Fire Element- Banishing Ritual

Banishing rituals are often used to drive away any negative energy, toxic people, and unhealthy attachments or habits. When we fall into fire season on the zodiac calendar, it’s a great time to tap into this fiery element to purge what no longer serves you, and a banishing ritual can do just that!

YOU WILL NEED

• A black candle
• Pen and paper
• Banishing oil (I have a recipe below!)
• A fireproof container containing banishing herbs such as sage, rosemary, or eucalyptus
• A large bowl of sand for putting out the fire

1. Light your black candle.

Light your candle, and then take this time to write on a piece of paper what you wish to banish. Make sure to picture it while adding 1 drop of banishing oil to the paper.

2. Firmly tell it aloud to go away and never come back.

3. Set the paper alight and drop it into the container.

4.) Visualize what you’re banishing, disappearing from your life, and releasing you from its influence.

5.) When the ashes have cooled, dispose of them away from your home.

It’s a good idea to do a white light protection visualization after banishing ritual to prevent negative energy from reattaching to you. Let me know in the comments if you tried this out! Always keep in mind can do these rituals with your own personal touch. So tweak where you see fit, and know that you have the power to do anything you set your intention to.
