Trust and Boost Your Magic!!

Hello again and Happy Autumn!! During this incredibly transformative time in our collective history, an era that for all of its challenges has nudged us even closer toward our Spiritual Side, it's important to develop and practice personal rituals to stay grounded and anchored to our Personal Power. That Power is innate as we are, after all, Infinite Spirits having a temporary human experience -- one we'd like to make the most of and enjoy fully no matter the challenges -- agree??

As we approach the last two months of 2024, I invite you to delve deeper into the energy of the High Priestess Archetype in Tarot, an energy full of mystery, wisdom and, most certainly, power! The High Priestess, with her ability to bridge the gap between Spirit and Matter, is a wonderful teacher and inspiration for personal rituals. She embodies the saying, "As Above, So Below," and she can help you tap into your Higher Self, your Magical Self, your most confident, faith-filled Self! Many people find the High Priestess a little out of reach because she is veiled in her expression, but that's only because what she offers is so valuable that she is cautious, careful, observant. She often appears when it's time to act but with careful consideration of consequences and only after tuning into our Spiritual Wisdom. With the energy of the Moon, she encourages us to investigate issues, to seek knowledge, to be aware of what lies beneath the surface and to trust our own inner knowing and follow our Soul's prompts. Tuning into her energy can help you tap into your intuition and act accordingly, knowing that you can always trust your gut and it's soulful connection to Source.

I want to share with you a couple of ways to better work with the High Priestess as a divine archetype to help boost your energy and stay spiritually inspired as we wind down 2024. Ready?

First, keep some charged crystal water on your nightstand. Always used purified water and choose a crystal that tolerates water (some will dissolve, so be sure to check!). Clear Quartz is a great choice as it an amplifier of energy so whether you are working to stay calm, prosper, heal, love -- or all of the above -- Quartz is up to the task! In the mornings, dip your fingers into the water and anoint yourself, your forehead, third eye, neck, arms, legs, feet -- however you are led. Offer gratitude for life and protection. Be intentional about the day ahead. If you feel led, you can also repeat this ritual at night before bed as you prepare to dream. Keep the water clean, replacing at least every few days.

Next, you can create an abundance/healing/love jar (or glass) to place underneath the side of the bed where you sleep, close to your head. Think sweetness, love, prosperity, goodness and use items like rose buds, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, basil! Feel free to add essential oils like lavender, clary sage, lemongrass, frankincense or other oils with spiritual properties you can research -- another quality the High Priestess embodies. As you prepare for bed, remember the way you have surrounded and prepared your space with deliberation, with care, with self-love and trust that the Universe supports your efforts. THAT is one of the most important lessons you can learn from the High Priestess! Clean / replace items in the container each month either at the new or full moon.

Give it a try and see how it goes!! I'd love to hear from you and wish you always, always, the manifestation of Your Highest, Most Powerful Self!! -- Afefe 💜
