So, What Exactly is a Road Opener?

A road opener ritual is like setting up a shortcut for all the good stuff trying to come your way. You’ve got goals—whether that’s love, money, success, whatever. But sometimes, those things get stuck behind energetic roadblocks. Enter the road opener: a ritual that says, “Let’s clear out the junk so I can get what’s mine.” Think of it as your personal road crew, paving the way for whatever you’ve been calling in.

And here’s the thing: if you’re working on manifesting something big but haven’t made space for it, it’s kind of like ordering pizza without giving a delivery address. No clear path? No pizza. So before anything else, let’s open those roads.

Beginner Challenges: Magic Always Works, But It’s Gotta Have Room

Here’s where beginners can get tripped up. Magic is real, but if you don’t give it room to work, you’ll be closing those roads just as fast as you opened them. Here’s what I mean:

• Impatience Is Your Worst Enemy: The road will open, but you have to give it time. Don’t sabotage the ritual with anxiety; obsessing over when it’ll “kick in” can actually slow things down.
• Expect Things to Shift: Sometimes, a road opener clears things out in ways you didn’t expect. People, jobs, and even opportunities might fall away. If that happens, it’s because those things were probably blocking your potential in the first place. Let it happen.
• Have a Clear Intention: If you’re vague, don’t be surprised when the results are all over the place. Imagine asking your boyfriend where he wants to eat, only for him to say, “I dunno, just get something.” You know how annoying that is? Same with spirits. The clearer you are about what you want, the better they can assist you.

Setting Your Intention: Be Real and Be Clear

Start by writing a letter to the spirits or energy you’re calling in. Talk to God, your ancestors, or whatever powers resonate with you. You’re asking them to help, so explain why this matters to you and why it benefits them. This is a relationship, not a one-sided request, so approach it with some thought.

And listen, if you don’t know exactly what you want, you’re not alone. Try something like, “Open the roads that bring me to my greatest good,” or “Put me on the path to walk in my purpose.” It’s a solid starting point and keeps the intention focused.

Tools, Offerings & Setting the Scene

Now, let’s talk about getting your setup right. If you have my Abre Camino Road Opening Conjure Kit, you’re set—but feel free to make it your own with what you’ve got on hand. Here’s how to bring it all together:

1. Start Fresh: Cleanse yourself and your space. This could be a full shower, a quick hand wash, or clearing your working area. The vibe here is “clean slate.” Set the mood with music that makes you feel lighthearted but focused. Some people like to work with certain aromas, so feel free to add scents that lift you up.
2. Essential Herbs: Any real road-opening blend will include Abre Camino—the go-to for clear paths. Here are some other options you might like:
1. Bay Leaves: Protection and wish-making all in one.
2. Clove & Cinnamon: These spices bring warmth and attraction energy.
3. High John Root: Adds power and resilience to the ritual.
4. For cleansing and removing negativity, try basil, pine, rue, lemongrass, or lemon balm. These help with purification and clearing out unwanted vibes.
3. Offerings: This is about relationship-building. Spirits don’t just want stuff; they want your time and devotion. If you’ve got simple offerings like water, fruit, or candy, great. But also spend time in prayer, journaling, or simply talking to them—build that connection.

Choosing Timing: Go With the Flow (or Work with the Sun)

When you’re ready to perform a road opener, timing matters. Here’s what I like:

• Sunday Nights: Sundays are ruled by the Sun (illuminating), and the night is ruled by Jupiter (expansive). It’s a great combo for setting yourself up for the week.
• Thursdays: Ruled by Jupiter, so it’s ideal if you’re focusing on luck and abundance.
• Sunrise: If planetary energy isn’t your thing, sunrise is a powerful time. The Sun’s energy is fresh and renewing every day, so it’s easy to work with.

Don’t stress if these don’t line up; just choose the best time you can and go from there.

Conducting the Ritual

Here’s a step-by-step guide. Remember, this is just a guideline utilizing my Abre Camino Road Opening Conjure Kit—feel free to adapt it based on what you have and what aligns with your practice. 

1. Set the Scene: Choose a workspace that feels right for you, whether that’s an altar or a plate. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should be big enough to hold a glass of water, your candle, and any offerings you want to give.
2. Offerings Come First: Place your offerings on your workspace before lighting the candle. Offerings help set the mood for the spirits, and when you light the flame, it invites them in and ignites your request.
3. Write Your Petition: You can write your request or intention directly on the candle with a Sharpie, which is my go-to. If you prefer, you can write it on a piece of paper and place it under the candle. Either way, be clear in what you want.
4. Light the Candle and Speak Your Intention: As you light the candle, speak your intention aloud or say a quick prayer. My candles come fixed, so you don’t need to add any extra herbs, but if you’re using your own candle, this is the time to sprinkle them in. Make sure you've charmed your herbs.
5. Using the Powder: My road opening kit includes a powder that you can sprinkle around the candle. I also like to sprinkle some in my shoes (to walk on the right path) or around my door (so I walk out into new opportunities). You can even blow a bit inside your home on the 1st of the month, similar to cinnamon rituals.
6. Incorporate the Bath: My kit includes a road opening bath that you can use for even better results. This bath helps clear out negative energy and aligns you with your goals. Use it over 3, 7, or 9 days while your candle is lit to reinforce the energy of the ritual.
7. Anoint Yourself with the Oil: The road opening oil in my kit is perfect for anointing yourself, especially on pulse points or your feet. It helps to continue aligning your energy with your intention, keeping the path open and active throughout the day.
8. Daily Prayer and Devotion: Keep acknowledging your spirits daily. Spend a few moments each day praying over your candle, setting your intention, and giving thanks. It feeds the spell and keeps the energy strong.

Track Your Results: The Fun Begins Now

Once you’ve done the ritual, keep an eye on how things unfold. New opportunities, shifts in energy, and unexpected events might start popping up. I like to track things in a journal or with tarot cards, but the goal is to develop trust in your intuition.

Look for what starts to align or fall into place. The more you connect with your intuition, the less you’ll need external tools to gauge results. Remember, road opening is about clearing the way—your path forward will reveal itself.

Pairing with Protection and Manifestation Rituals

Now that your roads are open, protect what you’re working toward. Regular protection rituals are key, especially if you have a specific goal. And yes, it’s the perfect time to start manifesting, whether that’s for a new job, relationship, or whatever you’re calling in. Road opening is about clearing the way so that your manifestations can find you more easily.

Final Thoughts & Conclusion

A road opener is like setting your life up for a big “yes.” But it’s up to you to walk down the path that opens. Be clear, be patient, and remember—it’s all part of the journey. If you’re ready to start, grab my Abre Camino Road Opening Conjure Kit to set yourself up with everything you need.
