Gratitude Stones Weeds through concrete by Chris F Wicca is a natural religion that honors the seasonal changes of the earth, the cycles of the moon, and the movement of the sun in our sky. There is proof of our religion everywhere you look from the weeds growing through your concrete during Ostara to the darkest day of the year at Yule. Our Sabbats are spokes of the Wheel the Year where we pay special attention to what is happening in nature and our place in it. Since many of us in the city don’t live on a farm where we grow our own food, the agricultural meanings of the Sabbat don’t really pertain to us in the literal sense. However, we can still use these tides of the earth in our everyday lives. In the beginning of the year, during Imbolg, we start to plant the seeds of things we want to accomplish in the coming year, kind of like a New Year’s Resolutions. At Ostara, we see those ideas start to grow like little shoots of our hard work coming to fruition. At Bealtaine and Litha, our ideas should be in full bloom and the things we need should be ready for harvest. During Lammas and Mabon, is when we finally harvest and use those ideas and things we have been tending to throughout the year. Mabon or Autumn Equinox specifically is the time of Thanksgiving where we are grateful for receiving everything we have worked for and we hope for the return of that abundance in the coming year. Assorted Crystals by Kaboompics Our founder, Lady Morgana, would give us gratitude stones that we kept with us at all times, either in a backpack or purse, or wherever you would be able to touch it. Now, it was not supposed to be used as some sort of daily affirmation of gratitude. Rather, whenever your hands touched it while you were rummaging through your bag, you were supposed to stop and take a moment to name and think about one thing you were grateful for. Best lunch by Alejandro Aznar Find one of your favorite stones, or a cool rock, or a small gift that someone made for you and turn that into your gratitude stone. Carry it with you in a safe place where you know your hand will accidentally touch it. When it does, stop and acknowledge anything you’re grateful for, no matter how small. “Thank you for my car” “I am grateful for my puppy dogs.” “My partner is the best part of my life” “I have the coolest collection of magical stones” “Thank you for the bowl of ramen in my lunchbox.” At Mabon especially, I like to remind our coven to stop, think, and acknowledge things you are thankful for. Because if you don’t, you’ll start to take them for granted. And we all know how the Universe’s sense of humor works. Be thankful and grateful for the things you have, lest it be taken away. We needs to keep those seeds of our hard work close to us during Samhain and Yule. Continue to give them gratitude, love, and nurturing so that we can plant them during next Imbolg to see the cycle start again. Follow Inner Circle Sanctuary on Facebook & Instagram.
