Release Magic in Wiccan and Hoodoo Practice
Release magic addresses a specific and common spiritual need: the deliberate, ritualized process of letting go of patterns, relationships, emotions, and circumstances that no longer serve the practitioner. In Wiccan tradition, release work is strongly associated with the waning moon phase, which corresponds to the principle of decrease, withdrawal, and return. Full moon and waning moon rituals for releasing attachments appear across neo-pagan traditions with consistent structural elements, including burning petitions, unraveling knotted cords, and working with herbs of departure and cleansing.
In hoodoo, releasing and cleansing are treated as distinct but related operations. Cleansing removes crossed conditions or unwanted spiritual residue. Releasing is more volitional, involving the conscious choice to sever ties, dissolve old patterns, or free oneself from habitual cycles. A herbal blend formulated for release work combines plants with traditional associations in severance, protection, and clearing, providing a versatile base for multiple ritual applications.
Working with the 1 lb Bulk Format
The 1 lb bulk format is designed for practitioners who return to release work regularly or who need supply for extended practice cycles. Seasonal practitioners often perform formal release rituals at Samhain, the dark of the year, and at each new or waning moon. A 1 lb supply supports sustained, recurring practice without the interruption of running out mid-working. It is also useful for group settings where multiple participants are doing parallel release work.
Applications include mojo bags or sachets for ongoing release intention-holding, floor washes for clearing spaces where stagnant patterns are entrenched, and candle dressings for cord-cutting candle work. The blend can be burned on charcoal as releasing incense, particularly effective in combination with a written petition that is burned as part of the ritual. Store in a sealed bag away from moisture to maintain potency.
How to Use Releasing Spell Mix
Work with this herbal blend in release rituals, cord-cutting, and spiritual clearing practice.
- Write and Identify What You Are Releasing
Before the ritual, name what you are releasing in writing. Be specific and concrete. ‘I release the pattern of anxiety around conflict’ is more workable than ‘I release negativity.’ The written statement becomes the petition anchoring the working.
- Prepare and Work the Herbal Blend
Use the blend in a sachet, mojo bag, or floor wash depending on the release. For space clearing, steep a tablespoon in hot water, strain, and mop entry areas on a waning moon night. For personal release, pack into a small bag with the petition.
- Close the Working and Dispose Properly
After the ritual, dispose of the spent blend and petition paper away from the home, traditionally at a crossroads or in running water. Release-work materials should not stay in the home after the working, as they carry what was released.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this blend because releasing rituals are among the most practically valuable workings in any tradition, yet they are underrepresented in premixed herbal products. Most blends skew toward drawing and attraction. This one is specifically formulated for the other half of the ritual cycle: letting go and creating space.

Frequently Asked Questions
The waning moon, from full to dark, is the traditional phase for release and decrease work. Many practitioners use the full moon as a peak release point, or work across waning nights for intentions that require sustained attention to dissolve.
Steep a tablespoon of the blend in a cup of hot water for ten minutes, strain, and add to a bucket of floor wash water. Mop from back of the home toward the front door, symbolically sweeping out the pattern or energy you are releasing.
Yes. Pack a sachet with the mix and place it between two knotted cords. After stating the intention, cut the cords and burn the sachet contents along with the petition. The herbs support the symbolic severance and help clear the residual connection.
They are related but distinct. Cleansing mixes remove unwanted spiritual residue and crossed conditions. Releasing mixes focus on conscious severance from patterns or circumstances. Some workings call for both: cleanse first, then release.
