It doesn’t happen like that. You don’t just wake up one day and find that everything has worked itself out. You must get out of bed, morning after morning, and make a conscious effort to control the circumstances of that given day. You must learn to handle your issues with grace because you respect what they are attempting to teach you. You must drown your insecurities slowly, one self-realization at a time. You must allow yourself to feel the fear bubbling just beneath your skin but you must never allow it the satisfaction of crippling you; grit your teeth and march on. You see, they never tell you how hard these things will be. This fight to reclaim yourself is not easy or straightforward but, my god, is it necessary.
As soon as you wake up, open your curtains and let sunlight into your room! It’ll help wake you up.
Stretch and greet the sun. Ask her to watch over you again today.
Draw a daily tarot card.
Enjoy a cup of tea. Stir clockwise to attract, counter clockwise to banish.
Pick an outfit with color correspondences to match the day. Even if you feel tired, dress in bright colors and smile in the mirror. Manifest the happiness you deserve.
Pocket a small crystal. Amethyst for protection, rose quartz for love, labradorite for courage, moonstone for clarity, etc.
Water and talk to your plants. They protect your home by absorbing negative energy and curses. Thank them!
Cook with intention. Use herbs, colors, and flavors that correspond with what you’re trying to manifest.
Meditate, even if it’s just for five minutes. Set aside time for yourself to empty your mind and relax. During this time, forget about upcoming deadlines, this week’s grocery list, or any other reminder you keep in the back of your mind.
Before you go to bed, review what you’re thankful for. Talk to your deities or just remind yourself of all the good things you got going for you!
Greet the moon and ask her to watch out for you while you rest.
And the wedding was a lot of work, but a lot of fun! We did pretty much everything ourselves, so I didn’t sleep for about a week, but I think it turned out pretty magical. Since there was magic woven into almost every little thing and choice we made, that’s no surprise! From the flower choices, to the colors, to the centerpieces, to the party favors and the style of my dress! So of course I absolutely had to write a post about wedding magic for you all! I’ll be using my own as an example, and hopefully it’ll give you some ideas for you own future, special day! You can use these tips for any big party, too, so don’t limit yourself to weddings! Graduations, birthdays, anniversaries–everything is better with a little magic. 🙂
I’m going to work my way down a list of various choices we had to make for the wedding and explain each one, along with different possibilities. Again, feel free to use all of some of these ideas for parties or even your home decor!
Wedding Magic: Dress to Impress
Our wedding had two brides, but my wife wore a very handsome suit while I wore the big fluffy princess dress! So we both got a lot of the attention. Regardless of what you’re going to wear, you can make it magical! Think colors, and glamours for the most part. My gown was pink, with plenty of sparkle. Pink symbolizes love, romance, hope, etc. It’s essentially a less intense version of the color red. Most brides get married in white or ivory, of course, but you can incorporate color into your jewelry and other accessories. I’ve been set on a pink/blush gown since before we got engaged, and it worked well with my witchcraft. You can incorporate colors into your suits as well, especially with ties, shirt colors and boutonnieres!
Consider your bridesmaids/groomsmen too! I picked out the color (baby blue with pink flower crowns) but had them pick out their own dresses, which I think gave them a lot more personality! I also hate most bridesmaid dresses, so it allowed them to pick out much prettier ones in my humble opinion. Consider putting them into whatever you would like your main color(s) to be, especially if you’re wearing white! They’re your attendants after all, so they’re an extension of yourself and hopefully have the best of intentions for you!
Don’t forget about your glamours! Your intention for your wedding is of course, love, happiness, beauty, hope, longevity, etc.! Envision these things as you get dressed, do your hair, makeup and so on. It’s a good way to start a beautiful day, and a beautiful life.
Wedding Magic: Decor
Besides the couple, the decor might be the most important part of the wedding. We decorated our venue all on our own which gave us plenty of power. Still, you can dictate what you want to your wedding planner to add a magickal flair to your day! There are plenty of ideas below.
Flowers
Flowers are an obvious choice for adding some wedding magic to your day. All of them already have established meanings, and they can be easily used throughout all your decor, real or fake. Our main motif was roses in pink and blue, but we also had hydrangeas! Rose of course symbolize love, with pink roses in particular symbolizing love, gratitude and romance. You can work with your florist to put together something beautiful and meaningful. Think about what flowers hold personal meaning to you, too! My friends and I have a history with hydrangeas and fond memories thereof, so they were a sweet addition to the bouquets. ❤
