As we grow older, we often find ourselves separated from those we care about on holidays like Mother’s Day. Here’s a way to send them a magickal hug to let them know they are in our thoughts.

Start by placing a picture of your mother (or other loved one) on your altar’s pentacle, along with an item that connects them to you (such as a gift they’ve given you). If you happen to have a piece of rose quartz handy, place that on top of your pentacle too. Pentacles are magickal gateways, and placing at least two of these items upon it should connect you to your loved one.

In order to share the love you’re feeling, sprinkle rose water (or rose petals) upon your loved one’s picture. They should be able to feel your feelings and thoughts as you do this and will know that you care.
