Hi Readers,
I am working on a lot of different goals for the new year. I know that for many practitioners the new year may start at Samhain or Yule depending on which it is for you. However, I do like to prepare for the new calendar year since it is part of our lives. This year for me is all about transitions. With this said here are some of my preparations.
I am preparing by cleansing my space using different methods. For me, cleansing can take the form of physical cleaning by doing so with intention and visualization. These are not the only factors I consider. Further, I have also used sound. I like using sound because it changes the vibration of the space just as effectively as other methods. Also, I think sound is useful because it is always available.
Another method I have used is incense for cleansing. I have used sage bundles as well, but I have always used sage incense and other scents. Use what works for you. If you do not have sage that’s fine. Other methods are available to you. For example, you could create your own mist with essential oils that you associate with cleansing. You should be conscious and make sure the oils are of high quality and from a reliable source.
I do not believe in new year resolutions this is mainly for two reasons.
I am not likely to continue them throughout the year.
This is mainly because I feel like I should not have to wait for a time to set a new goal when I have other times for goal setting like in the spring. Also, I feel like what I am working on is long-term and may take more time than the entire year.
Most importantly, I can work on the goal or aspect in stages. I can work on my goals as a Witch in stages throughout the year using things I already work with like the moon and seasons. This includes more mundane goals such as exercise and my health. Further, I can work on more long-term projects in smaller steps such as during a new moon onward throughout several months. I realize this may not work for everyone but for now this works for me. Use what works for you.
Do you do anything to prepare for the New Year?? I hope 2020 is a great year of health, prosperity, and I wish you blessings for the new year.
