Fridays are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and harmony. In Hoodoo and other traditional practices, Venus energy governs our relationships — not just romantic ones, but family, friendship, and all forms of emotional connection.
That makes Friday the perfect day to strengthen the bonds of love and protection around your family. Today’s ritual reminds us that protecting the people we love is one of the purest forms of devotion.
Love is the strongest shield there is.
Daily Core Practice
– Light a candle for your ancestors
– Meditate for 10 minutes
– Stretch to release stagnant energy
Today’s Ritual – Family Photo Blessing
1. Gather Your Photo:
Find a photo of your family, children, partner, or loved ones. If you don’t have a photo, simply write their names on a piece of paper.
2. Prepare the Space:
Light a white or pink candle — colors aligned with Venus energy. You can dress it with a few drops of olive oil or a touch of honey for sweetness and unity.
3. Anoint & Pray:
Touch each corner of the photo or paper with oil while speaking words of love and protection:
“Surround my family in light and peace.
Let no harm cross their path, no shadow linger near.
Love is their armor, grace their guide.”
4. Form the Hedge:
Visualize a warm, glowing hedge of light — rose gold, pink, or white — encircling your home and everyone in it. This is your energetic shield, woven from love and intention.
5. Offer Gratitude:
Thank your ancestors and the spirit of Venus for the protection, harmony, and peace they bring. Let the candle burn safely for a while as a beacon of that love.
Reflection
Venus teaches that love isn’t weakness — it’s power. Every prayer, every act of care, every boundary rooted in love expands your family’s circle of safety.
Take a moment to text, call, or hug someone you love today. Let them feel that energy.
