May Full Moon Ritual to Release Fear + Witchy Challenge
If you’ve been feeling that tension between where you are and where you know you’re meant to be… you’re not imagining it.
This May Full Moon, also known as the Flower Moon, is a powerful time for release. It’s perfect for full moon rituals, simple spells, and letting go of fear.
After the April Full Moon challenge, where we focused on self love, I realized something. It’s not that I don’t know how to love myself. It’s that fear keeps pulling me out of it.
Showing up for a few days in a row, staying connected to the ritual, and being in a space with other witches and spiritual people made it really clear. It’s time to let those old beliefs go. So instead of shutting down, I stayed open. I aligned my thoughts with what I actually want. I set better boundaries.
And honestly, the message was clear. It’s time to release the fear.
So for this May Full Moon, during Beltane, we’re doing exactly that. I’m bringing you another coven-style challenge inside our online witchy community. It’s simple, grounded, and something you can actually stick with.
We’re choosing to release fear and move toward our highest timeline.
You in? Keep reading or jump straight into the challenge.

Why This May Full Moon Is So Powerful for Rituals and Releasing Fear
The May Full Moon, also known as the Flower Moon, marks a moment of growth, expansion, and finally seeing what’s been building beneath the surface.
But this year hits differently.
We’ll be headed towards working with a Blue Moon on May 31 2026, which is going to pay the way to amplify everything: Your intentions, your patterns, and the shifts you’ve been avoiding.
Now add in the fiery energy of Beltane.
This is fire energy. Life force. Creation.
Not just reflection… action. This is a turning point, should you let it become on.
The Energy at Play
Beltane — passion, desire, initiation
Flower Moon — growth, visibility, blooming
Blue Moon — amplification, second chances, transformation
Together, this energy pushes you to move.
Not perfectly. Just differently.
If you’ve been feeling the nudge to stop playing small or finally face what’s been holding you back, this is why.
This is the moment to work with the magick that the universe is giving us.
How this Online Witchy Community Challenge Works
We’re starting on May 1st (Full Moon + Beltane). This is a 7-day ritual challenge that’s simple, grounded, and actually doable.
Minus the main ritual, each practice takes only 3-5 minutes a day, so you can stay consistent without overthinking it.
Step 1: Watch the YouTube Video
Start here. I’m going to demonstrate how I bless moon water so you can get a feel for my energy, how to perform a simple ritual, and how we are going to move through the challenge.
>>>Video will be posted this Saturday! 4/25
Step 2: Join the Instagram Chat
This is where the community lives! Share your wins, ask questions, or just stay connected to your moon fam. Each day of the challenge we'll encourage discussion!
Step 3: Follow the Daily Rituals
Day 1–7: Keep up with your daily rituals+ reflection. You don't have to show up perfectly, but I ask that you try your best to show up in some capacity every day for the chat when we are doing the challenge.
After: Live your life, but stay aware of the fears you’re releasing and how you’re choosing differently. The chat will remain open for general witchy talk, sharing wins, memes, banter etc, but during this phase you don't have to stay as committed to the group chat (unless you want to).
Step 4: Return for the Blue Moon
To keep things a little more interesting, I'm going to keep the group chat open, and on May 31st, we’ll come back together for another round of ritual, reflection, and integration. I'm thinking this time it will be an easy three day challenge.
Ideally, we've released enough fear that we will be be moving towards a beautiful ritual to dream bigger.
Seeing this late? You can join the chat at any time, but the first 7 days and are where the energy is strongest and most participation is encouraged.
5-Day May Full Moon Ritual Challenge: Release Fear
We’re keeping this simple.
One main ritual, supported by small daily practices to keep you connected to releasing fear.
It’s meant to stretch you a little, but still feel doable. I promise, these are easy rituals and spells.
I’ve found that 1–5 minutes of intentional connection each day is often more powerful than one long ritual you can’t sustain. We're creating habits here and changing our lives. Commit to the challenge.
Day 1: Moon Water Ritual
Create your moon water under the Full Moon and set your intention for release. Make enough to last 5 days, as you’ll be using it each day to wash your hands and symbolically release fear.
Take a moment to slow down and offer a blessing over your water:
"May this blessed water hold my intention to release fear. May it cleanse what I am ready to loosen, soften, and put away, to rest. May it meet me with gentleness as I finally release it, without force, without rush.
As I stand here in the crossroads, between who I was and who I am becoming, may I have the courage to choose my path with aligned intention. Even when the road is unclear, may I trust what is quietly moving me forward.
May this water return me to my breath, to the steady rhythm of my body and the earth beneath my feet, to the deeper fire within me that cannot be ignored.
May it cleanse what feels heavy, and clear all which lingers just beneath the surface.
May it create space for clarity, courage, and passion to rise. May I walk forward with courage, grounded in my own power guided by Spirit.
I vow to stay rooted, present, and connected to the Divine in every step through the unknown, through the unseen, through the mysteries that are unfolding before me, and into the endless possibilities which await.
I shall use this power to free myself, and to advocate for others who are still finding their voice. May I never forget who I am as I walk this path may I never forget who I am as I walk this path and trust myself every step of the way"
Ase, Amen, Blessed Be.
Reflect:What fear have I been avoiding, and what is it asking me to finally face?
I personally plan to start my day by washing my hands with my moon water and repeating my mantra. It helps me drop into the right headspace. But if it feels better to do it as a ritual later in the day, that’s perfect too.
Day 2: Nervous System Ritual
This is an easy one yet so powerful. We can’t move out of fear if the body still feels unsafe.
Wash your hands with your moon water, slowly and with intention. Let this be a reset and a time to reconnect with the beautiful energy you created for yourself
Return to your breath:
Inhale 4
Hold 4
Exhale 4
Hold 4
Repeat for a few rounds. Let your body settle as you feel the shift. Remember this breathing technique for times of anxiety, fear, paralysis, etc. This box breathing technique is something I return to over and over again along with these mantras.
Say:“I am safe. I am grounded. I am fearless.”
Reflect: If I truly trusted that I am safe, what would I allow myself to do differently today?
Day 3: Courage Ritual
Wash your hands with your moon water, remind yourself that you are washing away the energy of fear as you're stepping into more courage.
Say out loud:“I feel ___, and I choose ___ instead.”
Then, when the opportunity presents itself, take one small action that feels a little scary but aligned. Send the message. Speak up for yourself, or someone else. Share the idea. Take the step you’ve been avoiding to move forward!
Stay with the feeling instead of avoiding it, and when the opportunity shows up, take that step. If for some reason you can't make that step today, then do so by the end of the month. Make that vow to yourself… and declare it your moon fam in the chat. By the end of this month, you move. Keep it simple. Let it be real.
Reflect: Where am I being invited to show up more honestly in my life?
Day 4: Empowerment Ritual
Wash your hands with your moon water.
Say: “My voice matters. My energy has impact.”
Then choose one intentional action to empower someone else: In person, on the phone, or through a message.
Offer encouragement
Support someone’s work
Speak up for someone
Acknowledge someone’s strength
Magick lives in these small, real moments. See what opportunities arise throughout your day, you may be surprised how your day will unfold. As you empower others, notice how it strengthens your own voice.
Reflect: How does using my voice for others deepen my trust in myself?
Day 5: Release Ritual
Final wash with your moon water. Move slowly and let this feel intentional. Wash every crevice of your hands and make it ceremonial.
Write down what you’re ready to release. Hold the paper in your hands and bring it to your heart. Take some deep breaths and let yourself feel what you’re letting go of. More important feel the energy of what you're bringing in and how your life and actions will feel in that moment.
Then safely burn or tear the paper.
As you release it, say:
I release fear.
I let it go with intention.
No more shrinking.
No more holding back.
I do not dim my light.
I stand fully in who I’m becoming.
I step into my power — grounded, open, and sure.
I move forward with quiet confidence.
Even in the unknown, I trust the path unfolding beneath me.
I open myself to Spirit.
I soften. I receive. I follow. I trust.
I move as my most confident self.”
Repeat it once more, slower this time. Let each line land. Feel the shift in your body.
Afterward, rinse your hands one final time with your moon water, sealing the release.
Reflect: What am I ready to release so I can fully step into what’s next?
This is your invitation to stop letting fear quietly lead your life.
This takes less than 5 minutes a day.
The Energy We’re Working With
This isn’t about being fearless overnight. Full moon rituals like this aren’t about perfection. They’re about showing up consistently and allowing small shifts to build real change over time. The magick is what happens when you show up in every day live.
This is about becoming someone who feels fear and still chooses differently. That’s the work.That’s the shift.
And if you’re here, you’re not here by accident. Something in you is ready. So let’s stop waiting, stop overthinking, and actually move with it.
It’s time to show up. It’s time to gather. Let’s do this together. I promise you, this challenge is easier than you think. It's tome to release fear and make yourself a priority.
