the first of any month is typically regarded as a good time to refresh, renew, and attract abundance and luck so here are some ideas on how to do so!
say "rabbit rabbit!" for good luck all month long
set intentions and goals for the new month
perform a divination reading to forecast the month ahead
light a scented candle or incense to set the tone for the rest of the month
craft a money bowl or renew the one you already have
blow a pinch of cinnamon inside for good luck and abundance (avoid this if you have animals in the house or live with someone who has respiratory issues)
place a cinnamon stick above your front door and replace monthly instead of doing the above
clean/cleanse your altar, tools, and crystals
write or draw symbols of abundance on a bay leaf and keep it in your wallet - burn it at the end of the month before you make a new one
open your windows to air out stale, stagnant energy
sweep your floors out the front door
blow a handful of salt out of your front door to release the things that no longer serve you
mop your floors with a cleansing floor wash; use this wash to clean doors and doorframes (obvs not using dirty mop water but an entirely fresh batch of the wash lol)
sprinkle salt on your doorstep and windowsills for protection after cleaning and sweeping
take a ritual bath or shower with the goal of cleansing yourself of negative vibes and inviting positive vibes in its place
if it applies, don't forget to: drink some water, gas up your vehicle, pay your bills, fill your prescriptions, take care of your physical and mental health, and stay golden
