“When the sky opens, the sacred waters of the Nile cleanse the heart.” – Ancient Egyptian Proverb

One of the most powerful full moons of the year, the Sturgeon Moon will shine brightly on August 9, 2025. In spiritual traditions, this moon is linked to abundance, emotional cleansing, and deep intuition. In Ancient Egypt, the full moon was seen as a divine eye, celebrated through sacred rituals of purification.

To honor this special night, we present a ceremonial guide inspired by the wisdom of Ancient Egypt — a ritual for deep spiritual cleansing under the energy of the Sturgeon Moon.

🌿 Purpose of the Ritual

Align with the energy of the Sturgeon Moon to:

- Release emotional burdens from the past

- Cleanse mental fog

- Reconnect with inner power

- Align with universal frequency

Egyptian-Inspired Cleansing Ritual

🕯️ Preparations

Time: Peak of the full moon – between 10:11 PM and 11:00 PM

Space: Quiet area, preferably outdoors or by a sacred altar

You Will Need:

- White linen cloth (symbol of purification)

- Blue lapis lazuli stone (sacred to Goddess Isis)

- A bowl of pure water (representing the Nile)

- Sandalwood and myrrh essential oils (for cleansing)

- One white candle

- Dried sage or blue lotus incense

- Pen and paper

Ritual Steps

1. Cleanse the Space

Purify the area with sage or blue lotus incense. Let the smoke reach every corner.

2. Connect with the Light

Light the white candle.

Place your hands over your heart and whisper the intention:

“With the guidance of ancient light, I release the past. I cleanse my soul with the waters of the Nile.”

3. Water Ceremony – Sacred Nile Flow

Hold the bowl of water between your hands.

Close your eyes and visualize the ancient wisdom flowing through it.

Add three drops of sandalwood oil and say:

“This water carries healing from beyond time. It purifies, renews, transforms me.”

Gently anoint your forehead, throat, and heart with the water.

4. Release Writing

Write down all you wish to let go of — old wounds, fears, limiting beliefs. Be honest. Then burn the paper safely or bury it in the earth.

5. Lapis Lazuli Meditation

Hold the stone in your hands, close your eyes, and connect with the wisdom of Goddess Isis. Repeat the following mantra three times:

“I am aligned with the heavens.My heart is pure, my mind is clear, my spirit is eternal.”

🌌 Closing

Before extinguishing the candle, recall your intention.

Offer gratitude.

Sit quietly under the moonlight or drink a soothing tea to seal the energy.

Why an Egyptian Ritual?

Ancient Egyptian wisdom was deeply attuned to the cycles of nature. Each full moon was a sacred reminder of life’s eternal flow. This night is not only about releasing — it’s a return to your true self.
