On the 01st November –
In the evening (with no TV or noise) place a clove of garlic on the west facing window
sill with an orange candle glowing and ask for protection, goodness and love to only enter
your home

For releasing negativity
Light an orange, black, white or purple candle
Then light your incense from the candle
Sit and think of all that you need to release from your life
Then write down on separate pieces of paper all that you would like released
Light the pieces of paper one by one and let them burn out in a fire proof dish
Saying – Dark Mother, powerful Crone, I ask that you take away and release ——from
my life as they / it no longer serves me
Thankyou
