I’m sure you’ve seen this popular ritual on the first of every month – Blow cinnamon into your doorway. When you do this, it invites prosperity, abundance, and good energy into the home. This is done on the first of the month because it invites new beginnings and sets the energy for the rest of the month.
As A Shaman and root woman, I am a firm believer in the energy around us, rituals, spells, spirit, and the works of the universe. With that being said, I am also a firm believer in our energy mirroring and attracting like energy. Or, being introduced to energy that will encourage change in patterns and behaviors.
I always recommend that, when casting a spell or partaking in a ritual, you be sure this is the energy you want to invite. I know – who wouldn’t want to invite prosperity and abundance, right? Spell and ritual work invite energy into your life, presenting you with the work you need to obtain what you need.
What kind of energy does Spellwork invite, and what does this mean?
When you ask for money, love, freedom, or even peace, you are presented with ways YOU can bring that into your life. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it is not just given to us. We have to work for it, and I don’t mean the kind of work like “Be a good person and get into heaven”, but I mean looking at ourselves and our patterns to figure out why this energy we crave feels blocked from us.
If you ask for Love, the universe will not just give it to you; it will show you all the ways you keep it from yourself, so you know where to make changes. If you are asking for happiness, your spirit will show you all the ways you are unhappy, so you understand what changes need to be made to your patterns. If you ask for more money and better finances, the universe will show you all the ways you are either poorly managing your finances or may need to change your career.
Taking action to break patterns and create change in those areas of your life will then invite the energy you need. So, as I always say, be sure this is the energy you are ready to invite into your life; it is like opening a door to parts of yourself.
Partnership with the Universe
Another good point is that tunnel vision about what you want and how you want it to look will lead to a continuous lack of energy. Your energy attracts like energy. If you are constantly stuck in the energy of wanting and needing it handed to you, perhaps that is the mirrored energy. But, if we change our view and vibration, perhaps to “I’m ready to make changes, what do I need to do?”, then that vibration will meet us.
Of course, speaking all of this is not meant to discourage you from partaking in the cinnamon ritual or any other rituals and spellwork. It’s to let you know how real and important doing the work is. When you begin spellwork, or any other work with the universe, you are agreeing to a partnership – meaning you also have to work and be open to what will be presented to you.
