mind, body & spirit
is like planting a garden,
if the soil isn't right
nothing will grow.”
~Nikki Rowe
During the last full moon, the Buck Moon,
as summer was at its peak was the time to consider all that has been making me
anxious and blocking me from moving forward. I asked my life-long friend of 36
years and counting to come over during the full moon for us to make spell jars
to help with all my feelings about the pandemic and returning to face-to-face
work, which I absolutely do not want to do. During the last 515+ days, I have
llllooooovvvveeeeeddddd staying home. I have felt safer and more connected than
ever before. While I venture out to old cemeteries that are socially isolated
from humans, and I walk miles away from our home for exercise and renewal, I do
not encounter many people…and I prefer it that way. I think I would make a
pretty good hermit actually.
I don't usually stay up late so 11pm had me tired! |
Anyway, so while the Buck moon
approached, I needed a ritualistic let’s-contain-this-shit moment and spell
jars seemed like the perfect approach. I didn’t want to buy one so I invited
over Babushka (my best friend and I each call one another Babushka). We each
researched and wrote out our spells, and we prepared the ingredients. She also wanted to burn away some worries and
I’m all about fire so we added that too.
I cannot say that all my worries are gone. I don’t think anything has the power to banish that but the ritual formed a connection and the spell jars are beautiful reminders that I need to make my inner-soil right if I plan to bloom
Immensely lovely spell jars. Than you very much for sharing them, about your cherished friendship, and some of the things that are weighing heavily on your mind at present with us, dear heart.

This a beautiful ritual you created. Thank you for sharing. I need to do something right now for me and mine. This seems perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get back to some rituals with others when it is safe here. I have always been a germaphobe and it's possibly what kept me so safe through this!
