Reversal & Protection Full Moon Esbat Ritual
- Take bath or shower. Put on Jewitch pentacle with blessing.
- Perform ritual bath with blessings.
- Set up altar.
- Carefully unwrap prepared reversal candle and place original top into holder.
- In the center of the altar, on a round mirrored surface (upon which a pentacle has been made with thin strips of black tape or inscribed with an inscribing tool) place a slip of paper upon which has been written: May the curses cast upon me by my enemies return midah kneged midah, measure for measure, back to those who have cast them.
- Place the reversal candle on top of the piece of paper.
- Call quarters [1] (athame-N, light black quarter candles; light charcoal for incense-E; water-S; wood-W) and cast circle [1].
- Perform incense offering ritual.
- Inscribe marks to distinguish 13 portions of the candle.
- Light prepared ritual reversal candle.
- Recite entire 91st Psalm [2].
- Recite blessing – Beruchah shem kevod malchutah le-olam va’ed. Amen. (ברוך שם כבוד מלכותה לעולם ועד, אמן) So mote it be.
- Let candle burn out over 13 days, 1 portion per day [3].
- Save any wax remnants and scatter in a wooded area.
Repeat ritual for 3 consecutive months, each time with the reversal candle prepared on the dark moon and the ritual performed on the full moon surrounding midnight.
Footnote:
[1] calling quarters and circlecasting procedure (basic, may be adapted)
[2] In Hoodoo, the 37th Psalm is recited. Given my intimate connection to Psalm 91, I will recite this Psalm instead.
[3] use candle snuffer or pinch between fingers to extinguish, do not blow out candle
