Bless your walking shoes with this simple ritual. Gather a pen, small bit of paper, matches, salt, water, candle, and thurible. Write this charm on the paper: Strong my heart, And fleet my feet, Soon to start, My blood to beat. Send me power That I may last For minutes and hours Along this path. Dissolve a bit of salt in the water. Light the candle. Pass the shoes above the candle and say: By Fire and Air I bless these shoes. Dip your fingers into the salt water and sprinkle it over the shoes and say: By Earth and Water I bless these shoes. Read the charm aloud, then place the paper in the thurible and light it. Visualize the charm's power being concentrated by the flame. Dip a finger into the cooled ashes and draw the rune Uruz-for strength and vitality-inside each shoe. See the aura of empowerment glowing around your sneakers! |
