Autumn Equinox Ritual

Ritual for Mabon

This is a great ritual for releasing the past, clearing negative beliefs or feelings and welcoming in something new.

What you will need:

Herbs

Bowl for water

Candle  preferably white, yellow, green red or orange

Your favourite crystal

Pen and Paper

A Willingness to Release

1. Give yourself the gift of time and space.  Find a nice quiet spot.  Light your candle and place it next to your bowl of water.
2. Hold your crystal for a few minutes and just breathe.  This helps to clear your mind, get you focused and to release.
3. Put your herbs into the water.  You can use whatever herbs you have, in fact you can even cut open sachets of herbal tea.
4. Using your finger, stir the herb water around in a clockwise direction 5 times.
5. Take your pen and paper and start writing.  Write down anything you want to release in your life.  It could be small, big, it doesn’t matter.
6. When you are done writing, say it outloud 3 times.  Then fold or crumple up the paper and place it into your herb water.
7. Swirl the water around again with your finger 3, 6 or 9 times.  Watch the paper get soggier and soggier.
8. Take your bowl (and being careful not to slop onto yourself), lift it up to your heart centre.  Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, breathe over the water.  Then state loud and proud “I release all of this for my highest good.  So be it.”  Then pour your water out and throw the piece of paper away.

You have released and created space for something new and lovely to fill that space.
