A dear friend asked me for guidance on how to do a burn release for tonights full moon. So I drafted this simple ceremony. The full moon is the perfect time to let go of all that no longer serves your highest good. I hope this script helps you in whatever you choose to release tonight or in moons to come.
Sending you all love, xoxo T
P.S. If you have ever attended one of my Gather the Women Circles you will recognize the Fear Release ;)
Full Moon Sacred Burn Release
Drafted by Truly Medium
Before you Begin:
Please Please Please be CAREFUL when working with fire. Be extremely diligent and have water or a fire extinguisher available to put it out at any point. If you do not have a bon fire, you can use a caldron or a cast iron pot to burn your papers in. Again, be sure to be diligent in containing the heat and flame. I take no responsibility for what you do.
Gather and place any crystals, jewelry, water or items you wish to energetically clear and recharge with the moon energy in the sacred space BEFORE you start.
Bring a pen/pencil and note pad (possibly tissues) to help you release.
Know that you can/should personalize this how you see fit. This is just a guideline to get you started.
- Clear the Space & Acknowledgements
- Fear Release
- Amplifying Gratitude
- Clearing and Charging Items
- Closing & Acknowledgements
- Clear the Space & Acknowledgements
Gather around where the fire will be/is. Allow a moment of silent reflection to recognize the creation of a sacred space. Take at least 3 Belly Breaths to allow your body to acknowledge the change in energy.
Step forward and light the fire or just become more aware of an already lit flame.
Now is the time to throw loose dried sage leaves (cooking ones will do) into the fire or to pass around a sage stick to energetically clear the space.
Speak:
Land acknowledgement:
[Insert name of city/town] is located on the traditional territory of Indigenous peoples dating back countless generations. I want to show my respect for their contributions and recognize the role of treaty making in what is now Ontario. We wish to express gratitude to Mother Earth and for the resources we are using. We honour all the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who have been living on the land since time immemorial and give thanks to them.
Mother Moon, Goddess, Bringer of Light, thank you for your powerful blessings on this night. I invoke you into my being and soul, fill up this vessel and make it whole. I stand before you in awe and love, I cherish the gifts you send from above.
Sacred Flame Spirit, creator of heat and change, thank you for your presence and blessings on this night. I invoke you to bring forth all your magic. I stand in awe and love of your gifts.
- Fear Release
When fear overwhelms truth and love we call it pain. We have carried fear & pain for centuries in our cellular memory. These are barriers of love and wisdom. We all have fears. We all have pain, resentment, anger and hurt.
This is your opportunity to release and let the universe hear your request. Take a moment to get in touch with these feelings. Close your eyes and let your soul surrender to these feelings and emotions. (Breathe)
Let them be written. Allow them to bleed onto the paper. Write what you feel. Write what you cannot say. Write what needs to be released. Write what no longer serves a purpose. Write the burdens your heart carries.
(give a few minutes)
When you are ready, fold it up (accordion style burns best). Approach the fire & say:
Sacred Flame Spirit, I ask you to help me release and recycle this energy into a positive motion to help me move forward on my life path. I choose to let go of all that no longer serves my highest and greatest good.
Mother Moon I ask that you help me to ease the past so that I may grow into the future with grace and confidence.
Burn your list in the fire. Return to your seat.
- Amplifying Gratitude
Dear one, fear and love cannot exist in the same vibration/frequency.
Pick up your note pad again and write all you are thankful for. Write all things big and small. As you do you will begin to feel an energy shift. You will be standing in the vibration/energy of love and abundance.
When you feel it is complete, you can burn it releasing it to the universe as well or fold it up and put it in your wallet or tucked away in a special spot as a reminder.
If you choose to burn it fold it up (accordion style burns best). Approach the fire & say:
Sacred Flame Spirit, I ask you to help me amplify the love and gratitude on this paper. Help me release this magic into the universe.
Mother Moon I ask that you help me to create and disperse more love throughout my life there by affecting all the world.
- Clearing & Charging Items
Touch or place your hand over your crystals, jewelry, tools, water or items.
Say:
Mother Moon I ask you to help me release any stagnant energy that is present here. Release anything that no longer serves my highest good. I ask that you replace it with your light and love. So mote it be.
- Closing & Acknowledgements
With 3 belly breaths allow yourself to become centered.
Say:
Mother Moon, Goddess, Bringer of Light, thank you for your powerful blessings on this night. I stand before you in awe and love, I cherish the gifts you send from above.
Sacred Flame Spirit, creator of heat and change, thank you for sharing your magic tonight. I stand in love and awe of the gifts you have presented here.
Mother Earth thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow with you. I stand in love and gratitude for all you give.
As above so below, let in the light and let it grow. (Amen or ‘if it is for me, so mote it be’ or any other closing you see fit).
