Spring starts today. Later today towards noon, but earlier than usual because it is a leap year. I seem to be finding do-it-yourself rituals for spring. Things that seem mundane to me - Plant seeds or garden; Wake at sunrise; Have a bonfire; Spring cleaning and so on.
Let's get to something more novel - amongst these same sorts of ideas in the British Vogue article, we find "Candle Magic":
"Do some candle magic" "Traditional practices such as candle magic help us focus our energies on what we want. They plant messages in the unconscious, so we notice opportunities and have the confidence to take them. Choose a candle colour that appeals to you and distil what you want into a simple phrase such as, “May a new job come my way.” Light the candle for eight consecutive evenings. Each time you do, say your phrase, then imagine you have found a new job and are feeling delighted and grateful. Spend a few minutes sitting with this feeling and leave the candle safely burning for a while. Each time you blow the candle out, say, “So be it.” Now create channels for opportunities to flow your way. Contact people who might help you, attend events where you can network, look at job ads, and see what the universe sends."
Candle magic and spring rituals? This one doesn't seem to need spring, and the Vogue article unconsciously tells us the same - it says to celebrate the 2024 spring equinox on March 20th.
Here's an abstract I did from a few years ago with the title Spring Equinox.
