As wonderful as the holiday season is . . . it can also be a lot. Dynamics around family, friends, and money all take center stage in a way they don’t throughout the rest of the year. These intense feelings can leave you feeling drained and lacking confidence.

Enter, the December Magic Bouquet. The Magic Bouquets are something I started last January. (Unfortunately, I got sidetracked in April). The intent is to design flowers in such a way that they provide an energy and power boost for a particular season.

I plan to make my Magic Bouquets available to order again in 2022 and hope they will bring an extra zing of power to your corner when you need it.

December has so many great qualities but can also leave some of us feeling a bit run down. The mix of words that can be associated with this month are: family, abundance, jealousy, toxicity, satisfaction, blessing, wanting, left-out, over-extended, exhausted, anxious, not enough, too much, sparkly, cold, candle lit, pine, winter, dark, full, empty, feelings of supposed too, dry.

Thankfully, many of these words represent a temporary state. By acknowledging them, you also move through them and release them so that you can feel liberated, in control, self-assured, confident, and fresh.

Taking all this in mind, I present the elements of the December Magic Bouquet.

Listed below are the ingredients to pack your bouquet full of power, but don’t worry if you can’t find some of the more obscure flowers like Agapanthas or Neurine, your bouquet will still work without them. What really activates the materials, is your intentions in using them.

• Nobel Fir - “Aligned with the Great Goddess and spirit of the forest, the pungent and mystical fir possesses a magical energy like no other”  Fir can help you magnetize abundant wealth.  Fir is also used for the contemplation of shadow work when you are willing to take a deeper look into all the different facets of you being, helping to find truth and clarity. “Open to the fir’s energy and feel yourself receiving an infusion of strength, courage, and wisdom.  Imagine that fir is blessing you with a metaphorical lantern that you can use to shine light in the darkest recesses of your innermost self.” Quotes from Tess Whitehurst - “The Magic of Trees.”
