here are elemental + simple New Years rituals for ya:
🔥 fire: grab a candle, toothpick & lighter - carve words/symbols you’re calling in, take a deep breath, light it up ✨
🌊 water: grab a sticky note/small paper, write down your intentions, place a glass on it & pour water. speak your intention into water, take a deep breath, and drink it! (option to drink it tomorrow morning)
🌏 earth: speak your intention into your food tonight, and eat it knowing you’re receiving the magic. (a lot of New Year traditions are earthy, Capricorn szn! black eye peas, greens, grapes - whatever feels yummy to you!)
Yesterday, I was standing in front of my altar, looking at my wall.
Recently I was reflecting on my time in update NY 5 years later.
I realized if I wouldn’t have gone there, I wouldn’t have the 2 pieces of art above my altar made by friends.
I wouldn’t have met some of my favorite people.
Hindsight is 2020, perhaps. #wink
But in the midst of it…I was moving through lessons of loss (Saturn in Scorpio)
From death, losing my peace of mind, heartbreak, to social exile, My ‘reputation’ was in flames. #wink
More than anything - I lost myself.
