Is something or someone blocking your flow of financial abundance? Do the same money troubles keep reappearing? Before proceeding with a prosperity ritual, banish your roadblocks to success. It is important to note that banishing financial troubles does not make money come to you; instead, it clears the roadblocks that prevent money from flowing to you. Think of banishing rituals as pulling the harmful weeds from your garden of life. Banishing rituals remove the negative influences that allow your life, along with all things "planted" within it to thrive. And just like any garden, you must still put in the physical work to harvest your bounty. You must nourish your personal growth. Expand your skillset. Learn prosperity-drawing rituals, and develop self-disciple to reflect the financial harvest you wish to experience. In this present moment, you must banish the prosperity-robbing weeds to allow your finances to thrive.
Financial Roadblock Banishing Ritual Set Includes:
All Roots, Herbs, and Ritual Blends are packaged in thick glass 2 oz jars. The color, jar style, and closure may vary.
In addition to this Ritual Kit, you will need:
A solid, fire-proof surface such as a piece of slate or a thick metal tray
4" x 4" square paper
Matches or lighter
1 teaspoon of oil (olive oil is preferred)
Very small saucer, such as a soy sauce dish
Very small paintbrush or small matchstick-size branch
Ritual Instructions
The Financial Roadblock Banishing Ritual is most powerful when performed on the Dark Moon or during the 6 days leading up to it. This ritual takes less than an hour to perform, including the candle burning time. Please plan accordingly.
Step 1: In the small saucer, mix 1 teaspoon of oil with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of Alkanet Root Powder. This creates a beautiful ink-like substance that will be used to write your statement.
Step 2: Spend some time thinking about specific things you would like to banish from your life. It's best to be specific with what you would like to banish and form the banishment desire into a concrete statement.
Good Examples:
"All roadblocks that are preventing me from obtaining a home loan are now banished and permanently removed."
"I now remove and permanently banish all roadblocks that prevent me from obtaining a well-paying job as a {job title}"
"I now banish all physical and energetic influences that are preventing me from obtaining XYZ"
Bad Examples:
"I don't want to be poor."
"I banish all poverty/scarcity/etc."
"I need a car. Please give a car."
"I want to be rich."
This affirmative banishment statement is now your ritual mantra. Step 3: Using the Alkanet Ink (from Step 1) and a small brush or stick, write what you would like to banish on the piece of paper. If all that which you wish to banish is longer (or more detailed) than your ritual mantra, simply write it all out on the piece of paper. Be mindful of not using too much of the Alkanet Ink -- more is not better.
Step 4: Holding 4 Old World Ritual Candles between the palms of your hands, read the ritual mantra under your breath. Pure beeswax absorbs and expands energy incredibly well - this is a crucial step of the ritual. Take your time sending energy and intent into the candles. Holding the candles over the statement paper, dust the 4 candles evenly with the Banishing Ritual Blend.
Step 5:Create a Candle Braid. Gather the four Ritual Candles in your hand, make sure they are lined up evenly. While holding both ends of the candles, gently begin to twist in opposite directions. The motion is similar to wringing out wet laundry. The bottoms (or legs) of the candles should then be untwisted for the last 1/2-1 inch of the candles. Spread each of the candle legs to 4 opposing sides, forming a self-contained base. Don't worry, this is easy! The Old World Ritual Candles are very flexible! If you mess up, try again using the same candles.
This action does two things: 1) It acts as a self-contained candle holder. 2) It activates an energetic center which allows the banishment to distribute through the four directions (North, South, East, West), thus surrounding you. This is a very important part of the ritual. Although the candle legs and the magnetic directions do not need to line up, they must all be pointing in different directions. Step 6: Place the twisted candles directly on top of the statement paper. With a strong will-power and determination in your voice, exclaim:
"As I light this candle, I now banish {your ritual mantra}. "
Light the candles and watch the intricacy of the multiple dancing flames unfold. Spend a few minutes in meditation. Imagine that as the candles burn, so too do all the roadblocks things in your life.
Step 7: Watch the flames of all 4 candles closely. Are the candles hissing or popping? Are the flames dancing, or are they moderately still? Did one or more flames extinguish? Were any of the flames re-lit by the neighboring flame?
Hissing/popping, dancing, and extinguishing candles indicate energetic interference and stagnation. If there is energetic interference, more banishing work will need to be done! Repeat the Banishing Ritual again the following night. Please do not repeat the ritual the same night. You must allow the energies around you to settle and potentially naturally dissipate.
What you want to see is a fairly still, smooth burn, particularly towards the end of the ritual. This is your green light of everything working in your favor. Do not physically manipulate the candle to burn one way or another. Remember, the candle is a physical representation of the energies around you. You want it to accurately show you that which you may not be able to see for yourself.
Allow the candles to burn all the way down to the statement paper. More often than not, the candles will extinguish themselves in their own puddle of wax on the statement paper. Stay put the remainder of the burn, do not leave this ritual unattended. If the flame catches the paper on fire, simply blow it out.
The Old World Ritual Candles burn between 20 minutes and 45 minutes, depending on the temperature in the room, the amount of ritual blend used, possible drafts, and of course, the energetic intensity of your spellwork.
Step 8: When the candles extinguish (usually the flame is extinguished its own puddle of wax), you will be left with a wax-covered statement paper. You must dispose of the residual energies by properly disposing of the ritual remnants. You may toss the contents on an active railroad track, or throw in the middle of an intersection. The moving energies of both modalities will facilitate with removing blockages and end stagnation.
Step 9: Upon returning home, light the Juniper smudge bundle and walk clockwise around your home, allowing the smoke to drift over each corner of your home. Pay special attention to mirrors, windows, doors, and all reflective surfaces. The smudge does not need to be burned entirely during each session. Burn and extinguish as needed. Carefully move the smoking smudge bundle slowly over your body (do not let it touch your body or your clothes), letting the soft smoke envelop you. To put out the smudge bundle, press the lit end firmly into a fire-proof bowl until wholly extinguished.
The Moon is of key importance for the Old World Witch. The Moon and its cycle (increase and decrease) impact the potency of rituals and their successes. The Moon amplifies rituals and works in harmony with the energies exerted by the Witch.
As Old World Witches, we utilize elemental forces for magick and mystical significance of the natural world and its fauna and flora: Esoteric knowledge. Lore of healing. Energetic resonance of herbs and roots. And, of course, the Moon.
The Old World Witch does not follow the exact terminology and specifications of modern astrologers and astronomers. We maintain the visual interpretation and energies of the Moon, as explained below.
When the Moon cannot be seen and is in the dark phase, it is referred to as the Dark Moon in Old World Witchcraft. Modern astronomers and astrologers call this darkness the New Moon because the cycle of the Moon is about to restart.
Old World Witches are not the only ones who follow this Dark Moon terminology. Several ancient cultures (such as Islam) define this period as the end of the month and the very first crescent of the Moon (Witch's New Moon) as the beginning of the month.
The Witch's Dark Moon is a night of stillness, contemplation, and banishment. The only types of rituals that should be done on the Dark Moon are banishment work or curses/hexes. The Dark Moon is also ideal for all kinds of divination and working with the departed.
The Moon is energetically at its lowest point and is more conducive to the mentioned rituals.
Witch's New Moon (first crescent)
The New Moon of the Old World Witch is called the Witch's New Moon. It is when the very first crescent or sliver of the Moon is visible. This is typically 2-3 nights after the Dark Moon.
With some variations, the Witch's New Moon rises in the daytime before noon and becomes visible in the day sky. It will be most visible at sunset and usually sets well before midnight. The Witch's New Moon is the same percentage all over the world - both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. However, the tips of the Witch's New Moon point depend on the time, date, and location on Earth.
The Witch's New Moon is the ideal time to begin rituals that draw a life experience, physical possession, or situation to you. This can be for love, money, health, or personal development.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. Starting rituals three nights after the Dark Moon will give you exactly 12 days of rituals leading up to the Full Moon.
The Witch's New Moon is also the ideal time to begin a new venture, get married, apply for a job, or embark on a journey.
The same energetic attributes apply throughout the Waxing Moon, all the way up to the Full Moon.
Full Moon
The Full Moon is not only the most magickally potent and powerful time of the month, but it is also the most physically stimulating. As the Moon affects the ocean tides, so too does it affect our bodies. If you pay close attention to your body, you may have noticed that you may feel extra swollen or puffy on the mornings leading up to the full Moon and a couple of days thereafter. These are the days of maxi dresses, undereye concealer, and perhaps an inclination to wear fewer rings on your fingers.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. If you have been performing rituals leading up to the Full Moon, consider the night of the Full Moon the climax of your ritual.
The Full Moon signifies the cultivation of goals, the peak of a cycle, and emotional fulfillment. The Full Moon is best used to draw something into your life, such as love, financial prosperity, or self-development.
If, however, you are choosing not to perform any magick on the night of the Full Moon, simply sitting under the moon rays and energetically absorbing the magnetism will reawaken and revitalize your spirit.
Waning Moon
As the Moon wanes, the energy becomes particularly useful for ending various relationships, habits and overcoming hurdles.
Whether you're having a difficult time leaving an unsuitable relationship or are trying to eliminate negative self-talk, the Waning Moon is perfectly capable and willing to help phase out what is no longer needed or wanted.
In addition to removing negative influences from your life, this is also an appropriate time to cast revenge spells (curses).
The Waning Moon reminds us of things yet to be done and that time is slipping away. Anxiety is usually heightened during this time; therefore, self-care is critical.
