To begin your spiritual new year; whenever it may fall, start with a purification bath, known as mikvah in Hebrew. Light some candles and burn an incsense to assist with spiritual awareness such as sandalwood, myrrh, or frankincenses. Mix up a small amount of nonirritating herbs and oils that share affinites with spirituality and purification such as olive oil, lemon juice, peppermint leaves, vervain, chamomile, hyssop, or rosemary. As you soak, visualize the impurites of spirit being pulled from you so that they can be washed down the drain. Follow the bath with a private rededication ritual to your spiritual path.
