>I guess I need a habit breaking spell.
Here's a habit breaking spell. I think it actually came from this list..
although it might have been from some random site. i'm afraid I don't have
the source on this one. :(
A Simple Spell for the Waning Moon
to rid yourself of an unwanted habit.
Begin this working any time during the waning moon. Set aside thirty
minutes each day to focus yourself
and perform this working. The components of this working have been selected
for their attributes in
several areas such as healing, purification and memory enhancement. This
spell is performed over a
period of three nights.
Components:
A quiet space
3 candles - one for each night tapers or votives: choose
your color: popular choices would include
black for banishing the habit, orange for change, red for
courage, white for general use, etc.
Salt - sea salt or other available salt, about 1 Tablespoon
Rosemary herb - Rosemarinus officinalis - a small handful or
about 1/2 oz.
Parchment - or a small piece of quality paper about 4" X 4"
Your favorite writing instrument for rituals
A small cloth pouch or bag this can be any color and you
could match it to the color you choose for
your candles.
Frankincense resin - Boswellia carterii - about 1 Tablespoon
A censer, cauldron, or heat proof dish with a small amount
of sand or gravel placed in
the bottom
Three Self- ignighting charcoals - the type used for
incense, not the kind used for outdoor barbeques
which contain toxins.
Arrange all of the spell components near you - don't forget to bring
something to light the candle and
charcoal with and make sure that the incense won't trip your smoke
detector! What a shock that would be
to your focus! Light the charcoal and place it in the censor.
Sit quietly for a few minutes to focus on what you desire to achieve with
this working. You may choose
to erect a "circle of protection" or "circle of power" at this time if that
is your standard proceedure.
Using your favorite writing instrument and the parchment, write down a few
key words that describe the
habit you wish to rid yourself of. Here are some examples:
If you wish to release your anger or frustration about a current
situation, so you could write
something like: "I will not let this get to me, I hereby set my anger
free". If you wish to release
yourself from eating suggary snacks each afternoon, you might draw a
picture of a piece of candy
with an X over it. This is the time to use your creativity and make
the working an extension of your
energy by personalizing it. Your words do not have to rhyme, your
picture does not have to be
artistically rendered, it does not have to make sense to anyone else
but you.
Light one of the three candles, and re-focus your intent. While you are
lighting the candle you may
choose to say your favorite words for Fire blessing or something like, "The
Fire within me is strong. I
have the courage and desire to change." Place the parchment in the cloth
pouch.
Place the Rosemary and Frankincense in the pouch while keeping your focus
on your intent. Turn the
pouch over several times to mix everything, then reach in and remove a
large pinch of the resin and herb
mixture (not the parchment). Place the mixture you removed on the charcoal
to burn and take several
deep, steady breaths. You may wish to say your favorite words for Air
blessing or something like, "With
each breath, I know that I can change."
Add the Salt to the pouch. Keep focusing on your intent. Again, you may
choose to say your favorite
words for Earth blessing or something like, "I have the strength of the
Earth. I have the will to change."
Sit quietly for a few more minutes and consider different ways you help
yourself to alter your behavior.
You will find that many new ideas will arise in your mind that you
previously had not thought of.
Allow the candle to burn down in a safe place and keep the pouch with you.
You can place it under your
pillow or at your bedside while you sleep.
On the second night of the spell, light another charcoal and place it in
the censor. Light the next candle.
Hold the cloth pouch in both hands and take several deep, slow breaths.
Focus your intent to alter your
behavior. Try to keep your focus for as long as possible. If you were not
perfect in changing your
behavior since last night, do not feel guilty or frustrated. Change takes
time and the spell isn't over until
the habit is transformed.
Reach into the pouch and remove a large pinch of the herb, resin, and salt
mixture. Place it on the burning
charcoal. At this time you may wish to confirm your intent by saying
something like, "As I will it, so mote
it be!" or "So be it!" Let the candle burn down in a safe place.
On the third night. Light the last candle and the last charcoal. Repeat the
proceedure from the second
night except this time, remove the remainder of the resin, herb & salt
mixture, AND the parchment from
the pouch. Place the mixture and the parchment on the charcoal. Set the
pouch aside and focus on your
intent while you watch your parchment/mixture burn. You may wish to help
the parchment along by
touching it to the candle flame and then dropping it into the censor.
Again, you may wish to confirm your
intent by saying something like, "It is so!" or "So mote it be!"
