one minute magic

In this cosmic dance of life, there are moments when fatigue whispers and celestial events pass unnoticed. Time has a way of slipping through our fingers like sand. It can be hard to feel like we’re living with intention and co-creating our reality when we can’t even remember to pay attention to the full moon. Yet, when we pause for a heartbeat, we remember that the magic is not solely in our grand gestures - it sparkles in the mundane tapestry of every day life. It’s up to us to put the magic back into our days, one minute at a time!

1. Light a candle

Lighting a candle is my favorite way to “activate” my space. It’s also one of the most powerful intentions you can make. you can choose a color that corresponds to your intention, a scent that matches your mood, and a place that catches your eye. Think about your intentions while you light the wick, and the flame will do the rest!

2. Stir it up

Did you make magical potions as a child? This is one of my favorite activities because it feels so witchy but in reality no one would ever guess! Before you drink the morning beverage of your choice, take the time to stir it clockwise and call in all the abundance and magic you wish for your day.

3. Make an offering

Before taking a sip of water (which we should all be doing more often) raise your vessel and give a little cheers to the ancestors, spirits, whoever your practice is connected with. It’s a universal gesture that means “here’s to you”, a sentiment that is always appreciated and only takes a second. 

4. Adorn yourself

Hey, you’re getting dressed anyways, right? Putting on one intentional garment is enough to call in energy all day, even if that energy is “don’t you dare talk to me” (I’d recommend all black for that). Colors all have associations with planets and zodiac signs, and crystal jewelry can help keep your vibe aligned!

5. Notice an angel number

It’s a gift to glance at the clock and see repeating numbers- mini portals that opens every hour! Make a wish at 11:11, ring a bell at 2:22, send a quick “thinking of you” text at 3:33… you get the picture! Just take a moment to be mindful when the universe tells you to (or a whole minute, if you have time)
