A few weeks ago I received this comment from a reader, Angelina:
"I have no clue what to do for my birthday this year, I'm a little out of practice but I know I want to do something special and magical. Do you have any ideas for me?"
She then went on to describe how she fell out of practice and is trying to get back on the right path for her.
I thought up a few ways for Angelina to celebrate her birthday in a witchy fashion [specifically relating to reaffirming her faith and celebrating the Spring Equinox] and today I'm sharing them with you!
☆ Reaffirm your dedication to your Craft. You can do a simple dedication page in your BoS, or a more elaborate ritual celebrating the Goddess.
☆ Bless a lovely piece of jewelery or a crystal that you can carry around with you. Imbue it with qualities of love and light.
☆ Read your cards [or swing your pendulum, or read your tea leaves, or whichever your favoured form of divination is] to see what the coming year has in store for you.
☆ Manifest! Create a list of all the things you'd love to draw into your life this year. I like to keep my 'wishes' in a little box I call my wish box, but you can jot yours down in your BoS, on a strip of paper pinned to the wall, or even in your phone. Just remember to look at it every so often to remind yourself of your dreams.
☆ If you haven't found 'im yet, find your spirit guide! I like to meditate outdoors and ask for my spirit guide to appear to me. When I was younger, dragonflies & butterflies were my guides. A few years ago I met the Raven and he's been with me ever since. A spirit guide is a lovely ally to have at your side.
☆ Use the energies of the Spring Equinox to start planning your garden. I personally love the idea of using a plant to 'grow' my magick. Simply choose a seed [it can correspond with your theme, or it can be whatever you have on hand], cast your spell, and then plant the seed. Your magick will grow as the plant grows.
☆ Banish your fears & bad habits. I like to do this in the simplest way possible - Write a negative quality on a piece of paper and burn it, either in a cauldron or a bonfire.
☆ Make a list of witchy goals you'd like to achieve before your next birthday. I'm big on goal-making! Maybe you'd like to learn how to read tea leaves, or harvest and dry your herbs this Fall, or attend a Pagan festival. Write 'em down and make them happen! [This also ties in with 'manifesting'! Energy flows where attention goes.]
