Inner Healer

You have received an invitation to follow the path of the inner healer and to choose to do the inner work required to turn your pain into medicine. Like a tree that sheds its dying leaves in the winter, you must let some parts of you die and fall away so you can not only live, but thrive. This card signals that you have a choice to make. Will you take this chance and become a powerful healer, or will you allow past traumas, limiting beliefs, false idea of self-image, and toxic relationships to push your beautiful light further into darkness?

Do not be afraid to confront your pain. You are held by Mother Earth. Each dying leaf released is another rite of passage, leading you closer to your true self and making space for fresh growth in the spring. With time, the light of your inner healing will shine, illuminating your gifts of wisdom and growth and awakening the inner healers of those around you.

Banishing and Healing Fire Spell

Ingredients: paper, pen/pencil, black candle

Letting go can be difficult , and even when we think we’ve done the work, it may have some lingering presence still within us. Banishing your past pains and regrets with flame not only releases you from them but also allows you to heal as you rise from the ashes.

On paper write a letter to the person, thing, or situation that wounded or scarred you physically or spiritually. Let it all out, write down everything you want to get out. Light your black candle, which provides for protection and heals the darkest of wounds. Take your letter, light it with the candle flame, and ask the fire to take it from you. As the ash falls, touch it with your thumb and rub it on your forehead while saying: From this ash I will rise.
