Lynn Pritchard 5/24/2025

Good morning! The summer solstice event was fantastic. From wreath-making to free icy treats, we had so much fun. I loved having Chuck Bergman; he was incredible! I can't wait for him to come back.

This week at Spiritual Uplifts

We are quite busy this week as I prepare for the retreat. I’m excited to work with everyone attending. The retreat is incredibly enlightening and focuses on self-discovery. We do have one spot available if you are interested.

How to Use Bay Leaves For Rituals

Bay leaves, with their glossy green appearance and aromatic scent, are valued not just for cooking but also for their role in rituals focused on manifestation, cleansing, and attracting good fortune, particularly in love and prosperity. Many people write their wishes on these leaves, either burning them to release their energy or keeping them in wallets as reminders of their dreams.

To manifest a desire, write your wish on a bay leaf and burn it while visualizing your goal. Bay leaves are believed to draw wealth and assist in financial endeavors. For love, you can dip the leaf in honey before igniting it. They also possess cleansing properties and are often used on altars to express gratitude.

The ancient practice of daphnomancy interprets the sounds of burning bay leaves to predict the future, making the ritual a holistic experience of intention and scent.

Here are some simple rituals to try with bay leaves:

1. Place a bay leaf in your wallet to attract abundance.

2. Create a money jar with a bay leaf and a note stating your desired amount.

3. Write your manifestation on a bay leaf and burn it while visualizing.

4. Infuse a bay leaf in oil to enhance your intentions.

5. Put a bay leaf in your car for protection.

6. And remember, “It’s also great in pasta! LOL.”

I hope this helps inspire you! Love you all! - Lynn
