Resources mentioned during the episode

Winter Solstice Pinecone Blessing Spell

1. Write down 13 wishes that you want to see happening in 2024 in your journal or grimoire.
2. Start on the solstice, writing your wishes and folding them into small squares. Place them in a bowl or jar and shake them up. All 13 wishes must be something that you can actually handle.
3. Take each one and place 12 of them into the pinecone leaving one out. Do not read them!
4. Drip red or white wax over the pinecone to seal them into the pinecone.
5. Once all 12 are in the pinecone, open the 13th one. This is the one you will have to work on in the physical realm.
6. Set your pinecone onto your altar and each day for the next 12 days, say a blessing over the pinecone and visualize yourself at the end of 2024 with all of your wishes true.
7. On the 12th Day (New Year Day) burn the pinecone and allow all of the energy stored into your wishes to release into the world to manifest.
