How to Use

2. Prepare a small, peaceful space: a clean surface, a candle, and a few minutes of deep breathing to center yourself.
3. Hold the herb or visualize its energy, then speak a simple affirmation or your own words to charge the ritual.
4. Close the ritual by grounding your energy and noting any thoughts, feelings, or small results in a journal.
