Those of us who live in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving later this month, but the truth is, the “giving thanks” part of the holiday often gets lost in the commotion of the day. So why not take a minute today to do this simple spell for gratitude, no matter where you live? No matter how difficult life might be, no matter what struggles you face, there are always things to be grateful for. Light a candle and sit quietly for a moment, thinking about all the parts of your life that are worthy of appreciation. Then say this spell:

God and Goddess, I thank you
For the good things, which lift me up,
And the bad, which teach
me and make me strong.
Thank you for [list the things
you are grateful for]
And for all the gifts that you give me.
I am grateful.
