Emma has pulled together 5 witchy morning rituals for your daily practice, which are low lift but high impact.
As an ADHD witchy Queen, trust me when I say that I used to start the day with trauma rather than rituals. I’d wake up in an insane panic after sleeping through my alarm, rush to the shower, where I would usually have an anxious cry (No, seriously for years I’d find myself crying in the shower trying to get into my head how to start the day and not understanding why I just couldn’t be a morning person and just DO life like ‘everyone else’) throw some clothes, slap some make up on and then run to the tube station. I’d finally reach my destination where I would always, and I mean always, be 5 ….ok, 10 minutes late. Time blindness is real y’all. If you know oh you know. Anyway, one diagnosis and a lot of therapy and shadow work later, I am happy to say that I have now discovered mornings and created ways to make them calm and enjoyable…I just really wanted to highlight the above as I’d hate anyone to read the below and think they were failing at life because they simply suck at mornings especially on a work day. I get it, this is a safe space, darlings. Trust me, if you find it hard to get out of bed….that is a normal reaction to a world that is truly over stimulating and scary at times…<3
Anyway, as mentioned here are some further low lift rituals that you can perform in the morning to get you get ready for the day:
As mentioned above mornings set the tone for your entire day— so why not infuse them with a little intentional witchcraft? Whether you’re a busy witch or just love starting your day with mindful magic, these simple, powerful rituals will help you align with your energy, set clear intentions, and move through the day with purpose. These beginner witch rituals are designed to be quick and accessible, perfect for a soft witch morning routine.
Here are five easy morning witchy rituals I’ve pulled to weave into your daily routine without too much effort….as the days are hard enough, right?
Sunrise Gratitude & Candle Blessing: Manifestation & Positive Energy
Best for: Manifestation & Positive Energy
How to Do It:
- Light a candle – You can even choose a colour to help set up your intentions for the day – e.g. yellow for energy, or green for abundance.
- Stand or sit near a window where you can see the morning light.
- Hold your hands over the flame (safely) and say: “With this light, I welcome the day. May my path be bright in every way.” Or another manifestation of your choice – I love to make my own that suits me.
- List three things you’re grateful for (out loud or in your mind).
- Let the candle burn while you get ready, or snuff it out to relight later.
Why It Works: Fire is a transformational element, and gratitude shifts your energy toward abundance. This simple pagan morning practice helps you focus and set a positive tone.
Tip: Use a small tea light if you’re short on time! Tip: Use an incense stick if you have no candles.
Enchanted Morning Brew (Tea or Coffee Spell): Energy & Intention Setting
Best for: Energy & Intention Setting
How to Do It:
- As you prepare your tea or coffee, stir clockwise and whisper an intention:
- “This brew energises me for a productive day.”
- “This drink fills me with creativity and joy.”
- “This drink will inspire the creativity I need for today’ s ideas meeting’ etc.
- Add magical ingredients:
- Cinnamon (success)
- Honey (sweetness in life)
- Lavender (calm)
- Chamomile (Abundance)
- Before drinking, hold the cup and visualise your day going smoothly.
Why It Works: Kitchen witchcraft is all about infusing intention into everyday actions—sipping your morning drink becomes a spell! This coffee intention setting ritual helps you manifest your desires and boost your energy.
Magical Add-Ins: Try ginger for motivation or mint for mental clarity – or a herb that correlates with whatever you’re intending for the day…and/or lets be real, what you have in the house 😉
3-Card Daily Tarot or Oracle Pull: Guidance & Clarity
Best for: Guidance & Clarity
How to Do It:
- Shuffle your deck while asking: “What do I need to know about today?”
- Pull three cards:
- Card 1: Energy of the day
- Card 2: A challenge to be aware of
- Card 3: Advice for navigating the day
- Journal a quick note or take a photo to reflect on later.
Why It Works: A mini tarot reading helps you anticipate the day’s energy and align your actions. It’s also super useful for those learning tarot as you get to reflect on how the day went which helps you understand card patterns and develop your own interpretations better. This daily card pull ritual offers insightful guidance for your day.
Tips:
- Alternative: Use an affirmation card if you’re short on time!
- Pull a Tarot card of the day if it’s easier.
- Don’t panic! Pull the tower? That doesn’t mean that the day is ruined it could just mean something unexpected and sudden happens etc.
Aromatherapy Anointing (Oil or Perfume Ritual): Confidence & Protection
Best for: Confidence & Protection
How to Do It:
- Choose an essential oil or perfume with magical properties:
- Rosemary (mental clarity)
- Vanilla (self-love)
- Citrus (energy & joy)
- Dab a small amount on your wrists and say an affirmation: “I am protected, confident, and ready for this day.”
- Rub your wrists together to activate the energy.
Why It Works: Scent is deeply tied to memory and emotion—anointing yourself programs your energy for the day. This witchcraft self-care ritual helps you set intentions for confidence and protection.
Witchy Perfume Hack: Use a vanilla-based scent for attraction magic! If you can’t get essential oils then get a perfume that has elements of the scents you wish to use. I am obsessed with this Jo Malone Sage and sea salt scent at the minute.
Quick Crystal Charging Ritual: Grounding & Focus
Best for: Grounding & Focus…and a bit of glamour if you’re channeling an office siren moment.
How to Do It:
- Hold a cleansed crystal (clear quartz for clarity, amethyst for intuition, or carnelian for motivation).
- Place it on a windowsill to catch the morning sun for 5-10 minutes.
- As it charges, set an intention: “This stone holds my focus and strength for the day.”
- Carry it in your pocket or wear it as jewelry.
Pst……I am also a faceroller fan and do this with my crystal face roller as well so when I roll it on my face, I am also setting my intentions. You know we love witch beauty rituals here at Digital Coven!
Why It Works: Crystals absorb and amplify energy—morning sunlight supercharges their power for your daily intentions. This crystal charging ritual is a simple way to boost your energy and focus.
Bonus: Pair with a daily affirmation while holding the crystal.
