Banishing Emotional Pain



	I wrote this when I had an intense need for emotional healing. It is 
just a basic outline, but it will give you the tools to ease your heart. The 
key to successful well working is inside you. They are mostly need driven, 
and adding your own energies is vital.




Tools:
black candle
pen
paper


These are the basic tools for the spell. Add to this oils, ( I like cinnamon 
- protection, love, healing) or crystals, stones or whatever you feel you 
need to use. You don't have to anything because, the ritual itself is enough 
on its own. just remember its YOUR spell.

Choose your dark mother, the one who applies to your situation. I chose Kali 
- Ma, as she is the protector of women and children. I also feel strongly 
bonded to her. Know your choice of deity! Study her/him.

Find a special spot, preferably outdoors, because you will burn the paper. 
Write down all your hurt, and pain, and difficulties. ( sadness, loneliness 
... what ever you are feeling) You might even write a letter to the 
individual(s) who made you feel this way. 

Open your circle, light your candles(s) and speak to the spirit, ask to be 
free of the burdens you are feeling. use rhyme if you need to, or if you are 
like me and are no good at such things , just talk.  

Burn the paper with the writing on it

As it burns, thank the spirit for the taking these burdens from you and 
giving you peace. thank her for the gifts you know you will receive. 

Imagine yourself free of your troubles. Imagine yourself enveloped by the 
goddess' strength and protection. 

Close your circle, and bury or scatter the ashes of the paper. Allow the 
candle to burn itself out.



Take from this what you need and suits your own needs. I hope it is as 
helpful to you as it was to me.

peace love and light,
Tracy F.
