Leo Season Fire Ritual: Ignite Your Inner Power
Here’s a simple fire ritual to help you tap into Leo’s solar magic and boost your confidence.
🔥 You’ll Need:
- A candle in gold, orange, or red
- A mirror (small enough to hold)
- A piece of paper + pen
- A sunstone or carnelian (optional)
- Essential oil like cinnamon or orange (optional)
✨ How to Perform the Ritual:
1. Cast your circle or ground yourself with a few deep breaths. Light your candle and place it safely in front of you.
2. Hold the mirror and look into your eyes. Whisper Leo season affirmations like:
“I am radiant. I am worthy. I am powerful.”
3. Anoint your pulse points with the oil if you like. Hold the crystal in your hand.
4. Write down one fear or self-doubt you’re ready to release, and one quality you want to embody with fiery confidence.
5. Carefully burn the paper (in a fireproof dish or cauldron), visualizing the flames transforming your fear into courage.
6. Close the ritual with gratitude and a bold declaration: “I am fire. I am magic. I am the Sun.”
