Spell: "I Release You"

"I Release You"

Components:

Photo, drawing, or representation of the individual
Candle (one white as a minimum, a white and black is better)
Bowl
Marker, pen, chalk, or other marking tool.

Ritual:

1. Create a sacred space. Call upon any gods, guides or powers you would invoke for a spell of separation.

2. Prepare yourself mentally & emotionally for doing magic

3. Take the photo, and mark it with the rune: Nauthiz

4. Recite the following:

*Name*, I have bound you.
I have limited you.
I have restrained you.
I have been wrong.

5. Use the reiki mental/emotional symbol (Se He Ki), pass it through all the chakras. Recite:

I unlock the bonds.
I open my eyes.
I see you as you are.

6. Use the reiki distance symbol, connect to the person and send the mental/emotional symbol (Se He Ki) and the breaking of addictions symbol (Iava) across the bridge. Recite:

*Name*, I release you.
I release you from my expectations.
I release you from my needs.
I release you from my demands.
I set you free.

7. Empower the picture or representation with (Iava) and hold it over the candle flame. Once lit, drop into bowl. Recite:

*Powers/Gods/Spirits/Guides*, empower this spell.
Heal the wounds I have inflicted upon *Name* and myself.
Help me to accept *Name* as (he/she) is.
Help me to find joy in our present, free of the future and clear of the past.
As this image is consumed, consume my greed, my jealousy, my pride.

8. Once the image is gone, take time to ground out the negativity that may have come up during ritual. Use the Karuna grounding symbol if you know it.

9. When you are grounded and feeling clear, seal your chakras with the mental/emotional symbol.

10. Place an Algiz over yourself and empower it. Recite:

I protect myself from expectation.
I stay clear of illusion.
I fulfill my own needs.

11. Bring the ritual to a close as appropriate for the gods/guides/spirits you called.

12. Each day for the next 7 days, charge yourself in the morning with the mental/emotional symbol and recite:

I live free of expectation.
I accept the world as it is.

Simple spell, but if done with right intention, it should be quite profound.

It is important to note that you can not use this spell to cut yourself off from another's expectations, needs or desires. This is a spell specifically designed to free yourself and another of YOUR inappropriate, deluded, or misguided expectations and desires.
