Ritual to Overcome Addiction


Paper and Pencil
Wide-tipped black marker
Green Candle
Matches or Lighter
Hematite
Chrysoprase
Orange Calcite or Quartz
Fireproof dish or Small Cauldron
Cloth Bag (optional)

Write your addiction on a piece of paper, then mark through it with a heavy black line. Put it aside. Inscribe the candle with your name. Light the candle and say:

Healing Ancients, I ask of Thee
Take this pain away from me.
Remove any trace of this addiction,
And heal me of all related afflictions.

Hold the hematite to your forehead and say:

Grant courage now and healing power
Strengthen my will hour by hour.


Place this stone on the right side of the candle. Lift the chrysoprase to your forehead and say:

Stone of joy and happiness
Put my urges now to rest.


Place this stone on the left side of the candle. Hold the orange calcite or quartz to your forehead and say:

Amplifier of energies
Magnify their powers, please.


Place this stone in front of the candle. Stand in front of the altar and turn your hands palms up. Say:

Powers of the Earth unite
Bind the powers of this addiction tight
So it will have no hold on me
As I will, so mote it be!


Take the paper in your hands and say:

Chains that bind me, now break free
I am power, strength, and resiliency
I have the courage to overcome
This addiction - go now - run!
Begone from me! Do not return!
Your power over me, I burn!


Light the paper with a match or lighter, then burn it in the fireproof dish, saying:

By flame of Fire, I'm purified
Of your delusionary lies.
I'm free of you and all the strife
That you once cast upon my life.
I am healed now. I am free.
As I will, so mote it be!


When the candle has completely burned out, carry the stones with you either loose or in a cloth pouch. Repeat the ritual as often as necessary to get control of the problem.
