Rhythms of the Craft: Why Ritual and Routine Matter in Magick

Hosts: Kristal and Kate

Summary:
In this episode, Kristal and Kate discuss what is ritual and why routines are important to your life and your magickal practice

Show Notes:

Invocation Greeting the Day (0:00-2:14)

Kristal and Kate define routine and ritual. They then delve into routines in their lives; where they come from and the purposes they serve. They continue, discussing the value that ritual brings to their routines. (2:15-10:59)

They break down their morning routines. (11:00-17:35)

Next they chat about other rituals and routines that support their practices. Kristal shares an energetic refreshment and Kate shares her Imbolc ritual. Around Samhain, Kristal refreshes her land and home’s wards. They outline her arriving at work, closing out the week and prepping for the next day routines. (17:36-27:24)

They wrap up the episode with a discussion of the value of these rituals and routines in their lives: they reduce the amount of executive function necessary to get through life and make room for spontaneity. Creating that space allows more room for intuition and magical details. (27:25-32:39)

Final thoughts and call to action: share what it takes to turn a routine into a ritual.

Three Minute Shower Meditation
Golden light washes over and through me
Clearing and cleansing my body, energy body and thought body
From my crown to my palms to the soles of my feet
Clearing and cleansing my skin, fascia, muscle, tendons, ligaments, bone, marrow, blood, cells,organs and systems Cleared and cleansed
Platinum light washes over and through me
Purifying my body, energy body and thought body
From my crown to my palms to the soles of my feet
Purifying my skin, fascia, muscle, tendons, ligaments, bone, marrow, blood, cells,
organs and systems
Purified and shining bright
I call back my energy, wherever it may be, I call back my energy to me
From the places I’ve been and the people I’ve met
In through my heart chakra
Into the pink and green flame there
To be cleansed, cleared, purified and reintegrated into my auric field
Whole, complete
Good morning Void, what shall we do today?
Walk beside me, show me, guide me. Inspire me.
And I will act.

Morning Devotional

Light incense
Good morning earth and universe
Goddesses, guides and guardians
Ancestors and elements
Thank you for my many blessings
Extinguish incense flame
I ask for your blessings and guidance this day.
Please make known my true will's way.
Blessings of opportunity
Blessings of health
Blessings of wisdom
Blessings of wealth
Blessings of pleasure and fun
Blessings from the stars, moon and sun
Blessings of protection and peace
Blessings from the north, south, west & east
That the work of my life will be unimpeded,
That my impact is beneficial where it is needed.
The above is the below
The without is the within
By the powers that be and the power of me
