For this long cycle, I made a jar that will stay intact for the duration of the cycle. This allows for it to become a living, breathing item that I can return to for energy and motivation. I can pull it out and re-charge and re-visit my intentions.
I've been asked by several people what my process was for creating this jar, and I'm happy to share! There is, of course, no right or wrong way, but this a brief synopsis of what I did. Here is the finished product:
I prepared for this particular "ritual," or intention jar for awhile. Again, this is a long cycle and I wanted to come up with something(s) I could really take my time to work on. I was trying to come up with 3, but I ended up with 4 and decided that is fine. I wrote my intentions in a journal to reference back to since my memory is awful, then I wrote them each on separate strips of paper and placed them in a little envelope.
Based on my intentions, I pulled some herbs, stones, and other items that compliment and enhance those energies. These will all go in the jar and live there for the next couple years!
I chose three candles for this jar and full moon cycle. Again, these are chosen based on the intentions I placed in the jar.
And that's the gist of it! Place the jar out for a bath under the moon (inside by a window if you are unable to utilize outdoor space). Any spells, prayers, meditations, incantations would be up to you and based on what you are aiming to accomplish. I find it beneficial to journal, daily if possible, to track your progress. You can also set shorter term goals as a means to facilitate the fruition of your intentions. Lunar tracking is also great and takes as little as a minute or 2 each day. I'm not a big journal person, but taking the couple minutes each day helps for accountability, motivation, and understanding of yourself and your personal cycle.
