Purpose: A low cost way to make you feel more attractive and give you a new lease on life.
You’ve heard of the Law of Attraction, haven’t you? If not, it goes like this: Whatever messages you send out to the universe, conscious or unconscious, are what you draw back to yourself. The tricky part is ferreting out the unconscious messages that may sabatoge your conscious wishes. And that is EXACTLY what rituals and magick are for.
Freya was The Law of Attraction goddess of her time and place. People petitioned her to make them more attractive. In those times choices about what you could do to make yourself sexy were very limited as compared to today. However, most of us can’t afford all the products and procedures and beautiful clothes designed to turn you into a goddess or god. But that’s okay, because going back to the most basic, survival level still goes the farthest with the unconscious, largely because you can connect with the most people on that level….everybody needs to survive. But…I’m going off on a tangent and I’ll save that for another entry. Let’s move on to the ritual itself.
This ritual is as simple as the Banishing By Water Ritual. Water is very powerful because it relates to the emotions. Often our emotions are the biggest block to happiness because we haven’t trained them to work for us instead of us working for them.
Laundry of Attraction Ritual “Recipe”
1. Get a glass jar or bottle with a lid or stopper on it. Anything will do…even an old (washed) mayonnaise jar. As I have said before, the more practical, the better.
2. Fill the jar or bottle with water and put it in the sun for a day. If you can put it outside that’s good, but not absolutely necessary. Then store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. (See step #3.)
Although charging water with moonlight is often used in magick and is associated with feminine energy, we are using masculine sun energy because a) we’re cleaning away layers of psychic gunk, and b) Freya is a warrior goddess and knows all about using her masculine energy to cut away what isn’t necessary.
3. Here’s the fun part…when you take your clothes off and toss them in the pile to be washed, imagine that you are peeling away a layer of feeling unattractive. Your clothes now represent your unattractiveness.
3a. BONUS: If you want to get really into this, and can spend a little extra money, get a bottle of some sort of linen spray, then spray your clothes to “quarantine” them. I happen to have some Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender linen spray that I received as a gift that is PERFECT for this. Lavender is one of the best for psychic cleansing.
4. When you are ready to do laundry get your bottle of sun water out and pour some of it into your washer with your clothes, imagining that it is now the magickal psychic cleansing water that it is. See your “unattractive” self being washed away with your clothes.
If you’re doing several loads of laundry at once, portion it out so you have enough. Just a splash will do. I recommend using up a whole jar of sun water in one laundry session.
5. Declare out loud that you are washing away your unattractive self and putting on a prettier, handsomer, cuter, sexier -whatever- self. It can be a simple statement or something more spell-like such as:
“Uglies, Uglies, down the drain, my loveliness (handsomeness, etc.) I hereby claim!”
6. When you transfer your clothes to dry, envision the molecules of the air drying them as being positively charged. If you hang them up to dry you can reinforce this every time you happen to look at them.
7. Remember that your clothes are now positively charged when you put them on the next time. You may want to go as far as washing your whole closet, which may in turn lead to you weeding out the clothes you don’t use.
8. You can repeat this process three times on each item of clothing and then stop imagining them as having any negative connotation at all. Instead, tell yourself that your clothes are the perfect representation of your ability to be attractive, and that it’s working. The why of doing it this way is a topic for a whole other blog entry. Mainly you don’t want to keep reinforcing the negative part, but three times seems to be a good number for getting the point across to yourself.
You don’t have to change who you are or even what you wear to make yourself more attractive. This is about making you feel more attractive with who you are, right now, instead of putting on a “costume” and pretending to be somebody you aren’t. How quickly you notice a change depends on a lot of factors, which I will cover in a separate blog entry.
