Alchemizing the Fire: Using Your 2026 Word of the Year to Rule Your Reality

It’s hard to believe another year has gone by! As we welcome in a new calendar year it’s important to choose your word of the year! If you haven’t already chosen a word of the year now is the time to do it! Choosing a word of the year allows you to look back on your hopes and dreams for the year. You have the chance to set the stage for the year to come and focus on what you need most in your life right now. Your word of the year can help you set goals that share a common theme. Ideally, your word of the year should be something that inspires you to reach your goals, chase your dreams, and drives you to live a fuller life. I truly believe that choosing a word of the year can be one of the most powerful things you can do in terms of goal setting , manifestation, and personal growth when the new year comes around each time.

Why choose a word of the year?

In life, you can’t just wish for your dreams to come true. You need to commit to them, create a plan, and implement a system to make your goals a success. There are countless ways to do this. One that I find to be incredibly useful is to include a New Year’s word to constantly remind me of them and keep them at the forefront of my mind. Choosing a Word of the Year is like picking a theme or central idea you want to focus on for the whole year. It’s a simple way to remind yourself of what’s important and what you want to achieve or change in your life—like having a personal motto or slogan.

When you choose a word, it is usually what you need more of, what you want to focus on, or what you need to improve on. A lot of the time, my word has been blaringly obvious. It helps me gain clarity on my goals, my personal development plan, and stay committed to my goals all year long. This method I have been using for years has now become a cornerstone to the foundation of all my goal setting and manifestation work for each year to come. If all that’s not enough reasons to set a word of the year, I don’t know what is!

How do you choose your word of the year?

Choosing a word of the year doesn’t have to be hard. Your word of the year just needs to provide you with inspiration for the direction you desire this next year to go!

First step is to, reflect on the past year and on the next year ahead. Make sure you look at the highs and the lows of from the past year. Look at what worked and what didn’t. Be authentic and honest with yourself about how the past year truly made you feel. Don’t hide from yourself to try and make yourself feel more accomplished then maybe the last year went as well. But, also don’t let yourself get fixated on the things that didn’t come to fruition through manifestation. Instead be willing to see through your eyes with clarity, the lessons they have taught you as this chapter comes to a close. Below are some of the questions I have used from year to year to pick out my word of the year. Use any of them that speak out to your soul or come up with your very own!

  • What do you want to do or accomplish the most in the next year?
  • What was the overall feel of last year?
  • Is there something you want more of or don’t want in teh next year?
  • How do you want to feel by the end of next year?
  • Is there something important you want more of from the past year?
  • Is there something you cherish you want more of from the past year?
  • What skills did you learn in the past year you want to use in the next one? What new ones would you like to learn?
  • What was the biggest lesson you learned in 2025?
  • What is the biggest lesson you wish to learn in 2026?
  • What core value of yours do yo wish to focus on this next year?
  • What feeling fits the goals of every area of your life?
  • What is the biggest blockage you need to remove in 2026 to manifest your dream life?
  • How do you want to describe your life by the end of 2026?
  • How would you describe the year 2025 in one word by the end of it?
  • What was the best things you manifested in 2025?
  • What is the biggest thing you need in your life to meet all your goals in 2026?
  • What major life changes happened in 2025? What ones do you wish to happen in 2026?
  • What was the greatest challenge you had to overcome in 2025?

Once we have taken the time to sit and reflect with our feelings and thoughts for the past year and then how we want to create the year unfolding ahead. It’s time to sit down and start to get a rough picture of how you want your goals to take shape in the year ahead. This step is crucial. If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s going to be extremely difficult to reflect on your accomplishments and assess if you were successful. While you are doing this make sure to take a close look at each of your goals and try to find any connections between them. If you start to see a link now you may start to see your word of the year start to take form and reveal itself to you. Take a look at some of the categories below to help you start to brainstorm your goals. If you need help to learn more about what goals are you can read my guide about them here.

  • Finance
  • Parenting
  • Relationship(s)
  • Travel
  • Home Improvement
  • Self-Care/ self-love
  • Health

  • Healing journey
  • business
  • hobbies
  • political activism
  • Spiritual well being
  • Learning/knowledge/education
  • family
  • fun
  • cleaning/organization
  • pets

Now that you reflected on your past year, what you want in the next one ahead, and started to shape your goals for the new year. It is time a create a list . Create a list of one words that fit the feeling of the things you have written down. I like to do this brain dump style. How I do this is I read my answers to the question from above. Then without judgement, fear, or trying to control what comes I pick up my pen and just let the words come. I write down every single one that comes. Now, it is time for you to do the same. Don’t judge any of them that come, you never know which one may sneak up and surprise you. Below you will find a list of ALOT but, certainly not all of the words I have had come to me throughout the years. If any of them are glittering to you on this new day as an unknown year unfolds take them and add them to your list as well.

Now that you have this long list of words in front of you it time to narrow down your favorites. However you choose to do this is up to you. Whether you meditate, use a pendulum, simply sit and reflect on them or something else. Narrow it down to a few or handful of your favorites to choose from.

Drum roll…. Now is the time we have been waiting for. It is time to choose the word that you can commit to as the next year unfolds. As you choose your word you need to make sure you have a strong pull to it so, you feel you can truly commit to it. If you can’t commit to focusing on your word, then you won’t live up to your goals for the new year. You won’t make changes or put the effort forward Make sure, that your word just feels like it fits. Some years you’ll need a more active word because you’re in a season of growing. While others will be quieter and slower as you are in a season of reflection and introspection. So, make sure the one it is you choose sings to your soul and is one you can really commit to in the long year ahead.

My 2026 Word of the Year: Sovereignty

After reflecting on the steady foundation of Consistency I built throughout 2025, I felt a new call for the year ahead. The word singing to my soul for 2026 is Sovereignty.

What is Sovereignty? It is the state of being self-governing and independent. To live with sovereignty means to be the ultimate authority in your own life—acting from a place of internal alignment rather than external pressure. It is about owning your space, your choices, and your power.

Alchemizing the Fire of 2026 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle known for its intense momentum, passion, and rapid change. My goal is to use that fiery energy to alchemize the healing and transformation of this past year into true divine sovereignty.

I plan to achieve this by focusing on four core foundations:

  • Who I am: Reconnecting with my authentic identity.
  • What I want: Clarifying my deepest desires without apology.
  • What I know: Trusting my intuition and inner wisdom.
  • The skills I have: Utilizing the tools I’ve spent years mastering to build the life I deserve.

The Power of Living Sovereignly Choosing sovereignty as a guiding light offers profound benefits for our growth:

  • Decisive Boundaries: It empowers you to say “no” to what drains you and “yes” to what fuels you.
  • Inner Authority: You stop seeking external validation and start trusting your own compass.
  • Emotional Freedom: By owning your reactions, you become less susceptible to the whims of the world around you.
  • Radical Responsibility: Sovereignty allows you to take full ownership of your success and your happiness.

As we move into this high-energy year, I am stepping into my own light, fueled by the Fire Horse and anchored by the strength I’ve built.

Why I Chose Sovereignty for 2026

In 2025, my goal was Consistency, and it became the anchor I didn’t know I was going to desperately need. I went into that year thinking consistency was about checking off lists; I didn’t realize it would be the lifeline that kept me afloat during the most jarring spiritual awakening of my life.

Turning 33 and moving through my “Christ Year” brought a Kundalini rising that stripped me to my core. I was rebuilt in ways I never saw coming—parts of me died so that new versions of me could be born. This transformation happened while I was navigating the “absolute chaos” of reality: parenting and homeschooling a gifted child, working multiple jobs, running my business, and holding up my end of a marriage that, for the first time, wasn’t the solid rock I usually lean on.

Because I committed to consistency, I learned to ride those waves. I found the grace to listen to my intuition, stepping back for self-care when the energy was too much, which actually allowed me to surpass the goals I had set for myself. Consistency gave me the resilience to show up for my son, my passion, and my business even when I felt I had nothing left.

From Resilience to Royalty

Now, that consistency has led me to this moment. I am no longer just “showing up”—I am ready to rule.

I chose Sovereignty for 2026 because I am done hiding my magic. The healing and the “stripping down” of the past year have prepared me to step onto my own throne. Sovereignty is about reclaiming the power I’ve been building and allowing it to be seen in a way that no longer seeks permission or fears being “too much.”

In 2026, I am committing to:

  • Owning My Magic: Stepping fully into my role as a mystic to guide others through alchemy, sharing my knowledge and energy with authority.
  • Commanding My Worth: Allowing my self-worth to be the magnet that attracts every blessing, opportunity, and resource needed to bring my dreams into reality.
  • Ruling My Realm: Managing my life, my business, and my energy from a place of internal command—without doubt, without cruelty, and without the need for external validation.

The Fire Horse of 2026 demands movement and power. By focusing on the foundations of who I am and what I’ve learned through the fires of 2025, I am stepping into my divine sovereignty. I am no longer just surviving the chaos; I am the architect of my own reality.

What Does Living Sovereignly Look Like to Me in 2026?

It means standing as the ultimate authority in my own life. It means that every action I take is no longer just a habit, but a conscious choice made from my center. If 2025 was about the discipline of showing up, 2026 is about the power I wield now that I’ve arrived.

This year, I am building upon the five-year cycle of evolution, growth, and the alchemizing of my suffering. I am honoring the sacred container of my business and the massive progress I have made by finally allowing myself to lead it with total conviction. I will no longer ask for permission to be successful or wait for a “sign” to claim what is mine.

Living my Sovereignty means:

  • Commanding My Energy: I will take action rooted in my worth, regardless of the “noise” of the outside world.
  • Trusting My Magic: I am letting go of the self-doubt and the “imposter” narrative. A sovereign does not wonder if they belong on the throne; they simply sit.
  • Releasing Control for Command: I am letting go of the frantic need to control every outcome and perfectionism. Instead, I am stepping into command—a state of being where I trust my foundations enough to handle whatever the “Fire Horse” year throws my way.
  • Radical Authenticity: I am practicing what I preach by living as a Mystic who is fully integrated. I am no longer hiding my gifts to make others comfortable; I am letting my power be seen.

Consistency was the bridge that brought me here, but Sovereignty is the destination. This year, I commit to ruling my realm with honesty, grace, and an unshakable belief in my own divine right to thrive. In 2026, I am not just a participant in my life—I am its Queen.

How to use your word of the year?

Now, that you have gone through the steps and reflection to get to your word of the year what do you do? How do you incorporate this word into your life, manifestation and goal setting for the new year waiting to unfold. How do you take this one little word and have it be the corner stone of your dreams coming true, goals being met, and lasting change taking root? That is really truly going to depend on you and what you need. Think about what works best for you. Below are some of the things I have done in the past years you can try. Just listen to that little voice in your head and heart telling you which way to go.

  • My personal favorite, . If you haven’t learned how to create one to transform you year completely check out my guide here.
  • A lot of people like to call them vision boards but, I prefer to use goal boards. Using this term creates a much more urgent sense to complete what is on them instead of making them a some day dream. So, make sure when you create yours for this year your new word of the year you just chose inspires everything on it and is in the center of the board.
  • Are you a bullet journal fanatic like I am? Do you live your life on the pages of that journal? Why not put your world all over it? I do. I add it to the front o f the page and across every single margin so I see it every year.
  • Don’t use a bullet journal then write it on your planner, your calendar, or put on the notepad on your phone or lock screen as a home screen saver.
  • Use your word of the year to be the center of your goal setting mind map. This is one I love to do year after year. I take the word I choose then in the center of a page I write how can I…fill in this years word.. this years number. So for this year it said How can have sovereignty in 2026? Then around that question I make boxes for each categories of goals and answer the question for each one. This helps me guide with clarity the goals I should focus on in 2026.
  • Let your word of the year be the guide and center focus of the SMART goals you set for 2026. To learn more about SMART goals and how to set them check out my guide here.
  • , you use for the next year.
  • Another great idea is to create a list of books to read that support your word of the year. If you aren’t a book person then do a list of podcasts, YouTube videos, or documentaries instead.
  • That bullet journal we talked about earlier why not go and pick out 12 monthly quotes that align with your word of the year. use one each month and write it in your bullet journal , on your bathroom mirror, create a phone lock screen, or write it on your monthly calendar page. You can find daily motivation quotes on my Pinterest page to sift through.
  • Are you ready to do some extra introspection and reflection with the new year? Use your word of year to create journal prompts or as you focus with shadow work . If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here;  you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.
  • Write your word on multiple pieces of small paper and seal them in a jar you decorate to pull out on days when you need to remember your focus for the year.
  • Take your word of the year and write it on sticky notes and place them all over your home to remind you of what is when you need it and you can’t forget it. You could even write it in the inside of your wrist. I have done that from time to time. I suggest don’t use permanent marker or sharpie. I have had it end up on my face by the morning while I sleep through transference. Not fun to try and wash off!
  • Are you more of a person who lives their life using their phone? Then why not take your word and have it on reminders, alarms, or calendar events to go off and be a consistent reminder for you.
  • Write your word down over and over and over again somewhere. Putting your goals which this word is tied to, in writing enhances their tangibility and strengthens your commitment to achieving them.
  • Share your word of the year with friends and loved ones. You can do this in anyway you like. When you Share your goals with trusted friends, family, or a mentor you gain encouragement and accountability. If you need a community to share your word with comment below, comment on facebook, or in my patreon.
  • Lastly, make sure to spend some time in a quiet, calm, and sacred container so you can meditate and visualize what living your life focused on your word of the year will look like, and feel like in the year to come.

Final Thoughts: Claiming Your Command

When it comes to choosing your own word of the year, remember: you are the architect of your own reality. There is no right or wrong way to do this. It is about selecting a single word—perhaps paired with a mantra, an affirmation, or a sacred quote—that acts as the North Star for your intentions.

Your word is more than just a focus; it is a reminder to walk your unique, destined path. It is the vibration you carry as you help heal the collective and touch the souls you encounter on your journey.

How to find your word for 2026:

  • Watch for the Spark: It might arrive in a sudden flash of alchemical inspiration or appear repeatedly in your daily life until you can no longer ignore it.
  • Listen to the Silence: It might emerge slowly as you sit in your power and listen to your inner wise mind.
  • Trust Your Intuition: You will know it when you feel it. Trust yourself to choose the word that resonates with your soul’s current evolution.

Once you have your word, set your goals and reach for the stars! The energy of 2026 and the Fire Horse is waiting to be harnessed, but it requires you to take the reins. This year will be your most magical and transformative yet—but only if you choose to claim it.

Working with Bee Magic and Honey in August

Bees are nature’s tireless alchemists, buzzing with vitality, wisdom, and magic, especially in the golden month of August. Emerging from their hives under the summer sun, they captivate us with their industrious dance, their honeyed gifts, and their sacred connection to the cycles of life and death. In many traditions, bees are revered as messengers between the earthly and the divine, embodying the energy of community, abundance, and transformation. August, with its warm fields and blooming wildflowers, is the perfect time to work with bee magic and honey, tapping into their ancient lore to heal, manifest, and align with the spirit of the season. Join me on a honey-sweet journey through history, symbolism, and ritual as we explore the mystical power of bees and honey this August!

What Are Bees?

Before we dive into the buzzing depths of bee magic, let’s explore what bees truly are. Bees are social insects belonging to the Apidae family, known for their complex hives, intricate communication through the waggle dance, and the production of honey and beeswax. Found in meadows, gardens, and forests worldwide, bees thrive in August’s abundant nectar flows, symbolizing the peak of summer’s fertility. Their industrious nature and golden offerings hold a magic that has been honored across cultures for millennia, from ancient rituals to modern witchcraft.

Fun Facts About Bees:

  • Bees communicate direction and distance to food sources through a precise waggle dance, a marvel of natural intelligence.
  • The oldest known bee fossil, discovered in amber, dates back 100 million years to the Cretaceous period.
  • A single beehive can produce up to 60 pounds of honey in a season, a testament to their collective effort.
  • Beeswax, secreted by worker bees, has been used for candles, art, and sealing since ancient times.
  • The queen bee can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day, embodying fertility and leadership.
  • Some bee species, like the stingless Melipona, are revered in Mayan culture for their sacred honey.
  • Honey never spoils, with sealed pots found in Egyptian tombs still edible after 3,000 years!

The Magic of August: A Season of Buzzing Energy 

August is a magical month, aligned with the height of summer’s warmth and the earth’s generous harvest. Bee magic in August harnesses this energy to inspire community, abundance, and transformation. Bees are more than pollinators—they’re living symbols of cooperation, resilience, and the sweet rewards of hard work, reflecting the cycle of life from flower to hive. Working with them in August amplifies their power, connecting us to the divine feminine, the spirit of the land, and the creative force of nature.

Bee Magic and Honey Across Cultures 

Bees and honey have buzzed into the spiritual practices of countless cultures, each with unique interpretations and uses.

  • Ancient Egypt (circa 3000 BC): Egyptians revered bees as symbols of royalty and the soul, associating them with the goddess Neith, protector of the pharaohs. Honey was used in mummification, offerings to the gods, and as a sacred elixir, believed to preserve life and connect the living to the afterlife. Bee motifs adorned royal tombs, signifying immortality.
  • Greek Mythology (circa 1200 BC): In Greece, bees were linked to the god Apollo and the priestesses at Delphi, known as the “Delphic Bees,” who channeled divine prophecies. Honey was considered ambrosia, the food of the gods, symbolizing wisdom and immortality, while bees represented the soul’s journey.
  • Celtic Traditions (Iron Age to Early Medieval): The Celts saw bees as messengers of the Otherworld, their hives a gateway to the fae. Honey mead was a sacred drink in rituals, believed to grant poetic inspiration and connect warriors to the divine, especially during Lughnasadh in late summer.
  • Mayan Culture (Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica): The Maya worshipped the Melipona bee, calling its stingless honey “food of the gods.” Priests used it in ceremonies to honor Ah Mucen Kab, the bee god, believing it brought rain, fertility, and communication with the spirit world.
  • Hindu Tradition (Ancient India): In Vedic texts, bees are associated with Bhramari Devi, the bee goddess, symbolizing transformation and protection. Honey is offered in rituals to invoke her blessings for health and prosperity, seen as a bridge between human and divine energies.
  • African Traditions (Various Tribes): In some West African cultures, bees are tied to ancestral spirits, their hives considered sacred homes. Honey is used in libations to honor the dead, blending sweetness with the underworld’s mysteries, a duality revered in rituals.
  • Slavic Folklore (Eastern Europe): Bees were seen as souls of the departed in Slavic lore, their hives guarded by spirits. Honey was offered to appease these ancestors, believed to ensure a bountiful harvest and protect the community from harm.

The Power of Transformation Through Bees

Bees teach us transformation, mirroring their journey from larvae to workers, drones, and queens within the hive. Just as they transform nectar into honey, we’re invited to alchemize our efforts into sweet rewards. In August, this process aligns with the season’s energy, encouraging us to release stagnation and buzz into our authentic power. Working with bee magic and honey can heal emotional wounds, attract prosperity, and foster community, much like the hive’s harmonious dance.

The Healing Essence of Bees and Honey

Bees and honey have long been emblems of healing, their gifts used in herbalism and spiritual practices. Honey soothes the throat, boosts immunity, and promotes emotional warmth, while propolis (bee glue) fights infection. In folklore, bees were thought to carry healing vibrations, their hum a balm for the spirit. This healing power connects to the divine feminine and masculine, where bees embody industriousness and honey reflects nurturing energy, making them perfect allies in August’s magical work.

Bee Magic, Honey, and Duality 

With their industrious buzz and golden honey, bees and honey evoke a profound duality—sweetness and the underworld, abundance and sacrifice. Honey’s sweetness draws love and prosperity, a nectar of life that nourishes body and soul. Yet, its connection to the afterlife—through mummification, ancestral offerings, and the bee as a psychopomp—links it to the underworld, a bridge between realms. This duality mirrors the hive’s balance of labor and harmony, teaching us to embrace both light and shadow. In August, this energy invites us to alchemize our struggles into abundance while honoring the mysteries beneath.

Bees and Honey in Myths and Lore  

Bees and honey have woven their magic into myths and stories across time: 

  • The Bee and Demeter (Greek): In Greek mythology, bees were sacred to Demeter, goddess of agriculture. When her daughter Persephone was abducted to the underworld, bees carried messages between the realms, symbolizing hope and the cycle of life and death. Honey was offered to ease Persephone’s return.
  • The Bee Priestess and Artemis (Greek): Artemis, goddess of the wild, was served by bee priestesses who used honey in rites to honor her fertility. Bees were seen as her attendants, their stings a reminder of nature’s dual nature—nurturing yet fierce.
  • The Honey of Melek Taus (Yezidi): In Yezidi tradition, the Peacock Angel, Melek Taus, created bees to produce honey as a gift to humanity. This honey was both a blessing of abundance and a key to spiritual enlightenment, reflecting divine duality.
  • The Bee and Vishnu (Hindu): Vishnu, the preserver, took the form of a bee (Madhu) to defeat demons, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Honey from this myth is used in rituals to invoke protection and wisdom.
  • The Beehive of Bran (Celtic): In Celtic lore, the hero Bran the Blessed’s head was said to rest in a beehive after death, guarded by bees as psychopomps. Honey from this hive granted visions of the Otherworld, blending life and death.
  • The African Bee Ancestors (Zulu): Zulu mythology tells of bees as ancestors reborn, their hives portals to the spirit world. Honey offerings appease these spirits, ensuring harmony between the living and the dead.
  • The Honey Thief and Anansi (West African): Anansi, the trickster spider, stole honey from bees in Akan folklore, only to learn humility. This tale teaches the balance of taking and giving, with honey as a symbol of both reward and lesson.

These tales remind us of bees’ and honey’s role as bridges between worlds, carrying messages of abundance, transformation, and the sacred interplay of life and death.

Gods and Goddesses Associated with Bees and Honey

Bees and honey align with deities who embody their magic, offering correspondences for your practice:

  • Neith (Egyptian): Goddess of wisdom and weaving, she is linked to bees as symbols of creation and protection. Work with her using honey and beeswax.
  • Apollo (Greek): God of prophecy and the sun, he connects with bees as divine messengers. Use honey in rituals for clarity and inspiration.
  • Demeter (Greek): Goddess of harvest, she honors bees for their role in fertility. Offer honey to invoke abundance and growth.
  • Bhramari Devi (Hindu): Bee goddess of transformation, she resonates with honey for healing and protection. Use it in meditative rites.
  • Ah Mucen Kab (Mayan): Bee god of honey and rain, he is honored with stingless honey for fertility and spiritual connection.
  • Freyja (Norse): Goddess of love and magic, she associates with honey mead for passion and enchantment. Use it in love spells.
  • Melek Taus (Yezidi): Peacock Angel, creator of bees, he links honey to enlightenment and duality. Offer it for spiritual insight.

The Many Roles of Honey

  • Sweetening: Honey sweetens spells for love, harmony, and attraction, its golden flow drawing positive energy.
  • Abundance: As a product of collective effort, honey manifests prosperity, success, and material wealth.
  • Healing: Its antibacterial properties enhance physical and emotional healing, soothing the spirit.
  • Underworld Connection: Used in funerary rites and ancestral offerings, honey bridges the living and the dead.
  • Transformation: Honey alchemizes effort into reward, aiding personal growth and spiritual evolution.
  • Protection: Its sticky nature wards off negativity, sealing intentions with strength.

This duality—sweet life and shadowy death—makes honey a potent magical tool in August’s warm embrace.

Ways to Use Bees and Honey in Spells and Magic

Bees and honey are versatile tools in spellwork, offering countless ways to channel their magic. Here are 46 methods to incorporate them into your mystical practice this August.

What You’ll Need:

  • A jar of honey
  • A piece of paper and pen
  • A gold or yellow candle
  • A small bowl of water
  • A quiet space

Steps:

  1. Prepare Your Sacred Container: create a sacred space. Place the bowl of water in the center, surrounded by the honey jar and candle. Light the candle, inviting July’s energy.
  2. Set Your Intention: Write a challenge you wish to transform (e.g., “I transform doubt into confidence”) on the paper. Hold it to your heart, infusing it with your energy.
  3. Bless the Honey: Dip your finger in the honey, tasting a drop, and say:
    “Spirits of the hive, bless this honey with your magic. Transform my struggles into sweet abundance.”
  4. Plant Your Transformation: Place the paper in the honey jar, visualizing your challenge dissolving into golden light. Let the candle burn for 15 minutes, focusing on your new reality.
  5. Close the Ritual: Thank the bees and spirits, saying:
    “Thank you for your gifts. May my transformation bloom with the season.”
    Keep the jar on your altar, adding a drop of honey daily to nurture your intent.

Reflection Prompts  

After your ritual, journal your experience:

  • How did the honey’s energy feel as you worked with it?
  • What emotions or insights arose during the transformation?
  • Over July, notice signs of your intent manifesting—how do they appear?

Unleash Your Power through the Lion’s Gate Portal on 8/8

Certain dates hold a special significance in terms of celestial alignment, creating portals through which we can access heightened energies, spiritual insights, and opportunities for growth. The 8th of August is a profoundly important date as it marks the Lion’s Gate Portal, a cosmic event where the Earth aligns with the star Sirius, the Sun in Leo, and the Galactic Center. Known as the 8/8 Portal, this alignment occurs annually on August 8th and is revered in spiritual traditions, including astrology, numerology, and ancient Egyptian mysticism, as a time of amplified spiritual power and cosmic connection. It’s often believed that during this portal, the veil between realms thins, placing us in a liminal space to tap into higher frequencies, receive divine guidance, and unlock our inner strength. This portal opens a gateway to empowerment, abundance, transformation, and spiritual awakening, with its energy peaking on 8/8, the ultimate moment to unleash your power, align with your destiny, and see your potential as it truly is.

First, What is a Portal?

A portal is an energetic gateway or doorway that creates a powerful opportunity to connect with higher energies. We can make the most of each portal by working with the incoming energies, channeling, anchoring, and integrating them into our lives.

The Importance of Numbers

In numerology, every number from 0 to 9 carries symbolic weight, serving as the language of the soul and forming patterns that act like a cosmic code. Days like 8/8 offer a chance to connect more fully with our higher nature and elevate our consciousness. The number 8 symbolizes infinity, strength, and abundance, resonating with the Lion’s Gate as a time to harness limitless potential and personal power.

The Meaning of the 8/8 Portal

With the Sun in Leo, the sign of courage and leadership, and the alignment with Sirius—the spiritual sun—the 8/8 Portal radiates energy of empowerment and manifestation. At its core, this portal represents a time of spiritual awakening and transformation, a chance to shed old limitations, embrace your inner lion, and align with your highest purpose. We can tap into the energies of the 8/8 Portal to ignite personal growth, release stagnant energy, and step into our sovereign power.

Connecting with the Divine Masculine

In many spiritual traditions, August aligns with the celebration of the divine masculine, embodying strength, leadership, and creative fire. As we access the 8/8 Portal, we are invited to connect with the bold and protective qualities of the divine masculine, honoring the cycles of action, growth, and mastery mirrored in the natural world around us.

The 8/8 Portal and Duality

As a free witch, I seek the duality in every energy I align with. The 8/8 Portal, brimming with empowerment, abundance, and transformation, might seem wholly positive, but every energy holds balance. To unleash your power, you must release what dims your light—old fears, doubts, or societal chains. This process thrusts you into a liminal space, a death of the past self and a birth of the empowered you, embodying the potent duality of release and renewal.

How to Work with Portals in General

Portal days are a prime opportunity to refocus on ourselves. Below are some ways to engage with portals in general when they are open and active:

  • Listen to your gut feeling: Portal days are not for overthinking; trust your intuition and the insights that arise.
  • Movement: Energy needs to flow—try yoga or a walk to ground and sharpen your focus.
  • Get enough sleep: Healthy rest prepares you for the demands of these intense days.
  • Journaling and manifestation: Capture your thoughts on a goal board or in a journal to bring order to your ideas.
  • Create rituals: Use the heightened energy to establish new rituals or refine old ones for lasting integration.

How to Use the 8/8 Portal Specifically

The sequence of 88 signifies a time of infinite potential, spiritual awakening, and empowerment. Set intentions during this portal, especially at 8:08 AM or PM, to maximize its energy for manifestation and personal mastery. Here’s one way to work with it:

Step 1: Identify What is Holding You Back

Reflect on areas blocking your power and transformation. Use shadow work or questions like:

  • Where does fear silence my voice?
  • What limiting beliefs about my strength persist?
  • Am I resisting my leadership potential?
  • Do I trust my ability to manifest abundance?
    Explore my eBook here or book a 1:1 session here for deeper guidance.

Step 2: Letting Go of Old Beliefs

Once identified, release these old patterns. Let go of past limitations and invite higher vibrations, calling on spirit guides or deities like Sekhmet if needed.

Step 3: Manifest

  • Sit quietly in nature or your sacred space.
  • Light a gold candle or burn incense to cleanse the area.
  • Hold a citrine crystal, a single point if possible.
  • Visualize the 8/8 energies flowing from Sirius and the Galactic Center into your Crown chakra on the in-breath.
  • On the out-breath, see this energy grounding into Mother Earth.
  • Continue breathing, anchoring the light within you and activating your inner power until guided to stop.

Throughout the day, drink water, rest, express gratitude, walk in nature, draw oracle cards, journal, or take a ritual bath to integrate the energy.

Embrace the Empowerment, Transformation, and Awakening of the 8/8 Portal

There are many ways to work with the 8/8 Portal—ritual, ceremony, meditation, prayer, channeling, or sacred gatherings. These practices amplify our intentions, deepen our connection to the divine, and align us with the portal’s transformative energies. Honor the 8/8 Portal in your unique way, embracing its gifts of empowerment and awakening, trusting in the guidance of the cosmos and your inner wisdom.

The Gods and Goddesses of Summer to Work With as the Sun Reigns High  

As the sun climbs to its zenith on this warm June day, the season of summer unfurls its golden embrace, with festivals like Litha and Midsummer calling us to bask in vitality, abundance, and the peak of solar power. During these celebrations, witches and pagans often turn to deities that embody the energies of heat, harvest, and the sun’s radiant strength. For me, summer is a time of fiery balance, where the divine masculine and feminine intertwine in a dance of light and life. I feel drawn to step into the sunlit fields, where the sun gods and harvest goddesses invite me to honor passion, prosperity, and the cycles of nature’s fullness. In this season, I’m captivated by the healing warmth of sunlight, the empowerment of creation, and the magic of abundance, as I listen to the whispers of the earth and reap the fruits of my intentions. Several deities rise to prominence, especially those tied to summer festivals or sacred days, offering a deep connection to their potent energies. Summer, spanning June, July, and August, is a pivotal time in pagan culture, brimming with magic, fertility, strength, and joy. Let’s wander through the sun-drenched landscapes, where fields glow and rivers shimmer, to pause, reflect, and commune with the rhythmic pulse of nature as we meet these deities together in this post today.

His cult centered at Heliopolis, and his association with the summer solstice makes him a guardian of abundance. Ra’s fiery presence invites us to harness solar strength, to create with confidence, and to protect our harvests.

Anchor into the Earth’s Embrace for Security and Pleasure Under the Taurus New Moon

The new moon in Taurus on April 27, 2025, arrives to bathe us in a grounding, sensual energy that invites us to root deeply into the earth and cultivate lasting abundance. This new moon, nestled in the steadfast, nurturing, and pleasure-seeking earth sign of Taurus, offers a sacred moment to plant seeds of stability, self-worth, and beauty in our lives. New moons are always a time to start fresh, set intentions, and envision your future—but this Taurus new moon, coming just after Earth Day, doubles as a powerful opportunity to connect with the natural world and honor your own worth. For me, this moon feels especially significant after my recent journey of embracing winter’s magic in Minnesota, as it continues the theme of aligning with nature’s cycles and finding peace in stillness.

Taurus is all about grounding, luxury, and the appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. This new moon encourages us to slow down, savor the moment, and build a foundation for long-term growth. As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus reminds us to prioritize self-care, indulge in sensory delights, and cultivate a deep sense of self-worth. This new moon is the time to connect with the most stable, abundant version of yourself—the one that makes you think, “I am worthy of all the beauty and richness life has to offer.” Let this New Moon in Taurus anchor you in the earth’s embrace, helping you manifest a life of security, pleasure, and enduring growth.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the new moon ushers us into a fresh cycle, a moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions. Before we dive into Taurus’s earthy magic, let’s ground ourselves in the essence of the new moon itself. This lunar phase is a time to cleanse your energy, set intentions for the cycle ahead, and plant the seeds of what you wish to manifest. But intentions alone aren’t enough—you must pair them with action and energy to bring them to life. The new moon supports you in this process, offering a fertile space for new ideas, beginnings, and growth.

Historically, our ancestors honored the new moon as a time of rest and renewal, using the darkness of the night sky to reflect and plan, much like they did during seasonal shifts. Think of your intentions as seeds you’re planting now, to be nurtured over the lunar cycle and harvested by the full moon. Each new moon carries its own unique magic, influenced by the zodiac sign it falls in. To learn more about working with the new moon, check out my previous blog post here.

Taurus: The Sign of Grounding and Abundance

Each new moon is amplified by the zodiac sign it occupies, and this time, we’re blessed with the steady, sensual energy of Taurus. So, who is Taurus?

Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is the second sign of the zodiac, governing those born between April 20 and May 20. As an earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus embodies stability, beauty, and a deep connection to the physical world. It’s the sign of the gardener, the artist, and the lover of life’s pleasures—think blooming flowers, a warm meal, or the feel of soft grass beneath your feet. Taurus energy is slow, deliberate, and deeply rooted, encouraging us to build solid foundations for our dreams. It’s also a fixed sign, meaning it’s all about perseverance, loyalty, and seeing things through to the end.

Taurus Constellation

Taurus is one of largest constellations in the northern sky. The constellation is symbolized by the bull’s head. Not only that it is one of the oldest constellations and one of the first ones to spoken and written about. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age .It sits in the evening sky close to the famous constellation Orion and it includes a famous star cluster the pleidess.

According to Greek mythology, the constellation Taurus was placed in the sky by the god Zeus. That’s because Zeus changed himself into a beautiful white Bull to win the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa. After Europa hopped onto the Bull’s back, the Bull swam across the Mediterranean Sea, taking Europa all the way to the island of Crete. Later, Zeus and Europa became the parents of Minos, the legendary king of Crete. In another Greek myth, Zeus’s wife, Juno, changed her lover, Io, into a heifer or bull to hide her from Zeus

Meanwhile, the Zuni of New Mexico used the Pleiades cluster as an agricultural calendar. When the Pleiades – which the Zuni called the Seed Stars – disappeared into the western dusk in spring, they knew it was safe to plant their seeds, as the danger of frost had passed.

Now for the oldest myth I can find. In Babylonian mythology, the bull was known as the Heavenly Bull, or MUL.APIN. This constellation is connected to the story of Gilgamesh. He was the king of the Sumerian city state of Uruk. In the book The Epic of Gilgamesh, the king has to fight the Heavenly Bull. This animal was sent by the goddess Ishtar to kill Gilgamesh. She was so angry at him for not falling for her advances that she thought he deserved to die. Gilgamesh is considered to be represented by the constellation Orion, which is right next to Taurus. The story goes that they are still fighting their battle in the skies.

Taurus: The Sign of Sensuality and Stability

Taurus is the embodiment of earthy sensuality, ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. This sign revels in the material world—think lush gardens, fine fabrics, and the scent of blooming flowers. Taurus energy is grounded, patient, and deeply connected to the body, encouraging us to slow down and savor life’s delights. As a fixed earth sign, Taurus is the rock of the zodiac, offering stability, reliability, and a steadfast commitment to growth.

This new moon in Taurus is a time to embrace your inner gardener, planting seeds that will grow into lasting abundance. Taurus, ruled by Venus, invites us to focus on self-love, beauty, and the creation of a secure foundation. We may feel a surge of desire to nurture ourselves, to indulge in sensory pleasures, and to build a life that feels both luxurious and stable. Use this energy to root deeply into your values, to honor your worth, and to cultivate a sense of peace that withstands life’s storms.

Taurus: The Sign of Self-Worth

Taurus rules the second house in astrology, often called the house of values and possessions. This house governs our relationship with money, self-worth, and the material world, reflecting how we build security and abundance in our lives. Taurus, as the ruler of this house, teaches us that true abundance begins with self-worth. This sign encourages us to value ourselves deeply, to recognize our inherent worth, and to create a life that reflects that value.

Taurus energy is a reminder that we are enough, just as we are. It’s the sign that helps us cultivate a strong sense of self-esteem, grounded in authenticity rather than external validation. During this new moon, focus on what makes you feel worthy, secure, and connected to your body and the earth. Taurus invites us to build a life that feels rich in every sense—emotionally, spiritually, and materially.

Themes of the Taurus New Moon

Every new moon carries themes tied to its zodiac sign, and this Taurus new moon is all about grounding, abundance, and self-worth. We’ll feel a deep pull to slow down, to root into the present moment, and to nurture ourselves with intention. This new moon is about building a foundation for lasting growth, indulging in life’s pleasures, and honoring our inherent value. If you’ve been neglecting your needs or doubting your worth, this is your cosmic invitation to prioritize yourself and create a life that feels secure and beautiful. Keep in mind that this new moon follows Earth Day, amplifying its earthy energy and encouraging us to deepen our connection with nature.

  • Grounding: Anchor yourself in the present and connect with the earth’s stability.
  • Abundance: Plant seeds for financial, emotional, and spiritual prosperity.
  • Self-Worth: Recognize your value and build a life that reflects it.
  • Sensuality: Indulge in sensory pleasures and honor your body.
  • Stability: Create a solid foundation for your dreams.
  • Patience: Embrace the slow, steady pace of growth.
  • Beauty: Surround yourself with beauty and create a life that feels luxurious.
  • Nurturing: Care for yourself and your environment with love.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Taurus New Moon

While Taurus energy is grounding and nurturing, it can also lead to stubbornness and resistance to change. Taurus loves comfort and stability, which might make us cling to old habits or routines, even when they no longer serve us. Be mindful of becoming too rigid—allow yourself to adapt and grow while staying rooted in your values. Additionally, Taurus’s love of luxury can tip into overindulgence, so balance your desire for pleasure with mindfulness and moderation.

This new moon also calls for balance between stability and growth. While Taurus encourages us to build a solid foundation, don’t let that anchor you into stagnation. Use this energy to create security, but remain open to new possibilities. As I’ve learned through my own journey with winter’s stillness, there’s magic in slowing down—but growth often requires us to step beyond our comfort zone, even in small ways.

Taurus and Duality

As a grey witch, I always seek the duality in every energy I work with, including the new moon and the zodiac sign it occupies. Let’s explore the duality of Taurus. On one hand, Taurus is nurturing, sensual, and grounded, offering a stable foundation for growth and a deep appreciation for life’s pleasures. This energy is perfect for cultivating self-worth, building abundance, and rooting into the present moment. On the other hand, Taurus can be stubborn and resistant to change, sometimes leading to stagnation or an overattachment to material comforts. This duality reminds us that while stability is essential, we must also remain flexible to evolve.

The new moon itself is a liminal space, embodying duality through its balance of light and shadow. It’s a time of beginnings, but those beginnings are born from endings—a cycle of death and rebirth. Just as I learned to embrace winter’s stillness as a precursor to spring’s renewal, this Taurus new moon invites us to find harmony between grounding and growing, between indulgence and discipline.

A week of simmer pots; fill your home with magic every day of the week

I love simmer pots! They are one of my favorite spells to do! They are magical spells to create an enchanted energetic container within your home. The essence of your spell is able to be carried to every single nook and cranny of your home. This is the main reason I love them so much! Our homes are so important to imbue with our magical energy and the essence of the intention we want to create in our life. Because, they are our home base, our safe zone, and one of most sacred temples we retreat to. We use them to build our families, create connections with the divine , and perform our magic in. They are also simple to create and cast and incredibly versatile. You can make them for endless intentions and energies it just depends what type of magical atmosphere you want to bring into your home. Because, I love them so much and have created so many of them throughout the years I have decided to create this post to give you a week of simmer pots to imbue magic into your own home!

What are simmer pots?

Simmer pots are basically potpourri in a pot! You choose your ingredients, put them in a pot with water, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and let it do its thing. They couldn’t be any easier, just be sure you don’t let your pot boil dry! If you want to keep the pot going simply add more water when it gets low. And obviously never leave it going when you are not home. Simmer pots also lack the harsh toxins that are packed into conventional air freshener sprays and many scented candles. Just fresh ingredients from your kitchen! No fake fragrances or toxic chemicals needed. One more benefit, they can likely be crafted with things you already have in your kitchen making them a convenient and inexpensive solution. If you want to learn more about simmer pots and learn how to create your own check out my guide HERE!

What makes a simmer pot magical?

Aside from making your house smell divine, one of the ways simmer pots are magical is they incorporate all of the natural elements – making it a fun way to bring a connection with nature and the environment to your home. You do this simply by creating it.

  • EARTH-The first step to creating a simmer pot is to choose the herbs, spices, plants and other foods that will go into your concoction
  • WATER-Once you’ve put all of your botanical ingredients in the pot, you will fill the pot 2/3 with water.
  • FIRE/HEAT-The fire element is added when you turn on your stove top burner and start heating up your simmer pot. You’ll want to bring it to gentle simmer
  • AIR-The steam from your simmer pot will circulate the scent and magic of your simmer pot throughout your space. And sending the energy of your spell, intention, manifestation, or ritual into the air, your sacred space and the multiverse.

This is my favorite part and why I find them so magical. The amount of magical energy being released into your space out into the multiverse and than inhaled back into your soul through your lungs is astounding and intoxicating. Simmer pots also leverage the magical and mysterious properties of herbs and other plants making it great way to practice kitchen witchcraft even if cooking or baking isn’t really your thing. Ps. if you need to learn ore about the elements and the energy they are bringing to your simmer pots read my guide HERE!

Money flow swiftly and thickly Abundance spell

In this day and age it seems we can’t escape those moments in life when we need a boost to our finances. Especially when we have a society where money is how we trade our goods and services now. Even if we don’t agree with the current system of money we still have to live inside of it. It isn’t always easy and sometimes we have an unexpected bill pop up, an emergency happen, or we simply just need to upgrade our current flow of money to meet the needs of our lives better. The spell I created below can help you do just that! This spell is meant to bring a thick flow of money you need into your life very swiftly. The last time I used this spell after creating it, it brought me exactly what I needed times three into my life and quicker then any other abundance spell I have ever used. Keep reading to learn how to cast this spell and get a thick flow of money into your life swiftly.

The basics of Abundance spells

Before we get into the spell work let’s first talk about abundance a bit, so you know how to use it and connect to it. When you hear the word abundance what do you right away think of? Most of us would immediately go to money and wealth. The word abundance simply means to have a lot of something. But, abundance also means so much more than that and influences every area of your life. Abundance is more than wealth. It’s a rich and full life. It means all of your needs are met and you have no wants. You not only have all your needs met but, you have more and the ability to pass on that abundance to those around you. Abundance is having your cup full and overflowing with each and every energy, thing, or desire you want and need. Abundance magic is all about increasing wealth in our lives. It’s important to remember that if you are working with abundance specifically to call in money, that money like magic, is a neutral tool, simply a form of energy. Your money mindset can have a big impact on the ease with which you attract money and material goods. There are lots of different spells that can help you call in money, but if deep down you believe that money is harmful in some way or that you are not worthy it will be hard for you to keep it for long. If you want to really go in depth on abundance and how to work with this energy check out my guide HERE!

Why cast this spell on a Thursday?

While you can always cast your spells whenever you really need them, I won’t gatekeep you on that. You can amplify the potency of your spells and increase the outcome of them. You do this by giving them a little extra oomph by casting them on the days that align with the energy you are working with based on the planets that rule and influence that day. The reason to cast this spell on Thursday is because, Thursday is a day ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is drenched in masculine energy and is all about the practical aspects of your life. This day is all about connecting to the energy of finances, legal matters, success, wealth and fame. This day is about big energy connecting you to the actions you need to take to meet your goal. This energy is all about thriving and is one of the best days and times to work the energy of abundance, prosperity, and wealth! If you want to learn more about the energy of Thursday and how to work with it you can read my guide about it HERE!

What you will need

  • Fire safe bowl
  • Rice
  • Cinnamon
  • 3 Bay leaves
  • Pumpkin seeds ( you can swap these out for a symbol of abundance that aligns with the current season For winter I would use pinecones or I would use peppermint)
  • Sugar
  • 7 coins
  • 3 bills
  • Candle

How to perform


Get into a sacred container while visualizing money flowing to your bank account easily and quickly.
Fill your bowl with rice
Next, add cinnamon for abundance and wealth
Take you bay leaves and on each one write a dollar amount you would like to receive and then add them to the bowl for money flow
Then add sugar to speed up the spell and sweeten the outcome
Add pumpkin seeds for abundance from the fall harvest OR your seasonal item that represents abundance

Work with the transitional energy of Midwinter by celebrating Imbolc

At Imbolc, the Earth is beginning to wake up and we celebrate the approaching return of spring. We are through the harshest, longest, and darkest part of the winter. We begin to prepare ourselves to awaken from a hibernation and time of reflection. We begin to reach for the light again as we open our eyes, stretch our limbs, and prepare to leave our places of safety to venture out into the wilderness again. Imbolc is a time for cleansing, renewal, and planting the seeds — both literal and metaphorical — for what you want to grow in the year ahead. Imbolc is holiday all about reflecting on the promise of new life and the first signs of spring stirring within the earth. Come with me as the wheel turns again and learn all about this transitional festival from Winter to Spring with me in this blogpost.

First, What is Imbolc?

Imbolc is a sabbat on the Wiccan Wheel of the Year but, is originally an ancient Gaelic/Celtic holiday celebrating the first signs of Spring. The word Imbolc is believed to mean either “ewe’s milk” or “in the belly”, which many believe refers to the birth of baby lambs around this time in Ireland and Scotland. In modern times, most of us don’t understand the harshness of Winter and what a brutal mistress she can be, that our ancestors endured. Not even me who lives in Minnesota. Our winter’s get quite harsh but, I still can’t understand their experience. So, at this time they were coming out of a period of brutal weather. They had endured the harshest part of the winter and their food stores were declining. So when the baby lambs were born around this time and their mother’s milk started flowing, it was a good day. The birth of new lambs and milk meant they’d have more food to last the rest of the Winter season. Another coming mean I come across, is that Imbolc means; “in the belly of the Mother,” because the seeds of spring are beginning to stir in the belly of Mother Earth.

In addition to celebrating rebirth, life, and replenishment, the Celtic goddess Brigid is honored on Imbolc and takes a central role. This is because, another name for Imbolc is Brigid’s Day. I am going to talk about her more below so just keep reading if you want to learn why she is so important.

When is Imbolc celebrated?

Imbolc is celebrated annually on February 1st in the Northern Hemisphere and August 1st in the Southern Hemisphere. Imbolc marks the halfway point between the winter solstice or Yule and the spring equinox or Ostara. Because Imbolc is the midway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, it was regarded as a season unto itself. A time of change, when the days are longer and the sun is stronger.

History of Imbolc

Historically, this was a time to honor the increasing sunlight and prepare for the coming growing season. Although winter still holds its harsh grip, the days are growing noticeably longer, and we see signs of the earth beginning to awaken. Farmers would bless their fields and livestock, symbolizing hope for a bountiful harvest to come. Our ancestors looked forward to Imbolc as a sign that the darkest days of winter were behind them. As the darkness began to give way to the light, they experienced a sense of hope and anticipation that the cold, dark winter season was coming to an end.

Imbolc the day the earth begins to awaken

On this day, the earth stirs from its slumber, and the first signs of spring begin to emerge. Imbolc means we see the gradual return of warmth and light, the stirring of life in the natural world, and a sense of rejuvenation that permeates both the earth and our own spirits and bodies. This energy brings a palpable sense of anticipation and renewal as nature prepares to burst forth with life once more. Even though there may still be snow on the ground where you are, even if it’s freezing cold outside, we are beginning to feel the very earliest hints of spring rising in our spirits. After months of turning inward, of hibernation & of rest, life is beginning to stir again. The Earth is beginning to reawaken after her Winter slumber.

Imbolc a day of fertile manifestation

The dormant earth starts to awaken, and we sense a surge of potential and possibility in the air. It’s a time for new beginnings, for setting intentions, and for sowing the seeds of our dreams. Imbolc gives you a chance to reflect on your own life and how you want to grow in the coming year. Now is a time to honor the potential waiting within you as well. It’s the spark of an idea or a dream waiting to come true. Let your creativity and imagination help manifest these dreams!

Brigid the Irish goddess of Imbolc; who is she?.

A Goddess in Irish tradition, Brigid is one of the most well-known because, she is the Goddess of fertility and spring. To many she is also known as the Great Mother Goddess of Ireland, and to Christians as a Saint Brigid. With this energy, Brigid brings the remembrance of our Oneness and of the Eternal Essence of the Divine Feminine. She is the daughter of the Celtic God Dagda, a Fae leader of the Tuatha dè Danann.She’s often depicted with fiery hair and a sunbeam cloak. She was born at sunrise with rays of sunlight radiating around her head. She is associated with many things; Poetry, Healing, Midwinter/Imbolc, Flames/fire, Fertility, and Motherhood.

Brigid is considered a Triple Goddess, yet many references distinguish Brigit differently than the traditional Triple Goddess aspects of Maiden, Mother and Crone. Rather Brigid is frequently referenced having three sister selves with three distinct roles, Lady of Healing Waters, Goddess of the Sacred Flame and Goddess of the Fertile Earth.

Other names she goes by

Brigid is also known as Brigit or Bríg

  • The Bright One
  • Fiery Arrow
  • The Powerful One
  • The High One
  • Great Mother Goddess of Ireland
  • Lady of the Sacred Flame
  • Eternal Flame of Life
  • Flame of Inspiration
  • The Mistress of the Mantle

Cailleach, the Goddess of Winter, heads out to gather wood

On Imbolc, Cailleach, the Goddess of Winter, heads out into the world to gather firewood to keep her warm for the rest of winter. If the weather is bright and sunny, Cailleach is out gathering the wood and will be able to gather enough to make winter last a good bit longer. However, if the weather is bad and cold, Cailleach is still asleep and will soon run out of firewood, and spring will come sooner.

Cailleach is often depicted as a powerful, crone-like figure who embodies the harshness and stillness of winter. When she appears to me she also has a blue aurora about her, and her mythical staff in hand. As the guardian of the cold, she is said to control the storms, the winds, and the snow that blanket the earth during the winter months. She is a symbol of death and decay but also of transformation and the wisdom that comes with age and experience. While Brigid heralds the coming of spring and new life, Cailleach represents the slowing down and rest that winter brings, urging us to pause and reflect. On Imbolc, Cailleach’s presence is especially poignant as it marks the shift from the deep, inward-focused energies of winter toward the budding life of spring. Cailleach holds the power to either prolong winter or usher in the first signs of spring, depending on whether she decides to create a fierce storm or allow the warmth to return.

Cailleach is a goddess that until this year I had only read about and had not worked with. This is for many reasons but, the main one being I hate winter. Well, now it’s hated. since I have been able to walk alongside her in the winter wonderland that is the Minnesota woods this year. This winter I have listened to her call from the woods to come and join her time and time again. Each time she was able to help me heal a layer of trauma, let go of parts of me that need to rest, and remember the strength found in the resilience of winter. This Winter has shown me that Cailleach teaches us that winter’s resilience and silence is just as important as the energy of growth. Her winter reign creates the space needed for rebirth and growth, teaching that sometimes we must go through periods of stillness, darkness, and challenge before we can emerge into the light. If you want to learn more about her check out the anthology that is within the Dark Goddess Collective I am apart of.

Common traditions for Imbolc

Most traditions observed around Midwinter are focused on awakening Nature from its sleep and dormancy and the coming fertility of spring. Honor Imbolc by including traditions connecting you to the rhythms of Nature. Let’s take a look at some of the many but, certainly not all, of the ancient traditions associated with Imbolc. Listen to your intuition and celebrate Imbolc in whatever way calls to you.

Use milk and dairy as an offering to Brigid or in your spell workings

Traditionally milk and dairy are included in meals. This is an easy way to work ancient traditions into your modern Imbolc rituals. Leave a glass of milk as a offering to Brigid or your spirits at the table or on your altar. When you have your Imbolc feast make a dish that features cheese, cream, or milk. Lastly, you could use milk in spells or rituals. Some of my favorites are adding it to ritual baths for fertility and purification or in abundance spells.

Lighting a fire in your hearth

As a fire festival, Imbolc symbolizes the return of light after the dark days of winter. The hearth fire was central to celebrations, representing warmth, protection, and the growing power of the sun. Fire is also used to purify and protect and is an Imbolc symbol for these reasons. In addition, fire is an element sacred to the goddess Brigid and employed to honor her on her sacred day.

Making a Brigid cross or dollie

The Brigid’s cross is a four-armed cross constructed of reeds. It is traditionally made fresh every year and hung above the front door for protection. This has become one of the most popular symbols of Imbolc.

Bless your seeds to plant this coming spring

Now is the traditional time to bless the seeds for the coming planting season. I f you already purchased seeds for spring, leave them on the altar on the night of Imbolc to charge with positive energy for fertility for planting in the spring.

Cleansing and purification rituals
Imbolc is also a time of purification and cleansing after the festivities of Yule. Cleansing rituals are common at Imbolc as a way of sweeping away the dense and dark energy of winter. To usher in the joy and hope of Spring.

Magical themes of Imbolc

Every season and every pagan holiday has certain concepts and magical themes. Which means, depending on your tradition and needs, you can weave one or more of these themes into your personal celebrations. This festival on the wheel perform spells to harness the energies of winter, spring, fertility, awakening, growth, manifestation, and renewal. This is also a time to reflect on the past year, but in a way to be present. To truly let go of the things that no longer serve you. This festival is reminder to harness the last bit of the reflection power of winter as Spring begins to awaken for the planting soon just ahead. On Imbolc, we see the following magical rituals and spells below as well. Remember these are just some of the themes and energies you can connect to and work with on Imbolc.

Imbolc and duality

Since, I was a grey witch I look for the duality in every single energy I work with including sacred times like Imbolc. The duality of Imbolc is as deep as it’s fertile energy. That is because, this is the transition period aka a liminal period between the harsh winter and the warming, new life of spring. Imbolc is that moment between what was and what’s still to come – a time to pause, reflect, and let the first seeds of hope take root. It’s not about rushing forward or forcing change but gently preparing ourselves for what’s next. Imbolc is a festival that celebrates the duality of light and dark, and the need for in our life. It’s reminds us of the wisdom found in the reflection and introspection of winter and the spark of hope and creativity in the light of spring. It’s a time to honor the cyclical nature of life and rebirth.

Correspondences for Imbolc

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy, the zodiac energy the moon is currently or for A holiday or sacred time like Imbolc. I will list below for you to use. Remember this is not an all encompassing list and there may be other correspondences to use. Just follow your intuition and use what calls to you.

Make sure you tap into the energies of abundance, renewal, manifestation, and awakening from the slumber of winter. In your everyday life, you can work with any affirmations, mantras, and visualization work for abundance, new beginnings, endings, renewal, awakening, fertility, and Spring. Let’s take a look at some of the many different ways you can magically work with the energy of Imbolc.

Light candles in your home on Imbolc eve

Lighting candles during Imbolc rituals symbolizes the awakening of the earth from its dormant state and the emergence of new possibilities. The illumination serves as a beacon of hope, guiding individuals through the last throes of winter toward the light-filled days of spring. Don’t forget to set an intention with each candle you light, focusing on renewal and new beginnings.

Cleanse, purify, and clean your home or space
Imbolc is an excellent time for a thorough physical and energetic cleansing. Perform a symbolic “spring cleaning” by decluttering or tidying your home. Sweep your home to remove stagnant energy, smudge with rosemary or sage, and open the windows to invite fresh air and light.

Honor Brigid by creating poetry or art and giving it to her as an offering

Brigid’s connection to poetry and craftsmanship makes Imbolc an excellent time to engage in creative pursuits. Write a poem, craft a piece of jewelry, or work on a project that sparks joy and expresses your unique voice. Dedicate your work to Brigid and ask for her blessings of inspiration and skill.

Other ways to celebrate Imbolc

  • Make a Brigid Cross. Crafting a Brigid’s Cross from straw or wheat is a traditional Imbolc activity. Place it above your door or hearth for protection and blessings throughout the year.

Reflection questions for Imbolc

Remember how Imbolc is a liminal time. This is because it is a time when we are sitting on the edge of awakening and growth. Growth often begins in darkness and stillness like the essence and energy of winter we have been in and we are now beginning to awaken from. To celebrate Imbolc is to honor the bravery of new beginnings by going within and doing the reflective work needed to heal. One of the best ways to do this is through shadow work . During Imbolc, Shadow work focused on letting go of what no longer serves you, renewal, the return of the light, and awakening to the fertility of spring. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here;  you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.

Which is why its a time of ripe fertile energy great to focus towards your manifestations and deepest wishes. Use this simple Imbolc wishing ritual below to create a potent vessel to help your deepest wishes come true with the blossoming energy of Spring.

“ As the sun begin its rebirth I gave my thanks back to mother earth. Embracing change, with the light of hope the seeds of the future I continue to sow.” Than Take the vessel and add it to your altar or leave it in a place you can see it often and come back to and charge yourself with its energy.

Burst of creativity ritual with Brigid on Imbolc

As you begin to awaken from your hibernation during winter, Imbolc is a time for reigniting our motivation and fertile creative energy. It’s a time to be willing to let go of the past ways of creating and feel into those fertile grounds that rest has nourished. Imbolc invites you to reflect on what fires up your soul creatively, what brings you back to your why, the thing that really fires your soul. Then dares you to have the courage to follow that spark and let a passionate inferno of creativity ignite in your soul. Use this ritual involving candle magic and the element of fire to call on Brigid to help you do just that.

What You’ll Need:
White candle (tealight or spell size is best)
Lighter
Carnelian


How to Cast the Spell:
Gather your supplies , pick your spot and get yourself into sacred container however works best for you. If you want to cast a circle you can do this now. Set your carnelian and your candle next to each other directly in front of you. Take the time now to focus on what the igniting passion of fire can light in your soul to create right now. Focus on the energy of fire lighting your creativity and bringing your project to life.
Next, Focus on your breath and when you feel ready on an inhale, light the candle then exhale. Then, recite this spell as you stare into the dancing hot flame now ignited, “candlelight, fire bright, burst through the darkness and stagnancy inside of me. I ask Brigid to lend me her fire of inspiration and creativity.” Close your eyes and repeat the prayer two more times. Visualize a small flame in your heart growing bigger and brighter. This is the fire of passion and creative ingenuity. Let it continue to grow in your mind’s eye as the candle burns down. When the candle is done burning, pick up the carnelian stone and carry it on you. Wear it daily and know that the fire of creativity is inside of that stone. Lending its energy to you. Now CREATE. Whatever that means to you: writing, content, arts and crafts, a new project at work, music, etc. etc.

By drawing on the symbolism of nourishment and sweetness, essentially invoking a “land of milk and honey” into your life . Bringing you plenty of wealth, happiness, and well-being to you.

Final thoughts

These cold Mid-Winter days give us a moment to pause and notice the signs of life return. The days are beginning to lengthen, and we receive the first faint whispers of warmth. Imbolc is a reminder that Winter does not last forever. Earth’s magic is never idle, even when it appears to be sleeping. Imbolc really is a special time of the year where the chill of winter begins to fade and the promise of spring peeks through. Just like the first flowers pushing through the snow, this is a chance to reconnect with ourselves and embrace the quiet energy of new beginnings. May the life stirring underground stir new dreams to life within you. May the flames of inspiration and passion be ignited in your soul this Imbolc/ Midwinter.

Celebrate New Years Eve with abundance, renewal, and protection Magic

New Year’s Eve is a liminal time exploding with the energy of renewal, transformation, and change. Marking the end of one calendar year and the beginning of another, it offers a secular reason for people to celebrate together. As we look upon a new calendar year full of possibilities and opportunities, it is important to start off the right way. Along with making resolutions, I like to ring in the New Year with a bit of magic aimed at accomplishing my goals. removing obstacles over the next twelve months, calling in abundance, and protection. This is a time for celebrating the changing seasons by incorporating spells into your New Year’s Eve festivities. Doing this can set the tone for a vibrant, abundant, and magical calendar year ahead.

What is the new year?

The new year is a symbolic time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The new year is the beginning of a new calendar year. The new year is celebrated on January 1st in most countries that use the Gregorian calendar, including the United States. However, the new year is celebrated on different dates in other calendars, such as the Chinese, Jewish, and Islamic calendars.

History of the New year

While it seems secular now, New Year’s is actually very much tied to ancient pagan celebrations. Many of our modern traditions are passed down to us from the ancients cultures and peoples. New year celebrations go back at least to the Babylonians. The Romans took these celebrations to the next level with copious amounts of drinking, feasting, and partying.

The new year hasn’t always been celebrated on December 31st/ January 1st. In 2000 B.C. the new year was celebrated around the time of the vernal equinox, in mid-March, in Mesopotamia. Today, most New Year’s celebrations start on New Year’s Eve, December 31, the final day of the year on the Gregorian calendar, and continue through New Year’s Day on January first.

The New Year a Liminal Time

As the old year fades away and the new one begins, we find ourselves in a liminal space. This is a time of transition and transformation, when anything is possible. It’s a time when we sit on the edge of one calendar year turning a page for another one to begin. The liminal space between one year ending and another beginning is a special time that should be embraced fully!

The New Year a time of abundance

When the calendar new year comes again it opens up a portal of abundance and wealth. The transition from one year to the next is seen as a chance to “clean the slate” and start anew, creating an optimistic outlook for the future. This includes the abundance of having all our needs met in life. This is a time when we set our intentions for the year ahead and what we all want to manifest. So, on this new years eve we do our best to have our life look like what we wish to manifest in the year ahead. We surround ourselves with an abundance of feasting, drinking, being around community, and loved ones as we ring in the new year ahead. We show the universe and the gods and goddesses all we wish for them to give us in the year ahead.

The New Year a time of reset

The calendar New year is the closing of one new year and the opening of another opening of a new one. This new start comes with a naturally feeling of renewal and reset. It is a chance to press the reset button on our lives, a chance to get it right this time. This is a time to relook at all the past year and reset for something brand new you have never seen before to unfold in front of you. If you want to learn how do to reset your entire life this new year’s eve check our my guide here.

Common folklore traditions

There are many different folklore and traditions around the world for how to celebrate New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Eve is usually celebrated by most with gathering alongside friends and family. Popular rituals include serving food that symbolizes good fortune and making resolutions focused on what one hopes to accomplish in the next year. Along side doing things to draw in good fortune and to protect yourself and the home from unwanted spirits to come into your home. Let’s take a look at some of the many but, certainly not all, of the ancient traditions and folklore from across the earthly realm I have found below.

  • Ancient Babylonians celebrated the new year with feasts and returning farm equipment that had been borrowed from others.
  • In Norse traditions, Yule celebrations ended around the new year. The last feasts of the Winter Solstice were huge on this final night to celebrate the turning of the wheel.
  • In both Ancient Egyptian and Greek societies they paraded a baby around to symbolize the beginning of the new year.
  • The romans would kiss each other at midnight to bring love and prosperity into the next year plus to also ward off unwanted and malevolent spirits.
  • For the Aztecs, this was a time to sacrifice children by drowning in order to buy the favor of the rain gods.
  • DON’T do any laundry on New Years Day. In china it’s thought if you do laundry on New years you are setting up your next year to be full of cleaning
  • Do NOT cry, crying on January 1st instills a sad and negative mood throughout the next 12 months.
  • Make sure you wake up at dawn. In fact, according to a Polish tradition, getting up early on New Year’s Eve will make you wake up to the crowing of the rooster (and without the slightest effort) for the rest of the year.
  • If your dream for the next year is to travel the world on New Year’s Eve in Colombia, people go around with an empty suitcase which, according to ancient superstition, would ensure a nice trip within the year.
  • Eat 12 grapes (one after the other) just like they do in Spain, where they are said to bring good luck.
  • Have black cabbage and lentils be apart of your new years feast like the do in the southern United states to call in good luck, prosperity, and wealth
  • According to the ancient Chinese tradition, on New Year’s Day, you should not clean the house, as removing the dust or sweeping the floor would literally “sweep” away the good luck and the good vibes that would have been attracted by the celebrations and decorations dedicated to the new year.
  • Observe the weather in the very early hours of January 1st; if the wind blows from the south, the new year will be rich and prosperous; if instead, it comes from the north, then the new year will be problematic and turbulent, so better fasten your seat belts. The wind from the east also brings famines and calamities, while the wind from the west means that the new year will be rich and lush.
  • According to an Italian tradition, men and women should wear red underwear on New Year’s Eve if they want to find love, passion, good sex, and good luck in the next year to come.
  • If you live or are celebrating near a lake or ocean, try out this Brazilian ritual on New Year’s Eve, which involves jumping seven waves. With each jump, you make a wish for the upcoming year.
  • An ancient Persian New year’s tradition that is still celebrated by some in Iran is to light a bonfire and once you do you jump over it twice. On the first jump you say a blessing releasing your past years pain into the flame and then on the jump back. You say a blessing asking for the health of the flame to bless your life in the coming year ahead.
  • Eat round foods. In many cultures, eating round foods on New Year’s Eve is believed to bring prosperity and abundance in the new year. In Europe and the United States, people eat 12 round fruits to represent each month of the year. In the Philippines, people eat 13, which is considered a lucky number.
  • Smash pomegranates. In Ancient Greece, pomegranates were viewed as a symbol of abundance and luck. On new years eve people were seen smashing pomegranates outside their doors to bring good luck to the new year. The more pomegranate seeds spilled in the smash, the more luck you’ll have for the new year.
  • In Denmark, they break plates this tradition is done to ward off malevolent spirits and is symbolic of a fresh start to the new year.
  • Preparing mochi, which is a Japanese rice cake, on New Year’s is symbolic of renewal and is seen to bring about blessings for the year.
  • Grab some bread and bang the bread against the walls. The Irish believe that doing so wards off malevolent spirits and brings abundance to the coming year.
  • Danish tradition includes standing on the chair and “jumping” into the new year at midnight. It’s also believed that if you forget, it’s bad luck. ( I do this one every year)

The New Year and Duality

Since, I am a grey witch I look for the duality in every single energy I work with including sacred times like New year’s eve. I have always loved New Year’s Eve for it’s duality. It’s a time of reflection for me and a time to set my intentions for the new year. It’s a time to reflect on the past while looking towards the hope of the future ahead. It’s a time to not just look at what I want to change and let go of but, to congratulate myself for the all the mountains I climbed. It’s a time when I take a look at what worked from the past year and what didn’t. I am reminded of the constant ebb and flow in life, the constant change, and how to live in the balance of liminal transformation as one chapter ends and a new one begins.

Correspondences for the New year’s

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy, the zodiac energy the moon is currently or for A holiday or sacred time like the calendar New year. I will list below for you to use. Remember this is not an all encompassing list and there may be other correspondences to use. Just follow your intuition and use what calls to you.

Ways to work with the energy of New years

However you choose to work with the New year’s eve magic and energies make sure to follow your intuition where it leads you. Make sure you tap into the energies of abundance, renewal, and the closing of one chapter, and the opening of a new one. In your everyday life, you can work with any affirmations, mantras, and visualization work for abundance, new beginnings, endings, reflection, and the changing of the calendar year. Let’s take a look at some of the many different ways you can magical work with the energy of New year’s eve.

Imagine and set your New year SMART goals

One of the number one ways to celebrate new years eve is to sit down, let your imagination run wild and think of all the biggest and wildest goals you wish to set for the year ahead. This is the eve when you are observing the calendar year that you can really think big, let the walls down and don’t think about what you can’t have but, come from a mindset of abundance and focus on what you can have. But, don’t forget to not only let your imagination run with your goals but take the time to set them in a specific way by making them SMART goals. If you have been with me the last year I have written about SMART goals many times, but I do so because using this method changed how I was able to take those goals in my imagination and bring them to life. To learn all about SMART goals and how to set them this New Year’s eve head over to my guide here now!

Visualization

Visualization is great way to set intentions for the new year. This is going to be the practice I am really intentionally committing to this New years eve and all 2026 long. I’ve come to learn with my manifestation work in the past year just speaking things out loud is not enough. I must see myself already having what I want in my hands. So, close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by all of the things you want to manifest in the new year. Picture yourself living out your dreams, achieving success, and feeling fulfilled by all that you have accomplished. Hold onto this image as you move forward into the new year, knowing that it will come true if you put in the effort and stay focused on your goals.

Cast protection spells

New Year’s Eve is a liminal time where the energies around us are more susceptible to change. As we look upon a new year full of possibilities and opportunities, it is important to start off the right way. Protecting ourselves, our family, and our space is something essential to do before we commence into the new year. A New Year’s Eve Protection Spell can be a powerful tool to keep us safe and supported as we let go of the old year and prepare for the future. So cast those protection spells this New Year’s eve to protect you home, your family, and your life all year long. Ps. don’t forget to cleanse yourself, your tools, and your space as well before you cast your protection spells.

Reflection through Shadow work

Remember how New years eve is a liminal time. It is time when we are sitting on the edge of change and transformation. In order to move onto the next stage of evolution and change that we are greeting in the new year ahead we must first look back. We must look at the highest heights we reached and lowest depths we sank to down deep. We must decide what we want take from one chapter into the next and what we wish to leave behind. The best way to do this for me is through shadow work. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here;  you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.

Release work spells

As we go into the new year ahead with hope for a bright future we have to make sure we have left the things we no longer need in the past. One way to do this is to make sure we energetically and magically release the things from the past year. One of my favorite ways to do this on New year’s eve is to write down the things I wish to release. The patterns in the past year that no longer serve me and I no longer wish to repeat. Along with the blockages I met during the past year to align with the correct energies to manifest all of my goals being met. Once I write them down I wait until the clock strikes 12 then I read them out loud and burn them in fire to release the blockage from life. To no longer carry any of that into my new chapter of life.

Abundance and good luck spells

With a New calendar year unfolding before us on New Year’s Eve this is a day we can set ourselves up for a long and prosperous year ahead. We can tap into that unlimited potential this magical unknown year has for us. There are countless different traditions you can do like some we talked about above from around the earthy realm that will bring in abundance and good luck. Along with just as many spells. One really poplar one I like is to place a bowl of coins outside my threshold. When you return home for the first time in the new year (perhaps after a late-night party),bless them for everything you want in the new year to come. To get more ideas for abundance and good luck spells head over to my Pinterest where I have many or check out my abundance guide and my guide all about Thursdays magic.

This spell is my favorite one to do every single New Year’s Eve. It masters the liminal space and energy of change on the night, the magic and mastery of time to bring in a very abundant, vibrant, and magical life in 2025.

Shortly before midnight on New year’s eve Grab 12 candles, I prefer to use white or green, 12 coins, and an herb bundle made of rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaves. Take your candles and set them on the floor in front of in a circle to mimic a clock and place one coin under each candle. Then get yourself into sacred container while you focus on what it is you want to manifest in the next year ahead. Once you feel you have a clear vision in your head and your intent is set, sit with it until the clock strikes midnight. Once the you hear the clock chime, start lighting each candle in your circle starting at the top aka 12 o’clock and going clockwise until all 12 candles are lit. Don’t forget to focus on your intention you are setting for the year ahead as you light each candle in your magical clock. Once this is done go around your entire home and smoke cleanse your space bringing in your most abundant year yet. Let the candles burn until they go out on their own or if you are not comfortable with that for safety reasons burn them for 12 minutes for each candle and then blow them out by 1 as the time is met.

Set your eyes high on your highest goals, reflect on the past year to release blockages, reset your life, and protect your family, yourself, and your home. The new year comes with this magical potential in the air swirling all around us, that anything is imaginable in the coming year. With the start of a new cycle upon us, we have a portal of possibility to start fresh, redefine our lives, and cast our vision for the life we choose to live this coming year.

Working with the Hindu Mother goddess of Abundance, sovereignty, and Beauty; Lakshmi

As one of the Great Mother goddesses, Lakshmi guides us from the darkness to the light. She helps us move from a mindset rooted in fear and lack into a mindset of love, abundance, and generosity. The Goddess Lakshmi is a beautiful Hindu goddess and one of the most prominent and worshipped one of the pantheon on top of that. She is one of the many forms of shakti or feminine energy. Lakshmi provides all kinds of abundance, such as wealth, happiness, beauty, and splendor. She gives, protects and nourishes. She holds the promise of material fulfilment and contentment. She is described as restless, and whimsical yet maternal full of boundless love. She is seen with her arms raised to bless and to grant those who put in the work. Lakshmi shows us how to transcend material wealth for spiritual progress. She is also the goddess of power, sovereignty, and helping lord Vishnu grant salvation. Lakshmi is the divine power and creative force of the universe that transforms dreams into reality. She is prakriti, the perfect creation: self-sustaining, self-contained Nature. She is maya, the delightful delusion, the dream-like expression of divinity that makes life comprehensible, full of beauty and truly worth living. She is shakti, energy, boundless, bountiful and overflowing with fertilty. To work with her is to rejoice in the wonders, beauty, and abundance of life. We call on Lakshmi to access the ocean of abundance that lies within, to find our radiant inner beauty, and to guide us on the path of our dharma. Join me in this blogpost, allowing Lakshmi to open the doors for you to a life brimming with prosperity, fulfillment, and over flowing with the glittering coins from her hands with divine grace and beauty.

Who is Lakshmi?

Lakshmi is one of the most important deities in Hinduism. She is considered the household goddess, meaning she is the most important deity to the family unit and home. She, is always present in the home and is worshiped daily. Her name comes from the word Laksya, meaning aim or goal. She is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual. She is not only the goddess of prosperity, wealth, but also purity, generosity, and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. She is the wife of Vishnu. It is said she has taken different forms in order to be with him in each of his incarnations. Another important aspect about her is along with the goddesses Parvati and Saraswati, Lakshmi forms the divine trinity known as the Tridevi.

Lakshmi has many, many names as well. Her many epithets and names are listed below:

  • Padma: lotus dweller
  • Kamala: lotus dweller
  • Padmapriya: One who likes lotuses
  • Padmamaladhara devi: One who wears a garland of lotuses
  • Padmamukhi: One whose face is as beautiful as a lotus
  • Padmakshi: One whose eyes are as beautiful as a lotus
  • Padmahasta: One who holds a lotus
  • Padmasundari: One who is as beautiful as a lotus
  • Vishnupriya: One who is the beloved of Vishnu
  • Ulkavahini: One who rides an owl

Even more names of her are: Manushri, Chakrika, Kamalika, Lalima, Kalyani, Nandika, Rujula, Vaishnavi, Samruddhi, Narayani, Bhargavi, Sridevi, Chanchala, Jalaja, Madhavi, Sujata, Shreya and Aiswarya. She is also referred to as Jaganmaatha (‘Mother of the Universe’) in Shri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam. Rama and Indira are popular

Maha-Lakshmi- Mother goddess of creation

There are many different forms that Lakhsmi takes and is worshipped as each with their own unique purpose and energy. One of the most popular ones is when she is Maha-Lakshmi. Lakshmi is often differentiated from Maha-Lakshmi. While the former is the consort of Vishnu and the goddess of wealth, Maha-Lakshmi is viewed as an autonomous entity, the supreme embodiment of the mother-goddess. When worshipped as Maha-Lakshmi, Lakshmi is not visualized as a beautiful goddess seated on a lotus, pot in hand, but like a virginal warrior-goddess riding a lion, much like Durga.

Ancient Pancharatra texts that talk about Maha-Lakshmi consider her to be the root of all creation. In the beginning, they say, the cosmic soul—the unfathomable unmanifest Narayana—desired to create the cosmos. But he did not have the resources to do so. As he pondered over this problem, his dormant energy, his shakti, burst forth in a blinding light, manifesting as Maha-Lakshmi. Maha-Lakshmi placed the seed of divine desire in the palm of her hand and unleashed the dynamic forces of creation until the three worlds took shape and all forms of life came forth.

Lakshmi the goddess of abundance

Lakshmi embodies the abundance of nature and people celebrate her to invite the wealth of fertile lands. She is the embodiment of prosperity, her allure drawing souls like moths to a celestial flame. With eyes like lotus petals and a smile that births a thousand blessings, she dances upon golden lotus blooms. Her presence brings abundance; her touch turns poverty into opulence. Wherever Lakshmi treads, wealth follows, and her devotees that show true respect will thrive.

Lakshmi inspires us to contemplate the double meaning of abundance – abundance in the material realm and abundance in the spiritual realm. Lakshmi doesn’t tell us to let go of our aspirations and ambitions. It’s the opposite actually, Lakshmi is the one we pray to for guidance and help when we want to succeed in the material world. When we want abundance in the form of worldly success. Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity, but earned prosperity. Lakshmi is on the side of the honest, good, and hard working. Lakshmi teaches us that good luck doesn’t come to those who wait, but to those who work for it and invite it into their lives by positive and hard working actions. We all have the ability to connect to the natural flow of abundance but, we must put in the movement of energy to get there.

The eight forms of Lakshmi

In Hinduism, Lakshmi is believed to have eight forms or manifestations, known as the Ashtalakshmi. Each form represents a different aspect of wealth, prosperity, and well-being. Each of these eight forms of Lakshmi is revered and worshipped in Hinduism for the blessings they bring in various aspects of life. The eight forms of Lakshmi are listed below.

  • Adi Lakshmi – The first form of Lakshmi, Adi Lakshmi, represents the primal energy of the universe and is associated with spiritual wealth.
  • Dhana Lakshmi – This form of Lakshmi is associated with material wealth and prosperity, and is often depicted holding a pot of gold or other treasures.
  • Dhanya Lakshmi – Dhanya Lakshmi is the goddess of agricultural wealth and is associated with crops, food, and nourishment.
  • Gaja Lakshmi – This form of Lakshmi is associated with power, strength, and courage. Gaja Lakshmi is often depicted riding on an elephant and holding lotus flowers.
  • Santana Lakshmi – Santana Lakshmi is the goddess of progeny and is associated with fertility, motherhood, and children.
  • Veera Lakshmi – This form of Lakshmi represents valor, bravery, and courage. Veera Lakshmi is often depicted holding a sword and shield.
  • Vidya Lakshmi – Vidya Lakshmi is the goddess of knowledge and wisdom, and is associated with learning, education, and the arts.
  • Vijaya Lakshmi – This form of Lakshmi is associated with victory, success, and accomplishment. Vijaya Lakshmi is often depicted holding a lotus flower and a sword, symbolizing success and determination.

Lakshmi the goddess of sovereignty

In Hinduism, Goddess Lakshmi is often associated with sovereignty, meaning she is considered the giver of not just wealth and prosperity, but also royal power and authority. This has made her a revered figure by kings and rulers who sought her blessings for their reign for 1000s of years. In this role she is known as Shreedevi, this is when the goddess makes kings out of men, bestowing them with sovereignty, splendor and royal authority. In this form, she is Vishnu’s shakti, the source of his divine power, which helps him to protect the universe by granting and handing out his salvation.

Lakshmi the goddess of beauty

Only Goddess Lakshmi is depicted as the epitome of beauty in Hindu scriptures because she is the most beautiful goddess according to all. No one is equal to her. She is the source of all beauty. Everyone gets beauty by her grace. She is viewed as not only the goddess of beauty, but also sweetness, purity and loveliness. Her grace and beauty made her into a beacon of light, attracting gods and demons alike. Radiating feminine warmth and love, she was so full of abundance and exquisite beauty. When Lakshmi emerged from the churning and milky ocean, all of the gods fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. They couldn’t take their eyes off her. One by one, they even started to court her and use all their fancy superpowers to try and seduce her until she finally chose her husband Lord Vishnu.

Family and Origin

Like most deities of Hindu mythology, Lakshmi’s origin story has many different versions. In her first incarnation, according to the Puranas, she was the daughter of the sage Bhrigu and his wife Khyati. Next, probably the best-known version featuring her birth, says she was born from the stirring of the primordial milky ocean by the gods and demons. It starts with a battle between “good” (the gods) and “evi”l (the demons). Lakshmi supported Indra, the god of war, in his battle against the demons. He successfully fought them off with her blessing until one day Indra was given a garland of flowers by a sage. He was not interested in the flowers and flung them aside. Lakshmi did not approve of this arrogant display so she left the gods’ world and entered the Milky Ocean.

After she left, the gods started to be less successful in most of their pursuits. People stopped making the offerings and the demons started to take over the world. Especially Indra needed Lakshmi’s blessing and support. He knew he was to blame for the problems after all. He went to Vishnu to ask for guidance. Vishnu and Indra gathered the gods together and they started to churn the Milky Ocean. After 1000 years, treasures began to rise, including an immortality elixir and lakshmi on her lotus. She helped restore the gods’ power and success in vanquishing the demons and restore the people’s reverence towards the gods.

Myths and legends

Lakshmi is present in quite a few myths and legends across multiple texts, religions and regions I couldn’t list them all. I talk about a few of the main ones throughout the blogpost. But, one of my favorite stories of Lakshmi personifies an attitude of generosity, compassion, and empathy. As the story goes, Lakshmi and her husband Vishnu were the manifest deities at a wealthy temple for the high-caste in Varanasi, India. One year, during the festival of Diwali, Lakshmi decided to visit the town’s untouchables ( less fortunate/ homeless) and bestow the untouchables ( less fortunate/ homeless) with food and money. Her generosity extended to both those who worshipped her and those who did not. A beautiful reminder that we are all worthy, whether we (or others) deem us to be worthy. Upon learning that Lakshmi has been spending time with the untouchables( less fortunate/ homeless), Vishnu becomes angry with her. She immediately flees and goes to live with a group of sweepers. Upon Lakshmi’s arrival, the sweeper community begins to prosper, there is an abundance of food and there is enough money for the sweepers to fix-up their homes. While the sweepers are being lifted up out of poverty Vishnu’s temple is falling into ruins, the community stops bringing offerings, and the surrounding trees begin to wither. Out of desperation, Vishnu finds Lakshmi and begs her to return. She obliges on one condition, that he may never restrict her ability to share her blessings again.

Worship of Lakshmi

Lakshmi has a long history of worship testified by the fact that her first hymn, the Shri Shukta, was added to the Rig Veda, the oldest and most revered of Hindu scriptures, somewhere between 1000 and 500 BC. People often worship Lakshmi at home for good luck in India and other regions of the world. In India, not only Hindus but also Buddhists and Jains worship and call too Lakshmi. Lakshmi is especially popular with women when it comes to her worship. She is thought to bless mothers seeking children and extending her maternal love. It is believed that Lakshmi goes only to those houses which are clean and where the people are hardworking. She does not visit the places which are unclean/dirty or where the people are lazy. When she is worshipped on her own, it is as the goddess of prosperity and luck; when she is worshipped with Vishnu, (her husband) it is in her role as mediator between us and him by handing out salvation.

Goddess Lakshmi’s Day; Friday
Fridays hold a place of significance in Hindu tradition as the chosen day to honor and invoke the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Known as “Shukravar” in Sanskrit, Fridays are dedicated to this revered deity who symbolizes wealth, fortune, and prosperity, When we perform rituals and practices on Fridays it is believed it creates a special connection with Lakshmi’s energy. Amplifying the potency of their intentions by her guiding us into the flow of abundance with her grace. This emphasis on Fridays as Lakshmi’s day underlines her role as the bestower of material abundance and spiritual well-being, making it an opportune time to seek her blessings.

Diwali

The festival of Diwali is the main festival dedicated to honoring her, though for many she is worshipped daily and all year round. Diwali, also known as Deepavali, or Deepawali, it is a festival that holds a profound place in the heart of Lakshmi’s worship. Diwali, at it’s heart, celebrates the victory of light over darkness, “good over evil”, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is typically celebrated over a period of five days, following the darkest day of the month after the new moon. Each day of the five day festival has its own significance and rituals.

Diwali celebrates the story and myth of the Ramayana in which Sita (an incarnation of Lakshmi) is stolen from Lord Rama by the demon Ravana. After the epic battle in which Rama won Sita back, the people lit candles along their path home to guide the way. So during Diwali, people light candles to guide Lakshmi into their homes. So, that she will bless them with good fortune in the upcoming year. Diwali is a time of profound significance and delightful customs. Families come together for prayer, feasting, and the exchange of blessings, while the night sky comes alive with fireworks, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. I personally have celebrated this festival every year for the past 4 years. Every year those lights end up guiding in so much abundance no matter where my finances are at, they drastically increases after those nights. Two days before Diwali the festival of Dhantares also celebrates Lakshmi. People start new businesses and buy gold.

What does Lakshmi look like?

She is typically seated on an 8-petaled lotus. Lakshmi has four arms, each one signifying a transformative quality in human life:

  • The first arm symbolizes dharma – living a moral and ethical life in accordance with cosmic laws.
  • The second arm symbolizes .
  • The third stands for artha – material, natural abundance.
  • The fourth arm represents moksha – self-actualization.

In two of her hands, she is holding 2 lotuses, and in the other 2 hands, she is creating 2 mudras: abhaya (assurance) mudra and varada (giving) mudra. She is usually dressed in red or gold. She has long wavy hair. Often two elephants are by her side, anointing her with water. Cascades of gold coins are seen flowing from her hands, suggesting that those who worship her gain wealth.

The way she is depicted matters on which incarnation of her she is meant to represent. Like if Lakshmi is pictured as dark in complexion, it is to show that she is the consort of Vishnu. If golden yellow, that shows her as the source of all wealth. If white, she represents the purest form of Prakarti (nature) from which the universe had developed. The pinkish complexion, which is more common, reflects her compassion for creatures, since she is the mother of all. The lotuses, in various stages of blooming, represent the worlds and beings in various stages of evolution.

Lakshmi and duality

Since I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look at how it can help me maintain balance and how it can represent the cosmic energy of duality. Many may overlook the duality of Lakshmi because, she is seen mainly as a mother goddess of “light” being the goddess of abundance, beauty, and prosperity. But, there is a duality aspect of her written about directly in sacred texts. The Vaishnava legends claim that Alakshmi the twin of Lakshmi is the embodiment of Halahala. She is the goddess of misfortune and strife. When both Goddesses are known in balanced measure, there is sobriety and Tantric focus between the dualities in our lives. Understanding the wisdom of the balance between wealth and poverty is the key to the door of true abundance and wealth in our lives. Lakshmi and her older sister help us to live within and understand the place of both within the universe and life.

How To Know Lakshmi Is Calling To Work With You

I get asked this question every time I write or teach about a goddess. Remember, signs and messages appear in many different ways and are unique to the individual. It’s ultimately up to you to discern by opening up your clares, paying attention and listening to your intuition. Also, remember you can choose to work with her as well even if you don’t feel her calling to you. You can be the one to begin building that relationship by reaching out. Below is a list of some ways that you may know she is reaching out to you.

Ways To Work With and Connect To Lakshmi

Everyone’s relationship with deities is different and we all work with and believe in them differently. You might believe in multiple gods and goddesses and work with them each as though they are close, personal friends. Or maybe you believe the old gods are reflections of Universal energy and simply archetype energies that you can learn a lesson from. However you incorporate deities in your practice is up to you. If you need help to figure this out you can purchase my eBook here on the Introduction to working with pagan deities.

But here are some ideas to get you started on ways to work with Lakshmi. Remember; it’s important to approach her with respect, reverence, gratitude and by building a relationship with her. Every time you work with a deity it is an even energetic exchange; which means what you put into your intention when working with them and building your relationship to them is what you get back.

Study, get to know her

As with every deity I have ever written about or taught about, The first way to get to know a deity, specifically a goddess like Lakshmi; is to study all you can about her. Look at the different versions of her origin, and how when she was born every deity fell in love with her. Even study and learn about her dear husband, Lord Vishnu she loves so much she follows him life after life. Try to understand all the different versions of her you can connect to for every area of abundance in your life. You can even, study the culture, region, and worship of the people of India where she is from. Plus the religions she helps shapes in many different texts like Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The more you study and learn the better! When working with a deity it is all about building a true relationship with them and you do this first by getting to know who they are.

Lakshmi Puja (Ritual)
One of the number one ways you can connect to Lakshmi is to carry out a Lakshmi puja, a goddess-honoring ceremony. The purpose of Lakshmi Puja is to honor the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi, and to seek her blessings for good fortune and success. Lakshmi Puja is a central ritual during Diwali, the festival of lights, and is considered essential to the celebration. See a break down of how to do this ritual below.

  • Arranging a special altar with a statue or portrait of Lakshmi and symbolic gifts such jewels, flowers, sweets, and gold coins.
  • pre-ritual washing and dressing in clean clothing.
  • Ghee lamp or white candle lighting.
  • Offering the goddess food, flowers, and incense.
  • Reciting other religious songs or the Lakshmi mantra.
  • Exiting the puja feeling appreciative and respectful.

Chant her name or sing her mantras

Engaging in a regular chanting practice of the Lakshmi mantra requires dedication and focus. Find a quiet and peaceful space where you can sit comfortably. Begin by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself, and then softly and rhythmically chant the mantra. Allow your voice to flow naturally, and let the vibrations resonate within you. As you chant, visualize the energy of abundance and prosperity flowing into your life, guided by the benevolent presence of Goddess Lakshmi. Consistency is key; integrating this practice into your routine can lead to a deeper connection with Lakshmi’s energy and a more profound sense of prosperity consciousness.

Chanting Lakshmi mantras is not just a vocal exercise; it’s a spiritual practice that bridges the gap between the practitioner and the divine energy of abundance. As the mantra flows through your being, it recalibrates your vibrational frequency to resonate with Lakshmi’s blessings. This practice becomes a powerful tool to invite wealth and prosperity into your life while fostering a deeper connection with the goddess’s energy.

You can chant her name or sing a mantra to her, like this one: Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Svaha

  • Om is the sound of the universe– the beginning, middle and end. This epic sound which starts many chants as it recognizes the divinity (starting with Ganesh- click here to see why) and is the bij mantra of the Crown Chakra
  • shreem is Lakshmi’s bij mantra and is also associated with the the Third Eye Chakra
  • maha is a heart-felt term of endearment and reverence
  • yei is a shakti activating syllable
  • svaha marks the end of a mantra and literally means “well said” in a fire ceremony (havan), small grains (samagri) are thrown into the fire with the word svaha at end of each mantra

It’s recommended that you chant it at least 108 times using a mala

Acts of kindness and charity

One way to align with her energy is by practicing acts of kindness and charity. Just as Lakshmi’s blessings are meant to be shared, offering assistance to those in need becomes a way to honor her and create a cycle of abundance. Engaging in philanthropic endeavors and sharing your wealth – whether material or emotional – not only benefits others but also channels the flow of Lakshmi’s blessings back to you.

  • Volunteer your time at a local charity
  • Perform a random act of kindness to a stranger
  • Ask a colleague if they need any help
  • Donate money to a cause you care about
  • Check-in on a friend going through a hard time
  • Turn your phone off and have a proper conversation with a loved one
  • Offer to walk the dog or cook a meal for a struggling neighbor
  • Donate some unwanted items to a local charity store
  • Make your family’s favorite meal for dinner tonight
  • Next time you go to the cinema, let your partner/friend choose the movie
  • Give someone an unexpected (but sincere) compliment
  • Make a gift or card for the next birthday in your calendar
  • Offer to teach a skill you have for free
  • Give someone you care about a shoulder rub

Ask for her aid in Abundance, wealth, and fertility spells

One of the main energies Lakshmi guides us to connect with is the ocean of abundance we have access to all around us. So, why not call on her to aid you in boosting your abundance, wealth, and fertility spells. There are many different ways you can do this. From invoking her in your circle as you cast, carving a sigil that represents her into your candles, using her correspondences and symbols, or saying a prayer from her before you do your spell work. There are countless abundance spells you can cast and do to get some ideas check out my guide full of them here. My personal favorite to include her in is adding her image to my prosperity bowl in my home and for my business. When I began asking her to aid in my abundance spells the amount of coins flowing into my life was drastically multiplied and so many new things and projects began to bloom.

Call on Lakshmi during shadow work

Just like with every other deity I have ever written or taught about shadow work is a phenomenal way to connect to and work with the goddess Lakshmi. This might not seem obvious to many especially since she is seen more as a deity of “light”. But, I really love to call on Lakshmi when I am needing help in boosting my self worth and seeing the beauty in myself. On top of that she is great to use when you are having a hard time seeing the beauty around you and in your life. Lastly, you can call on her to help you understand why you may be having a hard time connecting to the generous flow of abundance in life . Doing this can have a profound change in the intentions you set and the manifestations you can have bloom into your life.

Dedicate Altar Space

Set aside some space in honor of Lakshmi. This can be an elaborate large altar or as simple as a small shelf or corner of a counter. Place a representation of Lakshmi there; be sure to cleanse the space before you invite her in. Include all of her colors, her symbols, and representations of abundance and beauty. Plus add any of her other correspondences you can use to connect to her. This will be a container that reminds you to connect with her and her energy. To allow you a container of maternal abundant, successful, and beautiful energy to connect to in your life. I also recommned if you are really needing abundance in your life add her to an altar specifically for abundance or place her altar in your place of business as well.

Offerings

Everyone loves receiving gifts, and that includes deities like Lakshmi. You don’t have to give her offerings every day, but when you feel it is appropriate. I highly recommend gifting them on Friday. You can place these offerings at your altar. You can also give her offerings when performing any work to connect to her like meditation, prayer, visualization, and spell work. Below I will list some of the best offerings you can give her, but keep in mind these are just some ideas from my own personal experience with her and her corresponding energies. Just follow your intuition.

  • Flowers: Flowers like lotus, marigold, rose, chrysanthemum, bael leaves and Hibiscus
  • Fruits
  • Sweets: Homemade sweets like laddoos or barfis represent joy and sweetness. Rice kheer is considered a favorite of Lakshmi.
  • Puffed rice and batasha:
  • Coins: Gold and silver coins
  • Uncooked rice
  • Diyas
  • Honey
  • Betel leaves
  • Jaggery: Offered if lotus flowers are not available.
  • Amla: Also known as Indian gooseberry
  • Incense
  • Jasmine oil

Meditation and visualization

One of the best ways to channel divine energy and tap into goddesses like Lakshmi is through meditation and visualization. These practices allow you to open up and receive/ connect to divine energy in a very intuitive, clear, and transformative way. You will find a plethora of guided meditations on YouTube that will lead you to your spirit guide or god/goddess. Try those if you have a hard time meditating on your own. I have many classes on YouTube as well on previous deities you can watch where I even summon and guide you to them in sacred container.

Prayer

One very powerful way to connect to a deity is through prayer. Things to Pray for: abundance, beauty, love, prosperity, wealth, gratitude, success in business, spiritual awakening, fertility for a child, aid in motherhood, and self worth. Below are a few prayers I like to use but, you can find many across texts and the internet plus you can always create your own.

Beautiful goddess seated on a chariot,
Delighted by songs on lustful elephants,
Bedecked with lotuses, pearls and gems,
Lustrous as fire, radiant as gold,
Resplendent as the sun, calm as the moon,
Mistress of cows and horses —
Take away poverty and misfortune
Bring joy, riches, harvest and children.

Prayer Of Gratitude

Maha Lakshmi I thank you for the growing sense of abundance flowing through, for the richness of the earth and clarity of the winds cleansing my soul from within.

Sri Ganesh, may I continue to seek your guidance, give honor and praise to insurmountable obstacles which help me to release, trust and grow. May I always honor the goddess within and give glory and thanks to my divine mother and father.

And as I rise to greet a new day, may I always remember the source of my abundance and wealth flows from deep within and no man or material resource can hinder this progress of peace, love and joy. And So It Is.

Why work with Lakshmi?

Our ability to give and receive freely depends deeply on our own personal beliefs that we are worthy of love, worthy of gifts, and that others too are worthy of these same gifts. Lakshmi helps us learn these lessons. Lakshmi really is a deity of deep abundance as well. She has saved my life and my family more times than I can count. She does this by reconnecting me to the flow of abundance we all have the right too. If only we put in to work and we remember we are worthy to receive it all. Whenever I find myself getting stuck in feelings of fear of not having enough or lack I can feel the Universe pulling back. To the point of taking so much from me I would almost end up on the streets. But when I call on Lakshmi to help me drop back into the space of abundance, gratitude, and worthiness, I feel the support of the Universe, and her guide me back to the current of abundance. Allowing me access to the flow of coins she controls in her hands.

As I have shown you in this blogpost, Lakshmi offers a route to spiritual fulfillment and overall well-being that goes beyond the domain of material wealth. Through an awareness of her energy and worship of her complex personality, we can access the transforming potential of her gifts and apply them to our everyday lives. The goddess Lakshmi inspires and leads us on our path toward abundance, balance, and the ultimate realization of the divine inside. Whether we recite her mantras, ask for her assistance in our spell work, or embody her attributes. As we welcome her brilliance, may we too turn into the energy of her unending kindness, generosity, and elegance.

A fundamental pillar of Paganism is working with the deities that one believes in. While all practicing Pagans have varying beliefs about the gods and goddesses, most agree that honoring their deities is a great way to connect with them and further their spiritual goals. But, again remember not every pagan works with deities. Also remember there are literally thousands of different deities out there in the multiverse and which ones you choose to honor will often depend significantly upon what pantheon your spiritual path follows. This eBook will walk you thru the different ways to view deities, what a deity can be, and the basics to start building a deep meaningful relationship with one.
