Full Moon Ceremony for Releasing & Purging
This is a process to help you release any person, animal, thought, emotion or negative words (including negative self-talk) and situation that has caused you harm, or that has mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually scarred you. Anything that drains you or does not serve a higher Divine purpose in your life. It is VERY important however, to release any and all in LOVE and LIGHT so as not to attract more darkness back to you.
(For the purpose of this ceremony, the use of the word "God" can be replaced with Goddess, Nature, Gaia, Great Sprit, Source or any other form of God that you pray to or call upon.)
Note: This is more powerful when done on the full moon because as the moon begins to wane so do the issues you are releasing. It is also best to do this each full moon to keep your energy clear and your life from going back to the old patterns.
Materials:
A metal or ceramic bowl for burning in
A white candle for illumination, a black or silver candle for protection of your space and a pink candle for loving energy
A tea light candle to place inside the bowl
Paper and pen
Sage and/or cedar
Salt (optional)
Incense (optional)
Find a place outside that is peaceful and that you have a good view of the full moon if possible. If you can, make a circle of salt around you to help keep lower energies out while you work. Then light some sage or cedar to cleanse and protect the area, and some incense to help put you into a more spiritual state of mind through your sense of smell. (Jasmine is particularly good to use when working with full moon energy.)
Call in your angels, the Archangels, and your guides to help with the process. If you like, you can call the corners as follows:
“Archangel Raphael, Guardian of the East and of Air, Keeper of The Tree of Life, healing powers, and Archangel of love, joy, and laughter I invite you into my circle for healing and protection.
Archangel Michael, Guardian of the South and of Fire, Chief of the Archangels and Keeper of Justice, strength, and protection I invite you into my circle and ask you to use the Flaming Sword of Light for your strength and protection.
Archangel Gabriel, Guardian of the West and of Water, Patron of the Messengers and Archangel of resurrection, mercy and peace I invite you into my circle and ask for your inner peace and protection.
Archangel Uriel, Guardian of the North and of Earth, Keeper of Prophecy and Archangel of visions and instruction I invite you into my circle and ask for your instruction and protection.
Father God, Creator of all Life big and small, I ask that you would stand beside me while I pray, purge and reach for Your higher guidance. I ask for Your mercy and grace, Your healing, Your instruction and protection in all things I do. In Your name I pray and seek. Amen.”
Sit and say a prayer to ask God to send the angels to be with you for enlightenment and guidance during this process of releasing all things that no longer serve a higher purpose in your life and light the white candle. Then light the black/silver candle and ask Him to send extra angels to protect you from lower energies or outside forces, to protect your space, your spirit during your purge, and your heart and mind so that nothing being released can reattach. Finally, light the pink candle and ask to be surrounding in AA Raphael’s rose pink light of loving energy.
Next, write down the first person or situation that comes to mind that you want to let go of. Then once this is done, tear the strip of paper off and hold the paper in front of you and allow yourself to FEEL EVERY NEGATIVE EMOTION tied to the situation or the relationship. Envision that you are pulling it all up from deep inside you and PUSHING it into that piece of paper, letting the paper absorb it like a sponge. This may take while so don't rush it. You will know when you are done because you will suddenly feel a little drained. Once you are through, say this prayer. "In the name of the Father, ______ (<---name or situation) you no longer carry any power or authority over my life. I release any pain or negative energy you brought into my life, into my heart, my mind, my body or my spirit. I forgive you completely and release you now into the love and light of the angels to take away to the Father. I only retain the part of our relationship that is healed and based in love. I ask that all negative effects from mistakes from the past be undone and forgotten forever in time. You no longer have any authority over my life, I am my own power. BE GONE." Then set fire to the paper using the candle in the bowl and allow it to fully burn inside the bowl. Envisioning all that was negative being released to the angels so that they can carry it to God to dispose of and take care of. Do this with each thing that comes to mind that needs releasing. Take your time and make sure to do ALL things, situations and people that come to mind. This includes releasing bad habits, negative self-talk, self-hatred, your past actions against others etc. Write down everything that happened that caused you hurt or pain or that mentally, emotionally or spiritually damaged you in any way. Make sure you include any negative habits that came from the relationship or situation (such as putting yourself down, thinking poorly of yourself because of the way you were treated, addictions you may have picked up as a coping mechanism etc. Remember that you are forgiving the person, not their actions (which are false illusions of the ego, no matter how hurtful they were). By forgiving them you are cutting the strings and ties that allow them to have control, power and authority over your life. This forgiveness session will go further toward lightening your spirit and ultimately lightening your body than just about anything else you could do.

Breaking Past Soul Ties
This ceremony is very personal and has many benefits. The reason for this ceremony is to help you reclaim the pieces of yourself that were given to your past lovers, romantic partners and past romantic loved ones so that you may once again be whole in spirit instead of looking like spiritual Swiss cheese with many holes in your spirit from your missing pieces. This process will help cut any unhealthy ties or control that they may have over you, and will also release you from carrying pieces of them that allows you to have control over them.
First, sit down and write down ALL previous partners. This is anyone you have had a relationship with, slept with, made out with, or held romantic feelings for (including your current partner if you had sex with them before marriage). If there is a name you can't remember, just put a description of the person such as "guy from party" or whatever works for you. Also, if you feel you are forgetting names, then at the bottom write "and any others I may be forgetting". But it is important to write down as many specific names as you can remember.
After you have written all names down you are going to ask God and Archangel Michael and your guardian angels to help you release all soul ties to the people on the list. You will ask Archangel Michael to use his flaming sword of white light to cut all ties and release the pieces of those people that you carry back to them, and to release the pieces of you that they carry back to you. Ask them to help replace and fill in all the holes in your spirit that were created from these past ties while saying the prayer "In love and light I release all soul ties connected to others from my past. Let their soul ties return to them making themselves whole again, and let my soul ties return to me so that I may again be whole. Let all ties be released in love, light and peace so that there is no longer any tie, hold, control or blockage in my life, romantically or otherwise." Then once you feel this is complete (you can speak each name allowed or just ask it to be done as a whole). Then you can either burn it (my preferred method as fire cleans away the old to make room for the new) or you can shred it and stomp it beneath your feet and even bury it. This is like becoming a spiritual "virgin" and so the next time you lay with your spouse or partner you will be giving your whole self to him (or her) instead of just the crumbs left from everyone else.
Note: It's important to know that with this stage and the last stage of this process that u may begin to receive texts, emails, fb messages, phone calls etc. from the people you are releasing because they feel the disconnect and will begin thinking of you. But do not allow their sudden messages to let them reattach. Ask for extra protection if this occurs.

Cutting Etheric Cords
It's important to regularly sever your etheric (energy/emotional) cords from people who may be draining your energy. It is not uncommon to have etheric cords attached to places, animals, and people with whom you've had, or still have, a relationship, even if they've passed on. When we think of someone, or they think of us, an attachment is formed, especially if there is fear of any kind involved (including a fear of losing them or of them losing us, or of them hurting us). This is an energy cord created between us and that person or being much like an umbilical cord, but it can be located at any point on your body. It is very important to recognize when another person may be draining your energy, or causing you to feel angry, or maybe you just feel miserable and as though you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. But severing these cords, you are not rejecting the person (or animal) or the healthy connections between you and them, you are only rejecting the unhealthy connection between yourself and the person on the other end of the cord. You should cut all cords, including those to your family, friends, children etc. so that you are not draining them, or allowing them to drain you.
After you have released/purged and severed soul ties, then stand under the moonlight (or in your sacred space, and say a prayer asking God to send Archangel Michael to come and stand with you as he is the Archangel of protection. Ask Archangel Michael to step forward to help you by using his flaming sword of white light to help you cut etheric cords that are draining you, or that you may unknowingly be using to drain others. Then take a few deep breaths and relax. Once you have relaxed your body, envision God's brilliant white light coming through a beam through your crown chakra (the top of your head). As the light begins to pour down imagine it scanning your body for dark places or tender places on your body. As soon as you feel one stop. Ask AA Michael to give you the name of (or show you the face of) the person this dark or tender spot is connected to. Once you have a name, ask AA Michael to use his flaming sword of light to cut the etheric cord between you and that person. You can use the prayer "With the power of God, and the help of Archangel Michael, I cut this cord in love and light. May we no longer carry an unhealthy connection between us." (I use my athame here, but if you feel guided to you can use your hand and place it against your body and make a cutting or sweeping motion to give a physical sensation of the cord being severed, or use scissors to visually “cut” the cords as AA Michael spiritually severs them. It is not necessary though if you feel the envisioning is good enough for you). Use authority in your voice as say “________ I sever your tie to me, may you no longer pain me, drain me, or cause me any hurt or discontent. I cut your ties, cancel your authority and command the release of my spirit from your hand. You no longer control me, nor I you. I release you to the light of God. Be gone.” Once the cord has been cut then continue on with the body scan and do it again with the next place you feel.
This can become emotional so be prepared for that. And don't be surprised if the ones you cut cords to suddenly try to contact you saying that you popped into their mind, this is just their higher self-acknowledging the disconnection of the unhealthy bond. Some people you may need to cut some ties more than once if the bond is a strong one.
