Wash away a curse

This spell is also listed elsewhere on the site, but its perfectly suited for this page too. It's a bit more elaborate than some other spells. You will need:

• 12 white candles • 1 black or dark purple candle • 1 cup of coarse salt • 1 tbs lavender blossoms • 1 tbs white sage (not green) • 1 tbs chamomile

You can be liberal with the herbs, as long as they are in roughly the same proportions.

Perform this spell on the night after a full moon for the best results. On your altar (or right in the bathroom) make a circle with the 12 white candles. Put the black one in the middle. Don't light them just yet.

Run a hot bath, and add the salt and the herbs. Now light the candles and get in the bath. Get comfortable and repeat the following: ''By the light of moon's wane Cleanse my soul of this stain Let the spell be reverse Lift away this dark curse As I enter sacred space Return my soul to grace'' Pour some of the bathwater over your head (keep your eyes closed!). Do this 3 times, and say the rest of the words each time: ''I forgive what was done Let the spell be undone'' Stay in the bath until the water begins to cool off. When you get out, snuff out the candles but leave them in their circle. For the next 3 nights, relight them all and repeat the second part of the chant. After the 3rd night, relight the black candle and let it burn all the way out (if it's not already finished).
