Leap Year Magick Witch Tips (Patreon)

February 29th is a rare day that occurs once every four years. It’s a highly charged, powerful and unique day since it happens on such an infrequent basis.

What Kind Of Magick Should You Do On Leap Day?

1.) Banishing work - You could write messages or intentions and bury them outdoors at 4am or 4pm in February 29th (since leap years occur once every four years, the hour of four-o-clock is the correspondence)

2.) Start a new journal, Book of Shadows, Grimoire, or another type of writing that’s personal and meaningful to you

3.) Break bad/negative/unwanted habits

4.) Love Magick - This could be for romantic partners, friendships or platonic love

5.) Fertility Magick

6.) Engage in shadow work

7.) Learn a new subject, art, technique that pertains to your Magickal practice

8.) Try to use this unique and powerful energy to help you in finding missing or lost items

9.) Realign or begin realigning intentions, manifestations, spells, etc

10.) Ethically collect/gather/source materials from nature to use in your practice

Leap Year Spell: (Found on WitchCraftedLife.com)

What you’ll need:

-A large bay leaf (use more than one leaf if needed) or another type of dried leaf that is suitable for writing on

-An environmentally friendly writing material, such as Natural Earth Paint or vegetable ink, or if that is not possible, a permanent marker in the colour of your choice (I’d suggest picking one that aligns with the intentions behind your spell)

-Optional, an eco-friendly offering to leave in the area where you perform the working outdoors. Things such as lovely rocks, attractive leaves, springs of herbs, and pieces of fruit are often good choices.

How to perform this spell:

• Select a natural spot that safely allows for you to throw something into it without damaging the natural environment. (I CANNOT STRESS THIS POINT ENOUGH – PLEASE BE SUPER SAFE!)

This could be a small hill, a river, a gully, an abandoned/no longer used well, or another suitable spot in your area.

• If possible (though it is not imperative), prior to 4 am on February 29th, gather the materials listed above and visit the spot you’ve selected. Ensure that you are dressed warmly, if the weather is less than favourable.
• Arrive at the spot a little before 4 pm (if possible), take several deep, soothing breaths in and out, and focus on your surroundings. As you do so, think about an area in your life that you’ve been struggling to overcome or more past.
• This could be just about anything. From ditching an unwanted habit to working up the courage to ask for a raise at work to finally standing up for yourself with your in-laws.
• Once you clearly know what you’re focusing on, write the name of that issue on the leaf or leaves that you brought with you. A single word or just a few words will likely suffice here, no need for lengthy paragraphs in such a small space.
• Hold the leaf (or leaves) in your hands and (if doing so is safe in the area that you’re visiting) close your eyes. Focus your energy on the leaves and envision the strength that you need to overcome this issue in your life entering your body, as you transfer the energy, fear, stress, anxiety, and so forth from yourself that may be holding you back into the leaf or leaves.
• Safely approach wherever you are going to throw the leaf/leaves. Right before you toss this trouble away from yourself, say the following words (or ones of your choosing):

“I am projecting that which holds me back away from my body, my spirit, and my life. I tap into the energy of this liminal, rare leap year day and ask that it help give me the courage and strength to overcome this hurdle that I’ve been dealing with once and for all. So mote it be.”

• Scrunch up the leaf/leaves and throw them away from you. As they weigh very little, they may not travel far, so you might have better luck dropping them, rather than throwing them.
• Step back, take a few more deep breaths, and concentrate on the natural energy of your surroundings, as well as that of February 29th. When you feel ready, thank the environment and Leap Year for assisting you (if you brought an offering to leave, do so now) and carry on with the rest of your day.
