- Discarding what no longer serves you, makes you happy or is getting in the way of your goals and dreams.
- Giving thanks and showing gratitude for the positive things in your life and your accomplishments so that you can attract more of that good stuff.
- Visualizing what you want to accomplish in the future and make it happen. What are your goals for 2019? Or maybe just January? Maybe just tomorrow? Write them down.

On this day, I chose to let go of what holds me back,, effects my health or serenity in a negative way and I do this without the suggestion of anyone else. The time has come to say goodbye to __________________________. I’ve learned what I was meant to learn and am ready to move on as the moon provides with the strength and courage I need tonight and my higher power witnesses as I release this addiction.I said addiction here because this is what I wrote when I cast this very spell to quit smoking. It worked and is still working months later, by the way. You are basically writing down an affirmation of what your intention is and that you are releasing the bad boyfriend, habit, job or even friendship that no longer servers you and that you want to remove from your life. Get creative but be precise. Always ask or state what you mean directly and leave no wiggle room here. You want to be precise because you want your results to be precise. Place this piece of paper in the bottom of the fire proof bowl. 2. Light your smudge stick and pass the letter of intent through it. 3. Dress your candle with the oil. On the top rub a circle clockwise to start something new and spread from the center of the candle out since we’re getting rid of what does’t serve us and pushing it away. 4. Light and place in the fire proof bowl. 5. Take your black string or cord and tie it into a knot. The knot is what you are releasing so think about the unhappiness or heartache this knot has caused you, hence the reason to unite and release. 6. Take the scissors and cut the string so that one piece has the knot and the other doesn’t. Don’t cut the knot itself. 7. As you cut, visualize what you are pushing away and watch it retreat. Feel how good it will feel when this situation, habit or person is out of your life. Feel it and be thankful as if it has already happened, because it WILL happen. 8. Light the piece of string that still has the knot with the candle and drop into the bowl and let it burn. 9. Say the following incantation while it burns:
I am strong more every hour, My will is growing as is my power, Take this plight, it now unbound, I am released, my burden unwound. So mote it be.10. Burn the letter of intention in the bowl with the string and the incantation if you wrote it down. 11. Ring the bell 3 times. 12. Place spell remains (ashes and feedings if you added any) and put into a jar with a lid. 13. Release your formation and or circle and go bury that jar in the back yard forever.
Your site is astounding!!! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us. Sending you so much love light and blessings.
Thank you so much! Keep coming back because we are just getting started 🙂
What would you say would be a well-stocked witch’s cabinet? I don’t have all the items noted in this ritual so I will be going to buy some items. I appreciate any thoughts you might have on this 🙂
thank you
Blessings

Hi! That is such a great question. Fist, I would like to say that a white candle will work for anything, so no worries if you don’t have black or blue. For the candle oil, you can get away with just some olive oil that you have charged, I’ve done it in a pinch. It’s more for the ritual and you can use anything you want for your own magic.
You can make rosemary oil, it takes 2 weeks, but is so easy to do and works for just about everything since it’s a great substitution for frankincense. I have a post about making it here: https://www.whitewitchgrimoire.com/how-to-make-ritual-rosemary-oil/
Your ritual tools can be as simple as that, honestly, because it’s all about YOU and YOUR magic!!
If you are going to buy some items, clear quartz, white candles and just some regular salt are must haves.
