Mabon, the autumn equinox, is a time of balance, gratitude, and transformation—a moment when we can harness the potent energies of the equinox to bring about positive change in our lives. This article guides you through a powerful spell that captures the essence of Mabon’s magic, inviting you to embrace the equinox with intention and wonder.
Spell: Mabon Release and Renewal
Tools
- 1 heat-safe container
Supplies
- 1 piece paper (or parchment)
- 1 piece string or ribbon
- 1 candle white or black
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by finding a quiet, sacred space where you feel safe and at peace.
- Light your white or black candle, allowing its flickering flame to symbolize the release of negativity and the embrace of positive change. Let the gentle glow of the candlelight illuminate your intentions.
Writing Your Intentions
- Take your piece of paper and your favorite pen—this paper will serve as your canvas for transformation.
- On the paper, write down the negative energies, habits, or situations that have been weighing on your spirit. Be honest and specific, allowing your emotions to pour onto the paper as if you’re crafting a powerful potion in your cauldron.
Burning the Paper
- Hold the paper in your hands, focusing on the negative energies you wish to release. Visualize these energies transferring onto the paper, much like ink soaking into parchment.
- When you feel ready, ignite the edge of the paper using the candle’s flame, and place it in a heat-safe container as it burns. Watch as the fire consumes your words, turning them into ashes. As the paper is reduced to ashes, imagine the negative energies dissolving and dissipating from your life, like the dispersal of dark clouds after a storm.
Inviting Transformation
- With the past released, turn your attention to the future. On a new piece of paper, write down the qualities, habits, or changes you wish to welcome into your life. Picture these intentions taking root within you, growing strong and resilient like seeds in fertile soil.
Creating the Talisman
- Carefully fold the paper containing your intentions, binding it with a piece of string or ribbon. This talisman serves as a tangible reminder of your journey toward positive change, a charm that carries your intentions with you wherever you go.
Sealing the Spell
- Hold your talisman close, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Visualize yourself standing at the threshold of transformation, ready to embrace the change you’ve set in motion.
- As you breathe out, extinguish the candle’s flame, sealing your spell with the knowledge that you have set the wheels of transformation in motion. Feel the energy of renewal coursing through you, like a warm breeze on an autumn day.
