LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Every Monday, I’ll share a simple spell or charm that I use in my own busy practice. Remember, magic doesn’t always have to be a formal affair!


 

Despite the heat this summer, we’ve had a couple of fresh, cleansing rainstorms, one of which hit when I was in the midst of some spiritual cleaning. Because of that, I took the ashes from a de-cluttering burn out into the rain, and while I let the weather help me let go, a simple chant kept repeating itself in my mind.

By the earth, by the flame,

by the wind, by the rain.
