Hey, magical babes! The New Year is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect excuse to channel all your witchy energy into starting the year off right. Whether you’re setting intentions, cleaning house (literally or spiritually), or just vibing with the sunrise, I’ve got 13 enchanting ways to welcome 2025 like the spellbinding queen you are. Ready? Let’s make some magic!

1. Cleanse and Declutter Your Space

Start the year fresh by giving your home a good old-fashioned clean. Out with the dust, clutter, and stale energy! Clear those corners, organize your witchy tools, and toss anything that doesn’t spark joy—or magic.

Pro Tip: As you clean, imagine sweeping out the old energy and making room for blessings. Bonus points if you use an actual broom for a little witchy flair.

2. Smoke or Sound Cleansing

Grab your favorite smoke-cleansing tool—sage, palo santo (ethically sourced, please!), or incense—and cleanse your space, tools, and crystals. Prefer sound cleansing? Ring some bells, clap your hands, or play a singing bowl to banish negativity.

---

3. Draw an Intention-Infused Bath

Run a warm bath and add herbs, oils, or salts that represent what you want to attract in the coming year. Lavender for peace, rosemary for clarity, rose petals for love—the possibilities are endless. Soak in those vibes and visualize your best year ever.

---

4. Eat 12 Grapes for Prosperity

This tradition from Spain is all about luck. Eat one grape for each month of the year at midnight. With each bite, set an intention for abundance, happiness, or whatever makes your magical heart sing.

---

5. Meditate on Midnight Magic

Once the clock strikes twelve, sit quietly and meditate on the wonderful things coming your way. Envision your goals unfolding and blessings pouring in. The New Year is all about possibilities, so dream big!

---

6. Burn What No Longer Serves You

Write down things you’re so done with—bad habits, toxic relationships, outdated beliefs—on slips of paper. Safely burn them in a fireproof bowl to release them. Bye-bye, bad vibes!

---

7. Write Down Your Intentions

Manifestation time! Write down everything you want to attract in the new year. Be specific—call in love, prosperity, health, or whatever you desire. Place the list somewhere special, like your altar, or tuck it into a journal.

---

8. Leave Coins on Your Windowsills

Invite prosperity into your life by placing coins on your external windowsills. This symbolizes wealth flowing into your home. (And let’s be real, who doesn’t want a little extra abundance?)

---

9. Discover Your Word, Symbol, Animal, and Number

Anchor your year with a personal focus. Choose:

• A word to inspire you (e.g., “growth” or “balance”).

• A symbol that resonates (like a tree for rootedness or water for flow).

• An animal whose traits you admire (hello, wise owl or courageous lion).

• Your numerology number for 2025.

How to Calculate Your Numerology Number:

1. Add the digits of your birthday (day and month only) to the digits of the current year.
   Example: If your birthday is January 16th, add 0 + 1 + 1 + 6.

2. Add this to the digits of the current year (2025 → 2 + 0 + 2 + 5).

3. Reduce the total to a single digit.
   Example: 0 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 17 → 1 + 7 = 8. Your personal number is 8.

Your personal year number reveals the energy and themes you’ll be working with. Lean into it!

10. Open All the Doors and Windows at Midnight

Let out all the stale energy from the past year by opening your doors and windows when the clock strikes twelve. Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with open arms (and maybe a cozy blanket if it’s chilly).

---

11. Greet the Sunrise

Rise and shine, witches! Watching the first sunrise of the year is a powerful way to set intentions and honor the start of a new cycle. Bonus points if you do it with a hot mug of something magical in hand.

---

12. Set Up Your Planner or Journal

Dedicate a planner or journal to your witchy journey. Use it to track moon phases, jot down spells, set goals, and reflect throughout the year. Decorate it with your chosen word, symbols, and tarot cards for an extra dose of magic.

---

13. Relax and Embrace Peace

The best way to start your year? Chill. Light some candles, brew a cup of tea, and take a moment to just be. The New Year doesn’t have to start with hustle—serenity is just as powerful.
