Cleansing & Banishing
The Burning Away Spell
Write what you want gone and burn it — with a specific structure that makes it powerful.
What You Will Need
Paper and pen
To write down what you want to release, transferring the burden from your mind to a physical object that can be destroyed
A fireproof bowl or cauldron
A safe container in which to burn the paper and contain the ashes
Matches or a lighter
To ignite the paper and begin the transformation from burden to ash
A pinch of salt
Added to the bowl before burning to amplify the purifying power of the fire
A black candle or white candle
Black for banishing negativity, white for purification; either works to set the tone of the ritual
Moon Phase & Timing
Fire transforms completely, leaving nothing but ash. Working under the waning moon aligns this destruction with the natural cycle of release and dissolution.
Waning Moon: Best for burning away specific fears, regrets, resentments, or patterns you have clearly identified and are determined to end
New Moon: Ideal for burning away vague heaviness or unnamed burdens you feel but cannot articulate clearly
