Save your oil and let it brew\/steep until the eve of the next New Moon preferably OUTSIDE (or inside where you WILL NOT be disturbed) set up a sacred space (however you are used to that is comfortable for you) \u2013 this does not need to be elaborate to be effective.\u00a0 Dress in appropriate ritual attire and lend formality to this event as it is obviously serious in matter to you for you to go to this length to stop something; it warrants your respect in the way in which you present yourself.

Again, heartfelt words are most important.\u00a0 By all means use your own words if you prefer or feel free to use the words below.\u00a0 Make sure you are well-grounded and centered and can remain focused.

Away from me, my home, I plea, Keep trouble and ill-will away from me. Burn these troubles in the sacred fires And Replace them with my heart\u2019s desires. Bring Peace and Clarity, Strength of Will Cut ties that bind that make me ill, By power of Night, of Crone, of Moon, So shall it be done~~quickly \u2018an soon! Bring Harm to None, this spell is done. When you FEEL the spell is complete, proceed how you are comfortable doing in closing the circle, the quarters and releasing the Goddess. Make sure to thank All Powers for their answers and then look up into the dark sky (if outside) or close your eyes and tilt your head upward and KNOW that this is done.\u00a0 KNOW that this is over.\u00a0 It is complete and will take hold.\u00a0 Feel the energy through you and feel confident that what you have asked for is manifesting at that very moment. As the candle is burning, carefully take it outside somewhere where you are able to bury it.\u00a0 Do not blow it out.\u00a0 Dig a small hole in DIRT (not grass or anything else).\u00a0 Make sure the hole is large enough to hold the candle. Now, take a handful of dirt and as you say, \u201cSo Mote It Be\u201d, place the handful of dirt over the flame to extinguish.\u00a0 Place the candle in the hole.\u00a0 Cover the hole.\u00a0 Stomp on the hole that is now covered 3 times.\u00a0 Turn away and leave and don\u2019t look back at the area that night.
