Winter Solstice Ritual, right of passage for the new year.
Items you will need, (you may exchange items that represent the idea being conveyed in the ritual):
White candles (snow, purity, newness, winter)
Red candles (passion, the season, new love)
Blue candles (compassion, mercy, ice, strength)
A bowl of water
Flower petals that represent you as a person (this is always different for each witch or sorcerer, some even use wood chips)
Stones, statues, drawings that represent the winter ❄️
Salt
Next, place them in a pattern around the bowl of water that should be in the center and accessible to you. This pattern will represent a snow flake.
Use the salt to connect each item, giving it a snow flake appearance.
Incantation for the solstice-
“With this alter I do thee invoke the Most High God, his blessings and rebirth into the new year. Cleansing all that has been done over the past year.
Enchanted this water with strength, mercy, magick, and protection as I walk into the Light.”
Dip your main pointer finger into the water and place a drop on your forehead and all those present. This drop of water is a major blessing for the new year.
“May we walk in the Light, serving the Light, May all we touch bring abundance, wealth and health. As above so below so mote it be!”

As you are chanting, imagine all of the anxiety, fear and negativity dissolving.
I am back from the depths of my spiritual maze to talk about the only thing I really practice anymore which is bed magic.
I have turned my bed into my ritual grounds. my altar. my sanctuary. okay, it was already my sanctuary but now it’s on a religious level.
here are some reasons:
☁️ my headspace is so cluttered. i work all day, have a couple hours to relax at night, and then it’s time to go to sleep. I dont have the energy for devotion during the day!
☁️ my personal space is also cluttered. even if I set up an altar, things get shoved aside or overlooked because sadly I do not have enough storage for everything I own
☁️ my bed tho. my holy space. my temple. 🙏 I can make my bed almost every morning and it makes me feel good
☁️ it’s good for my mental health and it’s good for my spiritual health. I can leave prayers and wishes on smooth bedding and set up with perfectly stacked pillows
☁️ it does wonders for my deity/spirit work. without any outside distractions, I can project myself and focus my mind much easier than I am capable of during the day
☁️ I can pray when I go to bed, in my bed, and fall asleep thinking of my devotion because that is when i am most at peace (usually)
☁️ if I’m not at peace, I can talk about what is unsettling me and I find a sense of comfort and reprieve knowing that I got it off my chest
☁️ I personally use weariness/delirium as a form of contact because i have a hard time visualizing, so when i am half-asleep, i can manage simple things like acknowledgment and thanks
and all this I do without stones or incantations or sigils or anything else “traditionally” witchy but that’s only because I dont have the spoons for it. there’s so many things that can be done if you wanted to incorporate your bed into your practice
