02/22/2022
Today, 2/22/22, the day before my birthday- is a very powerful numerical influence on the intentions you may set for the future. I lit my cream taper candle, cleaned out my miniature cauldron from the rose hips I keep inside of it, and broke out a large bay leaf. On the leaf I transcribed “believe in your ability”, and below that I wrote, “be strong, healthy, and smart”.
I asked the sun to keep me warm.
I asked for the moon to watch over me.
I asked for the earth to guide me,
For the trees to listen to me,
For the wind to whisper to me.
I burned the bay leaf- visualizing the growth and success I wish for this year, and for my mind to be filled with wisdom- my heart to be not as easily broken- and for my body to be filled with nutrients.
I collected the ashes in my cauldron and carefully added each piece into the bottle I keep all my past bay leaf spells. I allowed myself to keep a quiet mind while I returned my tools back to my altar and breathed deeply while I rang a ceremonial bell to strengthen my intention and send it out into the universe.
Licking my thumb and index finger of my dominant hand, I snuffed out the candle to complete my ritual. No fear, only calm assertiveness.
I feel good.
If it comes naturally, you have to be doing something right.
