Remove Bad Luck and Break a Curse

Ingredients:

• A small bowl of Epsom salt (for purification and clearing energy)

• Boiled lemon slices (for removing negative energy and inviting freshness)

• A handful of fresh mint leaves (for renewal, mental clarity, and a fresh start)

• Goat’s milk (or any milk, symbolizing nourishment and purity)

• A square of white cloth (to absorb and carry away negative energy)

Instructions:

1. Preparation and Setting Intention
   Begin by finding a quiet, calm space where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle or incense if desired, focusing on your intent to cleanse and release all negative energy. Hold the bowl and visualize it filling with purifying light.

2. Mixing the Ingredients
   In the bowl, combine the Epsom salt, boiled lemon slices, fresh mint leaves, and milk. Stir them slowly, infusing your intention with each ingredient. Imagine any darkness or heaviness within you dissolving as you create this cleansing blend.

3. Incantation for Preparation
   While stirring, say aloud or in your mind:
   “Salt of earth, purify; lemon’s light, clarify.
   Mint renews and milk restores, rid me of shadows evermore.”

4. Applying the Mixture
   Dip the white cloth into the bowl, soaking up the cleansing mixture. Gently squeeze out any excess liquid. Then, starting at the top of your head and moving downward, rub the cloth over your body (or the person’s body if performing this for someone else), focusing especially on areas that feel “heavy” or in need of release. Visualize the cloth absorbing all negative energy.

5. Spoken Release
   As you rub the mixture onto each area, recite:
   “Let all misfortune and harm be cleansed away,
   Through [insert deity, saint, or spirit of choice], I call on light to replace this weight.
   Where there was heaviness, let there be peace;
   Where there was darkness, let it cease.”

6. Closing Gesture and Burying the Cloth
   When finished, hold the cloth in your hands for a moment, visualizing it holding any remaining negative energy. Thank the ingredients for their assistance in the cleansing. Next, find a place far from your home where you can bury the cloth. Burying it releases any lingering negativity and removes it from your presence.

7. Final Words of Release
   As you bury the cloth, say:
   “Earth below and light above, I release this weight with love.
   Buried here, you shall decay; all ill intent now fades away.”

8. Completion
   Walk away without looking back, leaving behind any lingering negativity. As you return to your home, imagine yourself carrying the light and fresh energy of the cleansing with you.

Additional Tips:
This spell is most effective when performed during a waning moon, a time ideal for banishing and release. Repeat as needed whenever you feel the need to cleanse your energy or start fresh.

This cleansing spell uses symbolic ingredients and actions that harness natural properties to release negativity and restore a sense of peace and renewal. Each element serves a purpose, helping ground the spell in tangible, familiar actions that mimic the intended effect of magic through a sensory and physical experience.

Ingredients and Their Meanings

1. Epsom Salt: Epsom salt is traditionally used for purification and relaxation, making it ideal for releasing stress, tension, and negativity. Salt itself has a long history of being used in cleansing rituals across various cultures due to its reputed ability to absorb and neutralize unwanted energies. Its inclusion here sets the foundation for the spell as a ritual of purification and detoxification.

2. Boiled Lemon Slices: Lemon symbolizes clarity, freshness, and vitality. Its sharp, bright scent and acidic nature are thought to “cut through” negativity and invite a fresh start. By boiling the lemon slices, their essence is released more fully into the mixture, amplifying their purifying effect. Lemon’s bright, citrusy energy also brings a lightness to the ritual, symbolically “lifting” any lingering darkness.

3. Fresh Mint Leaves: Mint represents renewal, clarity, and mental freshness. Used for centuries in folk remedies, mint’s invigorating qualities are believed to drive away negative energy, promoting a sense of mental sharpness and a fresh start. Its scent refreshes the mind and spirit, adding an uplifting element that encourages a mental reset.

4. Goat’s Milk (or another type of milk): Milk symbolizes nurturing, purity, and calm. Historically, milk is used in various rituals as a “gentle cleanser” that calms and soothes. Here, the milk “softens” the energy, helping to release negativity in a way that feels nourishing and compassionate. By incorporating milk, the spell acknowledges the need for both purification and gentle restoration.

5. White Cloth: White is universally associated with purity, peace, and innocence. The white cloth acts as a physical and symbolic “sponge” to absorb any negativity, and white as a color further enhances the intention to purify and release. When dipped in the mixture, the cloth becomes a tool to “wipe away” unwanted energy from the body, with its light color representing the energy of peace.

Instructions and Symbolic Actions

1. Setting Intention and Preparing the Space: Taking a quiet, intentional approach grounds the spell in mindfulness. Lighting a candle or incense at the start represents a spiritual “awakening” and focuses your attention on cleansing. This action alone creates a mental shift, transitioning your focus to healing and renewal.

2. Mixing the Ingredients: By combining the Epsom salt, boiled lemon, mint, and milk, you’re bringing together their respective properties of purification, clarity, renewal, and nurturing. Mixing them in a single bowl symbolizes uniting these qualities in one place, creating a physical embodiment of your desire to cleanse. As you stir, imagine the mixture itself absorbing any lingering negativity.

3. Spoken Incantation: Chanting while stirring invokes the power of each ingredient. When you say, “Salt of earth, purify; lemon’s light, clarify. Mint renews and milk restores, rid me of shadows evermore,” you’re focusing on your intention for each element to do its part. Spoken words help solidify your mental commitment to the cleansing, “programming” the mixture with your specific purpose.

4. Applying the Mixture with the White Cloth: Dipping the cloth into the mixture allows it to physically absorb the cleansing properties, just as it symbolically “absorbs” any negativity on your body. As you rub the cloth over areas that feel heavy or blocked, you’re performing a physical “sweeping away” of unwanted energy, a gesture of releasing the old to make room for new, positive energy.

5. Reciting the Release Prayer During Application: While applying, reciting the phrase, “Let all misfortune and harm be cleansed away. Through [deity or saint], I call on light to replace this weight,” focuses your mind on the desired outcome: that all negativity is removed and replaced by light and peace. This vocalization reinforces the act of release, inviting divine or universal energy to assist in the process.

6. Burying the Cloth Far from Your Home: By burying the cloth, you’re taking the absorbed negativity and physically removing it from your presence. This act of burial symbolizes leaving behind what no longer serves you, ensuring it decays and dissolves away from you. Burying it far from home signifies that this negativity should not return, aligning with the idea that buried troubles stay buried.

7. Final Words of Release: The final words—“Earth below and light above, I release this weight with love. Buried here, you shall decay; all ill intent now fades away”—are a conscious affirmation of release and forgiveness. This step helps mentally “seal” the ritual, releasing any remaining connection to the negativity.

How Actions Represent Cleansing and Releasing Negativity

This spell takes ordinary items—salt, lemon, mint, milk, and cloth—and combines them in a way that mirrors natural cycles of renewal and decay. The act of mixing and applying the ingredients mimics a purification process, engaging the senses to create a physical experience of release. The mundane becomes magic as these actions allow you to visualize the negativity leaving your body and mind, and the burial signifies a final, conclusive release.

By burying the cloth, you are symbolically—and literally—leaving behind that which no longer serves you, helping you let go mentally and emotionally. This practical yet symbolic act of release creates a lasting impression, reinforcing the mindset that cleansing, like nature, happens in cycles of release and renewal.
