#fall cleansing

(a ritual to renew before winter)

-intentions: remove old obstacles, release shame and guilt, & unfasten unwanted bonds

-begin from the harvest moon or the last full moon before autumn, to be completed on the next new moon

-clip nails (just fingers, or all) & save them

-deep clean your home/space; focus on the things that you have been avoiding

-prepare a black candle, with salt representing purification

-throughout this time period, meditate on what you will be letting go of & leaving behind; memories, situations, people, objects, ideologies

-finish your cleaning before the sun rises on the day of the new moon

-trim the ends of your hair & combine it with your nails

Before heading into the winter months, a time of meditation and rest, as well as creativity and contemplation, it’s important to cleanse ourselves of negative, unwanted, or stagnant energy before we get down to the work of winter.
