This year, try writing your New Year's resolutions in dragon's blood ink on a square piece of parchment paper. This ink is traditionally used for spells involving strength and power. Then, upon the paper sprinkle a bit of dried mugwort, and roll it into a tube and secure it in the center with a red ribbon. Anoint a new white candle with bergamot oil as you state your resolutions aloud. Light the candle and then use its flame to set fire to the rolled-up parchment. Cast the parchment into a small cast iron cauldron (or other fireproof con-tainer) and thrice recite the following incantation: "To the flames my words are spoken as the newborn year unfolds. Resolutions be not broken, promises be upheld." |
