I have recently decided that my new years resolution is to commit to my craft and connect with my spirit guides. So to that effect I have started this blog to document my findings and journal my experiences.

And for my first entry, a manifestation ritual and tarot reading for the new year:

The ritual, involving the lighting of a candle (I currently use a white, coffee scented candle that I have dedicated only for my rituals) and the burning of a bay leaf, the phrase "I get what I want because I deserve it" must be written on the surface of the leaf before burning, intention is key. Then I ground myself, holding a flower quartz palm stone between both hands, and think of what I want to manifest. This coming year I will have my needs met, I will receive any money I need, I will foster new friendships and love, and my friends will also have their needs met, I will move to the place I want to go and do what I love to do. This will happen because I say so.

For the tarot reading, I pulled three reversed cards, the first being the page of pentacles. This card has expressed that I find myself stuck in a loop of wanting a certain goal to be met but never reaching it, despite my efforts and planning. This of course is spot on as usual. The next card illuminates the root of the issue, the ten of wands tells me I am carrying to much on my own, and I should work to relieve it. I have been neglecting my health both physically and mentally, I do not enjoy visiting doctors or therapists, but I cannot function efficiently without medication and this causes my depression and anxiety. Next is the ace of wands, I find it difficult to point myself in a specific direction and commit my ideas and ambitions to reality, but the time will come.

I decide to pull one more card for clarity, the wheel of fortune in reverse, this card in reverse represents a resistance to change, which I can feel is true for me, as well as bad luck, it also represents breaking cycles. In regards to the previous cards, I feel this means I am beginning to see the cycles present in my life that bring me pain and do not serve me, so I must work to break them and that starts by reaching out and relieving my burdens, only then can I begin to live my purpose and execute my goals.

I hope whoever is reading this will find some usefulness in it, either way this will be helpful for my record, to make sure I'm following the guidance I've been given. Happy new year
