my unpopular Catholic opinion is that while praying the rosary is of course wonderful, it is at the end of the day a personal devotion and may not be a great fit for everyone. it's kinda treated as the devout person's staple prayer, with the unflattering assumption that anyone who doesn't pray it often is less pious than those who do.
the rosary is not a requirement for sanctification and there are many, many other personal devotions through which someone can pursue a prayerful relationship with God. we all gravitate toward different styles of prayer, and that's okay.

My dear, a full moon is coming, any rituals you can recommend for us?? 💘
I love full moons! This is a time every month where we can close out another moon cycle and what's no longer serving us. We can also manifest new possibilities because the moon is in its most powerful phase, and that energy lingers two days before and two days after each full moon.
This is a great time to:
🔮 Charge crystals under the moonlight.
🕯️ Practice some major spell work with candle magic.
🛀 Take a cleansing bath with your favorite salts and oils.
🧘 Meditate under the moonlight.
📜 Set new intentions you wish to manifest.
🚪 Close the door on what's no longer serving you.
💧 Collect moon water by filling up jars or glasses with water and setting them under the moonlight (a windowsill if you don't have jars is preferable, and if you do have jars, you can set them outside with the lids on them so no insects get inside).
✍️ Lastly, write down what you need to release on a piece of paper. Fold the paper away from you, turn counterclockwise, then fold away again. Repeat for a total of three times. You can burn this paper to release the energy, then scatter the ashes outside.
🌕 The full moon heightens our intuition, third eye, and psychic powers. It can also heighten our emotions, so be extra vigilant during this time to avoid alcohol, losing control of your emotions, or making impulsive decisions. Wait it out a couple of days, until the moon's energy has waned.

Moon Magick
This is quite a personal piece for me. With how wild things have been and continue to develop, I have put a lot more focus into finding ways to actually meditate and find more mental and physical relaxation. It isn't easy, BUT I have started to find some visualizations that I really enjoy AND they inspire a some artwork! So here is the first one! I love this relaxation/meditation technique.
