DOORSTEP MONEY RITUAL

Many people have feelings of shame and guilt surrounding money and asking for money. Terms like abundance and prosperity land more softly on the ego than "money." However, it is important in ritual and spellwork to be clear about your wants and intentions.

• Point your wand or athame at the jar, sending power as you say:

By the power of the Lady and Lord,

By the power of my will and word,

Money follow where you are,

Money blessings at my door,

So mote it be.

• When the jar has cooled to the touch, seal the lid tightly.

AROMATHERAPY: 9 TIPS FOR AROMATHERAPY NEWBIES

I remember when I first discovered aromatherapy several years ago. I was fascinated by essential oils and excited to try using them. Looking back, I realize I should have done a bit more research before diving into aromatherapy. I offer you the advice I wish I’d had when I was an aromatherapy novice:

1. Buy One or Two Aromatherapy Books: Choose just one or two books to start your aromatherapy library. Select books that are general resources, which will give you some basic information and help you discover the areas in which you have the most interest. 

2.  Join Aromatherapy Discussion Forums: Wellness Uprising facilitates the Powerful Rituals & Magick Facebook Group. Instagram pages, Facebook Groups and other forums are great resources for aromatherapy newbies. Read past discussions, ask questions, and learn from others.

3. Choose Five or Ten Essential Oils to Start: Though you may be tempted to buy more, try to begin with just five or ten different essential oils. Essential oils can be quite expensive, so you may want to experiment with a few at first and then invest in more if you decide to pursue aromatherapy further.

4. Make Sure to Buy 100%, Pure, Unadulterated Essential Oils: When you buy essential oils, choose a well-known and reputable manufacturer. Synthetic, fragrance, and perfume oils are not essential oils; they contain man-made chemicals and have no aromatherapeutic value.

5. Buy at Least One Carrier Oil: For nearly all topical aromatherapy applications, you will need to dilute essential oils into a carrier oil. Good all-purpose carrier oils include sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, and grapeseed oil. Buy cosmetic grade carrier oils, and use only a few drops of essential oil(s) per ounce of carrier oil.

6. Store Your Oils Properly: Essential oils should be stored only in dark glass containers. Since essential oils are volatile, keep the lids tightly closed. Essential oils and carrier oils should be stored away from heat and light. Carrier oils will go rancid eventually, so it's best to buy smaller quantities.

7.  Learn How to Do a Patch Test: Essential oils can cause adverse reactions, due to allergy or due to sensitization over time. A patch test helps to determine whether you might react to a particular essential oil. Learn how to perform a skin patch test on yourself with each new oil you want to use topically.

8.  Don't Use Aromatherapy with Young Children or Pets: Until you are thoroughly familiar with essential oils and associated safety issues, don't use them on children or pets, or while pregnant or breastfeeding. Cats, in particular, may be adversely affected by essential oils. Make sure essential oils are kept out of reach of children.

9. Check With Manufacturers Before Ingesting Essential Oils: Though you will read conflicting information about taking essential oils internally, you should avoid doing this until you contact the manufacturer for safety guidelines. Some essential oils that are fairly safe to use topically may be quite toxic if taken internally. In addition, some essential oils may interact with prescription or over the counter drugs.

As you experiment with and learn more about aromatherapy, you will become more confident using essential oils. There is so much to explore, so be safe and have fun!

RITUAL FOR GETTING RECOGNIZED IN YOUR WORKPLACE

Are you feeling overworked, overlooked and underappreciated at work? Here's a ritual to raise awareness of your value to your employer. Be certain that you are truly worthy of the appreciation you crave because this ritual calls for your superiors to see you for what you really are and what you really do.

ITEMS NEEDED

• Business card of your supervisor, manager or other workplace superior

WHAT TO DO

• Write your name three times over the contact information on the business card.

SPELL TO NAVIGATE UNEXPECTED CHANGE

Whether positive or negative, sudden change can be inconvenient, unsettling and scary. Unexpected change throws us off balance because it disrupts our flow --- energetically and sometimes materially. Yet all change brings with it new possibilities for improved circumstances, no matter how counterintuitive that may seem at the time.

This spell can help you navigate the choppy waters of unexpected change by shifting your perspective on the situation and rebalancing your energy, opening you up to receive unexpected blessings.

ITEMS NEEDED

• 1 orange pillar candle

• Orange or bergamot essentialoil

• Oil burner or diffuser

• Journal or writing paper

WHAT TO DO

• Heat the oil in the burner or disperse int he diffuser, and then sit quietly taking deep breaths with an intention to quiet your mind.

• When you feel grounded and centered, light th epillar andle and begin to freewrite about the situation.

• Start by identifying the changes that has happened, and then write about what you liked about the way things were before.

• Spend some time visualizing what positive developments are possible now that this change has occurred. You don't need to know HOW they may come about --- just open your mind to the potential that this sudden change has made possible. (For example, if you've just lost a job, imagine what new and better opportunities could be coming your way.)

• Be creative and intuitive with your freewriting. Resist the urge to be logical and analytical, which are common knee jerk reactions to sudden change (scrambling to regain control).

• As you write, imagine the candle shining a bright orange light upon you and surrounding you in its energetic field.

• When you're finished, fold up the pages you've written and place them next to the candle. As you do, say the following (or similar words):

Winds of change are the breath of life. I am grounded, centered, and ready for new blessings. So let it be.

• Place the candle in a special place in your home and know that you can light it whenever you need extra support during this time of change.

• When some time has passed and you've adjusted to the change, you may want to revisit your freewriting to see how you have shifted since working this spell.
