Mother Yourself: A Spell for Reparenting

Mother Yourself

A Spell for Reparenting
(For the ones who never got what they needed—and are learning to give it now.)

Let’s Be Real…

Mother’s Day is complicated.
For many witches, it’s not a celebration—it’s a wound.
Maybe your mother was absent. Or cruel. Or lost too soon.
Maybe you’re a mother who’s overwhelmed, under-supported, or grieving.

This spell is for reclaiming your own care.
For tending to your inner child.
For being the mother you always needed.

Reparenting Spell: “Mother Yourself”

You’ll Need:

• A soft blanket or hoodie

• A pink or white candle

• A mug of your favorite comforting drink

• A small mirror (or your phone’s front camera)

• Optional: a childhood photo of yourself

The Ritual:

1. Create the Space
   Get cozy. Light your candle. Wrap yourself in something soft.

2. Look at Yourself
   Gaze into the mirror or at your childhood photo. Take a deep breath. Say:

   “You deserved safety. You deserved kindness. You deserved love.”
   Say it again. And again. Until something softens.

3. Hold the Mug
   Wrap your hands around the cup.

   “This is for the child in me.
   I see her. I love her. I care for her now.”

4. Close with Care
   Blow out the candle. Hug the photo. Drink slowly.
   You’ve mothered yourself today. That matters.

Final Thoughts

Being your own mother isn’t a weakness.
It’s a revolution.

You don’t owe anyone a card, a brunch, or a smile today.
But you do owe yourself the love you were always meant to receive.

And if you are a mother—of children, of ideas, of magic—you deserve to be held too.

So today, let’s do the radical, sacred thing.

Let’s mother ourselves.
