Remembrance Ritual

memorial day remembrance remembrance ritual remembrance spell witch witch practice witch way

Memorial Day is coming up and for those who follow the witch way or those who would like a simple observance for those they've lost, this uncomplicated ritual from runic-daydream may help you help you toward sense of connection, comfort & peace.

You will need

  • A candle– White is a good all-purpose candle but you can also use one in the favorite color of your loved one or multiple candles if you feel called to.

  • A photo or drawing of the person who's passed.  If you don't have one, you can write their name on some paper.

Optional items:

  • A small trinket/object that reminds you of the person

  • Crystals: runic recommends using a crystal that reminds you of or signifies your loved one.  Rose quartz and clear quartz also work wonderfully.

  • Use your preferred cleansing herbs to clear the space and to clear & center your mind & energy. Lavender, rosemary, juniper, frankincense, myrrh, etc.

Instructions

  • Before beginning, perform any cleansing rituals, meditation, or centering you may like to do. If it is in line with your method of practice, create a protective circle around your altar/working space.

  • Set up the photo of the person in front of you, by the candle(s)

  • Light the candle(s)

  • For as long as you need, settle yourself until your mind is calm and clear, then say:                                                                                                   “By the beauty of this world, and all that awaits us in the next, I remember my dear (friend/sister/brother/mother/etc). I call them to me, and honor their memory.”

  • Now is the time when you can connect with your loved one. Gaze & conenctrate on the photo, hold the item you brought, maybe talk to them or write them a note if you feel like it. If you feel awkward at first, try recounting a favorite memory you shared, or telling them how much you love and miss them. Take as long for this as you like.

  • When you feel ready to finish the spell, say your goodbyes to your loved one, then say:                                                                                              “I bid you farewell, dear (sister/friend/etc,) for now. I feel your blessing and send you my own. Until we meet again.”

  • Blow out the candle(s).  If you have created a protective circle, remember to close it appropriately. 

We wish you all serene comfort and healthy closure and, for those who are traveling, we wish you a safe journey.  Take care.
