On February 19, this year, the Chinese Lunar New Year will be celebrated, marking the beginning of a festive 15-day celebration. This rich tradition culminates on the final day, which aligns with the Full Moon, when people take to the streets carrying lighted lanterns, expressing their wishes for happiness and luck.
Understanding Chinese New Year Rituals
To appreciate the 15-day festival of the Chinese New Year, it is essential to consider some historical context.
Centuries ago in China, the majority of people were engaged in agriculture and required a calendar to organize their activities. This calendar included information about when to sow seeds, harvest crops, pray, and celebrate festivals. Consequently, the essence of the Chinese calendar is tied to agricultural success; a bountiful harvest was seen as a blessing from the Higher Powers, prompting the people to offer gifts and prayers for prosperity.
Magical Practices for Manifesting Dreams
This article presents a magical practice aligned with the Chinese New Year celebrations. Astrologically, this period is considered favorable for activating internal forces and achieving desired outcomes.
To prepare for this ritual, it is advisable to clean your home and dispose of broken or unnecessary items.
Dress in a new outfit, gather a red candle, and obtain a new round mirror. Additionally, you will need yellow paint and a brush.
Begin by lighting the candle and placing the mirror behind it. Focus on your goals while gazing into the candle's flame, establishing an intuitive connection with the element of fire. Visualize that your dream has already come true and imagine how your life will transform.
For instance, if your goal is to have your own home, a large tree or another object might symbolically appear during this practice. As soon as this emerges in your mind, use the brush and paint to depict it in the center of the mirror. This act helps transfer your desire from the invisible realm to the tangible world, facilitating its realization in your life. Once done, blow out the candle.
Each morning, look at the mirror bearing the symbol and envision your dream fulfilled. In the evening, reignite the candle and repeat the ritual, focusing on the symbol. Carry out this practice for 15 consecutive days. On the 15th day, allow the candle to burn completely. Then, place the mirror with the symbol at the eastern end of your home. Continue to look at the mirror each morning until your dream materializes. When your wish comes true, take the mirror and submerge it in a pond, thanking the Higher Powers for the fulfillment.
Through this practice, you can manifest your dreams and desires during the auspicious time of the Chinese New Year.
