As of August 28, 2024, we've entered the post-shadow phase of Mercury retrograde, moving from Leo to Virgo. We are currently in a phase of integration and transformation. In addition, there are significant planetary shifts bringing about new perspectives. Embrace the cosmic energy guiding you through this dynamic period by implementing one or both of the rituals share in this post.
For a more profound understanding and direction regarding this energy, consider watching the Collective Tarot Reading (video below) where I sought divine guidance on our current experiences.
The oracle messages and rituals shared below were channeled during the collective tarot reading. You are welcome to adapt the rituals and affirmations as you see fit and practice them when the right moment arises for you.
The interpretations and rituals are from the Magickal Spellcards by Lucy Cavendish.
As always, I would love to hear of your experiences, questions, and insights if you desire to share in the comments below or private message me through my website.
Oracle 1: New Beginnings
Affirmation: Let this magic in my spell, clear the space in which I dwell.
Guidebook Interpretation
In every life there are times when we know a fresh start would be the best approach. We need to recalibrate, shed what is done and move forward. This ritual will reveal exciting new opportunities.
The question is how to create this in the very best way. Perform this ritual and allow the magic that flows forth to guide you to a place and path where you are not repeating and recycling, but where there is a true sense of newness, discovery and wonder. You are now creating a beautiful, brave moment of opportunity - live as if you are on the verge of a most wonderful discovery.
You may even feel that the Universe as already asked you to be brave and create a new beginning. No matter your age, and what stage you find yourself at, you can begin again. Life is full of novelty and it is essential to refresh, to continue to discover and learn. Just because something has been does not mean this is how it will always be. There will be a new path opening up for you. This ritual will support you in recreating yourself and your life at the same time.
Ritual Procedure
You will need:
a feather, a seashell and a piece of wood and stone. (*recommended that you find these items yourself, from natural places)
white cloth
white candle
broom
crystals (any you desire)
flowers and herbs (any you desire)
thin wire
bergamot oil (or any citrus essential oil will do)
soft cloth
handful of salt
strong craft glue
Go to your sacred place and completely clear all that is there and place it in a separate safe space.
See a circle of pure white light moving all around you, protecting you and filling the space with light.
Place 9 drops of bergamot on the cloth.
Wipe down your altar space, really clear it. Then go around your home and cleanse all the door knobs, handles and light switches with the same cloth.
Return to your space and begin to recreate it.
Place the white cloth, and then your seashell, feather, stone and wood upon your altar.
Light the candle and while it's burning, take the broom and decorate it with herbs and flowers. You may wish to intertwine little branches from local trees with the broom. Paste your crystals on the handle and then place it near your altar, letting everything dry and set firmly.
Chant 3 times:
"Let this broom sweep anew
All that is no longer true
Let this magic in my spell
Clear the space in which I dwell
Let the water, fire, air and earth
Bring to me energetic rebirth
New beginnings, with them I shall see
More of life's great discoveries
And by the power of three by three
So shall it be."
Scatter the salt around your home, especially along the exits and entrances. Then energetically sweep your home - open the windows and doors and sweep the energy out, along with the salt.
Clear up any remnants with a vacuum cleaner. The energy will feel clear, clean, sparkly and fresh. Close your circle of white light, knowing that there are fresh and new amazing beginnings for you. Blessed be, bright soul.
Oracle 2: Divine Guidance
Affirmation: Whispers from the beings who shine, let their messages be clear and kind.
Guidebook Interpretation
When we are in a fix of some kind, we often wonder how we came we came to be in such a dark situation. We may turn to counseling, discussions with close friend, money or addictions to either help us or to numb us to the pain of being in such troubled times. However, there is a wonderful alternative and that is to seek Divine Guidance and counsel to help us see the shining path which lies before us anew.
The Universe wants you to know that it has something important planned for your life, which may be difficult for you to see - or even to believe - at this time. This ritual will connect you with a source of divine guidance, which will offer you messages that will help you to steer your way through any trouble and into the new dawn that is coming for you. You will be blessed with clear direction, comfort and a sense that all will be well. You simply need to be open to these messages.
You may also find yourself in a position where you can almost hear the guidance from the Sacred Source, but the voices are like whispers on the wind - hard to hear, harder to make sense of and so you avoid taking action, due to being unsure. This ritual will connect you with the divine, personal advisors who wish to clarify matters for you. But as you have absolute free will it is up to you to decide whether to follow the guidance. Perform this ritual and the guidance you seek will be clear, strong and available to you.
Ritual Procedure
*it is best to perform this ritual where you can watch the sunset, however you can easily modify it to be done at your altar.
You will need:
clear quartz crystal
pomegranate or pomegranate juice
candle or if performing this ritual with the sunset, the setting sun is your candle light
Visualize a circle of purple light all around you, flickering, shimmering and completely alive with the divine energy.
Light your candle, or focus on the Sun setting, growing bright, red and strong, like a star flame in the sky.
Take your crystal and hold it to the light of the Sun in this liminal space or to the light of the flame that is representing the Sun.
Let the energy of this light move into the crystal.
Chant 3 times:
"By this bright star's fire
Bring to me guidance divine
Allow the flame to now inspire
Whispers from the beings who shine
With trust and goodness let them talk
Let their messages be clear and kind
With the path of guidance I will walk
And by the power of three by three
As I do will, so shall it be."
Feel the guides all around you come closer. You may wish to close your eyes for a moment and place the crystal on your heart, press it gently to your third eye and then to your solar plexus.
Take your pomegranate fruit or juice and either drink or eat it slowly, relishing each drop or seed within the light of the candle or nature's beautiful sunset.
To complete the ritual, blow out the candle, blowing your wish into the Universe. Bid farewell to the Sun and ask for blessings of the stars on the guidance you will now receive. Be prepared for your intuition to be more open to the divine guidance that is all around you. Blessed be and may you always be divinely guided.
