Sometimes there are things in life we can’t control. No matter what that may be, it can leave behind emotional baggage for a long time after the situation has passed. Personally, I tend to hold on to, and get upset about, a lot of small things (or, things that today me would consider small). I wrote up this spell for those of you who have the same struggle with holding onto things.

‘It’s Time To Let Go’ Spell:

What you will need:

A piece of paper and pen

A blue candle

Onyx, Smokey quartz, and/or black tourmaline (feel free to use any others that speak to you!)

A small mirror (to set your work on)

Herbs:

1. Sage: for wisdom and clarity

2. Rose petals:

Yellow: as a thanks to the past relationships you may be letting go

Red: for self love, and another thanks to any love you are letting go

3. Basil: Protection

4. Coffee: to give energy to your spell

5. Salt: Protection

6. Rosemary: cleansing and protection

7. Bay leaf: truth

The spell:

Write down all your intentions on the paper. Write down what feelings you’re wanting to let go of from what situation. (Be specific!!!)

Anoint your candle and feel free to carve intentions onto it. When anointing your candle, make sure to start from the wick and move away. (I had a pyramid candle, so I wrote forgive and forget on alternating sides)

Fold your paper into half, then thirds vertically. Unfold then do the same thing horizontally. This will hold your herbs.

Place all your herbs into the center most part of the paper, fold and place this on the mirror. Then, place your candle on top of the paper.

Arrange your crystals around the spell. There’s no specific way to do this, just do whatever feels right.

Light your candle! As the wax melts down the sides, it will naturally seal the paper.
