new year ritual

reminder to burn up the unwanted inefficiency's of this past year in the fire of transformation. sweeping the ashes of the old year out to clear room for the fresh potential of intentional growth. completing the receptivity of the new manifestation of the new year by taking the new you into being.

a simple ritual to achieve this spell includes:

• cast a circle, honor the directions
• a speaking, naming or writing of the unwanted of this past year
• the burning of the writing/drawing or of sacred herbs or resins to allow for the ritual of release and transformation of the unwanted 
• the traditional sweeping of the ashes out of your circle, can be actual ashes or the movement of clearing 
• a speaking, naming or writing/drawing of the intentions for this new year 
• then taking into yourself the new way of being by drinking a celebratory libation
• honor the directions and close the circle
