continue to add splashes of moon water

  • Tip: If you are only using peels and spices, your simmer pot can live up to four days with replenishing water every 30-45 minutes)

• Once you are done with your simmer pot, remove from heat and strain out peels, spices, etc until you are left with the water

• Allow water to cool, then place water in a spray bottle to use for the remainder of the moon cycle

Once you have safely placed the simmer pot water into a spray bottle, use that spray every day at least once a day with intention until the next moon cycle. If you still have water left over before the start of the next moon cycle, pour it to the earth on the last day of the cycle to prevent it from getting rancid. Personally, I would keep this refrigerated while you store just to ensure it's shelf-stable.

If anyone has tips on a way to stabilize this mixture please let me know in the comments below. Happy manifesting fam. xx
