It's the beginning of a new year. Most of us are probably already feeling motivated to set goals and get things done. But some of us are already feeling the drain of so much excess energy. I think it is because we feel bursting with it and deplete it all too fast. Keep in mind to pace yourself with this beautiful energy that you are getting from this new year and new beginning. That is truly key. Stream it out in little rivers instead of a gusher.
For this spell I need some sort of running water. I really want to use ocean water so I have decided to create my own. You can use any form of water though. Simply make do with what you got.
Re-creating Seawater
~Water~
~Sea-Salt~
* I have sea salt under my sink for my fishes so that is what I am using. You can find sea salt at your local grocery store or petstore.
* I am using one cup of water and adding in 1 tbsp of sea salt
* I have some sand that my family and I collected over our travels last summer that I am also adding to this mix. Just 1/2 tsp. of it. We call it the Sand Cove Sand (appropriate right?!) and the area where we got the sand means alot to us so it is very important to add this little bit of magic to my water.
I decided on ocean water as it is in constant motion. It is mysterious and full of surprises, always changing, evolving. It is a powerful source of magic and energy and this is what I want to constantly stream through my life. Ever weaving, ever winding. Tangling into every aspect of my life.
Chose a funky bottle to put it in....or a normal one. Whatever floats your boat. I chose on old maple syrup bottle I have been saving for some reason or another. I knew it would come in handy! and it's glass so that works out even better.
You can add a blessing to this if you choose. I didn't. I held my intention for this water very clear in my thoughts while gathering the materials and mixing them. Which is a major part of Spellwork. Set your bottle with your sea water on a windowsill or outside for 24 hours. You will need the energy of both the moon and the sun for this. Here it is all finished and charged up:
All right now that we have our bottles ready we are set to go for our spell! We have a waxing moon which is perfect for what we need (check out the link for info on moons and Spellwork). The Moon is also a Capricorn Moon (it is not as I write this, but it was for my workings. Check out this link for where the moon is for your own workings.) A Capricorn moon is good for developing strong structure and focusing on traditions, responsibilities and obligations. It is a good time to set boundaries and rules (see perfect!). Use an incense of your choice, something that you especially like and that motivates you. I chose good ole' Nag Champa for this.
As I was looking for ideas for this spell I found an old journal of mine that I had started and discarded a few years back. There was only one page filled out. That one page was a letter to myself on how to start my day with more motivation and less pressure on myself, so I used this as my base. (thank you Universe!)
Light your incense. Find a spot in the centre of your home or an area where you are often in and place your bottle there. This is your visual reminder for your motivation and how important it is to you. Light some candles around the area and find a spot that you can keep your incense near your bottle too. Every morning the first thing you are going to do (yes even before you have coffee or brush your teeth) is go to this place. Light your incense and candles. Take a moment and centre yourself. Focus on you and what you want to achieve for the day. Speak a daily affirmation out loud. "I am motivated right now". Go to where you have a mirror and speak those same words over and over until they resonate within you. Take your time. Enjoy the simple moment of just being you. Leave yesterday in the past. Remember you are the only person putting pressure on yourself. Stop It. Satisfy yourself in the small things of your life. Accept Yourself. Go open your curtains, put on your fav. song list and start your day. Begin yourself everyday.
Take the Challenge to do this every morning for thirteen days.
Peace and Love
The Bone Witch
