A Midnight Ritual if You Cannot Sleep Because You Are Worrying About a Confrontation or Crisis in the Morning
You will need:
A dark-blue candle
A small bowl of salt
Paper and a pen
A bowl of soil
A small, lidded plastic container
A blue pen
Timing:
Midnight, called the time of the dark sun, indoors or in the garden.
The spell:
Light the candle and, looking into the flame, say: “The dark sun across the word does shine, but let all be peaceful in this place of mine.”
Sprinkle a few grains of salty into the flame, saying: “The sun will rise again at dawn, ‘til then I consign all fear ‘till morn.”
On the paper, write over and over again the fears and the worries that are troubling you. Tear off just a corner and singe it in the candle flame. (Have a bowl of soil ready in case it catches fire.)
Extinguish the candle, and put the folded paper and the singed corner, burned or not, into a small plastic container in the freezer.
Dispose of the plastic container and its contents the next morning.
