My daughter suggested to me the other day that I come up with a spell to help her beat the pre-holiday/wintertime blues. Here's what I came up with - she said it worked beautifully, so I wanted to share it with you.
For this spell you will need:
1 soft yellow or cream colored candle.
Cinnamon - freshly ground is best, but the kind in the jar also works.
1 Shiny new quarter
12 yellow toothpicks
A fuzzy warm sweater or shawl.
Instructions:
Sprinkle the cinnamon on a pretty plate or silver dish. Don't be sparing - use lots! Place the quarter in the center of the plate, and arrange the toothpicks around it to suggest a sun. Wrap yourself up in the sweater or shawl and meditate on sunshine and warm, happy feelings. Tell yourself how wonderful it is to be alive. Feel the blood coursing through you veins.
Now, place the candle on top of your little sun and say these words: "As the sun brings light and life, so does this candle bring happiness and warmth to my heart. As the soft scents of spring bring new life and joy to the earth, so does this cinnamon bring hope and happiness to my soul. As the company of my friends and family brings cheer and love into my life, so does this sweater enfold me in comfort and warmth. With this flame, I re-light the fire of happiness in my heart."
Light the candle and let if burn itself out. If you need to leave the house, it's okay to snuff the flame and then relight it.
Now, go do something to pamper yourself!
Bright Blessings,
Robyn
