"I'm Not What I've Done, I'm What I've Overcome" Feedback?

Post by valerian moon »

Hopefully the formatting doesn't throw anybody off. I'm looking for feedback on this.

Should be done on a New Moon and should be done in a space where you can burn herbs and paper.
NEEDED:
black/purple candle (relief of hurt)
white candle (Goddess, protection, cleansing)
orange candle/blue (mental clarity for orange, emotional clearance for blue)
lemon balm/rosemary/thyme (burn for healing)
paper and pen (preferably orange or black ink, but whatever pen or pencil you have on hand will work)
fire safe offering bowl
one of those long lighters that people use for grilling outdoors (so you don't burn your phalanges)
(phalanges are fingers)

INSTRUCTIONS:

before starting the spell, say:
"I am not what I have done, I'm what I've overcome"
prepare by setting up your altar, placing the black/purple candle and white candle on opposite sides of the altar and the orange/blue candle in the middle and the offering bowl directly in front of you.
take the paper and pen, write down what you're depressed about, write down your troubles. place it in the bowl, along with the lemon balm/rosemary/thyme.
light the candles and chant:
"Goddess blessed with love and light,
help me on this new moon night,
all my life I've had to fight,
I'm letting in your love and light."
Burn the piece of paper and herbs, (do NOT burn your fingers PLEASE)
snuff out the candles and thank the Goddess for her help in whatever way you see fit.
release the ashes into a body of running water (lakes, ponds, etc. a sink will work, but make sure there are no chunks when you put it into the sink)
meditate on your new life without depression
You may call me Valerian Moon, or simply Val.

I actually REALLY love this, and cannot think of any other feedback aside from that. If you don't mind, I would love to copy this into my own book of shadows. I've been working incredibly hard to overcome depression and I love this.

I wrote it specifically for the new moon, that's why it's such perfect timing
