Here’s a Waning Moon Release Spell to help you let go of anything that no longer serves you. This ritual focuses on banishing negativity, breaking bad habits, or releasing emotional baggage.
Spell: The Unbinding Ritual
Purpose: To release negativity, bad habits, toxic relationships, or anything that holds you back.
What You’ll Need:
- A black or white candle (black for banishing negativity, white for general cleansing)
- A fireproof bowl or cauldron
- A small piece of paper
- A pen (black or red ink works best)
- Sage, palo santo, or incense for cleansing
- A small dish of salt (for protection)
Steps:
Prepare Your Space:
- Cleanse your space with sage, palo santo, or incense.
- Light your candle and set the intention of release.
- Place the dish of salt nearby to absorb any lingering negativity.
Write It Down:
- On the piece of paper, write what you want to release (e.g., “I release my fear of failure” or “I let go of this toxic relationship”).
- As you write, visualize the situation, emotion, or habit leaving your body.
Empower the Spell:
- Hold the paper in your hands and say: “With this waning moon, I now release, All that holds me, all that deceives. No longer bound, I set it free, By fire, by will, so mote it be!”
- Feel the energy of release flowing into the paper.
Burn & Banish:
- Carefully burn the paper in your fireproof bowl/cauldron.
- As it turns to ash, visualize the energy dissolving, vanishing with the smoke.
- Say: “It is done. I am free.”
Final Cleansing:
- Sprinkle a little salt around your candle and over the ashes.
- Snuff out the candle (do not blow it out).
- Dispose of the ashes outside or down a drain with flowing water.
Aftercare:
- Take a cleansing bath with salt or herbs (lavender, rosemary) to wash away residual energy.
- Drink herbal tea (like chamomile or peppermint) to ground yourself.
Best Done: At night, during the Waning Moon phase.
Tip: If you feel emotional afterward, that’s normal—releasing old energy can be powerful!
