Transformation Ritual - A Wise Beginning To The New Path/ The End And Beginning of a Cycle
⭐️At the beginning of every calendar year, we stand at a crossroad. Behind us is the year before, and naturally, as we can't turn back time, that is not an option as a path to take on our journey. The Left Path is the path that allows us to follow the path to its end by way of our routine, comfortable lifestyle. There will be no change in perspective, vibration, or general lifestyle. Many will take this route because it’s easy, familiar, and comfortable.
The Right Path is the path that allows us to raise our vibrations, learn from our mistakes, and make better choices so that we can grow in both the physical and spiritual planes. This ritual is stronger than making resolutions, because we’re not just surface planting an idea. We are delving deep, connecting mind, body, and soul to the energy of the Cosmos and the advice of the Divine. Instilling in ourselves the qualities and habits we need to change.⭐️
Candles (White, Black, and Silver)preferably a silver floating candle
Crystals (Lapis Lazuli, Quartz, Rose Quartz, Fluorite, Smoky Quartz, Pyrite, Amethyst, Selenite, Opal)
Herbs/Minerals (Salt, Black and Red Pepper)
In a quiet environment, set up your altar.
Place the black and white candles down the middle of your altar.
Mix the salt and peppers together in a bowl. Visualize yourself being surrounded by pure white light. It softly radiates from you. It weaves throughout your hair, swirls between your fingers and toes, tightly against your skin. It reaches beneath your skin and attaches itself to your body. Relax and open your mind, this energy acts as a message board. It is where your insightful messages will be engraved and stored.
Place all your crystals around the black candle. This will represent universal energy and the Cosmos.
Either stick the silver candle to the bottom of the bowl with candle adhesive/poster putty and add water, or fill the bowl and add the floating candle. This will represent Divinity, or the Goddess.
Sprinkle salt and pepper mixture around the white candle. Anoint the candle with Crossroads Opener Oil. This will represent you and the projection of self.
Now visualize yourself at the crossroad. Take in your surroundings. What is behind you? Whatever it may be, it is the past. Take a moment to think about the things you wish you would have reacted differently to. Think about the people in your life and how you treated them. Think about how you treated yourself. Push all those thoughts through yourself, then the Cosmos, then to the Goddess.
Reflect on the choices you made that helped you realize you needed to variate from the path you were set on. Look at all your crystals and think of all the properties they carry, the ways they will positively impact your life. Breathe in deeply and watch the glow surrounding you grow brighter. Keep breathing until you are the source of the glow. The focal point of the light should be coming from your third eye region, or the palms of your hands.
In this plane, you will recieve messages from The Divine Source or the Goddess. They are not likely to appear to you all at once, they will be mixture of strong and subtle interventions within your daily life.
Now place yourself back at the crossroad, take a moment to look behind once more and appreciate that fact that you are alive and able to make this decision for yourself. Thank your guides and/or Divine figures for all their help throughout the past year. Take a deep breath, and cast the light over the path behind you. This seals and neutralizes your past, so you are protected from any lingering energies from that time.
Look forward and gaze softly into the right path, take in all that you feel when looking down this path. Align your path with your candles, and draw energy fom the Goddess, through the Cosmos, and finally into yourself. This opens and links you to continually recieve the positive energy and guidance that will help you grow throughout the year.
As you walk down this path, all behind you will be sealed with your past energy. Memories will still evoke strong feelings, but you will be less likely to stagnate in the feelings of the past. As long as you make a strong effort to make this your new life, guidance will be there for you. This is a very active ritual for the mind and soul, and requires your complete dedication to change at whatever pace is neccessary for you as determined between you and your guides/divine figures.
Extinguish the candles, and take the floating candle out of the water*. Close your spell.
*Use this water in a grounding post ritual bath, or consecrate your doors and windows with it.
All the crystals listed are not 100% necessary, they are types that I feel work best in this Ritual.
