You Will Need:

One onion

Black Candle

Spring Water

Knife to Peel Onion

Stainless Steel or Silver Plate

Take your onion and wash it in fresh spring water (purchased also from the witches' friend, the local supermarket). This spell is best performed during a waxing moon.

Wear earth colors to ground you and, if you wish, burn some sandalwood oil or incense. By the light of a black candle (black absorbs negativity, remember!) peel your onion at midnight. As the tears come, take away a layer of the pain you are feeling with each layer of the onion that you peel away.

The onions represent Mars, which represents war and feelings of angst and anger at our enemies, so peeling through the onion will open the heart chakra, allowing you to experience the feelings you have been hanging on to, and layer by layer, release them. This spell is all about not wishing to get even, or to obsess any longer over those who have harmed you.

After you have peeled your onion, place the peels on a plate (stainless steel or silver) and put on a window ledge in the kitchen where overnight the moon's energy will draw away the negativity banishing it from your environment for good. Complete this simple spell with a long, languid bath into which you have emptied three handfuls of sea salt. This will purify, protect, and strengthen you further. As you lie there, think of how much better you feel now that the desire to get back at someone has dissipated.
