Magical Everyday Objects
I haven't posted anything in a while and definitely not with his tag in a minute... so how about now?
I am so very fond of "do it and forget it" work and this will be half way that. There's the "do it and forget it" but with consistent application.
- Find an object that means something to you but you absolutely use on a daily basis or extremely regularly. I will give some example objects that might be helpful.
- Physically clean and spiritually cleanse them.
- Give that object to your ancestors/spirits. Please ensure that these objects will not be needed for anything else or for anyone else!
- Pray that their presence is seen, heard, felt in the best possible way and pray for whichever blessings you care to have over the chosen objects.
Through repetitive use, the object gains significance and strength in that area so that it actually becomes better over time.
Potential objects and ways of using or thinking about them:
A mirror:
- (Self) reflection: show how you view yourself, your beautiful parts and you know... the parts that needs some extra work
- Revelation: those who stand with/behind you and those who stand against you
Makeup/Skincare:
- Attraction and glamour are obvious options; typically this is thought of as accentuating or enhancing characteristics but you could cover up/hide flaws.
- Toners, serums, etc - clearing, repairing, brightening how you are perceived
- Lotions, moisturizers, etc - smooth things out, filling in gaps
Makeup and Skincare can be used for casual reputation work when you see/speak to a lot of people for whatever reason.
Perfume: Similar to makeup and skincare in some regards but definitely good for "putting on airs". Scent is also deeply linked to memory, and lingers behind long after you've left so if you want to 'stick" to someone then scent is a good option to explore.
Jewelry: opulence, looking like a million bucks
Paper, canvas, ink, paints, etc: For many people writing was not and is not the way of life. However, if your spirits performed art in some fashion, then these objects might appeal to them and they may even be able to give you and your work a boost.
Blankets: Especially ones that you sleep with or gain comfort from, you can make use of that for living in comfort, etc.
(Internal) Consumables: This is not necessarily just food or drinks, just anything you consume/process. So it could be media as well.
- Sweets (sugar, honey, candies, etc) - ensuring steady supply of things that bring sweetness/joy into your life; consistency can be whatever you want but try to be extremely regular. Please note that, depending on sweetener and your spirits, your mileage may vary.
- Teas/Tisanes - what you get out of this very much depends on the plant but if you can find something your spirits historically consumed, even better. It will bring you into further concert. Please be mindful of contraindications and medicinal interactions! Not every plant is safe for everybody!
- Tinctures - similar to tea/tisane but less overall effort than drinking a tea every day
The list could go on but I'll leave that to you!
