The Ash Moon is the balancing force that connects all of us with all worlds, seen and unseen. It offers potent energy for healing spells, phychic work, protection in or on water, dream magic, and curse-breaking.

For this ritual you will need an ash limb, or you may wish to decorate and empower a dowel as an ash substitute. Face each direction in turn - moving clockwise and starting in the west - while holding the ash wand before you. Visualize it beating down any curse energy or ill-will being sent your way.

End the ritual by taking the wand outside and placing it on the ground so the negativity will be grounded.
