Every day, we see things around us that affect how we think. Advertisements tell us we should go on a fun vacation or get a new car. They say we need new items like clothes or decorations for our homes. They encourage us to change things, make them look better, and buy more new things.

We see so many of these images that we rarely think about them except when we grumble that they interrupt our program. Flash images, well-spoken words, and just the right intoxicating voice and tune plant them in our minds. It’s how spells work.

Rituals

Most of us don’t believe in magic. No, they wouldn’t do magical spells for protection since those things are silly, right? But how many people take their children to be baptized? They drip some special water on the soft forehead. It’s a ritual, I know. There are many rituals. They soothe us and remind us of who we are. They are good as long as we are their keepers, not dictated by rules.

Spell for Self-Love

Self-love is the best love, right?

Items: Small bottle, rose petals, lavender, and a self-love mantra.

Process: Fill the bottle with rose petals and lavender. Seal it while reciting your self-love mantra.

Closure: Keep the bottle somewhere close to remind yourself daily that you’re awesome.

What it is

Magic is about power and influence. No one has a superhero to call or an angel on speed dial. There’s an image, a fragrance, phrases, and sometimes music.

Prayers and Blessings

Namaste, have a good day. I’ll pray for you, and you’re in my thoughts. There are different ways of wishing good for others.

What makes it kick? Feel it. So, put some love behind the smile and wish that coworker a wonderful day.

Namaste. Blessings to you and your people today.
