The Full Moon Cathartic Release
I am a witch. I don't really like that word much. I also strongly dislike the word n*gger because they have both been used to belittle and maim people who fit in certain categories. Yet, I can't deny that as I was spiritually led through this ritual I'd never done before, that I am, in fact, what many would call a witch. I use energy in different ways to improve my life and the lives of others. For this reason, I'm taking back my power from the negative connotation it carries. If it scares someone off, good, BOO!
The creation of this cleansing ritual began as I was lying in bed today, eating pizza and watching "Tom and Jerry". As I giggled at ridiculousness after a day of being way too deep in my adult feelings, I realized I had unknowingly slipped into a mild, active depression over the last few weeks. It was 2 in the afternoon and I hadn't even left my room. This was not my normal energy at all. I popped up dramatically because I am a Leo, and there's no other way I can pop up. I gathered all my nerdy supplies and started to come up with a plan. As I thought about all the things that could be making me feel sad, I thought, 'Damn, I really am happiest when I'm alone with God. Unless you're sending me a copy of you, Lord, just let me be with you in peace because it seems like regular people only want me around to benefit from my energy." That started the waterworks.
This month's Full Moon in Aries hits at the 14th degree. This means it was sending release energy towards the physical body, identity, and, because of the degree, all things second house and Taurus. This energy was hitting everyone's root and sacral chakras. What a great opportunity to clear out whatever funk this!
I am a fire sign girlie and I never miss a chance to light some shit up. That's probably problematic, but I've discovered a safe place to use this unique characteristic of mine. Every full moon, I set shit on fire. I love candle work. On this particular occasion, that was not an option. I had to be clever. Earth was the next option because of the Taurus energy, but that would have required me to go outside, and I didn't even want to leave the bedroom, let alone touch some freaking grass. It then occurred to me to use planetary magic; the moon is a water element. One of the first forms of healing work I ever did included transmuting my negative feelings through a cup of water. Water holds all the emotions you carry from this life and others, not only yours but those that came before you. A cathartic release, a deep purge, could be done in alignment with this moon. My soul knew this was just what I needed!
The RITUAL:
Step one: Set the tone. I chose a negative energy release frequency to play in the background. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/I_FpVaV1pHc?si=6Gj7W-bMn5A9aMMn
Step two- I grabbed a pen and paper, then wrote out all the blocks I wanted to let go of until my hand physically hurt. I licked my thumb and left a print at the bottom of it along with my signature. I don't do blood; DNA is in saliva, too. It is just as binding as blood when you're doing work on yourself.
Step Three: I filled a glass with water, grabbed my self-improvement jar that I had been working on for the last 90 days, and my paper. Next, I grabbed my cleansing and road-opening incense along with some selenite, all great for releasing and clearing.
Step four: After everything was set up and my incense was burning, I began by rubbing my hands together to create a buzz with my kinetic energy. Your kinetic energy is your power to move things. In this case, I focused on all the negative energy I wanted to move out of my nervous system and into this glass of water that was being used as a conduit. I then placed my hands on the water and read what I had written out loud with all the emotion I had in my body.
Step 5: I was doing all of this in front of my bathroom mirror and suddenly became inspired to spin counter-clockwise 9 times while saying "I undo all the negativity that's been spun". After this, I flushed the water and what I had written down the toilet. Release.
Step 6- I went back to the mirror and spun three times clockwise, saying, " I now open my new road". I smudged myself with the incense and cleared my field with the selenite.
Step 7- I released my jar in the tub by running hot water through it until it was completely clear, as I repeated, "I release what no longer serves".
Step 8- I took a bath with milk and honey, washed myself from head to toe (hair included), and then washed again with a coconut-based cleanser at the end. Milk and honey attract abundance, and coconut restores your destiny. When you release, you always need to make sure you balance it with what you want to bring in.
Step 9- I smudged again when I got out, listened to some gospel music, and prayed. The song I picked was "I Give Myself Away" by William McDowell.
THE RESULTS:
When I got done, the craziest thing happened. Not only did I feel 1000% better, but a song started playing in my mind. "Vision of Love" by Mariah Carey. I started playing it on my TV since my gospel music was playing from my phone. At that same moment, I got an email.
A whole witch. This full moon in Aries also rules your personal power. In my chart, it only triggered one thing directly, my asteroid breide (#19029). The marker for what kind of wife you'll be or the kind you'll have, depending on your situation. I look forward to writing a blog about my amazing love story that will inspire others one day.
