I use a small blessing every day in my current practice. Dear Goddess and God, I give thanks from the bottom of my heart for the abundance I have in my life. For those blessings past (reflect on those people, memories, situations etc) For those blessings current ( reflect on what do you have now you can be grateful for? Even if it’s a roof over your head ) And For those blessings yet to come ( reflect on the thought that we can have an active part in our future blessings through magic) I give you deep gratitude ( visualise gratitude and/ or appreciation emanating from your heat centre into the Universe for a few moments) Blessed be How do you express your gratitude in your magical practice?

Using gratitude has brought me out of challenging situations and has manifested miracles in my life. It has become the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning and the last thing I do before bed. It’s a habit now. Plus I always thank my Angels and Guides.
Y'all sound so amazing! I was wallowing in my frozen state of being overwhelmed and by just reading these posts it has really lifted my spirits and reminded me of the small things that really do make the world go round. I sincerely believe if everyone could see the positive in everyday life and be grateful for everyday blessings and give back to one another and Mother Earth then it really could be a different world Thank You everyone !
Ariel, I love the blessing you posted! I will start to use it too. And here are some of the things I do already.
When I wake up in the morning and look out the window, I do the following greeting (it's very location specific as I try to be attuned to this spirits of this place):
Good morning Mt. Konocti, good morning Clearlake,
Good morning Grandmother, Grandfather trees,
Good morning house and land that shelters me.
Good morning to the [local] ancestors, good morning to the wights.
Good morning to my deities, ancestors, thought forms and guides,
And to the spirit of Meowington wherever he abides.
Good morning to the people, plants and animals,
My children from afar,
Good morning to the sun, the moon, the stars,
The air, the mist, the rain,
The fire that warms us, the earth that nourishes us,
and the spring that feeds us.
Thank you for this good day, and thank you to the founders of this feast.
Mahalo!
I also have daily and weekly practices with offerings to the deities and guides I work with. Thanking them is always part of it. And speaking of thanks--I thank you, Ariel, for your teachings and community building!
Hi! Just want to say thank you everyone for their positive posts.
Ugh! I have to be honest and simultaneously, I am embarrassed to say so...right now...I am having a hard time feeling gratitude. I feel isolated, hurt, angry....and that's the wrong type of energy to have to practice magic. How do you find gratitude in the midst of such anguish?
That is an interesting tip, I shall try it out! See how it works. Thanks!
when I find myself in any kind of line or being on hold, i remember To list things for which I’m grateful.
Expressing gratitude for me, has usually been just feeling the gratitude and saying a silent 'thanks'. But of late I have introduced regular offerings and gratitude psalms periodically, usually 65 or 150..
