According to an ancient superstition, if a person makes a secret wish while gazing up at the new moon in August, his or her wish will come true before the end of the year.

On the first night of the new moon,light a white candle. As its falme burns, gaze deeply into it and focus all your thoughts and feelings upon whatever it is that you are strongly wishing to have, to do, or to make happen. Take care, however, not to wish for anything that would directly or indrectly bring harm to , or interfer with the free will of any individual. raise your arms up to the sky with both palms facing up, and say:
GODDESS OF THE NEW MOON FAIR
I ASK THEE HARKEN TO THIS PRAYER.
MAY THAT WHICH I DESIRE BE GRANTED,
WITH INTENT THESE WORDS ARE CHANTED.

now state your wish three times, then say:
THRICE MY RHYMING SPELL IS SPUN
TO MAKE THIS WISH COME TRUE FOR ME.
THANKS I GIVE FOR IT IS DONE,
THIS IS MY WILL,SO MOTE IT BE!
