Sweeping away doubt ritual
TOOLS A brush or broom to sweep
Sweeping has long been used both to clean and to symbolize brushing away negative energy or thoughts. In this ritual, you will sweep away self-doubt hindering you from achieving the success you desire.
Take your broom, and start to sweep your space—be sure to sweep from east to west, following the direction of the sun. While sweeping, visualize lingering self-doubt being swept up and away from your space. Say the incantation:
I sweep and sweep away the doubt, for it may hold me back no more. So mote it be.
When you have swept all the dust into one pile, throw it away. Perform this sweeping-away ritual periodically—weekly or fortnightly is best.
BEST TIME Waning Moon, New Moon
Reaching your goals knot spell
TOOLS Cord, an arm’s length (natural or color corresponding) | Any tokens relating to the goal you want to achieve
If you are working on something that you wish to succeed in, employ this knot spell to tie your intentions into knots, using the cord to focus on your goals.
Start by centering, grounding and casting a circle. Take the cord and tie a knot at one end. Then tie each new knot closer to you, representing your goal coming closer toward you. While tying each knot, say the incantation:
With this first knot, may I set the intent, to reach my goal of [say your goals].
With the second knot, I tie in the energy to draw to me [say your goals].
With the third knot, may it hold strong and fast, so mote it be.
In between each knot add any of the tokens you like and tie a loop at the end.
Sit with the cord, visualizing your goals becoming reality. Hang the cord above your altar or in a room that would be significant to your goal—a spot where you frequently see the cord and are reminded of your goals is most suitable.
BEST TIME Thursday, New Moon, Waxing Moon
