Independence & Success


Independence & Success
Dear Fiona,

I'm having problems with my parents! They are wicked protective of me and I feel really smothered by them because I'm with them all the time!!! I want them to know that I love them but it's time to start letting go. I am in my first year of high school and I'm 15 years old, they need to start giving me more adult responsibilities and to treat me like an adult instead of spoiling me all the time. I'm getting older and I don't need them all the time anymore. Is there a spell or something I can do to make them let go? I would appreciate it, Thanx.

Hi anonymous

The letter you have written is perfect to use as the basis of a spell to gain more independence and success.

You will need:

1 purple candle (power)
mandarin essential oil (optimism)
white paper
purple pen


Anoint the candle with the oil, light and by it's light write your needs on the paper (much like you have in you letter). Avoid being vindictive or negative towards your parents, try to write everything from a positive perspective. When you have finished, read it carefully three times (out a loud if possible).

Now fold the paper three times, snuff the flame of the candle and say "It is done".

Lay the candle on the paper and store somewhere safe. Every night for seven full nights repeat this ritual (re-reading your goals). During this time your relationship with your parents will improve. Don't try to force results, however - just have a calm knowledge that things will turn out the way you want. Remember also that it is important for you to respect your parents and show them compassion - they are doing the best they can at a difficult job!
