Slowly blow out the flame of the candle and envision the magick being released
and swirling in the air on its journey out into the universe. Pick up the candle on

above, blowing out the flame, and envisioning the magick being released into the
universe. Close your circle.
Dispose of the ashes from your fireproof container. If you have a stream
nearby this would be the most ideal place to dump them, but you can also bury
them. If there are still pieces of herbs or resins that did not burn, bury it in a
location where you won’t be planting anything. Some people keep a small

balance. If you used amber gems, keep one in your pockets on each side of your
body to keep them balanced against one another. If you feel it is needed, you can
repeat this spell at the Autumnal Equinox as well.

pink for compassion, tenderness, harmony, affection, and love, too.) You will
also need a couple of fresh red and pink roses.
To prepare for the ritual, carefully peel each petal off of the roses and put them
into a large bowl. Next add the glitter and gently mix the two up a bit with your
hands. You don’t want to damage or bruise the rose petals and the glitter will
