Honey ritual to sweeten love (with candle)
This ritual does not try to bind anyone or force another person’s feelings: its purpose is to sweeten how you treat yourself and open you to healthy, respectful, mutual love. Honey stands for the sweetness you want to give and receive.
In short: This ritual does not try to bind anyone or force another person’s feelings: its purpose is to sweeten how you treat yourself and open you to healthy, respectful, mutual love. You need 4 simple items and 6 steps. When: During a waxing moon or on a Friday, the day traditionally linked to Venus.
When to do it
During a waxing moon or on a Friday, the day traditionally linked to Venus. Choose a quiet moment in the evening.
What you need
- A teaspoon of honey
- A cup of warm water
- A small pink or white candle in a stable holder
- Paper and a pen
Step by step
- Tidy a quiet corner. Place the candle on a non-flammable surface and the cup of warm water in front of you.
- Stir the honey into the warm water calmly. Light the candle.
- Write three ways you want to care for yourself and three qualities of healthy love (for example: respect, listening, tenderness).
- Read the list softly while looking at the flame and finish with: "I open myself to a love that is good for me and I treat myself with kindness."
- Take a few sips of the sweetened water as a symbol of taking in that intention.
- Put out the candle with a snuffer, keep the paper somewhere special and, if water is left, water a plant with it.
Safety first
Never leave a lit candle unattended. Place it in a stable, heat-resistant holder away from curtains, paper, children and pets, and put it out with a snuffer.
These rituals are symbolic. Do not ingest herbs or oils, ventilate the room when burning incense or herbs, and never perform a ritual to harm or control anyone.
