"ok first I need 5 candles - wait no the wax can melt! ok u will eat a whole thing of salt - no because u can get a sickness! eat 3 marshmallows - nope u can choke! I need something safe!!!
"I found a pack of herbal incense. It's considered safe if used correctly. We'll use that to create a protective circle."
"First, we'll need to cleanse the area. I have some sage here that we can use to clear negative energy."
ok let's start with that then
takes out a bundle of sage and waves it around the area, creating a faint smoke "This will help clear any negative energy and create a safe space for our ritual."
do we all need to close our eyes during this?
"Yes, it's important that we all close our eyes to fully immerse ourselves in the ritual. This will help us focus and connect more deeply with the magic we're about to perform."
closes eyes alright I'm ready.
opens a box filled with various crystals and holds one up "Now, we'll each choose a crystal that resonates with our intentions.
chooses a deep red garnet crystal "This stone represents strength and courage. It will help amplify our transformation."
I'll take the clear quartz.
"Clear quartz is a powerful amplifier of intentions. It will help manifest our desires and protect us throughout our journey."
let's begin the chant together then.
holds up their crystal and begins the chant "We call upon the ancient powers of transformation.
joins in "Bring forth your energy within us. Let our spirits be renewed."
pauses and looks at the moon "Now, let's seal our intentions under the light of the moon.
"We'll each write down our intentions on a piece of paper and then place them in a small bowl filled with moon water."
takes out a notebook and pen "Great! Let's quickly write down our intentions."
hands the notebook to Noah "Now, let's add the moon water." takes a small bowl and pours moon water into it
adds intention to the bowl it's ready.
As they place their intentions in the bowl, a sudden gust of wind blows through the clearing, causing the candles to flicker and the sage smoke to swirl around them.
eyes widen "Yes, the energy is responding to our intentions! This is a good sign."
"Now that the energy is stirred, we need to call upon the ancient forces to manifest our transformations.
how do we call upon them?
"We'll create a sacred circle with our crystals and use movement to invoke the powers of transformation."
how do we create the circle?
"First, we'll need a compass to draw the circle. I have one here." takes out a compass from their pocket
"Once we have the compass, we'll trace a circle on the ground using our fingers.
takes out the compass and traces a circle on the ground "The circle is complete. Now, let's use our crystals to seal the energy within."
what movements do we make?
"We'll start by holding our crystals up high and moving in a clockwise circle, symbolizing creation and manifestation."
moves in a clockwise circle
"Next, we'll move our crystals in a counterclockwise circle, representing release and transformation."
"Now, let's combine both movements, moving in an continuous flow, representing the constant change and evolution of our spirits."
