Bachelorette Blessing Ritual

Rituals together are a great way to build energy and set intention.  I crafted this ritual to help support a friend through the transition into her new life, to bless us and celebrate our time and connection together.

Begin by setting up your alter.  Bring offerings of flowers, bread, fruit, chocolate, etc. In addition to what you normally place on your alter have a candle for each person, salt, water and incense, Palo Santo or sage, and a lighter.  You can also have paper and something to write with to burn fears and things you would like to let go of in the fire, we wrote these things down before the ritual and had the paper with us but you could do it once you've called circle as well.

I brought canning jars with lids for the water so each person would have their own and be able to take it with them. I also placed crystals in the jars and it rained right before so I collected some rain water.  If you were near a natural source of water you could use that too. The crystals I used:  Rose Quartz: encourage unconditional love, openings heart, self-love, deep inner healing and peace. Turmalated Quartz: grounding and deflection of negative energy.  Ruby: increase passion and love, finding bliss, adventure.  Garnet:  Grounding, love and relationships. Moonstone: inner growth and strength. Sooth emotions, success and good fortune. Labradorite: Transformation, companion through change, protection. Rainbow Tourmaline:   Cleanse, balance and strengthen love centre, purify heart.  Malachite: stone of transformation, protection.

Gather your group and begin to call your circle, you can smudge each person as they walk into the circle if you like.  If you have a fire you can set up around the fire.  Face the direction as you call.  You can also do this ritual alone.

Light Palo Santo, Sage or incense:  Air reflects our creativity, spirituality, and inspiration, have someone in the group smudge each person or if you're doing it alone smudge yourself with the sweet smell and spend a moment contemplating the aspects of air.

Light a candle or look to the fire:  Fire reflects our relationships, protection, ideas and achievement, spend a moment contemplating these aspects of fire.  This would be the time to write down fears and things you would like to let go of and throw them into the fire.

Open your jar of water:  Water reflects our emotions, intuition, dream states and healing, smudge the water and spend a moment contemplating the aspects of water.

Take a handful of salt and place it in the water:  Salt represents Earth which reflects our practicality, knowledge, sacred wisdom and growth.

Stir realizing you are combining the elements that create life itself.  Consider the balance of the elements and the magic that you would like to create in your life.

You may save the mixture and dab a little on your third-eye every day for a few days as reminder.  You may pour the mixture in your bath for a gentle energizer.  You may return the mixture to the earth by pouring it on soil or sand (reminder plants don’t thrive in salt).   Sprinkle throughout your home to seal in positive energies and protection.

So mote it be!
