When to do it
On a Friday, the day of Venus, or during the waxing moon, at dusk, when jasmine releases its scent. Choose a time without rushing and without screens.
What you need
- A handful of dried jasmine flowers (from a herbalist) or a fresh sprig of common jasmine (Jasminum)
- A small white candle in a stable holder
- A small glass jar with a lid
- A sheet of paper and a pen
- A candle snuffer or a teaspoon
Step by step
- Place the candle in its holder on a stable, heat-proof surface, away from curtains and paper, and scatter the jasmine flowers a hand’s width away. Light the candle and slowly breathe in the scent three times.
- Divide the sheet into three parts and write: three things you offer in love, three things you need to receive and one boundary you no longer want to give up.
- Read what you wrote softly and finish with: “I open myself to a calm love that cares for me and that I care for.”
- Fold the sheet, put it in the jar and cover it with the jasmine flowers. Close the lid.
- Put the candle out with the snuffer or the teaspoon, without blowing. Keep the jar on your bedside table and, for seven nights, open it for a moment before sleeping, smell the jasmine and repeat the phrase.
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.
To finish
After the seven nights, keep the sheet in a special book and return the flowers to the soil of a plant pot. Never leave the candle burning unattended or within reach of children or pets. Use common jasmine and do not confuse it with so-called yellow or Carolina jasmine (Gelsemium), which is toxic; the flowers are for the ritual only and are not to be eaten. To keep growing tenderness, pair it with the vanilla ritual.
