Bye-Bye Baggage: A Spellbinding Guide to Letting Go


The phases of the moon from the full moon till crescent moon

Hello, celestial aficionados! Let's talk about our favorite nightlight in the sky - the moon. She's not just a pretty face lighting up the night, but a cosmic powerhouse with mood swings we can benefit from. Each phase she goes through, she's vibing a different kind of energy that we can tap into for our magical shenanigans.

Now, let's chat about the waning gibbous moon. That's when our lunar diva decides she's had enough of the limelight and starts to dim her glow. But don't be fooled! This is a fantastic time for some spiritual housekeeping - letting go, wrapping up loose ends, and generally saying "bye Felicia" to things that no longer spark joy.

In this blog post, we'll unveil a straightforward yet zesty spell that dances with the waning gibbous moon's energy. This will help you wave a cheerful farewell to the past and roll out the red carpet for positive transformations. So, buckle up, grab your wand, and let's get witchy with it!

Magical Must-Haves: Tools, Herbs, and Crystals

  1. A silver candle - symbolizes purity and lunar energy.

  2. A small piece of paper and a pen.

  3. Dried sage or lavender - for purification and clarity.

  4. A piece of clear quartz crystal - amplifies intentions and energy.

  5. An amethyst crystal - for spiritual protection and transformation.

Unchain Your Rain: Letting Go Ritual

Ready, set, enchant! Here's your step-by-step guide to casting that release spell.

1. Track down that elusive quiet corner where you can dabble in spell-making without pesky interruptions. Feel the moon's vibes, even if it's playing hide and seek behind the clouds.

2. Now, let's spring-clean your magical workspace! Light up that sage or lavender like a herbal rockstar. Let the smoke give your candle, paper, and crystals a good spiritual bath. Picture any bad juju being poofed away by the purifying fumes.

3. Plop yourself down comfortably, cradling the candle in your power hand (yup, you've got one of those!). Take a deep breath, channel your inner zen master, and focus on the things you want to kick out of your life's party.

4. Next, it's time for some candle graffiti! Use a sharp tool (no, not your wit) to etch symbols or words that represent the party crashers you're evicting. Draw an “X” over them to drive the point home.

5. Once you're done with your candle masterpiece, pop it into a holder and set it safely on a flame-proof stage. Light it up and let its flame dance as it carries your intentions.

6. Grab that piece of paper and spill your feelings about what you're letting go. Don't hold back, this is your emotional dumping ground!

7. Time to chat with your clear quartz crystal. Say:

Quartz crystal, amplify my will,

Infuse this space with magic still.

Guide me on this journey, true,

As I bid the old adieu.

8. Up next, have a heart-to-heart with your amethyst crystal. Say:

Amethyst, guard me from the past,

Grant transformation that will last.

In the waning moon's embrace,

Let positive change take its place.

9. Set the crystals like vigilant guardians on either side of your candle. Hold your intention-filled paper over the candle's flame, drop it into a fireproof container, and let it burn while chanting your magic mantra:

Waning moon, hear my plea,

Release what no longer serves me.

With this fire, I let go,

Clear the path for me to grow.

10. After you've safely snuffed out the flame, watch the smoke from the burnt paper ascend. Imagine your troubles being carried off into the ether, leaving you feeling as light as a feather. As the ashes settle, know that your wishes are now zooming around in the universe.

11. Now, give a shout-out to the moon, the elements, and your tools for having your back. Revel in the liberating sensation coursing through you and look forward to the positive changes that are about to make an entrance!

 

Bidding adieu to the past with some lunar magic during the waning gibbous moon? Now that's what I call a spiritual spring cleaning! Remember, the moon's cycles are not just for werewolves - they're here to guide us mere mortals in our magical mischief too. With each spell you cast, think of it as hopping on a stepping stone toward a future so bright, you'll need sunglasses. So, tighten your witchy bootstraps, and let's pave the way for some positive transformation. Blessed be... and remember to keep it spell-tacular!
