SPELL TO HEAL FROM LOSS, SEPARATION, DIVORCE
Death, divorce, empty nest, severing ties with close friends and acquaintances --- count it all loss. I've used this Native American ritual a few times and find it very helpful. The greatest shift seems to be a change in one's own perspective about the situation. Make adjustments to suit your belief system. And remember, grief is a process. There is no magic pill. Give yourself time and permission to process your feelings.
ITEMS NEEDED
Smudge stick (I like sweetgrass or sage for this one)
Matches
Bowl or shell
Large feather
Aromatherapy burner or diffuser
Lemon or lavender essential oil
Walnut Bach Flower Remedy
Glass of spring water
WHAT TO DO
Smudge yourself, asking Buffalo to help you start to release the pain and hurt. (Another alternative is to call on Algea --- Greek goddesses of pain and suffering.) Commit to the purpose of letting go.
Light your aromatherapy burner or turn on your diffuser with a few drops of lemon and/or lavender oil. Lemon helps us to accept change and let go; lavender gives resolution and helps you to release negative emotions.
Sit quietly and breathe deeply. Visualize yourself standing in the middle of a magickal circle. You feel totally safe and protected -- nothing can hurt you within this space. There is another circle nearby and within it is the person from whom you are separated.
You are both safe within your circles but you realize that there is a shimmering thread between your solar plexus areas still joining you.
Take this opportunity to say anything you wish to say. Remember the good and bad times. If you can, send love and forgiveness to this person. This, of course, will help with your own release.
Now, turn around in your circle. There is a silver knife on the ground. Pick it up and carefully cut the cord saying:
I now release us from our past relationship with love and forgiveness.
You will feel a tingle of energy as the psychic tie is cut. Spend some time focusing, and imagine how you will move forward with your new life. Then come back to waking consciousness.
Take 4 drops of Walnut Bach Flower Remedy in a glass of spring water. This will help your transition to a new life. Take it whenever you need extra help and strength in the time that follows.
