Yule Spell Ornament
I think I’m not the only for who December and the holidays are a strange and sometimes difficult time. So this year I decided to try and bring some light and warmth, joy and love into our home with this Yule spell ornament!
Disclaimer: I used whatever I had in my house which spoke to me of warmth, homeliness, joy and comfort. You don’t need all these ingredients, and some of the things that I have these associations with might not speak to you. Use whatever feels right!
What you need:
- Glass ornament
- Wool or twine in the colours of the hearth or Sun
- Charm that represents warmth and home, in my case the bonfire
- Salt (cleansing, snow)
- Cinnamon stick (warmth, comfort)
- Different types of tree bark and twigs (yule log, hearth)
- Chios Mastic or a different yellow coloured resin (Sun, warmth, energy)
- Juniper berry (ancestors, ancient)
- Sun charm (Sun, warmth, joy)
- Citrine (happiness, joy, creativity)
- Yellow Aventurine (happiness, warmth, joy)
- Rose quartz (love, self love, comfort)
- Chamomile (Sun, comfort, joy)
What you do:
- Create your space in the way that feels right for you
- Cleanse your ornament
- Add your salt, charging it with intent
- Add your small herbs and crystals, charging each with intent while you add them
- Add your big pieces, placing them in a way that looks good to you, charging them with your intent
- Put the cap back onto your ornament
- Wrap the top with the wool and add the charm to the outside, charging it with intent
Things I thought about adding: glitter (fun, joy, sparkly lights), cocoa powder (comfort, warmth), holly (winter, everlasting, yule), red apple (comfort, homeliness, yule), sugar (sweetness, love), fake snow (winter, joy, snow)
What would you add to your ornament of love, joy, and warmth?
