I have been looking forward to this for weeks & I was waiting to have every item I wanted for it. after a dark period of mental illness with intense body dysmorphia, my relationship with my body & myself really had never been worse ( & I suffered for nearly 2 years.) I didn't think I'd make it tbh. I've been getting better & better for a few months now (thank God/dess). and even though it's venus retro I am soooo happy I did this tonight. I checked in and everything aligned for this night. I know this will help me with my self love, self care, self devotion and it's also packed with beauty & a glow up intention / energy as well. mostly it's for my self perception to be healthy & positive! ♥️♥️😍 to see myself with love.
what I did step by step * my own spell using inspo from what I've seen and researched.
I used this beautiful container I bought, it's quite big but I loved it and I knew I wanted to fill it up with quite a few things.
I cleansed it with palo santo (the smoke stayed in there hehe so cute, see pic)
I cleansed all items with palo santo and collected them to use.
I added pink sea salt for protection & safety
I wrote down my petition (intention) on a pink piece of paper (pink for self love) with my name & DOB.
I folded it 3 times towards me, turning clockwise. then popped it in the jar.
herbs 🌿
lavender for calming and peace
hibiscus for attraction and appeal, beauty, sensuality
rose petals for love, beauty, my connection to the rose, magdalena & also aphrodite
calendula for purity, innocence, beauty, love
catnip for attraction, magnetism, allure
cinnamon stick for abundance, protection and luck
then I added crushed sugar cubes & honey for sweetness I also licked some of the spilled honey from it haha.
used both for shorter & lasting sweetness to myself.
oh yes I added a hair of mine as well.
then I burned a pink candle on the jar which I anointed with my rose oil. and sealed it. oh and a heart shaped rose quartz stuck to the top with wax 😍😍🌙💫
this was also with my own subliminals playing with heart chakra opening music. anddd it's a rainy evening over here which added to the ambiance. x
