Ritual of The Week 9/21/25
: Water of Clarity & Protection
■ Purpose
To cleanse away confusion, block negative energy, and invite clarity, balance, and
ancestral guidance for the week ahead.
■ Materials
• 1 clear glass bowl or cup of fresh water
• 1 white candle (for purity and guidance)
• A small pinch of salt (for cleansing)
• A few herbs or leaves if available (basil, sage, or bay leaf; or any local cleansing
leaf)
• A quiet space
■ Steps
**Prepare the Space** – Place the bowl of water on a clean surface. Add a pinch of
salt and, if available, add herbs or a bay leaf. Set the white candle beside it.
**Invocation** – Light the candle and say: 'Ancestors and guiding spirits, clear away
confusion and darkness. Let this water carry protection, clarity, and balance into my
life this week.'
**Cleansing Action** – Dip your fingers into the water and gently sprinkle it around
yourself (or lightly rub on your forehead, hands, and feet). If in class, students can
each touch the water and cleanse their own forehead.
**Affirmation** – Together, recite: 'I walk in clarity. I stand in truth. No weapon formed
against me shall prosper. My path is open and protected.'
**Closing** – Leave the candle burning safely until it finishes or for at least 15
minutes. The water can be poured outside at the base of a tree or onto the earth,
returning the energy back to nature.
■ Weekly Guidance
Best done on **Monday morning** (to start the week fresh) or **Sunday evening** (to
prepare). If done as a group in class, each student connects to the bowl of water,
sharing one energy of gratitude or intention before cleansing themselves.
