Introduction:
Laurel, a plant historically associated with protection, wisdom, and prosperity, has been used in various rituals for centuries. The symbolism of the laurel tree spans across cultures, often representing victory, good fortune, and abundance. In this article, we explore different ways you can incorporate laurel into your daily practices to invite good luck and prosperity into your life. Whether you're looking to enhance your career, attract wealth, or simply bring positive energy into your home, these laurel rituals are easy to follow and powerful in their effects.
Ingredients:
Fresh or dried laurel leaves
A white candle
A small bowl of water
A piece of paper and pen
Essential oils (optional: lavender, rosemary, or frankincense for enhanced energy)
Gold or green ribbon (optional for extra symbolism)
Directions:
Prepare Your Space:
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Clear the area of any clutter to create a calm environment. Light the white candle to symbolize clarity and purity in your intentions.
Write Your Intention:
On the piece of paper, write down your specific goals related to luck or prosperity. This could include financial abundance, success in a new endeavor, or overall well-being. Be as detailed and clear as possible.
Perform the Laurel Ritual:
Hold a laurel leaf in each hand, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Focus on your intention while visualizing your goals coming to fruition. Feel the energy of the laurel leaves infusing your being with positive energy.
Seal the Ritual:
Place the paper with your written intention in the bowl of water. Lay the laurel leaves gently on top of it. As the laurel leaves float on the water, imagine them absorbing your wish and sending it into the universe.
Complete the Ritual:
Lightly anoint the laurel leaves with your chosen essential oil (optional). You can tie a gold or green ribbon around the leaves as a symbolic gesture of prosperity. Place the bowl on your altar or keep it in a safe, visible spot to remind you of your ritual.
Close the Ritual:
Allow the candle to burn out naturally, signifying the closing of the ritual. Dispose of the laurel leaves by burying them in the earth or burning them in a safe space, symbolizing the release of your wish into the universe.
Serving and Storage Tips:
While these laurel rituals don’t involve traditional "serving" or storing like a food recipe, you can store the laurel leaves for repeated use. Keep dried laurel leaves in a glass jar in a cool, dry place to preserve their potency for future rituals. If you wish, you can also keep the intention paper in a safe box or pouch to protect the energy you’ve invoked.
