Spell-Struck
Cleanse, Restore, Renew
It’s once again another new year upon us! Some believe this year, 2012, to be special…in a myriad of ways. The great thing about this spell below, is that it doesn’t matter what your beliefs are concerning what 2012 might bring. It is NEVER a bad time to cleanse yourself spiritually, emotionally and mentally and restore and find that renewed sense of vigor and vitality.
I hope 2012 brings us all much peace, much abundance and much love. Enjoy this spell and may you start 2012 on a spiritually clean slate to welcome in all that the Universe has for you!
Items needed: 2 white candles; picture of yourself; incense (optional); tea (optional)
- Although not necessary, it is a good idea to bathe before this ritual/prayer to do a ‘symbolic’ cleansing. Use a refreshing scent (peppermint is a nice choice) to stimulate your senses. Focus on the things you wish to release and picture your spiritual self in a cleansed and pure state. Then quiet your mind and if desired, have a cup of calming (but not sedating) tea.
- Cast a circle, call the guardians, if you normally do or desire. However, it is always good to ask for protection during any prayer/spell.
- Get 2 white candles (4” spell candles are fine.)
- Place them equi-distance away from each other on the center of your altar or place of prayer.
- Lay a picture of yourself in the center on your altar just in front and in between the 2 white candles; laying face up.
- Light some incense as you desire (something refreshing is a good choice)
- You should have already done some focusing on the things you wish to release. Now, thinking of those things, light the white candle on the left. We are using a white candle instead of a black candle for this as we are not ‘banishing’ anything but instead we are focusing on ‘cleansing ourselves from the past things that no longer serve us and gratefully releasing those things.’
- Focus on purifying yourself as you release each unwanted thing from your life. These unwanted or undesired things can be physical items; habits, thoughts, traits, relationships, etc… anything that you wish to no longer maintain or have in this coming year. With NO ILL THOUGHTS OR WISHES, GLADLY release these things as you focus on the candle on your left.
- Now, glance at your picture of yourself on the altar and thank yourself for letting those things go. Thank Spirit for helping you in do so. Let the candle on the left burn.
- As you glace now at the white candle on your right, light this candle and focus on those things that you wish to bring forth INTO your life. Again, whatever you wish to have in your life in the new year, physical, emotional or otherwise….focus on these. Take time to drink in the flame. Thank Spirit, thank yourself thank all the good that is helping you in achieving these manifestations. Belief is crucial. Belief manifests reality. Believe with all you can muster that what you desire will come to pass. Make sure your thoughts, wishes and desires are as pure and “good for all concerned” as possible. When you feel ready, you can release any circle if you cast one and thank your guardians, Spirit and close as you see fit.
- You may carefully lift the candle on the right and slide the picture of yourself under that burning candle (if safe to do so – don’t do anything that could be a fire hazard.)
- As this candle now burns, KNOW that these things are on your way. That the cries of your heart have been cast now to the spirit winds and are going to manifest as you have prayed.
Keep a diary/journal/log of the things you have asked for/prayed for in this spell-ritual-prayer. Update it throughout the year as things come to pass. Use it in your next New Year’s ritual.
Happy New Year and until next month,
Morika
