Fire Cleansing Spell to Banish Negativity

You will need:

• a well-ventilated space (or you may choose to perform this ritual outdoors)
• a thick pillar candle in any of the following colors: red, green, yellow, or white
• a fireproof bowl or cauldron
• unlined paper and a pencil
• dried sage and rosemary
• your athame, a knife, or a nail to use when inscribing the candle

If you are able to, perform this spell at noon on Litha.
Before you light the candle, take whatever tool you’ve chosen and carefully
carve a banishing spiral on the front of the candle. To do this, start in the
center of what will be the spiral symbol, and slowly work your way outward
in an ever-increasing circle, going counterclockwise from the starting point.
When you have covered most of the front of the candle, stop, and light the
candle.
Next, tear your paper into as many smaller pieces as you need; you are going
to use the paper pieces to write things you wish to banish from your life (a
word of caution: do not write the names of people here. If you believe you
need to be free of a person’s influence, then write that instead.) As you finish
writing on each piece, fold the paper away from you, then hold it in the
candle’s flame to light it on fire. Drop the burning paper into the fireproof
bowl or cauldron to continue to burn, and drop a pinch of the sage and the
rosemary into the flames. Continue these steps for each piece of paper you’ve
written on.
When you are finished, grab one more pinch of the herbs and drop these into
the candle’s flame, and say:
“By the fire of the Litha sun,
these things that have plagued me
are no more,
As I’ve burned them one by one,
my spirit is healed, and restored.”
Allow the candle to burn until midnight; then you may pinch out the flame.
