January 1, 2012 there is a Moon in Aries (a time of new beginnings)
"Your guardian angel is holding the divine blueprint for your life and whispering it to you. It's a good time to listen as the New Year starts."-Diane Cooper
1. The twelve grapes-You get twelve grapes and at the strike of midnight you eat each grape which represents all twelve months. As you eat each grape you make a wish for the new year. The more you believe in it and smile the better! :) This is my mom's fave.
2 Wear a specific color that represents what you wish to bring in your new year.-Some always say wear read underwear if you wish to have a lot of love in your new year or a new romance. I say wear it any way you want to and if you want to bring in more wealth wear green. A good idea for 2012 since it is the year of the dragon is to wear colors that represent the dragon and that is orange and red. (you can use such colors in candles too if you wish to burn a candle for New years eve. Maybe you want to create an alter so you can use colored candles too.)
3. Write a list!-Writing lists are my fave and is a simple and perfect way to ring in the new year. I did this with my boyfriend last year and it felt really nice to do it together. (hint hint if you have a partner or do it with family and friends) Now this list represents your intentions and wishes for the new year. It can be long or it can be short. Now once you have created it when it strikes midnight or at least a few minutes after burn the list! Be safe and burn it outside or in the bathroom if you don't want to burn it then just flush it down the toilet. By doing this you are releasing it and allowing the universe and God to conspire on your behalf and wishes. Maybe they will know the best way to get you what you want so let it go and trust.
Another list you can create if you want is a list of the things you need to let go of or the people you need to forgive. This list you can also burn or flush down the toilet.
I know some people like to keep the first list of intentions and wishes in their alters or sacred space through out the whole year. You can do this too.
4. Create an alter or decorate a table in your home with lots of symbols, festivity, joy and spiritual objects that you like. Add candles if you like and each person who wishes to part take in lighting a candle for their new year can add theirs on the table or alter too. Remember you can use colored candles too that represent something you wish to bring into your new year. If you do not pick a colored one you can choose any candle you like and you can inscribe your first name or initials on it with a tooth pick this means it represents you and holds your intentions. If you can't inscribe it on the sides do it on the top. Remember have fun and be creative.
5. Bean Blessing-(Witch Bree) Here is an ancient way of casting out demons and bringing new tidings for your friendships and family. In ancient times, many pagan people--from the Greeks to the Incans--believed beans contained evil spirits. Buy a bag of dried beans and invite your friends over. Go to your roof or where ever you can "get high". Start throwing beans down one at a time, with each toss calling out whatever you want to kiss good bye--a job, a bad relationship, etc. After discarding all the discord from your life, you and your friends can celebrate the lifting of all burdens.
6. Clean!-yes that simple clean your home, your room, your car, your work area. Oh and if you are like me that has a lot of statues of saints and angels please clean them before the new year. I learned this not sure how but I heard that they also wish to be cleansed so that they can keep giving you all of their bright energies. Today I cleaned my room and got rid of a lot of paper and garbage. I also enjoyed cleaning my saints and angels. I still need to go through other drawers. Mop, sweep and get rid of what you don't want or need anymore! I almost forgot cleanse your crystals too! You can do it by laying them under sun shine. Or by cleansing them in water. (if you know a better way please share or comment)
7.Bless or smudge your home!-My mom mentioned something about la siete iglesias-seven churches. What this means is you gather holy water from seven different churches and you mix them together and use it to bless the home. You can use this or any holy water or spiritual perfumes/sprays that you have to bless your home. Smudging is a way to cleanse your home and get rid of old and negative energy. You can use white sage or cedar. Be very safe with this! For clear and accurate instructions please refer to this link http://www.facebook.com/notes/kalpulli-teocalli-ollin/smudging/186370348101667.
8. Let your guardian angel or the angels know your feelings and thoughts about letting go of the old year and preparing for the new year. The angel for Sunday which it turns once it hits midnight is the great Archangel Michael. So when midnight hits you can talk to him and let him know all that you wish to share about the new year and what you hope for. Archangel Michael is great at taking away your fears and cutting any cords connecting you to people or situations that are blocking and draining you. He can help you release!
9. Be you. Be creative. Be in the moment. Be hopeful. Be the energy that you hope 2012 will be like. Accept all the new beginnings to come! and let everything be.
No matter what you do or where you are I hope you have a happy new years eve! Sending you lots of angels and light! To a great and amazing 2012 for us and the world! Cheers....
