A wish upon a bay leaf
Turn a passing hope into a clear intention, with a humble leaf from the kitchen.
What you’ll need
- A dried bay leaf
- A pen
- An envelope
The ritual
- Choose one achievable intention and reduce it to a single word.
- Write the word on the leaf gently, or on the envelope if the leaf is fragile.
- Place the leaf in the envelope alongside one practical next step.
- Keep it with your journal and return to your next step in a week. No burning is needed.
