POSTED UNDER Earth

Burying Your Troubles

Color of the day:  Yellow
Incense of the day:  Honeysuckle
 

This is a cleansing rite utilizing the grounding power of Taurus. You will need:

  • A red pen or marker
  • Paper strips, white
  • A piece of white cloth, about 1 foot square (I like to use unbleached, natural cloth since this is going into the earth.)
  • Frankincense and myrrh resin, equal parts
  • White string
  • Incense charcoal and burner
  • Matches or lighter
  • A shovel or spade

Using a red pen or marker, write on your paper strips all the things you'd like to release or be cleansed of. Each strip should have only one item. These might be deep issues you'd like to finally release, or current illnesses, or even influences from an enemy. Place each strip onto the middle of the white cloth. When you're finished, add a pinch of your frankincense and myrrh resin, then gather the cloth around the paper strips and tie into a bundle using the string.

Find an area outside where it's safe for you to dig a hole big enough for the bundle. Light your charcoal and add the frankincense and myrrh mixture. Dig your hole, then drop the bundle inside. Spit three times onto the bundle, then cover completely with dirt.
