I really wanted to do a ritual bath, however it is warm here in Portland and it felt woerd to be running a bath when I had the AC on.
So I made a tea blend for the waxing quarter moon tonight.
I found a cool website that talked about what herbs to use for this moon phase and the moon sign of Virgo.
Thw blend i made is quite spicy and lung clearing which will help since I have bewn having bad allergies.
Here is the blend:
Elchanpange
Lavender
Orange peel
Milky oats
Juniper berries
Dandelion
Ginger
Then I set an intention and lit a new candle at my altar.
The website Worts and Cumming had a simple ritual:
Place a single unlit candle before you on your altar. If you want, you can surround it with herbs, stones, and other objects that will help empower your intention for your goal. Consider what it is you’re hoping to manifest. Connect with the ways that you are being guided towards this goal by your inner knowing, including intuitions and affirmations that this goal is right for you. Begin to raise energy around your goal, imagining what it would feel like and what your life would be like to have accomplished it. When you feel like you’ve raised enough energy around your intention, focus it into the candle before you.
Take a deep breath in and out. Light the candle and speak the following charm three times through:
What was, what is, what shall be
By the light of my wisdom
I flow bright, I flow freeTake a deep breath in, focusing on your goal. Breathe out, feeling the path towards your goal manifesting before you. Speak the charm three more times.
Take another deep breath in and out. Speak the charm a final three times.
Use your hands to wave the light of the candle towards you, bathing yourself in the light of the candle, feeling your inner glow draw itself from deep within yourself to all around you. This is the light which guides you towards your goal.
You can either let the candle burn out completely now or perform this ritual for three more consecutive nights, lighting the same candle each time. You can also spend time each day calling forth your inner brightness to guide you home again and again.
I will do the ritual for next three nights and the website suggests. It was lovely to dk this ritual. I highly recommend it!
