Imagine starting each month with a simple yet powerful ritual that helps you focus, stay on track, and bring your dreams closer to reality. That’s exactly what the Bay Leaf Ritual does.

If you’ve ever felt scattered, unmotivated, or unsure of your next steps, this ritual is for you. With just two bay leaves, you can turn goal-setting into a tangible practice, something you can see, touch, and commit to.

How the Bay Leaf Ritual Works

On the first day of every month, I take two bay leaves and write down the one thing I want to focus on for the month.

This goal is part of a bigger vision I’m working toward.

Here’s what I do next:

  • Burn the first bay leaf. This releases my intention into the universe, like sending out a message saying, “This is what I’m manifesting this month.”
  • Keep the second bay leaf somewhere visible. I place it where I’ll see it daily, I usually put it somewhere on my desk. Each time I see it, I ask myself, “What can I do today to move closer to my goal?”
  • At the end of the month, I burn the second bay leaf. If I accomplish my goal, I celebrate! If not, I reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what I need to do differently.

Why This Ritual Works

This simple practice keeps me focused and grounded in my goals. The act of writing, seeing, and burning the bay leaf creates a powerful cycle of intention, action, and reflection.

Bay leaves have long been used for manifestation, and this ritual gives them a practical, everyday purpose.

How to Start Your Own Bay Leaf Ritual

  1. Get two bay leaves. You can find them at the grocery store or purchase a set meant for manifestation.
  2. Write your monthly goal on both leaves. Be specific! Keep it simple and clear.
  3. Burn the first bay leaf. As it turns to ash, visualize your goal coming to life.
  4. Place the second bay leaf somewhere visible. Use it as a daily reminder.
  5. Burn the second bay leaf at the end of the month. Celebrate your progress or reflect on what you can improve.

Every first of the month I write my intention down on two bay leaves. I burn one to set my intention for the month, and the second one I place it in a place I can see until the end of the month to ground me. This ritual keeps me aligned and focused!
