An art ritual to help you make a wish for your love life or call a love relationship into your life.
Author: Dana da Ponte
Moon Phase: Any phase
Suggested Month: February
Supplies
red candle
sticks (I used 6)
red string
embroidery thread
small fabric bag
small piece of fabric (if you want to sew heart to your fabric bag)
paper or decorative paper (for writing on then scrolling up)
sealing wax (you can use string or ribbon if you don't have sealing wax)
wax stamp
ribbon for hanging bundle (I used burlap ribbon)
pen or marker
wood rounds
rafia or other decorative string
cinnamon sticks
feather
essential oils that suit your needs (I used Myrrh, Frankincense, Cinnamon and Clove)
herbs and dried flowers that suit your needs (I used mint, roses and lavender)
Directions
Perform the opening steps to ritual - (ie. opening prayer, clearing, calling in, blessing, protection)
Cut small strips of paper to write your wishes on. Cut enough for one strip of paper per stick.
Use red string to bind each wish to a stick. When each stick has a wish bound to it, bind all the sticks together.
On decorative paper, write down, in as much detail as possible, your thoughts, prayer and vision for your relationship. If you are doing this ritual as a way to call a relationship into your life, imagine the love story the two of you will create together and write that love story down in as much detail as possible.
Roll the paper up in a scroll and seal it with sealing wax. If you don’t have sealing wax, you can easily use ribbon or string to tie your scroll closed.
Wrap a couple cinnamon sticks, a feather or other meaningful objects to the scroll.
Create a prayer bag and sew a heart or other meaningful symbol to it.
Fill the prayer bag with plant medicine, essential oils and holy water or whatever else is meaningful to you.
If including three wood rounds, write or draw on them now.
With rafia or string hang the prayer bag, wood rounds and scroll to the sticks you bundled together.
Tie a slip knot with burlap ribbon and wrap the ends of the slip knot around the bundle of sticks to create a hook to hang the bundle from.
End with a prayer of gratitude.
