A little magic for the new year.
There's magic in the air, can you feel it?
I know that many people see New Year’s day as just another day and I understand that, but I always feel like there's something magical about it.
The air is filled with optimism and possibility. It's a chance to reflect reset, and start retelling your story your way.
Here are a few things I like to do to embrace the magic of the day. You don't have to be or identify as a witch to do any of these, magic is in and around us all.
The universe gives you more of what you're grateful for, and what you focus on, so it's the perfect time to write a gratitude list.
New year is traditionally a time for setting goals and intentions. This year, in numerology, is an 8 year ruled by Saturn.
It's a year of power, manifesting magic, karma, and reaping what you sow. Set goals and intentions knowing that if you focus on these goals and intentions Saturn will reward you.
New year’s day is a perfect time to release any old energy, anything that no longer serves you well, so why not burn some incense ~ sage, palo santa, Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood, Lavendar or Cedar are good for cleansing and purification.
Cinnamon attracts prosperity so the first day of the month, especially January, is a good time for Cinnamon throwing. Take a pinch or two of Cinnamon, stand outside your front door looking into your home, and throw the Cinnamon inside, taking care not to get it in your eyes, or your pet's eyes. While you're at it why not throw some money in too to invite money into your home.
Why not light a candle, white or pink for peace and love, and say a prayer, or make a wish to whoever or whatever you believe in, for a little more love, peace and harmony in the world.
Happy new year, and many blessings x
