Cultivating Success with Sacred Intent

In the bustling whirlwind of modern life, rituals have the power to ground us, providing a pathway to our deeper intentions. The ritual I'm about to share is designed to invite and foster an environment of success and prosperity. This step-by-step guide will help you create a ceremonial practice that aligns your spirit with your ambitions and wraps them in the sacred.

Gathering the Tools of Intention

To begin this ritual, you'll need the following tools to act as catalysts for your intentions. Each item holds symbolism and energy that, when combined with your focused intent, can create a powerful alchemy:

• Devil's Shoestring Root (1/2 oz): A traditional luck and protection herb, often used in magic to overcome obstacles and to open up new pathways.
• Devil's Shoestring Pheromone Oil for Anointing: This scent serves to infuse objects and spaces with the energy of Devil's Shoestring and is used to anoint candles, amulets, and more.
• Prosperity Stick (20 natural incense sticks): Scent and smoke have been long used in rituals as symbols of intentions wafting up to the divine. The fragrance of prosperity can be inhaled and embraced.
• Gold Flecks in a bottle: The visual symbol of wealth, these glimmering flecks will be used to dress a special candle, bringing literal shine to your ritual.
• Balsam Scented Votive: The balsam fragrance is associated with attracting prosperity and is the perfect candidate for a candle charged with your intent.
• Cedar Smudge Stick: A sacred plant that has been used for centuries in the ritual of smudging to cleanse and purify, making a clear space for a new energy.
• Green Velvet Bag: To hold the items you will carry with you as a portable talisman of your success and prosperity intentions.
• Four Leaf Clover Amulet Coin: The classic symbol of luck and the favor of fortune. This amulet can be held, carried, or kept with your money to invite more wealth into your life.

Preparing Your Space

Choose a quiet, undisturbed space for your ritual. Begin by smudging the area with the Cedar Smudge Stick to cleanse it of any negative energies and previous intentions. Light the Balsam Scented Votive and take a moment to focus on the flickering flame, setting the intention for the ritual with a silent or spoken affirmation of success and prosperity.

Next, dress the Balsam candle with the gold flecks, placing them delicately around the base of the flame as symbols of the wealth you are summoning. Anoint the candle with the Devil's Shoestring Pheromone Oil, drawing an upward line from the base to the wick to draw success towards you.

Casting the Spell

Once your space is prepared, follow these guided steps to perform the ritual:

• Step 1 - Invocation: Stand before the candle, gaze into the flame, and call upon the energy of success and prosperity. You can use a personal statement or an ancient invocation to bring the desired energy into the present. This is a moment to connect with your higher self and with any divine presence you hold dear.
• Step 2 - Amulet and Four Directions: Hold the Four Leaf Clover Amulet Coin and stand at the cardinal points, beginning in the East. In each direction, invite the energies associated with it to join your ritual. This can be as simple as stating "Hail to the energies of the East, bring me the clarity of sight and the momentum of new beginnings."
• Step 3 - Anoint with Oil and Speak Your Intentions: With the Devil's Shoestring Pheromone Oil, anoint your pulse points, important documents, or objects related to your desired prosperity. Speak your intentions clearly and assertively. Words have power, and the more you state your intent, the more it resonates in the universe.
• Step 4 - Incense Invocation: Light one of the Prosperity Incense Sticks and allow the fragrant smoke to fill the air. As with the candle, focus on the incense as a physical representation of your desire and a vehicle to carry your intentions.

Closing the Ritual

After you feel that you've fully imprinted the space with your intentions, it's important to close the ritual respectfully. You don't want to leave the gateway of your energy work open, as it can lead to dispersion of your intention or the intrusion of unwanted energies.

• Extinguish the Candles and Incense: Blow out the candles in reverse order from which they were lit to symbolically end the spellwork. Snuffing out the candles is also a powerful way to contain the energy you've created.
• Thankfulness: Show gratitude to the energies and entities you've invoked, as well as to yourself for dedicating this time to your growth and achievement. Offer thanks in your own words or with a simple farewell statement of respect.
• Closing the Circle: If you chose to work within a circle, visualize its energy dissipating or 'cut' it with a gesture or tool to release any remaining power.
• Grounding: Eating a small piece of bread or something else physical can help ground you back in the "normal" world after the energy work of the ritual.

Carrying Prosperity with You

After the ritual, the tools and items you've used become symbolic of your vows and can be used to continue to manifest the energies of success and prosperity:

• Daily Affirmations and Visualization: Continue to affirm your goals and visualize your success daily. This keeps the energy alive.
• Weekly or Monthly Renewals: Depending on the intensity of your desires, repeat the ritual weekly or monthly to "top off" the manifestation energy.
• Talisman Carrying: Place the items you've anointed in the green velvet bag and carry it with you, or secrete them around your home in places of power.
• Recycle the Energy: As the candle burns, consider how you might recycle the wax or the herbs, incorporating the remnants into your life and environment.

Remember, the true power of any ritual lies not in the tools used, but in the intention of the practitioner. May this guide serve as a starting point for the cultivation of your success and may each step bring you closer to the life you imagine. Go forth, and may prosperity find you.
