Circle of Release
To banish negative energies or unwanted influences using a protective circle and fire energy.
Ingredients:
Black Candle – Represents banishing and absorbing negativity.
Salt – For creating the protective circle.
Rosemary or Sage – For cleansing the space.
Piece of Parchment Paper and Pen – To write the name or description of what you want to banish.
Fireproof Dish – To safely burn the parchment.
Iron Nail or Black Tourmaline – For grounding and protection.
Bell or Chime – To signal the release of energy.
Prepare the Space:
Cleanse the area with burning rosemary or sage, moving in a counterclockwise direction. This motion symbolizes the banishment of negativity.
Create the Circle:
Sprinkle salt in a wide circle around your workspace. Stand in the center with your materials.
Set the Intention:
Write on the parchment what you wish to banish. Be clear and concise, such as:
“I release the toxic energy of [specific situation]. It no longer has power over me.”
Light the Candle:
Place the black candle in the center of the circle and light it. Focus on its flame consuming and neutralizing negative energies.
Release the Energy:
Hold the parchment and visualize the situation or energy leaving your life. Burn the parchment in the candle’s flame and place it in the fireproof dish. As it burns, chant:
“By salt and fire, I cleanse this space.
All harm and darkness leave no trace.
Bound and banished, away you go,
Never to return, this I know.”
Signal the Banishment:
Ring the bell or chime three times, visualizing the sound breaking the final ties to the unwanted energy.
Ground and Seal:
Place the iron nail or black tourmaline in your hand and say:
“With this talisman, I stand protected.
The circle is sealed; my energy perfected.”
Close the Ritual:
Extinguish the candle. Scatter the ash from the parchment and salt outdoors, far from your home, symbolizing the final release.
