You will need:
- 3 black candles
- 3 white candles
- cedar chips
- rose petals
- catnip
- cinnamon
Go outside, somewhere where you can feel the air, and open a circle. Kneel in the middle of the circle facing east. Place the candles in a semicircle in front of you, and light each one. On a fire proof plate, start a small fire of cedar chips. Sprinkle rose petals, catnip, and cinnamon in the fire while saying:
Earth and fire, water and air
Hear my prayer, hear my prayer
Take this depression,
Take it away
Give me the strength
To face a new day.
When the fire dies down, splash a little blessed water on the fire. Take the wet ashes, and throw them as far from you as you can and say:
With these ashes go my pain,
From the healing fires,
New strength regained.
Thank the elements for hearing you, and close the circle.
