• Negative energy
• Sadness

THE HISTORY BEHIND IT:

Mantra ~
“Through sacred fire, I return to my essence.
I let go, I transform, I begin again.”

The Año Viejo is an ancient ritual that originated in Latin America as a symbolic burning of the “Old Year.” Families and communities would create a doll-shaped effigy, often stuffed with newspaper, sawdust, or old clothes, to represent the experiences, emotions, and energies of the year that had passed.

Some would even pin written notes or photographs of moments they wished to release onto the effigy. At the stroke of midnight, it would be set aflame, releasing smoke as an offering of purification, gratitude, and transformation. The act is both communal and deeply personal - a farewell to what has been and a prayer for what will come.

The effigy you hold in this ritual box carries that same intention: to embody your old year, gather what you are ready to let go of, and be released through the sacred element of fire.

As the effigy transforms, so do you.

HOW TO PERFORM YOUR RITUAL:

- Light your candle. Invite its flame to symbolize illumination and renewal.
- Place sea salt into your abalone shell to ground and purify the space.
- Light your Palo Santo stick. Allow its sacred smoke to cleanse your aura and surroundings.
- On the Flying Wish Paper, write what you wish to release - habits, emotions, situations, or attachments ready to be transformed.
- Fold the paper and place it in the opening or underneath your Año Viejo doll.
- Add some incense and powder into the opening behind your effigy.
- Anoint your effigy with your oil, then pour the remaining oil over the incense within.
- Place your Año Viejo in a fire-safe receptacle.

- Say your intention: “I release what no longer serves me and welcome a New Year filled with peace, abundance, and light. Through sacred fire, I return to my essence. I let go, I transform, I begin again.”

- When ready, safely light your effigy. Focus on the flame as it transforms the old energy into renewal.

- Close with gratitude. Take a deep breath and welcome the New Year with an open heart.
