Ritual Practice

On a blank sheet of paper, draw a simple boat with a single sail. Light a blue candle. Write three words representing what you wish to explore (e.g., 'courage,' 'freedom,' 'heritage') on small paper scraps. Fold each into a tiny boat shape and place them on your drawing. As the candle burns, whisper your intentions to the flame, then carefully burn the paper boats in the candle's flame, watching their transformation into smoke.
