10 Magickal New Month Rituals for Business Owners

The first day of a new month is a soft reset button and portal into the next chapter of your life & business. A opportunity to clear away the energy of the past few weeks and set new intentions as well as goals. Across cultures and traditions, people have honored new beginnings whether its a month, moon, or quarter with rituals and spells for cleansing, protecting, and manifesting.🔮 But these practices don’t have to be complicated. In fact, the most magical ones are often the simplest such as blowing cinnamon through your front door for abundance like you've seen trending on TikTok!

Here are ten of my favorite new month rituals perfect for baby witches and beginners to refresh your space, shield your energy, and attract abundance into your business. Try one or let them flow together into your own monthly practice! And if you’d like to see me walk through them step by step, you can cozy up with my full video on YouTube below 🍂

New Month Cleansing Rituals

Cleaning with Essential Oils for Energy Cleansing

Essential oils carry more than just a lovely scent—they’re infused with plant wisdom and energy. Lemon and orange invite positivity, lavender soothes stress, rosemary is known for mental clarity, and everyone on TikTok loves blowing cinnamon through their doors for abundance. When you add these oils into your cleaning, you’re not just dusking your desk, you’re shifting the energy of your whole space!

Mix a few drops of your chosen oil with water and vinegar in a spray bottle, then wipe down your counters, windows, and workspace. As you clean, visualize last month’s worries dissolving and your intentions infusing into the space instead.

Burn Incense to Clear Stagnant Energy

Burning incense or herbs has been used for centuries in countless traditions to shift energy and create sacred space. Frankincense invites peace, sandalwood grounds the space, and sage is known for its deep-clearing properties.

(side note: white sage or "smudging" is a closed practice. Only use it if appropriate for you)

Light your herbs or incense, then walk slowly through your home counter-clockwise, letting the smoke drift into corners and doorways. As the air fills with fragrance, imagine stagnant energy lifting away. But don't forget to keep a window cracked so everything heavy has a way out!

Protection Spells for Your Home & Office

Drawing Sigils on Your Front Door

Sigils are symbolic drawings that hold your intention. They’ve been used in magical traditions for centuries to protect, empower, and bless spaces. Think of them as little energetic seals that guard your threshold.

Use chalk, oil, or even your fingertip dipped in moon water to draw your chosen sigil on the front door. Personally, I draw a money sign, "X", and smiley face on my door every month to attract abundance, protect myself from haters, and invite in happiness to my business. Or create your own using the guide above! This acts not just as a symbol of your intention, but a reminder daily of what you are allowing and releasing.

Sprinkling Salt at the Threshold

Salt is one of the most ancient tools of protection and easiest spell ingredient to find in your spice cabinet. Across cultures, it’s been used to purify spaces and ward off unwanted energies. It’s simple, effective, and always within reach.

Sprinkle a small line of salt at the base of your front door or across the threshold of your office. As you do, set the intention that only love, light, and good energy may enter. Refresh the line monthly or sweep it away when it feels complete.

Sweeping with a Cinnamon Broom for Protection & Prosperity

Cinnamon is fiery, protective, and abundant—it’s long been used in spellwork to attract blessings while keeping negativity at bay. A cinnamon broom combines that spice’s energy with the symbolic act of sweeping away what no longer serves.

At the start of the month, take your cinnamon broom and sweep your entryway or the main rooms of your home. Imagine each stroke clearing away lingering negativity while drawing in warmth, safety, and prosperity. Leave the broom upside down near the front door as a quiet guardian for the month ahead.

Attraction Rituals for Abundace & Growth

Blowing Cinnamon Spell for Money (aka the viral TikTok "trend")

Cinnamon has always been tied to prosperity and abundance. The tradition of blowing cinnamon through your doorway on the first day of the month has become popular because it’s quick, powerful, and delightfully delicious smell lingering in the air

On the morning of the first, take a pinch of ground cinnamon in your palm. Stand at your front door, speak your intention for abundance, and blow the cinnamon inward—welcoming prosperity into your home and business!

Tending to Plant Magick for Growth

Plants embody growth abundance. They root, thrive, and expand—mirroring the energy we hope to cultivate in our own lives. Herbs like basil are tied to prosperity, while rosemary carries protective qualities, but any plant - even beginner friendly ones like pothos - can be used for plant magick.

Simply name your plant after your business or one of your goals. As you care for them and watch them grow, imagine your intentions doing the same. For a bit of extra magic, water with your moon water or place in the southwest corner of your office aka the wealth corner in Fung Shui to boost your ritual.

Crafting a Business Altar for Success

Altars are concentrated spaces of intention. By dedicating a small spot to your business or studio, you create a physical reminder of your goals and intentions for the month.

Choose a corner of your desk or shelf and place symbols of prosperity—like a candle, a crystal, a meaningful charm, or even a stack of coins. Refresh it each month with objects that align with your current goals, allowing it to evolve as your business does. You can see mine for inspo in the video above!

Writing Intentions as Spells

Writing down your desires is a form of spellwork—your words hold power. By naming your intentions, you’re bringing them into form and inviting the universe to meet you halfway!

On the first of the month, journal a few intentions and goals for the month ahead. Personally, I like to focus on the habits I want to embody the next few weeks so every day I am reminded of the business owner and person I am becoming. Keep your words somewhere visible, or fold them into your altar as a reminder of the energy you’re cultivating.

Pulling Tarot Cards for Monthly Guidance

Tarot has been used for centuries as a mirror of the soul. Rather than predicting the future, the cards reveal themes and guidance that help you step into a new cycle with clarity.

Shuffle your deck and pull one to three cards on the first of the month. Ask: What energy should I focus on? What am I releasing? What am I inviting in? Journal about the cards’ messages and let them shape your intentions for the weeks ahead.
