- I highly recommend that you get familiar with the outline and content before beginning to create an easy-flowing experience for yourself.
- 1st – Watch both Hello and Welcome and Ritual Burn How To Video before beginning – Both contain some good and important information
- 2nd – Read the How To Prepare and the Sacred Space Sections before to learn how to set up your ritual space
- 3rd – As you work through the experience, listen to the Audios: Cast Your Circle, Soundbath, I Release, Closing Thoughts
Here Is The Flow Of The Ceremony. Allow yourself at minimum, 1 – 1.5 hours:
- Cast Our Circle
- Sound Bath
- I Release Meditation
- Write
- Burn
- The Full Playlist can be found on YouTube HERE
- The Spotify Playlist can be found HERE
- Beeswax candle (or a candle of your choice). Beeswax has a better burn and is always my preference.
- Smudge, salt, or dried herb of your choice & sacred womb dust (if you have some)
- Stick matches
- Small shell
- A fire-safe plate or bowl to become your ceremony plate moving forward
- Your journal & pen
- A yummy warm libation, such as tea, cacao, or spiced chai
- A tissue…just in case the tears of release want to flow
- Perhaps listen using headphones or use good speakers. I recommend both of them.
- Create a quiet space with uninterrupted surroundings where you can sit with your heart to say thank you, goodbye to what you are releasing, and hello, welcome to what you desire to create for yourself for the coming year.
- Perhaps a dark & cozy room sitting on a comfy floor pillow & soft rug wrapped in a soft blanket with incense burning and a candle lit.
- Bring in things that ignite your senses. Taste, touch, smell, visual, sound.
- Perhaps wear some jammies or sweats and fluffy socks or dress in your own personal ceremonial way.
- Consider bathing before or after. Perhaps add some salt and essential oils to your bath.
- Anoint yourself with your favorite essential oil or lotion.
- Invite your crystals, deities, and sacred tools to join you. Your kit included a Goddess Charm. She is perfect for inviting into your altar and using as a talisman. Feel free to wear her and rub to remind you of your ritual desires you will do here.
- Curate your space however you feel most comfortable and sacred.
- Embody your space with love and intention.
I wanted to share some of my favorite music to listen to lightly while in ritual, journaling, bathing, in sacred space etc.
- Turn it on while doing the journaling prompt and burn.
Now it’s time to burn using the method shared in the Ritual Burn How to Video Above.
A note on ritual:
- Rituals do not need to be elaborate and complicated in order to be powerful and cleansing.
- Ritual is a portal to call forth the divine.
- Ritual invokes the energy of sacredness into our regular lives.
- Ritual creates a threshold to step into our true desires.
- Ritual invokes the manifestation, and all is based on intention.
- Ritual infuses magick into the creation of our desire
If you are doing this in a circle with others, take a few moments for each to share and allow others to witness you and your desires. This will add fuel and alchemy to this vision.
For this burning, your focus is on this question:
- What do I desire to feel, experience, create, embody, and be held in during this new year?
- What do I really want in life?
- Write these without concern for any potential obstacles or “impossible” scenarios.
- Let’s just believe we would not desire something if it were not possible. So right now, in this moment, anything we desire IS possible. What WE seek is seeking US!
- So, what do I really, really want?
- Write it. Speak it. Walk it. Scream it. Dance it. Move it.
- EXPAND FURTHER
- What (and perhaps who) needs to fall away to support this?
- What would be helpful to bring this forth?
- WHY do I want this?
- This is a very important question to delve deeper into. If you do not know WHY you want something, it can be difficult for the Universe to support you in aligning you with that desire. If you do not know WHY, ask yourself (truth-telling time) IS this something I really, really do want? Is this really someone else’s dream? Is this a dream I have attached to that is really one from long ago and not really what I desire any longer?
- How does it serve me? How does it serve others?
- Write these without concern for any potential obstacles or “impossible” scenarios.
- What do I really want in life?
- Once this is declared, it is important for you to let go of “the how and the when” this will arrive and the exact “what” (sometimes the Universe has a better option for you!); however, it is also important for you to act as if and take conscious steps to align yourself with your desire. Doing nothing from here will not fuel the creation of it.
