So it’s been a long time since I have really blogged anything other then product reviews. I have been though so much stuff the last two years since getting married. As crazy as this is about to sound I got married, lost my father, had a baby, and lost everything my family and I have ever owned in a fire. So its been a crazy time on top of normal life stress and just the responsibility of being a Mother, a Wife, and trying to find time for SELF!
I am just now moving into this more personal space with my life, business, and spiritual path. I have recently discovered a whole new way to view life and on a more Pagan path. This is my first birthday on my new path and I wanted to find a new way to celebrate it. Rather people like to admit it or not a lot of America’s holidays stems from Pagan holidays/beliefs. I could go on and on about that topic alone, but instead I put together some ideas a long with things I am doing to celebrate my new path/birthday.
Each year around your birthday you experience a solar return. This is when the sun reaches the exact degree it was at the moment you were born, a return to its original position. It’s like a 000restore point for wholeness and reaffirmation of your unique energy signature. At your solar return all your cells are illuminated by the specific starlight codes you chose to incarnate with to support your life’s mission.
It’s Pisces season ☽◯☾
Morning Ritual
The best place to start with your ritual is in the morning. Take your time and enjoy this morning of your birth nothing should be urgent or rushed. Plan ahead so you can have some personal time for some self-love and Care. Its your birthday so you deserve to unwind and relax. You know just Breathe! 
If you have an Altar decorate it with items that repent your birth. Use pictures and drawing from your childhood or anything that connects you to your child self. You can also add your favorite flowers, herbs, and crystals. Add whatever has meaning and speaks to you connects to your soul. 
Make yourself a special magical breakfast,bring it to the altar. Savor each bite the scent and flavor of your coffee or tea. Delight in the glorious taste of your breakfast. Think about how many mornings you’ve had the pleasure to see on this earth. See if you can conjure the emotion of some of your best mornings and embody that emotion for as long as you can. This will help bring past meaningful birthday to mind and will help you connect to the rest of the day.
Light a candle and thank your guides (God or Goddesses) for all of their love and support they’ve seen you through some serious times and showing gratitude for their guidance will make you feel more connected to the universe. If you don't have a God or Goddess then thank your ancestors or the ones that have helped you or who you share your birthday thanks with. Like your Mother who had you.
Meditate with your favorite music and devote some time to mindfulness.Take in the sounds, the smells, and tap into your inner self. Don’t forget to use essential oils and incense to help open your third eye. You can go on YouTube and even find a meditation that is for your zodiac or anything you may want to meditate on. Connect with Nature
Research and studies have shown that nature resets the body’s clock. Our first mother is nature rather we realize it or not. Spend some time outside enjoying the beauty, even in the rain, snow or a storm. Can help our bodies natural biological clocks reset. Now don’t go put yourself in an unsafe place, but opening the window during a storm and sipping tea can be connecting with nature.
- Take a walk. Your favorite walking trail, park or wild forest. Breath in the beauty of nature. Take your time and try to discover something new you have never seen before.
- Stop on your path and close your eyes. Listen to the world and let your breath flow at a natural pace.
- Go for a swim. Pick a good place like a lake, ocean or natural hot-springs to relax.
- Look for things that speak out to you on your walk. Rocks, feathers, wild herbs or plants ( make sure to always respect nature, and only pick plants that you know for sure are not poisonous).
Ritual Bath
First things first, pick the time of day you want to do your bath. You can do it in the Am or PM. I like to do my Birthday bath at the time I was born, so afternoon for me. 
You can next smudge your bath space or were you are going to do your bath at. Smudging helps clear the space of negative energy and emotions. Having a fresh negative energy free space is best. Next you will want to gather your supplies. Fill a sachet with your favorite flowers & herbs (some flowers can be added right to the bath). 
The flowers I used where white roses, pink carnations, white baby's breath, purple and yellow daisies. I used the herbs chamomile, 4 anise stars( 4th is my birthday), lavender, and sage. I also added pink Himalayan salt and for an extra magical kick I added blue food coloring to tint my water (not needed but just like it). Even can use a glitter bath bomb if you like. I also do some beauty treatments like facemasks.
Make sure to fill your space with lots of candle light and smells. You can add essential oils to your bath also or anything you feel will help you relax more. I used sweet orange, lavender, rose, and A ling a ling essential oil. I like to sit and do a meditation to relax more. Feel free to add a relaxing snack and or drink to sip in the bath. I had wine with some cannabis honey tincture I made. Don't forget to add any music that relaxes you.
Reflection
Get out your journal/BOS and write about some of the more challenging and difficult ordeals you lived through. Really let your emotions go! This is the time to feel that pain of the past. To write it out and leave it on the page. How did you make it through this childhood/birthday related pain? What did you learn? If you have any bad feelings about childhood birthdays (maybe they weren’t honored or perhaps you had a parent or loved one who couldn’t be there), this is the time to think about it, to feel it, and to write it. Remember this is self -love as well. To often we walk around with pain from our childhood not realizing how it really affects us in our adult lives. 
Create some art in your book. Write some poetry. Use your time creating in different creative ways. Use mags and decoupage, color an adult coloring page, paint. Whatever speaks to you and helps you release is all part of self-care.
After diving so deep into my past I like to do a 5-10 minute meditation just for my zodiac sign. Here is a video that I used during my Birthday ritual.
Look to the future year
You can do a birthday tarot reading. Here is the birthday spared I used with my Goddess Tarot cards. I found this on Pinterest from Emerald Lotus Divination You can read more about how the Birthday Tarot Spread works on Emerald Lotus Divination website.
Your Day Your Way!
Do what makes you happy and for me happiness comes in the form of Food! So don't forget to pick all the foods you enjoy the most. I had wine and strawberries for my bath. This year I wanted a magical cake and it so happened I got to test a Unicorn Cake Topper with bonus of Unicorn Cupcake Toppers (“I got this product for free/at a discount in exchange for a review, but all opinions are my own.”). I added flowers, crystals, and edible luster dust. You can get our own Magical Unicorn Cake Topper on Amazon.
Most importantly
Remember that its your day and you should spend it dong things that heal and restore yet prepare you for your new birth year. I have more ideas for people who follow the craft just head over to my Pinterest and give it a look ☽◯☾ don't forget to follow me on Pinterest. Love Tisha
