✨ Cinnamon & Salt Blowing Ritual (Abundance + Protection)
One of the most popular (and delightfully simple) rituals involves blowing a mix of cinnamon and salt out your front door.
What you'll need:
Ground cinnamon (for abundance and prosperity)
A pinch of salt (for protection and purification)
How to do it:
Stand just inside your front door with the mixture in your palm.
Set your intention—visualise what you want more of (money, joy, opportunity).
Say: "As I blow this cinnamon and salt, abundance and protection flow into my life. Let this month bring good fortune and fresh energy."
Blow the mixture out your door, onto your porch or front step (you’re sending your intentions into the world).
Let it sit for a few hours or sweep it up later—it’s the intention that matters.
✍️ New Month Intentions (Manifestation Journal)
Take a moment to reflect and write:
What you’re releasing
What you’re calling in
A power word for the month (e.g., clarity, courage, flow)
This small practice helps realign your focus and goals.
💰 Money Magnet Move
Place coins or cash in the corners of rooms or inside your wallet with an affirmation like:
"Money flows to me easily and often."
You can also write your intention on a bay leaf and tuck it into your wallet.
🕯️ Candle Ritual (Clarity + Focus)
Light a candle to represent the energy you want to bring in:
White = clarity, peace
Green = growth, money
Gold = confidence, success
Focus on your goal while the candle burns (safely, of course).
🧹 Home Cleanse (Shift the Energy)
Mop floors with lemon water and salt or a splash of Florida Water
Burn incense, sage, or palo santo to reset the vibe
As you cleanse, say aloud or in your mind: "Only energy that serves my highest good may remain."
🗓️ Calendar Blessing
Take your diary or digital planner and set intentions week by week. Lightly touch each page and say:
"This week is full of alignment and opportunity."
You’re charging your time with purpose.
🌿 Plant a Seed (Literal or Metaphorical)
Plant a seed or repot a plant as a physical symbol of growth.
No green thumb? Start a project, dream, or list of ideas that you’ll nurture all month long.
💧 Refresh Your Ritual Tools
Empty and refill your moon water, reset your altar, or recharge your crystals. New month, new energy.
How to make moon water:
Fill a clean glass jar or bottle with water.
Place it under the full moon or the next available moon phase (even a window works if outside isn’t an option).
Set an intention for the water—what do you want it to help with? (e.g., clarity, confidence, peace)
Leave it overnight and collect it in the morning.
You can use moon water for:
Spritzing your space
Anointing tools
Adding to floor washes or baths
Charging crystals or manifestation work
Bonus Ritual: Quick Morning Mantra
Stand tall, take a deep breath, and say:
"I am open to blessings, aligned with purpose, and grounded in joy. This month is mine to shape."
Start your month like the magical being you are. Whether it’s a sprinkle of cinnamon or a full journal session, these rituals bring awareness, intention, and a little enchantment to your life.
