If you’ve been seeing 33 everywhere, take it as your sign to pause, reflect, and take action.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know that I love bay leaves, but not just for their energy, but for how they give you something tangible to work with in your manifestation practice.
There’s power in writing down an intention, holding it in your hands, and turning it into something real.
I also believe in the energy of numbers.
Certain numbers show up as reminders, as moments to pause, reflect, and realign with what we truly want.
And today, 3/3, is one of those days.
That’s why I want to share a ritual that brings these two powerful elements together.
A bay leaf ritual for 3/3 that helps you clarify your vision, embody the energy of 33, and commit to taking real action toward what you’re manifesting.
The 3/3 Bay Leaf Manifestation Ritual
This isn’t just about setting an intention and hoping for the best. It’s about declaring what you want and making a commitment to take aligned action.
What You’ll Need:
- Three Bay leaves
- A pen or marker
- A fire-safe bowl or candle
- A lighter or matches

Step 1: Write Down Three Manifestations
Since 3/3 carries the energy of creativity, growth, and service, start by choosing three things you want to manifest that align with these themes.
If you need ideas, think about:
- Creativity: Have you been wanting to create more? Write a book, start a project, put your work out there?
- Growth: Are you ready to step into something bigger? Break a pattern, commit to self-discipline, say yes to an opportunity?
- Service: Do you feel called to contribute more? Have you been thinking about ways to show up for others or use your gifts to help?
Write one manifestation per bay leaf.
Step 2: Commit to an Aligned Action
On the back of each bay leaf, write one aligned action you will take in the next three days (before 3/6) that supports what you’re manifesting.
Example:
- Manifestation: Your painting accepted to a local gallery
- Aligned Action: Research three local galleries and send inquiries
- Manifestation: Stepping into a leadership role
- Aligned Action: Volunteer to lead a project or mentor someone
Step 3: Burn the Bay Leaves
One by one, hold each bay leaf, read it aloud, and feel the energy behind your words. See it happening.
Believe it’s already in motion.
Then, burn the leaf and let the ashes fall into a fire-safe bowl.
Step 4: Follow Through on Your Actions
This ritual is a commitment to yourself.
Take action on what you wrote down over the next three days (until 3/6).
Every step you take shifts your energy and informs the universe that you’re serious about what you want.
