Looking Ahead
The dawn of the ninth day finds us having reflected on the past, opening up to our home and family, cleansed, and having embraced the the natural world - now, as the Sun grows stronger and there is more light, it’s time to look ahead.
This day is dedicated to preparing for what will come. The past has been honored, negative energy has been banished, and we are cleansed and ready for a new beginning. This is a great time to focus on your goals for the new year - consider setting a new year’s resolution and thinking of dreams to pursue. There is a whole new year full of potential coming, and right now the doors of opportunity are wide open!
Setting Goals
There are many ways you might set goals and even more ways to begin manifesting those desires. As a practitioner of magick, you have everything you need to begin bringing those dreams into reality!
Consider making a wish box, designing a manifestation mood board, casting wish granting spells, and journaling to help begin making 2026 a year of dreams coming true.
Want to celebrate? Here are a few spells and other ways to honor the energies of the day.
