Spell to Release Grief

Spell to Release Grief

“Tearfall to Starlight”

What you’ll need:

    •    A small black candle

    •    A bowl of salt water (to represent tears)

    •    A feather

    •    A piece of paper and pen

Ritual:

    1.    Light the candle and sit before it in silence.

    2.    Write what you’re grieving—words, names, moments, or emotions—on the paper.

    3.    Dip the feather into the salt water and gently brush it over your heart and forehead as you say:

“By feather’s touch and salted tide,

I give grief wings—no more to hide.

Through pain and love, I let you go,

Into starlight, soft and slow.”

    4.    Burn the paper in the candle’s flame (safely) and bury the ashes outside or scatter them to the wind.

Best performed: On a waning moon or cloudy evening.
