Before you begin:
- you will need an hour of undisturbed time
- you should make sure you have a plan in place with your support network in case you need help processing emotions this ritual may stir up
Supplies:
- Large bowl filled with water and 1/2 cup sea salt
- 12 white carnations
- image of quan yin, image of yourself
- optional extras: incense, soothing music playing, candles, etc.
The ritual:
- Chant “Om Mani Padme Hum” nine times
- Take three cleansing breaths
- Bow in reverance to the Goddess and in acknowledgment of your pain
- Journey within and allow yourself to feel the hurts of the past that you still hold
- Using 9 of the carnations, imbue them with your pain
- Name your pains aloud, tearing off flower petals and tossing them into the salty water
- Make sure that all parts of the nine flowers (stems too) are torn up and added to the water
- Once you have grieved these pains in full, sit and reflect
- When ready, take the three remaining flowers and hold them to your heart
- Ask the Goddess to fill you with self-love and compassion
- Take the three flowers and place one in front of the image of yourself, give one in offering to the Goddess, and place one on your pillow to bless that night’s rest
- Return the salty water to the Earth in a source of natural water near your home (the same day as you perform the rite) or flush it down the toilet (a little at a time) as a last resort

Hello,
“A Goddess is a Girl’s Best Friend”
Good title, but I might comment something. To me the Goddess is my Divine Mother. She is right now my best friend. She is who helps me clean out my inner clutter. She has been there whenever I have called on Her.
But SURPRISE!!!!
I’m a man……………
I think it’s wonderful that for men to be able to connect with the Goddess.
It’s important for women to connect with the male aspect of the Divine as well.
I have this book and I can’t believe how lovely that ritual sounds. I have so many books and don’t always use what they have in them. I think it’s time I do.
Lady Willow - I too have a ton of resources right at my fingers with bookshelves overflowing — part of my push to clearing away the clutter in my house is so i can uncover the true gems and make space and time in my life to put them to good use.
Bright blessings, Lady Rose
Lady Willow -
Im so glad you liked it. Together Lady Rose and I have more books than you can shake a broomstick at (LOL) and we plan to share more bits and pieces from them on the blog as time goes by.

Oh I’m definitely a book lover. I’ve got your witchy reads, your fictional reads, some inspirational. I don’t have any room on my bookshelf for books anymore. I have been selling some of the ones I no longer use so that helps but at the rate I purchase books, I will never have enough room, haha.
