Ritual

Can you feel them? Wild creatures linked by the very blood you will spill into your craft. A ritual of dedication to self and those whose gazes hold fire but whose whispers carry you softly through the unknown.

Dedication, harnessing

Ritual is the very foundation of a witch’s practice. It is the doorway to worlds unseen and a rite of passage. It is the deliberate honoring of the wise ones who’ve walked before us, the spiritual ones who watch over us. It is also a dedication to the self, a place where you can find yourself in your practice and harness the power within.

Ritual is a dedication to your craft, and is about you showing up for things that are essential to you – be it going to work, organising your kids or hitting the gym. Spiritual rituals are no different. If anything, they are even more critical than the day-to-day stuff of life.

It is important to take time to honor your magic and the magic of those you call upon. By doing so you are making a choice. If you have pulled Ritual, it is because you are being drawn to honor your magic in a more profound way. You are being asked to explore your power as a witch truly and to find the proper time and energy to develop your craft. Making time to honor each step of ritual magic through intention is like sending out a beacon saying ‘I’m here and ready to own my power as a witch’. The powers that be will notice your efforts and begin to give you more power as a reward.

When Ritual comes to you in reverse, it is because too much of any good thing can be a bad thing. This is especially true if you are performing rituals on autopilot or for the sake of saying you did it. There’s a difference in your magic when you do a ritual because you believe in it rather than doing it out of obligation. If you are not fully invested in your magic it won’t be as powerful or effective.
