Last year one of the women in my circle asked me to create a spell for her family. It is essentially designed to clear away the old negative energy of the former year and to draw new positive energy in the new year.
Out with the old...
Cauldron or stainless steel pot
black candle
paper
pen
rue or tobacco
Solomon's seal
frankincense
Prep Work
write the ills of the former year on a slip of paper
Pre mix the herbs with a mortar and pestal or with in a ziploc using a meat mallet.
The Ritual
Cast a circle of if desire
Invite your deities if you wish or allow a moment of silence for a group of solitaries to invite their personal deities
Light the candle in the cauldron
Place the slip into the flame and visualize all the grievances, ills, and negatives going up in smoke
Add the dry herb mix to the cauldron into the flames as well if desired
Recite: Lay to rest these dark remnants
From the year gone past
Clear them away, to make way
For the year to come.
Cover the cauldron or pot to extinguish flame
...In with the New
honeysuckle
ylang ylang oil
rose
rosemary
patchouli
mint
white candle
lotus oil
sage smudge stick
offering dish
Prep Work
Set out the herbs in dish
anoint self with the lotus oil
The Ritual
Smudge the area and any participants
Recite as each herb and oil is added to the offering dish:
Protection, Health, Love, Peace and Prosperity
Are the Seeds we sow
For this coming year
Please help them to grow
You may thank your deities, have cakes and ale ( my favorite is to use a non alcoholic sparkling white grape juice and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies)
Release any spirits or deities
Close the circle if you cast one.
