Incantation

"With color, rhythm, pulse, and light,
Bring seeds of wonder into my sight.
Let visions stir, let stories weave,
With every breath…I believe."

Ritual for Application

  1. Awaken the Senses: Light incense or diffuse essential oils that spark inspiration (jasmine, citrus, or peppermint).

  2. Prepare Your Mind: Sit with your journal or sketchpad and doodle or free-write for a few moments without expectation. This opens the channel.

  3. Apply the Balm:

    • Rub into your throat (expression), forehead (imagination), and hands (creation).

    • Put some in the center of your palms, rub hands together and inhale deeply.

    • Speak the incantation slowly, with playfulness and reverence.

  4. Invite the Muse: Whisper: “Muses of the unseen, come dance with me. Show me what wants to be born.”

  5. Anchor with Offering:

    • Place a pen, brush, or creative tool beside your bed.

    • Lie down with a piece of citrine, carnelian, or labradorite nearby.

  6. Upon Waking: Capture anything that lingers—colors, symbols, lines, melodies. These are often dream-gift seeds waiting to sprout.
