FULL MOON RITUAL | Esbat Magick
Full Moon Release Ritual
What you need: pen, paper, matches, candle, small bowl,
fire safe vessel, water, journal
Weather permitting, do this outside under the Full Moon so that you may ground and center directly with the Moon's energies.
If you cannot be outside, find a quiet space indoors.
Breathe in deeply 3 times and ground and center yourself. Envision your root chakra connecting directly to the Earth's glowing red core and your crown chakra opening and receiving the Moon's illuminated silver energy.
Create a sacred space by physically cleaning and spiritually cleaning a quiet area where you will not be interrupted. Use the 4 elements to consecrate your space - Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
Light the candle and place it in between the small bowl and your fire safe vessel.
Fill the small bowl with water and consecrate it.
Write on the piece of paper all you wish to release from your life, what restricting behavior or habits you want to be free from and all low vibration energies within your environment that does not serve your highest good that you want to cast out. You can also draw a banishing pentagram. Once you have finished your list, sign and date it.
Breathe deeply again, focusing on your heart chakra and say out loud “I now let this go. By my words I make it so.”
Light a corner of the paper with the lit candle. Place it in the fire safe vessel and watch as the flames engulf and consume what you are releasing. Watch the smoke carry your intentions into the Universe to become manifest. Pay close attention to the strength of the burning flame. If your piece of paper struggles to light or burn, you may not really be ready to let go of what you have written. Your intention must match your petition. The faster and stronger the flames, the more willing you are to let it go.
Then place your hands in the bowl of consecrated water symbolizing the cleansing of the old and leaving you refreshed and renewed.
Remove your hands from the water and take a deep breath. Sit in silence for and envision all that you have written on your petition going up in flames and being carried away by the air. Allow your candle to burn for as long as you are moved to. Snuff it out (do not blow it out) if needed.
Write in your journal how you felt before the ritual, during and how you felt afterwards. Journal what you saw, heard, felt and smelled as the petition burned. Write what you saw while you meditated and if you saw anything in the candle flame. Keep this so that you can go back and review your transformation over time and celebrate the release of all that no longer serves your highest good.
