THE GRIMOIRE / DIVINATION

The moon bowl

Catch the moon’s reflection in water and follow the images made by light and movement.

What you’ll need

  • A wide bowl
  • Water
  • A place with a view of the moon
  • A notebook

The ritual

  1. Fill the bowl and place it securely where the moon or night sky can reflect on the surface.
  2. Sit beside it and ask what is growing, full, or fading in your present circumstances.
  3. Move one hand near the bowl without touching it and watch how the reflected light changes with the small currents of air.
  4. Record the first image, word, and feeling that appear. Bring them together as a prompt for the coming week.
