Materials

  • 1 black taper candle
  • 1 unused saucer
  • Enough coarse salt to cover the saucer's base
  • 1 toothpick

Method

  1. Using the toothpick, inscribe the thing you wish to banish from your life on the candle, working from the base towards the wick; the original examples include anxiety, stagnation and discord.
  2. Cover the saucer with a generous layer of coarse salt.
  3. Secure the black candle in the centre of the saucer, on top of the salt.
  4. Light the candle and visualise the heavy energy being consumed by the flame and neutralised by the salt. Once the candle has completely burned, wrap all the remains, including the salt, in a dark bag and discard it outside your property.
