A Spell for Forgetting

Sometimes there are things we would much rather just forget, or at least put them out of our mind for a bit. Here’s a little spell to help with that.

Materials Needed:

  • Incense (Dragon’s blood is particularly good, or anything with an intense scent)
  • Incense holder to collect the ashes 
  • Basil, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Lavender,  Myrrh, Sage, any combination of herbs for cleansing and purification or self acceptance or banishing. (Optional, and use any, all, or none of these listed. This part is completely up to you)
  • Sea Salt or Black Salt (for banishing/purifying the thought you want to forget)

Steps:

  1. Burn the incense all the way down. Think of what you are trying to forget while you inhale the scent and watch the smoke drift about. Focus on this memory. Imagine parts of the memory falling away or being destroyed as the ashes fall onto the incense holder.
  2. Once you have this collection of ashes, in a small bowl or mortar combine the ash with whatever herbs you decide to use and salt. Mix or ground until well combined.
  3. Step outside with the bowl of ash herbs and salt, and pour it into your hand. This is what is left of your memory. Blow the ashes away, and in doing so, imagine the ashes taking that memory with them as they scatter to the wind.
