- Danu:
�Danu, Great Mother Goddess who birthed all things into creation, I invite you to join me this evening so that I may honor your presence. I ask that you help me to manifest the goal of removing from my life one who is not good for me emotionally. Welcome. So mote it be.�
- As Danu is welcomed, a deep blue candle is lit in Her honor.
- Manannan:
�Manannan, powerful sea God and invincible warrior, I invite you to join me this evening so that I may honor your presence. I ask that you help me to erase from my memory a person who is not good for me emotionally. Welcome. So Mote It Be. �
- As Manannan is welcomed, a sea-green candle is lit in his honor.
- Bile:
�Bile, wise consort of Danu, who is manifest in the Tree of Life, I invite you to join me this evening so that I may honor your presence. I ask that you grant me protection from the one who would keep me under his thumb. Keep me safe from his influence. Welcome. So Mote It Be.�
- As Bile is welcomed, a black candle is lit in His honor.
- Statement of Purpose:
�I stand before you this night to banish a negative influence from my life. I no longer need this person in my life. I no longer desire the great pain and emotional bondage his presence has caused in the past. I will be free of him for now and always.�
- Magickal Working
- A brown pillar candle is charged for emotional separation, using the chant, �Of all emotional attachments, I am free. [person�s name]�s bad influence no longer has power over me!�
- Then, the brown candle is anointed with commercially prepared banishing oil and rolled in powdered dragon�s blood resin.
- A grey pillar candle charged to grant invisibility with the chant, �I am free to go where I choose, cloaked in invisibility. [Person�s name] does not see me or think of me.�
- Then the grey candle is anointed with heliotrope oil and rolled in powdered mistletoe.
- Both candles are lit and allowed to burn out completely.
- As the candles burn, take a few moments to meditate on the working.
- Offering to the Gods:
- Lift a glass of red wine to the Heavens, saying,
�Gracious Goddess and Gods, I humbly offer you my thanks with this offering of wine. May the creatures of the wild partake of it with pleasure.�
- Wine is taken outside at conclusion of ritual.
