Okay beautiful souls…
We have been over a lot over the past 30 days, lets pull it all together and say goodbye to 2025 properly, ready to greet the new year with hope, with courage, with anticipation, with love.
What you need:
2 x candles
Paper and pen
Smudge stick to cleanse negativity
Smudge stick to welcome in all the feel goods
Incense or smudge mix of your preference, I will be using cinnamon for abundance and rose for love
Fire safe container for burning our papers in.
Firstly, cleanse your space using your smudge stick of preference, cleanse the area you will be working in, yourself and your home.
Once you are done, light your first candle and grab your paper and pen, we will be writing down everything we wish to release from the year that was, all hurts, all angers, resentments, perceived failures, arguments, you want to release it, you write it down.
When you have finished, grab a pair of tongs and hold the papers to the candle you have lit, once the flame has caught safely place the burning paper into your fire proof container and watch as the flames take the words you have written, watch the smoke rise and carry them off to the ether… giving thanks all the while for the lessons learned, the growth you have undertaken and once the flames are gone, gently blow out your candle. If you would like to do so, you can bury this candle once it has cooled and return it to the earth.
Now light your second candle and use it to light your palo santo, cleanse yourself, your space and your home with its smoke, keeping in mind your intention for the new year, use your theme word here if you would like to.
Next sit with your next piece of paper and write your dreams and hopes for the next 12 months, write your theme word for 2026 and your why… and again grab tongs, light your paper from you candle, and safely place the burning paper into the fire safe container. Watch as the flames consume your words, watch as the smoke carries your hopes and dreams off the to ether.
Allow this candle to burn itself out completely, safely, and enjoy the rest of your day or evening and have fun releasing 2025 and welcoming 2026!
