Purpose: This spell is designed to help release negative energy, bad habits, or any unwanted influences in your life. The waning moon is a powerful time for banishing, letting go, and clearing away obstacles.
Materials Needed:
- A black or dark blue candle (symbolizing banishment and protection)
- A small piece of paper
- A pen or pencil
- A fireproof dish or cauldron
- Salt (for purification)
- Sage or incense (optional, for cleansing the space)
Preparation:
Find a quiet, undisturbed place where you can perform the spell. Cleanse the area by burning sage or incense, if desired.
Set up your materials on a flat surface or altar. Place the candle in the center, with the paper, pen, and fireproof dish nearby.
Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and focus your mind on the intention of releasing what no longer serves you.
Spell Instructions:
Light the Candle:
Light the black or dark blue candle, focusing on its flame. Visualize the light driving away darkness and negativity from your life.
Write Down What You Want to Release:
On the piece of paper, write down the negative energies, bad habits, or specific situations you wish to banish. Be clear and specific in your wording.
Chant and Focus:
Hold the paper in your hands and repeat the following chant three times:
Waning moon, as you decrease,Take away this burden, bring me peace.
By your power, I now release, All that hinders, let it cease.
As you chant, visualize the negative energy leaving your body and being absorbed by the paper. See it being taken away by the moon’s waning energy.
Burn the Paper:
Carefully light the paper with the candle flame and place it in the fireproof dish or cauldron. As it burns, continue to visualize the unwanted energies being destroyed and dissipating into the universe.
Sprinkle Salt:
After the paper has completely burned, sprinkle salt over the ashes to purify and seal the spell.
Extinguish the Candle:
Once the spell is complete, extinguish the candle, either by snuffing it out or letting it burn out naturally. Do not blow it out, as this might scatter the energy.
Dispose of the Ashes:
After the candle has cooled, take the ashes and scatter them outside, preferably in a flowing body of water or in the wind, to symbolize the final release of what you’ve let go.
Closing the Spell:
Take a moment to express gratitude to the waning moon and any spiritual entities you may have called upon. Reflect on the release you’ve achieved and close the ritual in peace.
Note: This spell is most effective when performed during the waning moon phase, particularly as the moon approaches the new moon, symbolizing a time of endings and new beginnings.
