How your ritual is made personal
This working is called The Bay Leaf Letter. The wish is written on a dried bay leaf, the crowning leaf, beside cinnamon and a yellow candle. The leaf is carried to your work in your bag, and at the end of the month it is burned and its ash given to the wind.
- I read where you standFrom your order I learn your role, your workplace and the step you want next. The working is shaped around that rung, not a general wish.
- The bay leaf is chosenI choose a whole, dried bay leaf, the leaf the old world wove into crowns. It will carry your letter.
- Your wish is written on the leafOn the leaf I write your name, your date of birth and your wish in your own words, the title, the recognition or the raise you named. It is short, because a leaf is small and a clear wish is strong.
- The yellow candle is litYellow is the colour of being seen, of voice and of confidence. I light it beside cinnamon, which quickens, and read your letter aloud in its light.
- The leaf goes to workThe old instruction is that the leaf is carried in a bag to work each day, so it walks the corridors where you want to be noticed. It is kept on that road through the month.
- It is burned at month's endWhen the month closes, the leaf is burned and its ash is given to the wind. What was written is released to travel.
- Your record is writtenI send you the written record by email: what went on the leaf, the words read over the candle and how the leaf will end its month.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a spell for a promotion at work?
This bay leaf working is my spell for promotion and recognition. It is for someone already in place who wants to be seen and raised.
What does writing on a bay leaf do?
Bay was the crowning leaf of the old world. Writing a wish on it and carrying it to work places that wish where it is meant to be answered.
Can a spell help me get a raise?
Many people bring a raise to this working. Write the step you want and any review date, and it goes onto the leaf.
Why is the bay leaf burned after a month?
Burning the leaf and giving its ash to the wind releases what was written, so the wish travels rather than staying folded up.
How is my career spell delivered?
Your written record reaches you through Etsy messages, and as a PDF for the longer strengths. Most records go out the same day the working is sealed.
