A Mesoamerican tradition that attracts luck, abundance, and divine blessings
The Night Everything Changed
It was December 28th, 2015, and I was standing in my grandmother’s kitchen in Mexico City, watching her prepare something I’d seen her do every year since I was a child but never truly understood.
She was arranging white candles in a specific pattern. She had a bowl of cinnamon sticks, raw honey, bay leaves, and coins. She was whispering something under her breath — prayers in Spanish mixed with words I didn’t recognize. Nahuatl, perhaps. Or something older.
“Mijo,” she said without looking up, “if you want the next year to bless you, you have to invite the blessings in. You have to make space for them. You have to speak to the universe in the language it understands.”
I was going through one of the hardest years of my life. I had lost my job. A relationship had ended. I felt stuck, heavy, like I was drowning in bad luck. I didn’t believe in rituals. I thought they were superstition, old-world thinking that didn’t belong in my modern, rational life.
But something in her voice made me stay.
“Sit,” she commanded. “You’re going to learn this. Because next year, you’re going to need it.”
I sat.
And what happened next changed everything.
Why White Magic Matters for 2026
Before I share the ritual with you, you need to understand something about 2026.
We’re entering a Year 1 in numerology — the year of new beginnings, fresh starts, and planting seeds for the next nine-year cycle. We’re also entering the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac — a year of speed, freedom, power, and forward momentum.
But here’s the thing: If you don’t clear the energy of 2025 and actively invite blessings into 2026, you’ll miss the portal.
2025 was a Year 9, a Snake Year — it was about endings, shedding, death, and rebirth. If you’re reading this, you survived it. You made it through. But survival isn’t enough. You need to activate 2026. You need to tell the universe: I’m ready. I’m open. Send me everything I’m meant to receive.
That’s where white magic comes in.
White magic isn’t about manipulation or control. It’s not about forcing outcomes or bending reality to your will. White magic is about alignment. It’s about opening yourself to divine flow. It’s about speaking to the forces of nature, the universe, your ancestors, and saying: I am a vessel. I am ready to receive. Bless me so I can bless others.
The ritual I’m about to share with you comes from Mesoamerican tradition, passed down through generations of curanderas (healers) and abuelas (grandmothers) who understood that the turn of the year is a sacred portal. It’s been adapted, refined, and infused with universal spiritual principles, but its essence remains the same:
To attract luck, abundance, and blessings, you must create sacred space, make an offering, and declare your intention.
Let me show you how.
The White Magic Ritual for 2026 Luck, Abundance & Blessings
When to Perform This Ritual:
The most powerful time is December 31st, between 11:00 PM and 12:30 AM — the transition between years. However, you can also perform this ritual on January 1st at sunrise or during the first new moon of 2026 (January 29th, 2026).
What You’ll Need:
Sacred Items:
- 🕯️ 7 white candles (white = purity, divine light, new beginnings)
- 🍯 Raw honey (sweetness, abundance, attraction)
- 🌿 3 bay leaves (wishes, manifestation, protection)
- 🪙 7 coins (any denomination — represents wealth and prosperity)
- ✨ Cinnamon sticks or powder (luck, success, fast manifestation)
- 🌾 White rice (uncooked — abundance, fertility, blessings)
- 🧂 Sea salt (purification, protection, grounding)
- 🌸 Fresh flowers (white or yellow — offering to the divine)
- 📜 A piece of paper and pen
- 🔥 A fireproof bowl or cauldron (for burning)
- 💧 A glass of fresh water
Optional but Powerful:
- 🎋 Frankincense or copal incense (sacred smoke for spirits/ancestors)
- 🗿 A small statue or image of a deity you work with (Guadalupe, Ganesha, etc.)
- 🎶 Sacred music or drumming (to raise vibration)
THE RITUAL: Step-by-Step
PART 1: Purification (Cleanse the Space & Yourself)
1. Clean your physical space. Before you begin, clean the area where you’ll perform the ritual. Sweep, dust, remove clutter. A clean space invites clean energy.
2. Take a purification bath or shower. Add sea salt and a handful of fresh herbs (rosemary, basil, or bay leaves) to your bath. As you bathe, visualize all the heaviness of 2025 washing off your body and going down the drain. Say:
“I release all that no longer serves me. I am cleansed. I am pure. I am ready to receive.”
3. Dress in white or light-colored clothing. White represents purity and new beginnings.
4. Smudge the space (optional but recommended). Light frankincense, copal, or sage. Walk around the room clockwise, letting the smoke cleanse every corner. Say:
“I cleanse this space of all negative energy. Only light, love, and blessings may enter here.”
PART 2: Create the Altar (Sacred Space for the Divine)
Find a clean surface — a table, the floor, or an altar you already use.
5. Lay down a white cloth. This creates a sacred foundation.
6. Arrange the 7 white candles in a circle. Place them in a circle large enough to hold the other items in the center. The circle represents wholeness, protection, and the cycle of life.
7. In the center of the circle, place:
- The bowl of raw honey
- The 7 coins
- The cinnamon sticks
- A small dish of white rice
- The bay leaves
- The fresh flowers
- The glass of water
8. Place the fireproof bowl at the edge of the circle (you’ll use this later for burning).
9. Light the incense (if using) and place it near the altar.
10. Sit or stand before the altar. Take three deep breaths. Ground yourself. Feel your connection to the Earth beneath you and the universe above you.
PART 3: Invocation (Call in the Divine)
11. Light the 7 candles, one by one, clockwise.
As you light each candle, say:
Candle 1: “I call in the light of the Divine.”
Candle 2: “I call in my ancestors and guides.”
Candle 3: “I call in the spirits of abundance and prosperity.”
Candle 4: “I call in the spirits of love and joy.”
Candle 5: “I call in the spirits of health and vitality.”
Candle 6: “I call in the spirits of protection and peace.”
Candle 7: “I call in the highest good for all beings.”
12. Place your hands over your heart and say:
“I stand before the universe with an open heart. I have survived 2025. I have shed what needed to go. I am ready to receive. I invite luck, abundance, and blessings into my life. I am a vessel for divine flow. I am worthy. I am ready. And so it is.”
PART 4: The Offering (Give Before You Receive)
13. Take the honey and stir it clockwise with a cinnamon stick.
As you stir, visualize golden light swirling in the honey. This is the sweetness of life, the abundance of the universe. Say:
“I offer this sweetness to the universe. May my life be filled with sweetness, joy, and blessings.”
14. Take a small taste of the honey. This symbolizes receiving the sweetness you’re calling in.
15. Place the 7 coins in the honey. Coins represent wealth and prosperity. As you place each one, say:
“Money flows to me easily and effortlessly. I am abundant. I am prosperous. I am blessed.”
16. Take the bay leaves and write one wish on each. Be specific. Examples:
- “I attract $10,000 in unexpected income.”
- “I meet my divine partner.”
- “I heal my body completely.”
17. Hold the bay leaves to your heart, then place them in the rice. Rice absorbs and multiplies energy. Your wishes will grow.
18. Sprinkle cinnamon over the entire altar. As you do, say:
“I activate this altar. I activate my blessings. What I desire is already on its way to me.”
PART 5: The Declaration (Speak Your Future Into Existence)
19. Take the piece of paper and write:
“In 2026, I am…”
Then write everything you will BE in 2026 (not what you want, but what you ARE):
- “I am financially abundant.”
- “I am deeply loved.”
- “I am healthy and vibrant.”
- “I am fulfilled in my purpose.”
- “I am traveling the world.”
Write at least 7–10 statements. Use present tense. Feel the truth of each statement as you write it.
20. Read your list out loud with conviction.
Don’t rush. Feel each statement in your body. Let your voice carry the frequency of truth into the universe.
21. Fold the paper toward you (to bring energy toward you, not away).
22. Place the paper under the glass of water.
Water is a conductor of energy. It will charge your intentions overnight.
PART 6: The Burning (Release & Trust)
23. Take one bay leaf (from your wishes) and say:
“I release my attachment to HOW this will come. I trust the universe to deliver in divine timing and divine ways.”
24. Light the bay leaf from one of the candles and place it in the fireproof bowl.
Watch it burn. As it burns, your wish is released into the ether.
25. Repeat with the other two bay leaves if you feel called (or save them for later).
PART 7: Gratitude & Closing
26. Place your hands in prayer position and say:
“Thank you, Divine Source, for hearing me. Thank you, ancestors, for guiding me. Thank you, spirits of abundance, for blessing me. I am grateful. I am open. I am ready. And so it is.”
27. Blow out the candles one by one, counterclockwise.
As you blow out each candle, say:
“I release this light into the universe to work on my behalf.”
28. Leave the altar intact overnight.
Let the energy build while you sleep. You can dismantle it the next day.
PART 8: Integration (The Days After)
29. On January 1st (or the morning after the ritual):
- Drink the water from the glass (it’s now charged with your intentions)
- Keep the paper with your declarations somewhere sacred (altar, journal, under your pillow)
- Scatter the rice outside as an offering to the Earth
- Bury the coins in your yard or a potted plant (to “plant” wealth)
- Keep the honey jar on your altar and take a spoonful whenever you need to remember the sweetness of life
30. For the first 7 days of 2026:
- Light one white candle each day
- Read your declarations out loud
- Act AS IF everything you declared is already true
What Happened After I Did This Ritual
Remember how I said I was going through the hardest year of my life in 2019?
I did this ritual with my grandmother on December 31st, 2019. I didn’t fully believe it would work. I was skeptical. But I was desperate enough to try.
Within two weeks, I got a job offer — better than the one I’d lost.
Within a month, I met someone who would become one of my closest friends and eventually a business partner.
Within three months, I started this spiritual teaching path that has now become my life’s work.
2020 was a hard year for the world, but it was the year everything in my life shifted. And it started with that ritual.
I’m not saying the ritual did it all. I still had to take action. I still had to show up. I still had to do the inner work.
But the ritual opened the door. It cleared the path. It signaled to the universe: I’m ready.
And the universe responded.
Your Turn
2026 is YOUR year. But you have to claim it.
You have to do more than wish for things to get better. You have to actively invite the blessings in. You have to create the space. You have to speak to the universe in the language it understands.
This ritual is that language.
Do it with intention. Do it with reverence. Do it with an open heart.
And then watch what happens.
Because when you align with divine flow, when you invite luck and abundance with sincerity and gratitude, the universe has no choice but to respond.
You are worthy. You are ready. 2026 is waiting for you.
And so it is.
