a releasing ritual
hey witches (or whatever term you prefer)!
in honour of the current waning moon, i wanted to write out a simple releasing ritual you can perform. this can be used to let go things such as people/relationships, attachments, thought patterns, situations, draining spirits/energies, or any negativity that is impacting you and no longer serves. this is super simple and can be done any time, however the vanishing moon phase is a perfect time for releasing.
ingredients/tools:
paper and pen (black ink is great!)
a black candle (can substitute for white, just make sure to set intentions); if you can’t have a flame that’s okay stay tuned for a simple alternative!
a white candle (i use both black and white; black for releasing, white for cleansing). you can always use a fake candle for effect if you wish
fire safe bowl (as above if you can’t have fire)
a black crystal, like black tourmaline, onyx, obsidian, smokey quartz, the like
method below!
you’ll want to start this ritual by grounding. whatever method works for you, i like to meditate and imagine roots growing from the base of my spine down through the earth. open your circle (if that’s how you practice), and call in any spirits, ancestors or deities you wish.
light your black candle and the white candle, setting the intention to release any negativity holding you down, and replacing it with positive vibrations and energy
on your piece of paper, write a list of the negativity in your life that you are wanting to let go of - be as specific as you can and write as much as you can/want to
once you’ve written your list, fold the paper AWAY from your body, and as you do so, imagine the negativity being pulled away from your body. i like to fold 3 times, but that’s just my preference
tear the paper into pieces - as big or as small as you like
(if you cant have fire, sub this for part 7!) light those pieces of paper on fire using the flame from the black candle, dropping them into the fire safe bowl, imagining any attachments to those things being burned away and stripped from you
instead of burning, you can always flush the torn pieces down the toilet (tear the pieces up small!), or throw them in the trash. continue to step 8.
as it burns/is disposed of, ask the universe/source/whatever you like to replace that negativity with positive, high vibrational energy, seeing it fill your space and the spaces within you left open by the releasing
blow out the black candle. leave the white candle/fake candle burning for however long you like, to help cleanse away any lingering or stagnant energies before blowing it out/turning it off/letting it burn down. thank the candles for their time, and close your ritual however you choose to do so, thanking any spirits you welcomed in.
i hope that this ritual is useful for you, please let me know if you try it and how you go! if there’s any type of ritual you would like to see from me, please send tour ideas to my ask box.
love always, taylah xo

1// set up more of a plant section in a workout area. Used the table I was working on for my mom before she passed and set my grandmothers ceramic Christmas tree in with the other greenery. It feels right and it is peaceful.
2// C and I revamped my home office - it had become a catch all as I wasn’t working any from the house. I now have a standing desk and changed out my art for a piece mom painted me. I love the progress and am working on a piece to go behind me for video calls. I’m painting a plant/book stand, then maybe mount all my diplomas/certificates?
3// hung the blue painting from my grandmothers. I always loved it, it is only shades of blue and always spoke to me. She gifted it to me when I got my first place and I’ve lovingly tugged it along with me everywhere since 💚
4// hung art in the hall upstairs, only took 12 years hahaha
5// took a leaf out of the dining room table and we are playing with some ideas to split the living room and have some swivel chairs. We had a bench and now it’s all chairs. If is starting to feel more cozy and that’s what we want and what serves us at this time.
6// rearranged some shelves in the living room. I’m feeling more thinning to come, it feels lighter though and that’s a start.
ALSO, I found Js birth certificate and ss card. Then I found Ls ss card, not her birth certificate. I know it’s somewhere, probably stuck to something, however, I just ordered one because I can and it wasn’t as hard as I thought.
We’ve decided to change the kids school this coming year. We had the best of hopes when we started the school we are at, and the principle when we signed up was amazing and progressive. Since he left, it’s not been the same and just isn’t meeting the priorities we have set and the special things the kids have interest in. Too, the rhetoric that is coming to light isn’t lining up with our values. It’s a good change I feel. J is gifted in mechanics/electronics, and that program was cut, plus Lils wants to be in theater, which they only perform one Christmas show a year… we will be best served elsewhere and instead of dread, I feel excitement, so I know it’s the right choice.
Today I gathered all the goodies for the kids valentines, and this will be the last ‘first’ without my mom. Over the weekend I felt almost a crippling sensation of coming out of my skin. I am choosing to look it as growth, and how a snake sheds its skin, I’m becoming a new version of myself? I cleansed the house and opened all the windows. So much forward momentum and positivity is coming and with us, that I can’t help but feel a settled stillness. That life will continue to go on and I will carry her with me, even though she is not here, she’s in everything I do and feel. She’s here even though she’s not.
Peace and happy valentines my lovelies. So much love and prosperity for us this coming year xx
