First Quarter moon phase on a Monday... 

Peppermint and lavender tea helps with calming the mind and getting into a good head space to prepare and perform any rituals and ceremonies. 

Alter setup:

Set up wet beach sand in the figure 8. 

Green Aventurine and Tigers Eye with Celtic Sea Salt should be used in a circle around the 8. Mugwort and Sage should be placed in a shell on top of the figure 8 and burned. 

A yellow, silver or green candle should also be placed and burned until completion in the shell. 

2 matching feathers or Arrows should be placed on the south and the west of the circle. 

A skeleton key on the north side. Under the skeleton key should be a parchment paper of the goals trying to be accomplished or /and any obstacle's in your way of completing said goals and what qualities you need to have to overcome them. 

Affirmation to chant or to make until a sigil and kept someone on your alter:

I am building my mental momentum and overcoming all obstacle's in the way. 

I use my intellect and communication with emotional wisdom and clarity.

*Remember to always give an offering when asking for a blessing.*

(Black or Dark Red Berries along with Honey or a Crown made from natures vines and flowers are a favorite of mine depending on the season.)
