RITUAL OF FAREWELL AND RELEASE OF SPITE

Healing with the Sweetness of Beeswax

Sometimes, the heart needs to let go in order to heal. When a relationship comes to an end or we are still emotionally attached to someone who is no longer in our life, we can feel burdened with emotions that prevent us from moving forward. If you feel like you need to let go and release the pain, this Ritual of Farewell and Release of Heartbreak is perfect for you.

In this ritual, you will use a beeswax candle. Beeswax is known for its ability to bring emotional and mental clarity, making it an ideal element for healing and release rituals.

Materials for the Ritual:

• 1 beeswax candle ( available in my store )
• A photo of the person you want to leave behind or a piece of paper with their name written on it
• Red cotton thread (to represent the bond you want to break)
• Dried bay leaves (symbol of victory and liberation)
• A fireproof bowl (for safe burning)
• Sea salt (for energetic cleansing)
• Optional: Rosemary or rue incense (to purify the environment)

Steps to perform the ritual:

1. Prepare your sacred space: Choose a quiet place and purify the space by scattering some sea salt in the corners of the room. If you have incense, light it to raise the vibration of the room and help you focus on the process. Do the ritual in semi-darkness, if possible.
2. Light the beeswax candle: As you light the candle, feel the warmth and light that it emanates. This flame will be your guide to transmute pain into healing. Let the light envelop you and connect you to your intention of release.
   Say out loud: “With this golden flame, I free my heart. I let go of pain, bonds, and all that no longer serves me. I allow healing to enter my life.”
3. Place the photo or paper with the person's name: The photo or paper with the name symbolizes the person you want to let go. Place it in front of you. This step represents the farewell you are about to say.
4. Wrap the red thread: Take the red thread and wrap the photo or paper. The thread represents the emotional bond that still ties you to that person. As you wrap it, say:
   “This bond that has kept me tied to you, today I cut it. Today I free myself from you and let you go, so that we both may find our peace.”
5. Burn the ribbon: Place the bay leaves on the photo or paper and carefully burn everything in the bowl. Watch the flames consume the red thread and visualize your heart being cleansed of any pain or attachment.
   Repeat: “What was, is no longer. What hurt, no longer hurts me. Today I free my heart and allow myself to heal. I make room for peace and self-love.”
6. Let the candle continue to burn and burn completely: The beeswax candle will continue to burn, bringing sweetness and serenity to your space. Meditate on the peace and release you feel as the candle continues to burn. Do not leave the candle unattended. If you have to leave the room, it is best to extinguish it (for safety). If you have time, write in your journal by the candlelight, do a tarot reading, or simply meditate. Take your time because what you are trying to accomplish is very important.
7. Close the ritual: Once the candle burns out and the ashes cool, take the remains and throw them away in a place where water runs (a river or the sea) or bury them in the ground to return the energy to nature. All the elements are natural (paper, cotton thread and wax) so you do not harm the environment. You do not have to do this right away, you can do it the next time you go out into nature. If it takes a few days, leave all the elements somewhere near an open window so that the energy can go away.

A new beginning

This ritual will help you close the emotional cycle and open yourself to new opportunities, both in love and in your personal life. The beeswax candles that I have in the store are the perfect complement for this type of energy work, since their purity and natural energy favor emotional healing.

I invite you to try it and experience the magic of releasing what no longer serves you. May you find the peace and self-love you deserve!
