If you are bothered by an aspect of your personality that you would like to let go of, then take a new potato and a knife and carve the potato into an image that represents the aspect. At midnight, take the carving out into a forest or field and bury it in the ground. As you do, repeat these words:

With this image, I consign this aspect of myself to my mother the Earth. As this image returns to the earth, this aspect of my personality dissolves into my psyche and is transformed into new capabilities.
