Debt can feel like a heavy burden, but with this powerful spell, you can symbolically release those financial chains and create space for abundance to flow. Combining the transformative energy of fire, the symbolism of cedar, and the meaning of the Five of Pentacles tarot card, this ritual aligns your intentions with the universe to clear financial obstacles.
Why This Spell Works
- Cauldron (or pot): Represents creativity and transformation.
- Cedar wood: Symbolizes prosperity and wealth.
- Fire: A cleansing force that removes old, stagnant energy.
- Five of Pentacles: Embodies the concept of financial hardship—burning it symbolizes the end of debt.
- Waning Moon: The perfect time to release, banish, and let go of what no longer serves you.
Ingredients/Tools Needed
- A large iron cauldron or a cooking pot
- Cedar wood chips, sticks, or shakes
- The Five of Pentacles card from a tarot deck you don’t use for readings
- A shovel or trowel
Best Time to Perform
This spell is most effective during the waning moon, as this lunar phase supports releasing and banishing unwanted energies.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Your Space
- Choose an outdoor area where you can safely build a small fire.
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure your space is free of distractions.
- Cast Your Circle
- Cast a protective circle around the area where you’ll perform the spell to focus your energy and keep unwanted influences at bay.
- Build Your Fire
- Place cedar wood inside the cauldron or pot.
- Light the wood to create a small, controlled blaze.
- Burn the Five of Pentacles
- Hold the tarot card and focus on your intention to release your debt.
- Visualize your debts disappearing as you drop the card into the flames.
- Watch as the card burns completely, imagining yourself free of financial burdens.
- Collect the Ashes
- Once the fire has burned out, gather the ashes carefully.
- Close the Circle
- Thank any energies or entities you called upon and release the circle.
- Bury the Ashes
- On the next new moon, bury the ashes far away from your home. This action symbolizes moving past your financial struggles and starting anew.
Tips for Success
- Stay Safe: Always ensure your fire is controlled and monitor it closely. Keep water nearby in case of emergencies.
- Use Clear Intentions: As you burn the card, speak or silently affirm your intention to release debt.
- Dispose of Ashes Mindfully: Choose a place to bury the ashes that feels significant or symbolic of renewal, such as a forest, park, or garden.
