I feel that the month of February is all about love. Every where you go there are hearts all around. This month has always been a special month for me. My family is full of Aquarius’s. My beautiful mother was born on Valentines Day. My only son was born on February 15. My grandmother and cousin were born on February 9th, and I was born on February 6th. This year for my birthday I am going to create a self-love jar. I haven’t created one in a few years and feel it’s time to give myself some love. I decided to share because we all could use some self-love and what better time then the month of February!
I found this on a website at https://countryheartandhome.com/ I changed a few things in the ingredients with what I have on hand.
Glass Jar with lid
Brown sugar – to add a little sweetness (I think we all need to be a little sweeter to ourselves).
Rose petals – not only good for self- love but attracting things to you.
Pink Himalayan Salt – Salt is known for its protective and purifying nature.
Lavender – calming and is great for heightening awareness. Also, to rid anxiety.
Hibiscus Flowers – for attraction and helping with dreams.
Rosemary - Stops gossip and is great for the memory.
Bay Leaves – Write your intentions or mantra on the leaves (I am strong, I am beautiful etc).
Cinnamon – perfect for getting rid of negative energy and ‘warming up’ your own power.
Rose Quartz – to help open your heart and create feelings of peace.
Pink Candle – To seal the jar.
Light some incense and take a few deep breaths before placing all your items into a jar. The size will depend on how powerful you want it or if you want to carry it with you.
As you add each item say either out loud or to yourself what you hope to gain or are wanting from the item.
‘I add this lavender to help ease my anxiety and give me a sense of calm’
With the bay leaves I like to use a permanent marker and write clear directions.
I AM STRONG
I LOVE MY BODY
This sets the intention solidly and you are not asking for permission. The words are declaring that you have got this and it is true!
After all of the items have been added you need to seal the spell. Light the candle and allow the wax to drip down the sides of the jar/bottle to form a wax seal. While still wet I like to place the crystal, in this case rose quartz, into the wax.
Hold the jar in your hands and feel the positivity you just created. Place onto your alter or work desk where you will see it regularly. When you feel the need for a little pick me up, hold it and feel the good vibes flow.
This is going to be my ritual for Tuesday and I may do it every year on my birthday. We all need more self-love.
Sending love and light to all you beautiful witches,
Ostara
bottle.
