A🌌 Ritual Structure:

1. Opening the Cosmic Gateway
Stand under the night sky if possible, or by a window.
Light the black candle (symbolizing the womb of creation, endings).
Light the silver/white candle (symbolizing the new spark of life).
Place the bowl of salt water to your left and the bowl of earth to your right.

Raise your hands and say:

“I stand between endings and beginnings, between what was and what shall be.
I honor the dance of death and rebirth within me and around me.”

2. Invocation of Cosmic Allies
Call upon powerful energies:

Speak aloud or silently:
“I call upon the Great Mother of the Void,
The Weaver of Stars,
The Phoenix of Sacred Fire.
Guide me now as I cross the threshold from the old into the luminous new.”

(Breathe deeply, sensing the presence of these unseen allies.)

3. Mirror Reflection: The Truth Within
Hold the mirror and gaze into it gently.

Whisper to your reflection:
“I see the self that longs to be born. I honor the self that is shedding away.
I give thanks for the wisdom of all my past selves.”

Kiss the mirror softly and place it beside the white/silver candle — symbolizing self-blessing.

4. The Written Surrender
Write down what you are releasing — patterns, fears, limitations, names of things, situations, identities.

Examples:
“I release my fear of instability.”
“I release my past version that clings to old identities.”
“I surrender to the unknown with trust.”

Fold the paper into a small square.

Carefully burn the paper (safely!) in the flame of the black candle — OR if you cannot burn it, bury it into the bowl of soil.

As you burn or bury it, say:
“With fire and earth, I release. With salt and spirit, I heal.
What no longer serves dissolves now and forever.”

5. Anoint and Renew
Dip your fingers lightly into the salt water and touch:

Your forehead (for clear vision)
Your heart (for renewed passion)
Your palms (for empowered action)

Say:
“Blessed by the Waters,
Awakened by the Stars,
I now receive the sacred breath of new life.”

Brush the feather or branch lightly around your body, imagining it sweeping away any final residue.

6. Anchoring the New Self
Hold your stone tightly to your heart.

Visualize a beam of light descending from the cosmos directly into your heart center.

Whisper your new intention aloud:

“I choose to rise as _ [speak what you are becoming: ‘an awakened soul’, ‘a fearless heart’, ‘a joyful creator’].”

Feel it settling into you like golden honey.

7. Closing the Ritual
Bow three times toward your spread and your sacred items, honoring your soul’s courage.
Blow out the black candle first, symbolizing the end of the old.

Keep the silver/white candle burning for a little while longer to welcome the new light.

Final affirmation:

“The universe breathes with me.
The cosmos celebrates my rebirth.
I walk now in the new dawn.”

🌑 Final Touch:

• Sleep with the stone under your pillow that night.
• Dream journal anything that comes — new guidance is often gifted through dreams after a powerful ritual like this.
