Full Moon Rituals
RELEASE what you no longer need
The full moon is the best time to release anything you no longer need. This could be anything from lower energies from negative events that have recently happened, toxic people, and negative patterns you may have fallen into.
Let it go: A burn ritual
Things you will need for your ritual
- Pen and paper
- Candles: Black is always a good colour choice for this kind of ritual, but it is not essential!
- Lighter or matches
- Rosemary, if you have any, helps disperse negative energy. Sage is also good!
- A fire pit or fireproof dish. I have a handy little cauldron.
Make sure you are grounded, and you are not going to be disturbed. Light your candle and focus on the flame for a while. Think about things you feel you need to release or let go of. Focus on things like:
- Negative emotions
- Arguments you may have had
- Fears and worries
- Anything that has upset you
Start by writing, ‘I release from my life’, then write down what you want to let go of. You could either list things or write a letter.
Next, you need to burn the piece of paper in your fire pit or fireproof dish. Sprinkle rosemary (if using) on top as it burns. As you watch the smoke and the flames, feel whatever it is you want to release, leaving you.
When you are ready, blow out your candles. Do not leave a fire unattended.

I highly recommend the Pagan Portals books. Take a look here
For hedgeriding, I recommend Pagan Portals-Hedge Riding by Harmonia Saille. But do read her first book, Pagan Portals Hedge Witchcraft. Both books are beautifully written and easy to follow.
