I wrote this at a very difficult time in my life but it gave me comfort.
Releasing the departed.
This isnāt a spell as much as my intent to let go.
Light candles, in the color of white, one for each loss.
Light a blue candle to help release anger.
Burn dragonās blood incense for healing & protection.
I cry out my grief to the Wind & my tears fall into the Sea.
ā They wonāt return. They are gone.ā The Wind sighs & Sea reminds me.
I know they are & I am so angry.
ā Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.ā The Earth quotes gentlyā.
It wasnāt fair, I wasnāt ready.ā
ā Itās done, move on.ā The crackling Fire snaps .
Yet still my heart is breaks.
ā Grief is for the living, the dead are free.ā My Spirit reminds me quietly.
How, can I heal?
By letting goā¦
Prayer to release the departed.
Beloved Goddess hold them,
Accept them, into your care.
But Grant me peace or make me stone.
They are all gone, I donāt want to be alone
I look for comfort, perhaps thatās why Iām here.
What if my longing wonāt disappear?
Is my soul so corrupt? Or is that survivors guilt.
I feel so empty, my brain is whirling like a crazy quilt.
Oh my Lady, Forgive my weakness
I am stronger than this,
I always get by. You know I do.
Bless my loved ones. I release them to you
With a kiss and a bow. And gratitude too.
As I have spoken. So let it be.

This prayer was inspiredā¦
Blessing for she who waits and the unborn
Bless this mother, dry her tears
An easy delivery & no more fears
For the mother, I say Blessed be,
Keep this babe healthy & safe for me.
Make him strong that he may live long
To learn, to live and do no wrong.
Make him tall and straight, clear seeing
With a gentle heart, a righteous being.
With all the power in my soul
Keep these two strong and whole.
As I have spoken, so it shall be.
Blessed be
