Griselda's Grimoire

Banish Past Sorrows Spell
There are times when our past mistakes and fractured hopes
impinge on our present and make us feel low and depressed. This
occasional feeling keeps us from realizing our full joy and
happiness.
We often return again and again to the memories of broken
promises and our various disappointments. Instead of greeting each
new day as a moment of opportunity, our hearts remain stuck in
the past. It is possible to banish these sorrows.
Gather together paper, a quill pen, Doves Blood Ink and thin black
ribbon. After centering yourself, write your sorrows and broken
hopes on to the paper, using precise language. Roll the paper in a
tube and tie it with the ribbon, knotting it tightly.
Place the tied paper into a burning bowl. Light the paper and
chant:
“The ties of the past must vanish. With fire and knot I do banish.”
Chant until the paper and string are burned entirely to ash.
Gather the ashes and bury them in the earth.
