Welcome to the other side of the New Year portal.
While we’ve crossed the threshold into something invariably new, many find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and filled with dread this time of year. Understandable, but a portal is not a thing to be wasted – and so we begin. Slowly, with a journal over a cup of tea.
The contents of the box were curated to support you through this annual re-set. We will move through this magic with the intention to clarify visions, to re-hydrate the physical and etheric body, and create our own lighthouse in this dark corner of the year.
Through ritual, we will ourselves toward renewal. No matter where we are now, this practice is a time to check our compass for True North.
May peace find you in this ceremony. May you soon be on your way.
So be it, so it is.

Approximate ritual time: 90 minutes
Suggested timing: The quietest part of your day, when you have the most mental and emotional spaciousness. In the early morning hours, a private afternoon, or before bedtime. New or waxing moon.
Choose a comfortable quiet location to perform your ritual. Unpack your ritual box's contents and lay them before you on a clean, uncluttered surface. Breathe deeply for 7 seconds in, 7 seconds pause, 7 seconds out.
1. Scan the QR code for our bespoke Spotify playlist and press play (we recommend playing it in order rather than shuffling).
2. Strike a match from the Everyday Magic matchbox and light your mini candle. The aromas of eucalyptus, pine, linen and vanilla evoke waking up in a warm bed on a sparkling snow day. Created to enliven the mind and soothe the nervous system as you journey inward.
Eucalyptus is associated with the element of Air and has properties of purification, clarity, healing, and protection. Pine with the element of Earth and brings protection, grounding, healing, and renewal. Vanilla with the element of Water and calls in comfort, happiness, warmth, and clarity.
As you light the candle speak the following incantation:
I call upon the spirit of Fire
a flame to draw the hidden choir.
I summon the North, steady and still,
Earth beneath me, cradle my will.
I petition the East, where winds unwind
scatter the fog, leave wisdom behind.
South’s flame eternal, bold and bright,
show me a way that is worthy and right.
West, where the waters heal and flow,
carry my grief where the wild tildes go.
Above and below, within and without,
enshrine my words in an unbroken vow.
3. As your candle warms, put the kettle on. Fill your tea sachet with 1-2 tablespoons of Nourish tea and place inside the mug. This enchanted blend contains raspberry leaf, nettle, rose hips, and chamomile, which promote growth, vitality, healing, protection, courage, and strength. Allow to steep for 10 minutes while staying present with your breath, the music, and the aromas in the air. Take this time to ground your nervous system and open your heart and mind to this ritual.
4. Hydrate your skin with the Glacial Waters cooling face mist. This ultra nourishing mist contains soothing botanicals such as aloe, orange blossom, white willow, oat straw, and neroli; and cooling components of tea tree, eucalyptus, and peppermint to refresh and awaken the senses.
Gifts of earth, root leaf and bloom,
you warm and mend, you cool and soothe.
All glory be to nature’s art,
to mend the flesh, restore the heart.
What fallows in the winter garden
will be renewed by Springtime’s pardon.
*Be sure to close your eyes when misting your face! If you have sensitive skin, we recommend doing a quick test spritz on the back of your hand.
5. Work your fluorite wand around the circumference of your head, over your throat, and down to your heart center. Repeat this in an upward motion (from heart to crown). As you do this, repeat these words 3 times:
I create as I speak.
It will be created with my words.
6. With a pen in-hand, and fluorite wand by your side, get into a comfortable seated position with your Reset Guide. Take your time familiarizing yourself with this potent & holistic tool. In its pages, you will find stimulating prompts for reflection and visualization, energetic questionnaires, art, poetry, and more. This guidebook will serve you long beyond this ritual and will be a point of return any time you’re in need of newfound clarity.
Take your time here. Follow your intuition as to what parts of this guide resonate with you here and now. You may feel compelled to skip the “past” section having recently performed cord cuttings, portal closings, or clearings. Or, you may feel this is a necessary step that cannot be missed. Trust your inner knowing.
Spend at least 40 minutes in quiet reflection with this as your guide.
7. When you’ve finished your reflections and have gained clarity of intention, take your bayberry incense matches in hand. With each match, a wish is carried. Focus on your intention, strike the match, and speak your wishes aloud it into the flame before blowing it out and letting your wishes waft through the air & into fruition.
Sacred smoke, traverse the veil,
guide my path to fortune’s grail.
What I seek, seeks me anew,
for each wish made, a wish come true.
Gentle winds guide my intent,
all that returns is heaven-sent. 8. Complete your ritual by taking a cool shower by candlelight. Allow the water to wash away any energetic residue and purify your spirit. Finish with warm water to comfort your senses. Put on clean, comfortable clothes, and if you can, hop right into bed & float peacefully into dreamland.
