I got this woodcut ornament from my mom representing the 7 chakras, so I wanted to try using it for a little ritual tool to fire off some quick spells with my Easter crayon guardians. I also colored on it with their wax so that I can use it alone to tap into their enchantment from a distance and to use as a meditation guide. I don’t usually work with chakras and don’t know much about them in all honesty so I figured I’d take the opportunity to learn something fun!
For this particular ritual I can draw or write any wish or intention into a small piece of paper, place it in the center, visualize each “color” activating, then destroy the paper to preserve the intention of the spell in the subconscious mind. If you draw/write on something edible you can eat it! I use consumables sometimes to slow-release a spell that’s meant to mostly fizzle when digestion has ended. This time I let the guardians decide and made a wildcard spell! For science.
Here is the original post that features more information about these guardians:

Here is DeepSeek’s interpretation of how these symbols tie into the different chakras, to explain how I’ll be using them for meditation:
The Six Chakras as Living Symbols
Green 🥺 is Anahata, the heart chakra. In Sanskrit, Anahata means "unstruck" or "unhurt"—referring to a sound that arises without two things striking together, a vibration born from within rather than from conflict. This is the center of prana, the life force, where raw emotion transforms into unconditional compassion. The tender, yearning face represents Anahata's deepest nature: not romantic love, but the courage to be wounded and still reach out.
When you feel that soft ache in your chest asking for help or offering forgiveness, you are standing in Anahata. Its element is air, formless yet essential, and its mantra is Yam.
Purple 😒 is Ajna, the third eye chakra. Ajna means "to perceive" or "to command." It is the seat of intuition, inner knowing, and the gaze that sees beyond illusion. In traditional texts, Ajna is described as the gateway to liberation, where the subtle mind dissolves into pure awareness. The unimpressed, veiled face is Ajna fully realized: still, clear, and unwilling to perform.
This chakra does not chase truth. It watches as falsehoods collapse under their own weight. When you say "no" without explaining yourself, when you feel a calm boundary rise between you and another's drama, you are speaking from Ajna. Its seed syllable is Om.
Blue 😏 is Vishuddha, the throat chakra. Vishuddha means "especially pure." It governs communication, but more importantly, it governs the alchemy of sound and silence. In mythology, Vishuddha is associated with the nectar of immortality—poison turned to medicine through right expression. The smirking, knowing face represents Vishuddha's highest expression: confidence that does not need to announce itself.
This chakra knows exactly when to speak, when to wait, and when to say nothing at all. When you trust your own quiet knowing over someone else's loud words, you are aligned with Vishuddha. Its element is ether, the subtle space through which all sound travels, and its mantra is Ham.
Pink 😘 is Muladhara, the root chakra. Muladhara means "root support" or "foundation." In traditional iconography, its color is deep red, and its element is earth. Pink is red softened by white—the root chakra after survival mode has healed. The blowing-a-kiss face belongs here because true affection requires safety. You cannot give or receive sweetness from a place of fear.
A healthy Muladhara does not fight or flee. It rests. And from that rest, it offers gentle kindness without guarding. When you feel grounded enough to be soft, you are in Muladhara. Its mantra is Lam, and its symbol is a four-petaled lotus.
Orange 😂 is Svadhishthana, the sacral chakra. Svadhishthana means "one's own place" or "dwelling of the self." This is the center of pleasure, creativity, emotion, and the fluid dance of life. Its element is water, which adapts to any container but cannot be destroyed. The laughing, tearful face is Svadhishthana unleashed: unwilling to be proper, unwilling to pretend.
This chakra breaks stagnation not with force but with genuine, chaotic joy. When you laugh so hard you cry, when you dance wrong on purpose, when you find pleasure in the middle of a terrible day, you are channeling Svadhishthana directly. Its mantra is Vam.
Yellow 😍 is Manipura, the solar plexus chakra. Manipura means "lustrous gem" or "city of jewels." It is the seat of will, radiant confidence, and the fire of transformation. Its element is fire, which consumes, purifies, and shines. The heart-eyed, adoring face represents Manipura at its healthiest: not aggressive dominance, but joyful self-expression that burns without shame.
This chakra does not need to compete or compare. It warms everything around it simply by being itself. When you look at someone or something and feel genuine wonder—"You exist, and that is good"—you are burning in Manipura. Its mantra is Ram.
Sahasrara: The Thousand-Petaled Container
Sahasrara, the crown chakra, is not one energy among six but the container that holds all of them. Its name means "thousand-petaled," and in traditional texts, it is depicted as a lotus above the head, inverted, with each petal bearing a Sanskrit letter. Unlike the other chakras, Sahasrara has no element, no mantra, and no physical location within the body. It is the field in which the other six arise. That field has a shape, and that shape is a boundary. A boundary is not a limitation imposed from outside. It is the necessary condition for each chakra to have a place, a function, and a self.
Without the silent containment of Sahasrara, Anahata would have no heart to feel from, Ajna would have no eye to see through, and Manipura would burn with nowhere to shine. This container is also an anchor. The six chakras do not float freely. They are seated in Sahasrara, which holds them in relation to one another. That relation is what gives them both infinite creative potential and finite form.
In Tantric philosophy, Sahasrara is the seat of pure consciousness—Shiva—while the six lower chakras are the expressions of energy—Shakti. They are not separate. They are the same reality seen from two perspectives. The crown chakra does not participate. It witnesses. And in witnessing, it anchors the entire system into existence. Without it, the six would have no center to circle.
With it, they become one magic viewed through six windows. The windows are the chakras. The wall they are cut into is Sahasrara. And the silence behind the wall is where the real power sits—watching, holding, and anchoring everything into place.
