Waning Gibbous Release Spell: Let Go of Emotional Baggage Under the Dissolving Moon
1. Understanding the Waning Gibbous Phase & Your Intention
- Identify why this lunar phase is ideal for release, banishing, and shedding what no longer serves you.
- Define a clear, single intention (e.g., release a fear, a habit, or a past hurt) and write it down as a simple affirmation.
- Check the current moon sign to align your spell with elemental energies (e.g., water signs for emotions, earth for physical habits).
2. Gather Your Ritual Tools & Ingredients
- Black or dark blue candle (for release), a small fireproof dish, and a lighter or matches.
- Dried rosemary (purification), a pinch of sea salt (grounding), and a small piece of paper with your intention written on it.
- Optional: selenite or black tourmaline crystal, a bowl of water to represent the moon’s dissolving energy.
3. Prepare Your Sacred Space
- Cleanse the area with smoke (sage, palo santo, or incense) or by ringing a bell three times.
- Cast a simple circle by walking clockwise around your workspace, visualizing a protective silver light.
- Ground yourself: take three deep breaths, feel your feet connected to the earth, and state your intention aloud.
4. Step-by-Step Release Ritual
- Light the black candle and say: “As this flame burns, I release what holds me back. I am free.”
- Hold the paper with your intention over the flame (safely) and let it catch fire, then drop it into the fireproof dish while visualizing the release.
- Scatter the ashes into running water (a sink or outdoor stream) or bury them in the earth, thanking the moon for its dissolving power.
5. Closing the Circle & Grounding After the Spell
- Extinguish the candle (do not blow it out – use a snuffer or pinch it) and thank the elements and the moon.
- Open the circle by walking counter
