I tag many things that have to do with self care on my blog as “self care is magick”. I believe this, wholeheartedly. After all, you are your most important tool. Here’s a little spell to help you with that.
Needed:
(see bottom)
- Celery seed
- Fennel
- Rosemary
- Lavender
- Cloves
- Vanilla
- salt
- Amethyst
- Rose quartz
- Tigers eye
Tools:
- Sealable container
- Wax
- Pink candle (put a notch one centimeter down)
- Black birthday candle
- A list of four things you find beautiful
- Sigils for self love
- Set up everything you normally do before working a spell. Do any grounding or cleansing you feel is needed.
- Pick up the black candle in each of your hands and pour everything that you feel you dislike about yourself into it. Down to the last thing.
- Take a deep breath and light the candle, saying:“as this candle burns away, so do all of my negative thoughts about myself. ”
- Release all of your negative thoughts as the candle burns away.
- When the candle has burned to the point of going out, shake yourself out.
- Pick up the pink candle and light it, saying:“I have things in myself that I can see as beautiful, such as"… say as many things as you can think of
- Put the sigils in the container as you say them
- Once the candle has burned down to the notch, begin to fill your container with the herbs, for every ingredient you put in, state three things that are beautiful about you, that you don’t like. (ex: if you have freckles and don’t like them, say “my freckles are beautiful”)
- Add your crystals. For every crystal you put in, state three things you like about yourself for each. (ex:I just got my hair cut and it looks awesome, or, my makeup looks so good today)
- Seal the container with its top.
- Kiss the side of it, saying:“let me know that I am lovely, for I know no one else like me. In every part of me I know there is beauty, because it is a part of me. I am beautiful because I am astounding. I am beautiful because I am amazing. I am beautiful because I am me, and only I can be myself.”
- Seal the container in wax and place in a place you will see it every day. (ex: hang above your bed, hang in front of a mirror, in front of a computer, etc.)
- every time you see it, say something you enjoy about yourself.
That’s it! At step 12, you’re done with the initial spell! Make sure you’ve cleaned up and snuffed all flames; now go relax, take a nice candle lit bath or drink some tea! Step 13 is very important, don’t feel bad about missing it a few times.
**about the herbs, if you don’t like these, feel free to mix and match what suits you! This is just what I used! Its all behind the intent, you don’t have to use everything!**
