Beltane is a good time to purify and cleanse your life of excess emotional baggage or problems. For this ritual, you’ll need your cauldron, white paper, and a red ink pen.

Begin by building a small ritual fire in the cauldron. Hold your hands over the fire and feel its energy. Then write any problems or issues you’d like to get rid of on the paper. Read what you’ve written out loud. Tear the paper into small pieces and toss them into the cauldron. Watch the flames consume the paper, destroying your problems and cleansing your life. As the smoke rises, say:

Beltane fire, burn,
Beltane fire, purify,
Carry my problems away
until they reach the sky.

After the ashes have cooled, sprinkle
them on the ground as an offering.
