Now that 2020 is finally coming to an end, we are all hopeful for 2021 being a more positive year. Many people traditionally make New Year's Resolutions, but don't often stick to them long term. I find that setting short term goals, or splitting such resolutions into bite sized chunks makes things easier to handle.
A great way to usher the old year out and the new year in is to cleanse and bless your home and household.
I've put together a Home Blessings Bundle, which comes in two variants, with this in mind.
This, is the Home Blessings Bundle #1:
Home Blessings Bundle #1 - Stock Item
Included in this bundle are:
1 x Wooden Pentacle
1 x Packet of 12 White Spell Candles
1 x Crystal bracelet - choose between Green Moss Agate, Garnet, Black Onyx, Tiger's Eye or Amethyst
1 x Incense Sticks packet - choose between Frankincense & Myrrh, White Sage, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Protection, Dream Catcher, Prosperity, Luck, Buddha's Blessings, Nag Champa or Opium
And this, is Home Blessings Bundle #2:
Home Blessings Bundle #2 - Stock Item
Included in this bundle are:
1 x Wooden Triquetra
1 x Packet of 12 White Spell Candles
1 x Crystal bracelet - choose between Green Moss Agate, Garnet, Black Onyx, Tiger's Eye or Amethyst
1 x Incense Sticks packet - choose between Frankincense & Myrrh, White Sage, Dream Catcher, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Protection, Prosperity, Luck, Buddha's Blessings, Nag Champa or Opium
All of the above comes neatly packed in a red velvety drawstring bag.
- Packet of 12 black spell candles
- Crystal bracelet (Amethyst/ Black Onyx/ Tiger's Eye)
- Packet of Incense Cones (Dragon's Blood,
Palo Santo, White Sage, Frankincense & Myrrh, Sandalwood or Nag Champa)
- 1 Palo Santo stick
- 1 packet of 10 charcoal discs
- 1 jar loose leaf white sage
- 1 jar loose leaf olive
All of the above items can be used for protection and/or cleansing, so the thought was, why not make it easier by providing this bundle?

Another item that has been heavily requested recently has been Herbal Sachets. Think of them as Magickal Pot Pourri, in a way. This comparison is being drawn because these little buggers smell good, but every herb in there is included because of its protective attributes. And, they typically tend to include a little crystal as well to boost it all up by a notch or two. These sachets are custom made, depending on the situation the person is dealing with.
Sometimes, something as simple as a symbol is what one would prefer to go for - such as the above Hand of Hamsa.
It is a popular motif in many countries and known by Hamsa, Hand of Fatima, Hand of Mary, Hand of the Goddess as well as the Hand of Miriam. It is often used by people of Muslim and Jewish faiths as a symbol to keep away the evil eye.
Journaling are also a good way to start off the new year.
Keeping a diary can help you organise your thoughts more efficiently, and keep track of the important things going on in your life.

Dream Journalling is an ever growing practice, and the new year is a great time to start working on recording your dreams. The subconscious mind often processes our worries and hopes whilst we are asleep, and so dreams can be an important indication of what's going on beneath the surface which we wouldn't otherwise be aware of.
Daily Divination practices can be helpful to improve one's divination skills, and also help create a more regular and structured spiritual practice. Oracle cards such as the Goddess Power Oracle Deck are ideal for a single card draw that sets the tone for the day.
Another option to help you with daily spiritual practices is Mindfulness Meditation. It is often challenging to weave mindfulness into our day as we get caught up in the fast pace of life. It can feel overwhelming sometimes to know what to do and how to start doing something different and having to decide stops us doing anything at all. Having flashcards that provide a brief Mindfulness exercise can help manage the daily stress.
Last but not least, a good way to see the old year out is to cleanse via Smudging.
No matter which type of Smudge Stick you use - be it Olive, White Sage, Yerba Santa, Dragon's Blood Sage or something else, they all work with the same premise. You'd need to light it up using a steady flame. I personally use the gas stove when at home, or a candle if elsewhere. Once lit, start from top to bottom, back to front of your home. Don't forget the corners, and all the nooks and crannies which are notorious for dust to gather there. If the dust gathers there, energy is likely to stagnate there as well. You can also smudge yourself, but that's easier to do if you have someone to help you out especially when it comes to the back.
Once you're done, you can either snub it out like a big cigar, or let it go out by itself.
And so, this brings us to the end of the last blog post of the year 2020. Feel free to share what you decide to go for from the above, or anything else not mentioned perhaps! Stay safe, everyone!
