Tarot Tips: Elemental Release for Fear

To harness the transformative energy of December, consider this elemental release ritual to let go of fear:

1. Gather Your Materials: You will need a small bowl of water, a candle (white or your favorite color), a piece of paper and a pen, and a handful of soil or small stones.
2. Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet area, light your candle, and place the bowl of water nearby to symbolize emotional cleansing.
3. List Your Fears: Take a few deep breaths and visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth. On the paper, list your fears honestly.
4. Invoke the Elements:
   • Earth: Hold the soil or stones in your hands and say, “With this earth, I ground my fears.”
   • Water: Sprinkle water on the paper, stating, “With this water, I cleanse my fears.”
   • Fire: Burn the paper over the candle flame, declaring, “In these flames, I transform my fears into strength.”
   • Air: Blow the ashes outside or out of a window, exclaiming, “I release my fears to the wind.”
5. Conclude the Ritual: Snuff out the candle and thank the elements. Allow the bowl of water to evaporate as a sign of your release.
