Whatever ideas or illusions we have about what we can and cannot control in our lives have been shattered. Here are some ways we can bring some light into this moment of darkness.

A Serenity Ritual for Powerlessness 

Growing up, my mother always said the serenity prayer: 

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. 

Although neither of us is religious, it always comforted me, especially in times when I felt like life was spiraling out of control. In this ritual, I borrow from that prayer and adapt it to a magical practice. 

Materials 

• A small item that represents you (e.g., a piece of jewelry or a photograph of yourself)
• 5 stones from outside or 5 crystals of your choice (smoky quartz works well for clarity of mind and cleansing). They should be cleansed with water or smoke. (Read more in “Caring for Your Crystals.”)
