When hurt.

Light a candle red, for the fire in your head,
Light a candle blue, for the water to soothe you.
Picture the one who's hurt you deep.
In your mind his(/her) image keep.
Stop right here, look no further -
Forgive your hate or let it smolder?
Light the fire, light the water,
Then choose your mood - calm or hotter?
Blow out one, you can't have both.
Turn one flame to wispy smoke.1

Time's lost an hour, now turn the page o'er.2

Did ye blow out the blue one?
Stop the, for this spell is done.
To drop fiery rage ye need a hand that's steady,
Lest ye burn yourself - you are not ready.3

If ye blew out the fire, welcome in
Now ye can the spell begin.
Form the circle thrice about
To keep the evil spirits out.4

With the calm blue candle, light one brown
To know calm truth as solid as ground.
Now list them all, your deepest shame -
All the reasons you are to blame.
Once this is done, take a deep breath and halt
Now list all the reasons your pain is his(/her) fault.
Burn both lists in the brown candle of truth.
The flame now holds these secrets as her loot.
Transfer this flame to the wind's candle grey,
and hold it out to the night 'till the flame goes away.
As the flame winks out, let the flame inside do so.
Forgive him(/her), yourself, turn around and let go.

    This is the most beautiful spell I have ever heard. So are you really Wiccan? If not I can tell you know some stuff about it. This is truly beautiful and exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks so much for entering. Hopefully I get more entries so you can actually compete with someone. Thank you!

      I'm not Wiccan, no, but I read this note written by this girl who was and that interested me. I'm glad you liked it - when I wrote it, I thought of what you had written, the suggestions you offered, and I harked back to one of my own experiences with forgiving someone.
      I would love to be told more about your religon.

        You should read the Wiccan Rede. You could prob find it over the internet. It would teach you a lot. Thanks again for entering. If I get at least 10 entries in the next 2 days I'm raising the gold to 800. So make sure you tell your friends because what you wrote is beautiful so I think you have a good chance of winning. Thanks a bunch and blessed be.

          Blessed be.
          I have read the Wiccan Rede, actually, I tried using it as a model to better do mine. I admit, there's a lot I didn't understand about it.
