Selenodynamic™️ (adj.)
Rootlight Rituals teas are Selenodynamic ™️: blended and blessed in harmony with the phases of the moon. Each batch is created at the moment that reflects its character - New Moon, Waxing, Full, or Waning - so that every cup carries not only the essence of the herbs, but also the rhythm of the skies.

Mission statement
Can I drink the teas outside their moon phase?
Since the earliest days of human life, the moon has been our oldest clock. Long before calendars and clocks, people measured time by her waxing and waning light.
Farmers sowed their seeds and gathered their harvests according to her phases.
Women marked the rhythm of their own bodies against her twenty-eight-day cycle, and in many cultures the moon was revered as a goddess of fertility, birth, and renewal.
The pull of the moon shapes the tides, guiding fishers and coastal dwellers, while oysters and other sea creatures still open and close in time with her light.
Storytellers and poets wove myths around her changing face, seeing in her both constancy and change.
Across the world, rituals, festivals, and daily lives have been attuned to her rhythm, making the moon not only a celestial body but a companion in the shaping of culture, survival, and spirit.
Most “moon teas” on the market are inspired by lunar imagery - they carry names like Full Moon Blend or New Moon Tea and suggest you sip them under the stars. Others, like rare biodynamic harvests, are plucked only on a single full moon night each year.
At Rootlight Rituals, we take a different path. Our teas are Selenodynamic ™️. Not only are they themed around the phases of the moon, they are made in rhythm with the moon itself. Each blend is created and blessed at the phase it belongs to:
-
New Moon – Begin Again is blended in the dark stillness of the new moon.
-
Waxing Moon – Grow is mixed while the moon is rising, gathering strength.
-
Full Moon – Illuminate is crafted in the moon’s brightest light.
-
Waning Moon – Let Go is made as the moon recedes, releasing what is no longer needed.
This practice brings an extra layer of meaning and intention to each cup. When you drink Rootlight Rituals tea, you’re not only tasting herbs - you’re connecting to the rhythm of the moon.
At Rootlight Rituals, we craft teas in harmony with the moon. Each blend is prepared only during its rightful lunar phase - New, Waxing, Full, or Waning - to honour the cycle of renewal, growth, illumination, and release.
By making in rhythm with the cosmos, our teas carry the energies of the moment they were born, infusing each cup with more than flavour: a ritual connection to time itself. Every batch is small, exclusive, and unique to its cycle - once it is gone, it belongs to history, just as each moon phase passes into memory.
At Rootlight Rituals, we honour the ancient bond between people and the moon. For thousands of years, farmers, healers, and storytellers have looked to the moon’s cycles for guidance - planting with the waxing light, harvesting under the full glow, and releasing during the waning dark.
Our teas are an invitation to pause with the cosmos, to taste the season of the sky, and to join a tradition as old as humanity itself.
Once a batch has passed, like the moon itself, it will not return until the cycle comes round again.
Yes. Each Rootlight Rituals blend is crafted in rhythm with its moon phase, but you can drink them whenever you feel called. The moon gives us the rhythm of creation - you set the rhythm of enjoyment.

New Moon – Begin Again
Blended at the dark of the moon, this tea supports new starts, clarity, and fresh energy. Sip it at the new moon for ritual power, or any time you need to reset and begin again.
-
Waxing Moon – Grow
Created as the moon gathers light, this blend carries the energy of growth and expansion. Perfect during the waxing phase, or whenever you want to build momentum, focus, or confidence.
-
Full Moon – Illuminate
Crafted under the full moon’s light, this tea shines with abundance and illumination. Drink it at the full moon for celebration and ritual, or any time you want to feel clear, connected, and uplifted.
-
Waning Moon – Let Go
Made as the moon recedes, this blend holds the energy of release and rest. Ideal during the waning moon, but also whenever you need to unwind, surrender, or let something go.
Each pouch carries the intention of the phase in which it was made. You can align your cup with the moon above, or simply choose the blend that matches your mood, your need, or the moment.
