The first full moon of the year, called the Cold Moon or the
Wolf Moon. And where am I? Well, rather than leading a beautiful full moon
services, I am at work. Also this weekend, I am taking my family on a little
trip for my son in law’s Christmas present.
Since I am not leading any rituals, I did not write one for
the occasion, although you could look back at some of my previous work for this
particular full moon.
So I don’t leave you hanging, here is a short spell for the
full moon I found in Daily Spellbook For The Good Witch by Patti
Wigington.
You will need:
A Black Candle
A Pen and Paper
A Fireproof Bowl
This spell is to be performed on the night of January’s Full
Moon or one of the three nights following.
Light the black candle. Think about all the baggage that has
held you back, caused you problems, or made you feel unworthy. Write down these
things, and then light the paper in the candle’s flame. Place it in the
fireproof bowl to burn and say:
Today I say farewell to the things that have prevented me
from becoming the person I wish to be. I send you away, far from me, and far
from my life. You no longer have any influence upon me. You are my past, and
the past is gone. I banish you, I banish you, I banish you.
Once the paper has burned away to ashes, extinguish the
flame. The next morning bury the ashes some place far away from your home.
