In order to participate in a Full Moon Fire Magic Ceremony, you will need to prepare a petition paper. A petition paper is similar to a prayer - it is your request to the Universe. Taking care in preparing your petition paper will help you further define what it is you are asking for, and will create a more powerful outcome. Please also visit MONA's Magic Guidelines here.  

How to Write a Petition Paper

1. Reflect on what you desire to bring into your life.
2. Focus on a particular goal for each ritual.
3. Get a piece of paper free of dye - a square cut from a brown paper bag works well.
4. Write your request on the paper in ink. 
5. Phrase your request in the present tense, as though your wish has already been granted. For example, don't write, "I will get a new job," but instead, "I have a new job."
6. Emphasize the feeling you desire and let the Universe determine how to give it you. So rather than asking for a particular job or for a specific person to fall in love with you, focus on the feeling of abundance or the feeling of true love. 
7. Include phrases of gratitude. 
8. Add an exclamatory such as, "So mote it be!", "Amen!", or "OM!"
9. Add drawings or symbols that add emphasis to your intent. For example, for a money spell draw dollar signs, or for love draw hearts. 
10. Sign your name on the paper.
11. Fold the paper twice. 
12. Do not share your paper or its contents with anyone.
