TIME AND TIDE
Message: Oceanic spells and rituals.

I don't know about you but every New Year's eve I have a few rituals that are part of my personal tradition such as writing down everything that I am grateful for and my wishes for the New Year. I love lighting candles, specially gold and silver for abundance and pink for love.
We also have the traditional twelve grapes at twelve o'clock that symbolize the twelve months of the year. We call them the lucky grapes. 
What are your traditions and rituals for New Year's Eve?
Here is what the mermaid's have to say:
It is time for a well-thought through act of connection- a ritual or spell, with the realm of the mer-beings, with the sea. When done with great formality and mindfulness, many acts can become magical and reconnect us with the sacred within us and outside of "us". You may wish to ritually bathe in a tidal pool, which could be a naturally formed rockpool, or a sacred bathtime you create for yourself. As you bathe in the sacred healing pool, allow the pool and the water to drain away everything that must be left behind for you to go forward again. The salt water crystals will drag through your auric layer, clearing and cleansing, leaving you feeling light and free, yet very present and clear.
Or you may wish to create sand castles or mandalas or sculptures near the tide line...we can shape into the sand representations of what we wish to see taken away and cleared...or what we wish the Sea Mother to take into her cauldron and help you manifest. It may be time to work with Jannarric runes, which have a great history of being drawn into the sand as messages to the great Sea beings, of all kinds. What is most important is that you act.
Blessings, LG.
