COLOUR WITCH’S ADVENT ~ BLACK ~ 2nd December
The Descent. Surrender. Deep Rest.
Black is the beginning of everything. The pause in the chaos. The colour of overwhelm, yes - but also the colour that says: “Put it down, Witch. You don’t have to hold on to all of this.”
We all know that his time of year is a lot. Everyone’s tired. Everyone’s pulled in so many different directions. And most of us pretend we’re fine until we crash in a heap on the sofa with a cuppa that’s gone cold and another list of things we still haven’t done.
Black doesn’t expect us to power through.
Black encourages us to stop fighting the tide.
This is the part we tend to skip because it feels unproductive.
But Black is not failure.
It’s the deep breath before everything begins to make sense again.
Perfect for the start of December, which has so many conflicting emotions running through it.
So, for today’s Colour Witch Advent: Here’s a short Black ritual for surrendering to the overwhelm
Sit still for sixty seconds
Put your feet on the floor - everything uncrossed to allow the energies to flow, and just breathe.
Ask yourself one question
“What is heavy that I don’t need to carry today?”
Let the first thing that comes to mind be the truth.
Write it down
One sentence. That’s it.
Fold the paper once
Nice and neat. This is symbolic.
Put it somewhere dark
A drawer, a coat pocket, the bottom of your bag.
Black holds what you’re not meant to wrestle with right now.
Say this quietly
“I surrender what isn’t mine to carry. I rest so I can find the strength to
rise again.”
If you want to share what came up for you, feel free to comment below, I’ve got a feeling that a lot of us may be experiencing similar things today. Call back on Thursday for - CORAL
