Minimalism & Spring Cleaning Spell

It’s that time of year again, spring cleaning! I am trying to go though all of my possessions and only keep what serves a purpose. I have trouble with sentimental attachment, the fear of needing something later, and giving away something I perceive as valuable, so I decided to create a spell to help my spring cleaning effort.  

You will need: 
1. White salt2. Jar3. White paper4. Black pen5. Black embroidery thread (or other black string)6. White candle (birthday candle, tea light, etc.)7. Scissors (maybe)

Design a sigil that matches your intent. Create a circle of protection around your space, if that is part of your practice. Light the candle and think about what it would look like to have a clean space and what it would feel like to rid yourself of all those things that no longer serve you. 

Write your sigil using the black pen on the white paper. If necessary, cut the paper down to size so it will fit in your jar. Fill the jar with a tiny bit of salt. Add the sigil paper. Fill it the rest of the way with salt so that you no longer see the paper. Now say aloud or in your head: 

Air, water, flame, and stone, 
Set me free from things I own.
Show me which with purpose for, 
Haste the rest leave out the door. 

End the spell with the spell ending of your choice. 

Insert the cork. Extinguish your candle as you see fit. Seal the top with the melted wax. Add a black cord so you can hang it in whatever room you are working on sorting through. 

Now go sort through all your things! Hopefully you find it easier to detach yourself from the things you own so you can only keep what truly serves you and find the airy freedom that comes with an uncluttered living space.
