The Herb Infusion Ritual:

Rooted in ancient herbal traditions, this contemporary ritual harnesses the healing properties of plants to support your intentions.

What You’ll Need: - A handful of dried herbs (like rosemary for clarity, basil for protection, or thyme for courage) - A small jar or bottle - A carrier oil (such as olive, coconut, or jojoba) - A serene workspace, ideally in a sunlit area or by a window

The Ritual:

Prepare Your Space: Locate a sunny area in your home where you can sit comfortably and concentrate on your ritual. Arrange your herbs, jar, and oil in front of you.

Set Your Intention: Take several deep breaths to ground yourself. Reflect on what you wish to manifest—whether it’s confidence, clarity, or protection. Visualize your intention infusing the herbs as you hold them.

Create the Infusion: Layer the herbs in the jar thoughtfully, speaking your intention aloud, saying something like, “With these herbs, I call upon nature’s energy to support [your intention].” Pour the carrier oil over the herbs, filling the jar, and seal it tightly.

Infuse with Sunlight: Position the jar in a sunny spot, preferably on a windowsill, and let it sit for several hours (up to a week if possible). As the sun infuses the oil, envision it charging your intention with Leo’s vibrant energy.

Use the Oil: Once the infusion is ready, strain the herbs from the oil if desired, or leave them for added potency. You can use this oil to anoint your pulse points for confidence, add a few drops to your bath for clarity, or incorporate it into future rituals. Reconnect with your intention each time you use the oil.

Close the Ritual: Express gratitude to the elements—fire (Leo), earth (the herbs), and the sun (Virgo’s ruler)—for their support in manifesting your intention. Store the jar in a special place, accessible whenever you need to draw upon its energy.

This ritual channels the age-old power of herbs, combining it with the sun's invigorating influence to create a lasting tool that supports your intentions.
