Autumnal Abundance: An Autumn Spell for Blessings
As we bid farewell to the scorching days of summer and welcome the golden hues of autumn, there's an undeniable magic in the air. Autumn, with its homespun warmth and promises of joy to come, invites us to harness the energy of the season's transformation. It is a season to express gratitude for the bountiful harvest and set intentions for the months ahead. In this blog post, we'll explore a simple yet powerful spell that allows you to connect with the essence of autumn, inviting abundance and warmth into your life.
You Will Need:
A small gold, orange, or yellow candle
A pinch of powdered cinnamon or nutmeg
A small piece of paper and a pen
A heat-resistant dish or bowl
Procedure:
1. Begin by finding a quiet, peaceful space outdoors, or by a window where you can connect with the energy of the autumn season.
2. Light the candle. As you light it, say:
With this flame, I ignite my power
and awaken the helpful spirits around me.
I call on the forces of abundance and harvest;
I summon them to my aid.
3. Write your intentions for abundance and gratitude on piece of paper. Be specific about what you wish to harvest or manifest in your life during this season. Keep it simple and clear. If it helps your focus, you may want to read them out loud in front of the flame.
5. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the paper, symbolizing happiness, warmth and prosperity.
6. Carefully fold the paper and hold it over the flame of the candle. As it begins to burn, say:
As this paper turns to ash and smoke,
I attract the wishes I have spoke.
As the smoke rolls through the air so free,
Let all my wishes come to me.
7. Allow the paper to burn completely in the candle's flame, then gently blow out the candle.
8. Take the ashes and scatter them outside, allowing the wind to carry them away.
9. Close the spell in whatever way you normally do and allow the abundance of your intentions to flow to you.
