Ritual Practice

Light a white candle. On a small piece of paper, write a habit, belief, or grief you wish to 'bury.' Fold the paper tightly. Place it in a small bowl of soil (from a houseplant). Sprinkle a pinch of salt over it. Speak your release. The next day, empty the soil (and paper) into a living plant's pot, symbolizing transformation into new growth.
