Notes from Morning Rituals for the Busy Witch by Mickie Mueller, pages 11 – 14 in the Llewellyn 2024 planner…
A morning ritual can set the tone for your day. In this article, Mickie shares some simple ways to add magic, beauty and peace to your mornings so that when you head out into the world you feel empowered to meet the day’s challenges and recognize the blessings.
Mickie shares that “a ritual can be any mindful action or series of actions that you repeat to help you connect with the spiritual part of yourself.”
Quick Morning Mindfulness: Spend some time first thing in the morning, either sitting on your bed or while you’re still laying down, to take a few deep breaths and check in with yourself. We feel how we feel so just allow yourself to rest in this space for a moment. After your quick check in you may have a short series of intention statements – something like:
“I have the power to make my day great.
My magic is with me today.
I am shielded from all energy not aligned with me”
You can of course come up with your own statements or personalize this example as needed.
Shower of Power: Water is a cleansing element. It purifies, it heals – not just our bodies, but also our spirits. Shower as usual, as the water pours over you, visualize any stress or lower vibrational energies that you want to release coming out of you and settling on the surface of your skin. If you have trouble with visualization, you can simply say something like “I release yesterday’s stress from my body”.
Now switch the water to cooler or cold water. Let the water wash it all down the drain. Once you feel lighter and unburdened, imagine the water forming a shiny armor all over your body. When you turn off the shower, simply state “I am cleansed and shielded”.
Another simple but powerful ritual is to splash your face with cold water. You can use this to bless yourself by saying
“I bless my eyes and all they see
I bless my ears and all they hear
I bless my mouth and all its words
I bless my nose and every breath
I bless my hands and all they touch
I bless my intuition; may it always guide me true.
Your Magic Mug: Grab your favorite mug. Make sure it’s clean the night before. Use a quartz crystal, or any stone that matches the energy you want to manifest the next day. Place the crystal in your cup overnight and it will adjust the energy of your cup while you sleep. The next morning, REMOVE THE CRYSTAL* from the cup and fill it with your favorite coffee, tea or breakfast beverage.
*Its important to note that some crystals cannot be submerged! So always make sure to remove the crystal from the cup before you fill it with your favorite morning liquids.
My own morning rituals:
Magic Cup: Every morning, I start my day with a cup of hot black coffee.
Annoint and Protect: I dab my favorite oil blend on my inner wrists and put on my power bracelets (these are beaded bracelets I made using Moonstone, Labradorite, Tourmaline, Tiger’s Eye, Rainbow Fluorite, Smokey Quartz, Iolite and Amethyst.) I use these bracelets to transmute the energies I receive as well as meter the energies I send out.
Between the oils and putting on these bracelets that act starts getting my mindset focus.
Maniscripting Journal: I just started this and have found it to be very helpful in setting the intentions for the day. You could do a morning mindfulness journal, or daily gratitude journal – whatever works for you.
Card pull: I do either a 1 card, 3 card or 9 card oracle reading depending on the day, and how the messages are playing out.
Read a Chapter: I sit, and read at least one chapter in a book while I finish my cup of coffee.
Once I’m done with all this, I am ready to start my day.
What small practices, habits and routines do you already do that you can turn into a magical morning ritual?
