Waning Moon ritual : Letting go of ...
The Moon is actually waning (in Virgo today to be accurate) so I thought it was time for a little "letting go of..." spell.
Indeed, this time when the moon is slowly disappearing is a perfect time to make something go away from us.
We all have some issues we have to deal with and sometimes we need an extra help to get rid of it and give us the strength to move on or to solve these troubles.
As a cosmic witch I usually use for this spell the Waning Moon, of course, but also the extra energy of a planet or a constellation to really highlight the subject of my spell.
For example : Venus if it is a love or beauty matter (you can banish acnee away !), Mercury for work or communication - I would advise you to wait until its retrograde is over though- and so on...
Tonight I used the energies of Mars. I really wanted its soldier vibe to absolutely destroy something about myself I was really unhappy with.
Anyway here is the spell I did. Feel free to use it, modify it with what works best for you, make it your own ~
Write and burn away spell
- Candle (use black if you'd like) & Matches
- A bowl - Heat resistant!
- (Optional) Wheel of planets & Crystals
Before starting the spell, write on a piece of paper what you want to let go or get rid of :
"By the energy of this waning moon (and the energy of ...), I am getting rid of ..... that I demonstrate/have/feel. Tonight it is burning away and destroyed into oblivion. Starting tomorrow ... (insert here how you will feel or live without the burden of the issue you are experiencing). As I hurt none so be it."
Cast your circle the way you usually do
Place the wheel of planet at the center of the altar and put crystals on the planets to call
Place the candle at the center of the wheel of planet and light it
Channel the energies of the moon and planet/constellations you want to use
Once it is done, read your paper and let it burn in the bowl, visualizing the issue you have being turned to ashes
After the paper is entirely burned, light off the candle and let your altar sit as it is
Channel back the energies you borrowed and thank them
Open your circle the way you usually do
Next morning empty the ashes from the bowl, put them in a sachet, a paper or whatever and throw it in a public garbage bean far from your home.
