Depression Bottle Charm and Ritual
This is another one I like to keep on my person, so I make it small (though of course you can make it any size based on your needs).
While setting up your area, CONCENTRATE on the purpose of your work. Imagine how good it feels to be happy. Do not let negative thoughts enter your mind if you can help it. Just prior to your work, bathe in purification herbs or oils (lavender or rosemary is great), or with your favorite bath salts. While you are bathing, concentrate again on the purpose of your spell.
A bottle or jar with a lid (or cork)
Rosemary, fresh, dried or oil
Stone chips of any of the following: agate, carnelian, jasper, lapis lazuli, malachite, obsidian, or tigerseye (you can usually find these in the beading section of your local craft store)
any size candle (dark blue, yellow, or white)
After bathing, go to your work area. Cast a circle and light your incense. Envision a large, yellow ball of light surrounding you and your work area. Hold the yellow candle between the palms of your hands and direct all of your positive energy into the candle. Place the candle in its candleholder.
Prior to lighting the candle, say, (either aloud, or to yourself):
This candle represents the love and energy I have for myself
Light the candle and say (either aloud or to yourself):
As I light this candle, the veil of darkness that is ever present in my mind is lifting. The darkness ceases to exist as the light of this flame glows. Long has the darkness filled my mind, my desire to be happy is intense like the heat of fire. As this candle burns, my spirits are lifting and the negative energy is washing away. I will be happy; my life will be peaceful. I can see myself as I wish to be-happy and free
Sit back and watch the candle burn. Add your ingredients to your bottle or jar as you watch. Meditate on how good if feels to be happy and envision the veil of darkness lifting. When the candle had burned 1/3 of the way, say (either aloud or to yourself):
As the flame of the candle is extinguished-the light burns forever in my mind
After the candle has burned away and the leftover wax has cooled-throw away the leftover wax into to trash and envision your depression being thrown away with the wax. Seal your container so that the healing energy of this ritual is encased inside, and you can keep it with you for whenever you need that energy again.
