Forgiveness and Gratitude for your Past Self Candle Spell

[image description: a lit blue candle dressed with herbs and with a leaft tied to it standing on a white plate; on this plate there's also some blend mix and a teaspoon; in the background you can see a part of a laptop]

During my coaching journey, a thing that came up was that I judged myself for what I now know weren't great choices, but that back then I didn't have the tools and information I needed to take.

So what did I do? (beside getting coached about it) A candle spell to forgive my past self and be grateful for everything my past self learned - and that I know consequently can know only bc of that.

Note: while I was thinking "I could make a spell for it" the image of this specific candle popped in my mind, and blue has a meaning for me and my past, but I would honestly advice to customize with the color that you think suits best!

What I used:

Spell ingredients:

a blue candle

honey (for sweetness, to oint and as my magical signature)

salt (for protection - I always add this!)

rosemary (for purification and protection)

lavender (also for purification and protection)

thyme (to let go sorrows of the past and bc the word is so similar to "time" that I feel it gives the passage of the time"

rose petals (for self love)

a sage leaf with written "self guilt" (to banish it) (of course you can totally customize what's written!)

Tools

a little bowl

a fireproof bowl or plate

a teaspoon

a cord

a pen

What I did:

I made a blend with salt, thyme, rosemary, rose and lavender in a bowl

I ointed the candle with honey, using a spoon to avoid getting my hands too sticky

With the help of the teaspoon I put the blend of herbs on the candle

I wrote "self guilt" on the sage leaf, then I used a little piece of cord to tie it to the candle

I put the candle on the fireproof plate and lit it

Once the candle had completely burned, the spell was over! I decided to throw away the leftovers in the trash, to properly simbolyze letting go

Remaking a healing/forgiveness spell jar

This is a draft from a day or two after the eclipse

A spell jar I made to apologise to a tree I like broke :(

So, I figured I’d take advantage of the full moon’s energy and remake it.

Ingredients~ (Any with ^ next to them are necessary for the spell)

^Eggshell for protection (the reason I had to apologise was because I gave the tree salt, which isn’t good for plants, so no salt substitute this time)

^Chamomile for healing (I used chamomile tea, since it’s what I have)

Rose Petals for love

Baby’s breath for communication

Orange peel for positive change, joy, etc

Cinnamon for wisdom and bringing strength to the spell

Blue string for soothing (and because it looks nice, tbh)

Pieces of the old jar: to infuse the new spell jar with the same energy

^Something to seal (I’m using white candle wax, for healing)

I made this similarly to how I make all of my spell jars. Tomorrow on my way to my bus stop I’m going to give the fixed jar back to the tree :)

Two Simple Spells for Hand Washing!

One is for banishing regret and forgiving yourself, and one is for cleansing the body and warding away illness.

The spell in yellow is heavily based off of this awesome idea by @moonlit-grimoire​ @grimoirechallenge2020​

No 🤗 love your blog. Can I ask for a forgiveness spell? Something with not much material please (for a specific person to forgive me) it would be very helpfull Thanks

Hi! Thank you so much, you’re a kind soul 😊 I’ve amended a jar spell I used myself a little while ago to include a bit less material, and quite easy to find or exchangeable items! The most important thing is that you genuinely feel sorry for what you’ve done! The stuff you’ll need is:

* Jar/container - ideally an empty honey jar (for sweetness!)* Green (courage, peace, friendship) or White (peace, pacifism, calmness) candle * Photo of the person, or you can write their name on a piece of paper* A small drawing or picture of something that they feel fondly towards, such as their favourite animal, a book character they love etc (this needs to be small as will be going into the jar!)* Sugar water* Basil (opens the heart, cultivates clarity and compassion), Rose petals/Lavender/Rosemary (love, friendship, happiness, peace, acceptance) -ideally fresh cuttings of all 4, but not everyone has all of these to hand so as a big believer in casual kitchen magic, using just dried basil and rosemary will have a reasonably good effect, though perhaps not quite as strong. As long as your intent is focused it should still work fine!

Method:

1.Gather the above items, and get yourself ready for spellwork - center, ground and cast your circle (or whatever you normally do in your craft!)

2.Once you’re ‘in the zone,’ light your candle, hold the photo/name of your friend and meditate on why you did whatever it was that you want forgiveness for. Visualise yourself gently explaining to them how sorry you are and that your friendship with them is very important to you. Keep doing this until you feel you have gathered enough energy to achieve your desired result.

3.Keeping their photo/name in your non-dominant hand, and your intent firmly on how apologetic you are, use the other hand to pour your sugar water into the jar - you only need this to be about half full. Then add your herbs/flowers, and the small drawing/picture of the thing your friend likes. Swill the liquid in the jar gently, letting the contents sink to the bottom.

4.Place the photo/name of your friend somewhere safe, and put the jar on top.Screw the lid onto the jar, and (carefully!) using your candle, drip wax around the seal of the lid. Whilst doing this, repeat:

“For what I’ve done,I weep and regret.Accept my plea;forgive and forget.”

5.Once the jar is fully sealed, you can blow out the candle, un-cast your circle, ground and center again, whatever your usual ending ritual is. Your spell is done!

Apologise to the photo and jar every day until you can see your friend to apologise in person. Your friend should accept this apology if your jar has done the trick! Once they have, you can pour the contents of the jar away, and cleanse and reuse/recycle the jar.

I do have to say that all spellwork is conducted at your own discretion, and that you must deal with the consequences. Specific to this spell, I’d like to add that if what you’ve done is something absolutely unforgivable, then even this jar may not improve the situation!

I hope this helps you and that you’re able to work things out with your friend. Falling outs can be very difficult. Love and light be with you 💙

Do you have any advice on how to get over the past, and forgiving yourself? Even after being forgiven by another for what you've done?

Hi! I certainly do. This is something that would fall more into the realm of Shadow Work- I’ll reblog a couple helpful posts for you after this. I would suggest exploring some different shadow work exercises and see what works well for you!

This is something I have struggled with myself, and this spell was particularly helpful for me.

🖤Smoke and Mirrors🖤

A Shadow Work Spell for Self Forgiveness

Note: Shadow Work is highly personalized! Feel free to modify this spell for what feels best for you.

You will need: 🖤a mirror (any size) 🖤herbs or incense or your choice 🖤a quiet room 🖤a small candle

Optional:🖤a moonless (new moon) night 🖤a small, smooth stone🖤a marker

1. On the night of the new moon, sit in a quiet place and gather your thoughts.

2. Light your single candle, and place it between yourself and your mirror. Make sure that you can see yourself in the mirror, and that your candle is the only light around you.

3. Light your incense or herbs of choice, being sure to practice proper fire safety techniques.

4. Stare at the smoke rising. Be sure you can see your reflection behind the smoke, but keep your attention on the swirls and shapes the smoke makes.

5. Relax and unfocus your eyes until everything seems a bit blurry. It may help to focus on your breathing during this time- try and feel your heart beat all throughout your body.

6. Think about what it is you’re trying to forgive yourself for. Think about how the situation came to be, and the choices you made. Do not think about how your choices affected other people! Think about how your choices affected yourself, and if they have shaped who you are today.

**It is important to note here that this is not an exercise to beat yourself up over your past choices. Take this opportunity to think objectively about what you did, and the reasons why you did it.**

7. Focus on your reflection now. Meet your eyes and speak aloud what you were thinking about. Do not look away, do not flinch. Recount the whole story to your reflection! Afterwards- hold your gaze and say:

”The choices I have made, bad and good, have shaped me into who I am. I am not the same person today that I was before, and I will not be the same person tomorrow that I am today. I forgive myself for (the subject of the spell), and I will learn from my mistakes and grow as a person.”

8. Say the words as many times as you need to, all while looking yourself in the eyes. When you feel you have said it enough, and you can feel yourself starting to forgive, extinguish your candle. Repeat this spell as often as needed until you have truly forgiven yourself.

🖤Optional step: each time you complete the spell, write “I am forgiven” on a small stone. Bury each stone outside, or in a flower pot.

A Spell to Ease Someone’s Guilt

Using a picture of them/item of theirs, and a white candle along with either dandelion (happiness), dogwood (love unimpeded by hardship), Lily of the Valley (return of happiness), or daffodils/white tulips (forgiveness). Burn the candle through the entire ritual, light the herb you've chosen to use and blow it out, use the smoke created to cleanse their picture or item of theirs and focus on bringing peace and happiness to their mind. This will work best if you can cleanse an object of theirs and then return it to them - like a watch they often wear or a gift you plan to give them etc.

Today I performed this spell, excepting multipled.

I asked forgiveness of Matt. I asked forgiveness of myself. I tapped into him energetically so I could have him ask my forgiveness and his own by proxy.

I burned one copy of each and buried the other. All four requests were granted on all parts.
