Welcoming in a New Era with The Great Conjunction Ritual

Items Needed:

·         Flying Wish paper

·         Rock

·         Pen or pencil

·         Sharpie        

·         A place to bury something OR a safe place to burn something (burning bowl or fireplace) 

·         Matches or Lighter

Instructions:

This is a sample ritual that you can do, with your own adaptations, on the actual day of the solstice/Great Conjunction to release difficult experiences from 2020 or express gratitude for what was good; and to set intentions for 2021 and beyond.  

Take a moment to sit comfortably and take 3 – 4 deep breaths. Think about the past year and all that has happened – positive or negative.

Using a small rock or a piece of paper, write something that you were grateful for in 2020 (e.g., friendship) and/or what you are ready to release (e.g., anxiety). When complete, bury it in the ground.  NOTE: If you aren’t able to bury a rock, you can use paper instead and burn it in a safe burning container.

Next take a sheet of flying wish paper or any other very light-weight paper (tissue paper works well) and write your intentions for 2021 and beyond (e.g., health, prosperity and all manner of blessings). Light it following the instructions on the package. Take a moment to breathe and smile as your intentions fly out into the cosmos to reach fulfillment.
