Here’s a simple Samhain ritual for honoring ancestors and releasing what no longer serves you. Samhain (October 31 to November 1) is traditionally the thinnest veil between worlds, so it’s a good time for remembrance and release.
Samhain Ancestor Honoring & Release Spell
You’ll need:
One black candle (for release and protection)
One white or orange candle (for ancestral light)
A small dish of salt
During a full moon, stand outside under the moonlight. (you do not need to visually “see” the moon it doesn’t matter - what matters is the energy)
Have a bowl of consecrated water, some crushed rose petals, a pinch of salt, a protection incense and a pen.
Bless the water, add the rose petals and salt to the bowl. Burn the incense.
Sprinkle the pen with the water and repeat three times…
“Ink so black as the night sea, blessed be and blessed times three. By moonlight’s energy I speak these words, three times spoken, their power heard. Serve me well, serve only me, through good and bad, whatever may be. By ink and moon, by night and light, so mote it be and be done right!”
Now you have a magickal pen to use in your practice.
Channel Your Inner Light 🔥
Sometimes we lose sight of our own light. We forget that we are powerful and capable human beings. We question ourselves, mumble instead of speaking up, or let fear rule our decisions.
This spell is designed to remind you that confidence isn’t something you have to search for… it’s something you already ARE. All you have to do is turn it on.💖😉
YOU WILL NEED
One yellow or gold candle
Confidence-blend oil (or any carrier oil with one or more of the following added):
I've never been one for spells, but I understand the desire for a confidence boost. I remember standing in front of a class, my voice shaking, wishing for anything to calm my nerves. Over time, I learned confidence comes from practice and self-compassion, not magic. As a PhD student who works part-time at Last-Minute Assignments, I still remind myself of that. I was so anxious I'd search for assignment editing help just to feel prepared. This post is a reminder that the power is often within us. Cheers.
I love this!
