You Will Need
1.Three bay leaves
2. Comfrey
3. A blackberry (Bramble) leaf (optional)
4. A small dish of moon water (sub purified water)
Preparation
If it is part of your practice, cast a circle. As you sit with your ingredients before you, centre yourself. Ground yourself in the present moment by focusing on your breath, the sensations of your body, and your connection to the earth.
Casting
Touch the bay leaves to your lips and speak the following aloud and with intent:
Bay leaf
Bringer of wisdom
Form true my intent
That I might not speak
Of pain that is spent
Place the bay leaves in the moon water and fix firm in your mind that is okay for you to discuss how you feel with others, but you should never use the pain you have felt to hurt yourself over again. The pain of the past has been felt, and by letting it go we revoke its permission to wound us.
Touch the comfrey to your forehead a. repeat the following aloud and with intent:
Comfrey
Herb of protection
Heal negative thought
I let go of pain
My aching has wrought
Place the comfrey in the moon water and fix firm in your mind that it is okay to release negative thoughts. You do not need to cling to the negative to be protected. Instead, let positivity for your future actions fill your mind so you can more effectively place the past behind you.
