Bursting Bubbles Spell

This spell can be cast at any time. Use caution, as always, when working with fire. You will need:

a pen (Use one with with green or purple ink, if possible.) a piece of white paper a green or purple candle a fireproof container a stick of incense (If possible, use cedar, copal, dragon's blood, frankincense, myrrh, patchouli, or sandalwood.) a sheet of bubble wrap (Bubble wrap can be found in office supply stores and where packing and shipping supplies are sold. You could even use a sheet that came wrapped around something you purchased.) a vessel of water for fire safety

Preparation

Identify all the personal issues that you need to release, and write them down. Take your time with this, in order to be thorough. It's fine if you take days, or even weeks, to accomplish this part of the spell. As you write, phrase your issues in this manner: my bitterness, my envy, my anger, my pessimism, my unrealistic optimism, my feelings of guilt, my tendency to blame others, my tendency to blame myself for things that are not my fault, or whatever may apply in your case.

When your list is complete, count the number of items on it. You will need one bubble for each item, so be sure that you have enough bubble wrap for this. Trim the sheet until it has exactly the required number of bubbles. If you have more items than bubbles on the sheet, use a second sheet and trim that one as needed.

The Spell

Gather the spell materials. Put the fireproof container on your altar or other working surface on something that will not scorch if its bottom gets hot. Put the water near it, and open a window.

Light the candle, then light the incense from the candle. Get into a magickal mood, and create sacred space around the area where you will be working. Read your list (aloud or in your mind), focusing on each item for a few moments. Imagine each issue as a dark bubble in your spirit. Picture the dark bubbles swirling chaotically inside you, and concentrate on your desire to be rid of them.

Raise power. Visualize the bubbles quieting down and lining up for departure. Pick up the bubble wrap. Work your way through the list, saying for each item:

I release _____________. Go forth.

Do no harm, and never return to me.

As you say this, pop one bubble on the wrap. Visualize that dark bubble leaving you to burst harmlessly in the air over the incense or the candle. Picture the bubble's energy being carried away with the smoke. Continue this way until you have finished your list. You should feel relieved, feel lightened, and be energized by this process.

As you did in childhood, fold the paper into a fan. Use it to waft the smoke toward the open window. Visualize everything that you have released floating out of the window and away from you. When you feel that this has been done, touch the paper to the candle flame and drop it, blazing, into the fireproof container.

Remain there until everything has finished burning, then ground power and clean up.
