#bewitching the elements

So in this chapter Gabriela included a lot of affirmations and I wanted to share them here for you guys to use in your everyday life. I will be adding a few of these into my daily practice as well.

For Power and Self-Confidence

I am rooted in my strength and grounded in my power.

I shine as my fullest self and nourish my inner light.

I am radiant, confidence, and empowered by my ambition and desires.

For Growth and Evolution

I grow, bloom, and evolve with ease.

If it doesn't serve me, I let it go.

I surrender to the universe and trust in my evolution.

I integrate the lessons of my evolution at the perfect time.

I breathe into the discomfort of growth and trust it's in my highest favor.

For Prosperity and Abundance

I am abundance and prosperity and wealth are my birthright.

I live in alignment and receive blessings and abundance with ease.

I line in a state of awe and gratitude and I experience miracles every day.

I am powerful as hell and money comes to me easily.

I am a rich witch and I bask in my bounty, and share it with joy.

For Healing

I trust the universe and honor my healing even through the pain.

I tend to the garden of my heart with care and compassion.

My shadows are worthy of love and acceptance.

I ask for help when I need it and allow myself to feel whatever it is I'm feeling,

My healing journey does not have to be linear to be valid.

For Protection

I am safe, supported, protected, and aligned with the highest vibration possible.

I listen to my intuition and trust that I am divinely guided and protected.

I am surrounded by white light and trust in the blessings of the universe.

I am safe, I am seen, I am held, I am protected.

For Love and Pleasure

I open my heart to all possibilities of love and pleasure.

I honor my sensuality and surrender to the erotic.

I am surrounded by love and I follow the path of pleasure and passion.

I follow what feels the most delicious for my heart and soul.

I am divine love.

For Connecting with the Divine

I return to what feeds my purpose.

I am of the divine; ever changing, ever growing, ever flowing.

I surrender to the universe and know it's working in my highest favor.

I am a conduit and reflection of the divine, and channel my higher self whenever I need to.

For Tapping into the Element of Fire

I follow my passions and desires and allow them to feed my soul.

My passions, purpose, and power fuel me.

I embody the element of fire. I am fire.

I embody my fullest, most radical, and authentic self.

The fire tarot spread is a strong one and one I will be doing after posting this I am so stoked.

Card 1: Me

Card 2: My current situation

Card 3: My desire

Card 4: What I'm evolving toward

Card 5: The lesson I am meant to be learning right now

Card 6: What still need to be alchemized and transmuted

Card 7: The outcome

In my reading of 'Bewitching the Elements' every chapter has a tarot spread to help you connect with each element. I will post the questions and layout here for you guys to do at home in your work connecting with the element of Earth.

Card 1: My Roots (what's keeping me grounded)

Card 2: Beneath the Surface (what information I can't see)

Card 3: The Plant (where am I currently in my growth)

Card 4: What Nourishes Me

Card 5: What Depletes Me

Card 6: What I Need Moving Forward

Card 7: Where I Need to Reinforce My Boundaries

This is the last post from the book and I have finished it and I so happy it has made me grow so much. I am possibly starting another soon about lucid dreaming or protecting yourself from psychic attacks. Either one I start I will be posting things I learn here as well as starting a fiction book. One of the last book my Beloved wanted to read before his passing so I will finally be reading it to honor him. Anyway these are some suggestions from the book about creating a devotional practice for yourself.

Leaving Offerings

Masterbation of sex magick

Chanting of meditating with prayer beads
