💭🕯🌥🍂🥮🌾🍯🌾🥮🍂🌥🕯💭

to bring balance and abundance to you this september season;

Full Moon tonight! Charge your crystals, set out your moon water, and let the full energy of the powerful full moon into you!

1. The law doesn't care how long your parents and family have been out of your life

2. The law doesn't care about your long term friends or "found family"

If you don't have legal documents that say otherwise, your biological family calls all the shots.

Although magic is no substitute for genuine activism, not all of us are able to attend protests, donate money, or even be outspoken about our support. This spell allows you to magically lend your energy to the cause.

What you will need: 

a sheet of white, red, or black paper

a black pen

a protection oil, a protective essential oil like myrrh or rosemary, or salt water

Performing the Ritual:

Write the words “Black Lives Matter” in the center of your paper. As you do so, visualize these words forming a connection between yourself and the protesters who are a part of the movement. 

Draw a circle around the words, moving your pen counterclockwise.

Say: “I cast protection around those protesting on behalf of the Black Lives Matter movement. They are under my protection from anyone who would do them harm or oppose their goals.”

If you work with sigils, runes, or some other kind of magical symbols, feel free to incorporate symbols for protection and power into your circle.

Take a little bit of your oil or salt water on the tip of your index finger and use it to anoint the circle at each of the four cardinal points (north, east, south, west), starting at the top of the circle and moving clockwise.

Say, “May this [oil/salt] protect those protesting on behalf of the Black Lives Matter movement. May it shield them from harm and surround them with a wall of protection and light.”

Focus your energy on the paper, and visualize the protests going on around the country right now. Focus on sending your energy to those protests to protect and support those participating.

I’m a Reiki practitioner, so when I did this spell I also incorporated a distance Reiki session to send Reiki energy to those protesting, and to add an extra layer of protection. If you practice any kind of energy work, that would be a beautiful thing to incorporate into this spell. 

If you worship any deities associated with justice, feel free to call on them during this ritual. 

Finally, if you have an altar, fold up your paper and place it on your altar once you finish the spell. Keeping the paper in a sacred space will allow it to keep receiving energy, and you can come back to pray for/send energy to protesters again in the future. 

What to do next

If you can, donate to organizations that contribute to the cause, like Black Visions Collective, Reclaim the Block, or a similar local organization. 

If you can’t donate, raise awareness on social media and in real life. (For my fellow white folks: try to focus on sharing stories from POC, rather than talking over them. Yes, we should use our privilege to raise awareness, but we should do that in a way that keeps the focus on those who are directly affected by the issue.)

Keep fighting

A method of healing inspired by Katara, and other waterbending healers. It is as close to my heart as this show is. Below are two ways I use this method ~

In the Bath ~ 

🌀  This method is best used for self healing

🌀  Create your own “spirit water” by adding amethyst, moon water & healing herbs to your bath. I like to use rosemary and bay leaves.

🌀  Lay back, and close your eyes. 

🌀  Visualize yourself in the water. Picture a ray of light scanning back and forth over you, like above. 

🌀  As it sweeps over you, visualize it to removing any negativity.

🌀  Sometimes I notice it get “stuck” on a certain area, or start to move slowly. This usually indicates a blockage. Focus on those areas a little more intently.

🌀  When you are finished, stand up, and do one last sweep, downwards.       Imagine the water droplets falling off of you are the last of your negativity.

🌀  As the bath empties, all negative build-up goes with it.

Healing Yourself & Others ~ 

🌀  This method is done purely with visualization and moon water, specifically charged with the intent to heal.  It can also be done in the astral.

🌀  Place the moon water in a bowl in front of you. Bonus: drop a piece of quartz in to amplify it’s effects. An infusion like the one used in the first method can be used as well.

🌀  Visualize the water rising up out of the bowl and surrounding your hands, like Katara does.

🌀  Now, like the first method, start scanning. Run your hands over yourself or your client, searching for blockages. (If you already know the area you’d like to heal, you can skip this step.)

🌀  As your hands work back and forth across the area you are healing, visualize the water sweeping through, washing away any negative or stagnant energy. 

🌀  Allow it to break through any blockages, clearing them.

🌀  When finished, let the water fall back into the bowl, taking all negativity with it. Thank the element, before safely disposing of it.

Things to Consider ~ 

🌀  Visualization and intent are key. You don’t need to use physical water, I just find it helps.

🌀  Do what feels right to you. Intuition is so important in healing. This method came to me one day while I was soaking in the tub. I instantly connected it to how Katara heals, and built off of that. Since then, the series continues to inspire my methods. I use hand movements often while doing energy work, so it works for me.

🌀  Healing takes time. It may take a few sessions to really clear away any build-ups or blockages. Be patient with yourself. 

Happy Healing!
