Merrie Meet
This post is primarily aimed
at the new wytch, but it can apply equally well to experienced practitioners of
The Craft.
Here we will be looking at a
few steps you can take to allow your practice to flow into other areas of your
life so that you don’t have to leave your Magick behind you if you move into a
different area of your home or need to go to a different location for work.
The reality is that your
Magick should be with you wherever you go because your magickal practice is an
extension of who you are. It is a living
thing, you create it with your dreams, hopes and intentions as you interact
with the Universe and the spaces you occupy.
If you can create spells at
your altar for financial abundance or a new partner, then why should that
magick be left on the altar when it could be as effective in the space where
you are working?
There are many ways that you
can allow your magick to be wherever you are working or what your job happens
to be!
All that it takes is
intention and a few small changes and you can bring magick to your work,
irrespective of whatever you do for a living.
I use magick in my workspace
because it helps me be happy especially when things get stressful because I can
use my magick to help me become more grounded and centred plus it helps me keep
smiling. As I grow, my magick often
helps me perform at a higher level than usual which has to be a good thing.
So now let us consider some
ways that a workspace can be turned into something of a wytch’s retreat.
a) try to pick a spot where there is as much natural
light as possible
b) try to include as many of the magickal elements as
you can – earth air water fire and spirit
c) decide on the intention that you want to bring to the
space – because your intention should determine which items you use.
Think about what you want to
improve in your work environment such as:-
Increased responsibility
More positive relationships
Career improvements
From your list select one or
two items and check in with yourself once or twice a month to see how things
are improving. You can always adjust
and change these as you feel.
Remember that you are always
in a state of growth and flux so everything should grow and change around you.
Always be mindful of the fact
that some of your colleagues might be a little unsettled by magickal items in
the work place but there are things that you can comfortably used everyday
without drawing attention to yourself
You can bring crystals into
your work space without causing anyone concern, they can sit on your desk, they
are good to look at and very easy to integrate into your workaday life.
If you don’t feel
comfortable having crystals on your desk, you could wear such things as Crystal
Pendants, bracelets earrings and even key chains
Pot Pourri can be useful if
you want to bring herbs into your workspace, or you could change to drinking
herbal teas in the office. If you are
not in an office setting you could carry herbs around in a small cloth bag or
even a sachet – if your car is your workspace your magickal herbs can be great
air fresheners
If you want to use essential
oils then an inexpensive diffuser is a great tool but if a diffuser is not
practical simply dab a few drops of your essential oil (diluted in a carrier
oil) on your inner wrists.
Finally we all find that
sometimes things at work can turn a bit negative, so using the following tools
will help bring things back into balance
Pot plants – keep the air
and the energy clean
Meditation cushion – this
can be used at times during the day or for a gratitude practice
Herbal Pot Pourri – you can
use sage for its extra cleansing powers
Thieves Oil – in your
diffuser will help clear negativity quickly
An Amethyst crystal – to
help combat negativity
A water fountain – improves
air quality by adding negative ions to the air plus the sound of trickling
water helps with stress and anxiety.
So in conclusion these ideas
will give you a starting point to help you bring your Magick into the
workspace, however it may be best to begin slowly and remember it is up to you
to determine how you bring your Magick into the workplace so that it is aligned
with your own personal needs.
