Spell of the Cleansing River
This spell is to be used to wash away bad
memories and cleanse the mind of sorrow and pain, thereby
preparing one to operate freely within a relationship. You must
obtain two bowls of water from a river or stream and a small,
smooth stone from its bed. The bowls should be of equal size
and each half-full.
A solitary
candle should be lighted and the bowls placed on either side of
it. Hold the stone in your left hand (Note: Do not touch the
stone with your right hand again until instructed to do so).
Bring to mind those memories you wish to be diminished and
finally swept away. With your left hand, the stone need be
passed through the candle's flame whilst the following words
are spoken aloud:
Into thee my
memories pass, sorrow, pain and fear
And with thy washing clean
Be made to disappear.
Place the stone
in the bowl to your left and rub the stone as if cleaning it,
using only your left hand. Remove the stone and repeat the
following invocation:
Spirit of the
River, as with this stone
So, cleanse my mind and make my memory smooth
Allow life to pass as the water of thy river
Passes over the tumbling stone until it tumbles no more
But rests and settles
Freed from the current.
Move the stone
to your right hand and place it in the bowl of water to your
right. Allow the stone to lie at the bottom of the bowl. With
your right hand, gently swirl the water in the bowl. When the
water stops moving, extinguish the candle, remove the stone
from the bowl using your right hand, place it on a piece of
clean, fine cloth and allow it to dry in the air. When
thoroughly dry, the stone should be placed under your pillow
whilst you sleep. This practice should continue until your
memories have faded sufficiently to suit
you.
