I’m sure many of you have experienced being laid off first hand or heard of one department or the other downsizing or shutting down completely.  It brings morale down and leaves the remaining employees on edge constanty worrying if they’ll be next.  During times like these many are left discouraged.  But I say it’s a great time to add a little effort into your career and liven up the door to success.  If you are looking for a job, want to establish yourself in your current career and progress up the ladder, this career charm can help you.  It can be placed in your desk, filing cabinet or even purse to help encourage the vibration.

What you will need:

Ruda

Garlic

Red gift paper

Red Ribbon

Pencil

Red is associated with the root chakra which represents stability and survival  in the physical world.

Making sure you have enough food, shelter and so forth is what rules this chakra.  Red in this amulet represents stability, order and sense of being grounded.  On this red paper you will write what you hope to achieve.  Often time I write what I’m going to visualize and meditate on, following this recipe.

I wrote:

“May the greater power in me guide me with wisdom and strength to provide for myself and family.”

You can write anything you’d like.  Whatever resonates with you is fine.

Garlic is known to ward off negative vibrations.  Whether it be your own negative thinking, lack of confidence, confusion these type of low vibrations do not let you see the clearer pciture and in turn your self confidence takes a beating. Often times it can be the debbie downer/ hater of the office constantly creating an atmosphere of negativity. Whatever the case you must not allow yourself to feed into the negativity. Focus your intent and blur out the insignificant.

Ruda is my favorite herb to use in everything and I’m sure I’ve mentioned that many times before.  Ruda purifies and attracts luck.  It’s also used in matters of work, money, and prosperity.  To read more about Ruda, check out my post here.

Once you’ve gotten your ingredients all together,  you want to take your red gift bag paper and wrap it all up.

Then you want to wrap the little bundle with the red ribbon.

Any excess paper can be trimmed down.

The end results!

You can also use fabric if you’d like instead.  I used gift wrapping paper because it’s easier to write down my affirmation.  Charms and amulets as such are used to help you center your energy.  Often time our energies are scattered and too much is going on.  By focusing on one thing at a time can help you center your energy and focus on one aspect of your self at a time.

I’m going to start working on more charms, amulets and such.  I’ve been reading a lot about ancestor veneration and will be focusing on that for these next coming months.  So stay tuned for that experience.
