STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
GATHER.
Gather the items you will need & set up your space however calls to you. Find a place where you can be grounded & present.
THE RITUAL
-
Arrange your black candle in the center of your workspace. Circle the candle with an inner ring of rosemary & outer ring of black sea salt.
-
Arrange your companion stones around the candle & herbs wherever feels natural. There is no correct placement, simply allow your intuition to guide you.
-
Write your intention on your bay leaf, or simply hold it quietly in your mind, & place the bay leaf in front of the candle before continuing.
-
Light your candle. Visualize a protective golden light surrounding your space. Read the enclosed affirmation or create one of your own. Allow yourself a few quiet moments with your ritual. You can hold whichever companion stone feels right. Notice your breathing. Allow thoughts to come and go freely. Use this time simply to return to yourself.
-
When you feel ready, gently extinguish the candle. Take a final moment of gratitude for allowing yourself time to pause & ground yourself in protection & peace. Your ritual may be complete, but the intention you’ve set continues beyond this moment.
Return to this ritual whenever you need to remember:
“I am grounded. I am protected. I am enough.”
Beyond the Flame
The ritual doesn’t end when the candle is extinguished.
Your Ground & Protection kit includes everything you need to create a small Protection Sachet, designed to carry your intention into all areas of your life.
Keep it nearby when you need a grounding reminder. Place it at your threshold for protection. Tuck it into a pocket or bag before leaving home.
