I am going to start a new tradition. The last full moon of the year I am going to make a witch ball for the coming year. I made a witch ball this morning and I am going to charge under the light of the full moon tonight. I also going to do some type of ritual on New Year’s Eve. The witch ball is for Health, Prosperity and Happiness in the new year.
I started out by putting reindeer moss in the ball. The green reminds me of going for a walk in the woods, and it looks beautiful in the ball. I added:
All Spice (Success, luck, courage and abundance)
Basil (Protection, self-love, general success and peace)
Bay Leaves (Abundance, manifesting, success. I also wrote health, prosperity and happiness on the bay leaves)
Oh, this is a wonderful idea! I don’t know that I have enough of them for the year on hand but I like the idea of making one tonight /tomorrow for the full moon!
(edit: sorry literal fever brain, just reread the post and realized you didn’t mean to make one each full moon, just at the last full moon of the year }
Thank you Artemisia. This one is for the entire year of 2024. The last full moon in 2024, I will make my 2025 one. I am going to take everything out of this one and cleanse and reuse the crystals.
Thank you @Artemisia. You can use any crystals you have on hand. I picked out my crystals from my collection before I made the ball and just looked up the properties. I have a lot of amethyst because it’s my birth stone. I am drawn to it. Lol!
What a great idea! And I love how you are going to carry the crystals forward each year for continuity. Very Nice, do you have a place you plan to hang it in the house throughout the year?
Thank you. I was going to seal it with wax on New Years Eve, but it smells so good I want to be able to open it through the year just to smell it. Lol!
This is a wonderful thing to do, @Ostara I love it! It’s a beautiful way to carry hopes, dreams, and positive energy into the new year. Plus, the inspiration you’ve provided to other members of the coven is heartwarming! If I had some witch balls, I would definitely do something like this. Alas, I don’t. Maybe I will find something like that to do for the first Full Moon of the year!
Thank you Megan. It smells amazing! I have never smelled these scents together. I’m not sealing it.
I may burn a candle and and do wax drippings on it, but I want to be able to open it. If I have a bad day, smell my witch ball. Lol. It’s charging under the full moon now.
I think being able to open it and smell it is a great idea. It can help reinforce what those scents and ingredients mean for you in the spell! Dripping wax around the opening, but not on the opening, sounds like a cool way to seal the spell without sealing the ball
@Ostara You’re idea for a yearly tradition/ ritual is fabulous I was planning on making a spell jar for prosperity and abundance. I may follow your idea and do this yearly as well and imbue it with intentions for the new year! Thank you for sharing

Thinking of doing the same if I can find the right crystals (and energy to do it 
)
