It is best to perform on a waning moon. Find a quiet spot, dim the lights and light a candle of your choosing.

The Severance Haunt appears when fear has lingered too long.
In Victorian spiritual practice, fear was believed to bind the soul to imagined futures. This Haunt is called upon to gently sever those bindings.
For this, you need a bay leaf – one of the most accessible protection and courage herbs in folk magic. It’s traditionally used for banishing fear, strengthening resolve, andachieving success after a challenge.
Hold your Haunt while naming your fear aloud. Then write it on the bay leaf. Place your Haunt by your bed, and the bay leaf facing away from you both to symbolise release. Fear loosens its grip when it is acknowledged—and then dismissed.

The Absolution Haunt bears the weight we were never meant to carry.
Rooted in 19th-century beliefs of moral cleansing, this Haunt represents forgiveness of the self.
Take some sage, preferably fresh, and rub it between your fingers. Anoint the Haunt with this herby aroma and speak the words aloud of what you need to forgive yourself for.
Pick up your Haunt and hold it to your chest. Feel the beat of your heart pulsating into the Haunt. It is their burden to carry now. Your Haunt takes this from you, with love. Guilt departs when compassion enters. You are free.

The Wisp moves softly in stillness, calming what trembles within.
Victorian mediums believed anxious energy disturbed the ether around the body. This Haunt restores quiet balance.
These shades were used for nervous disorders and “overwrought minds” in historical colour therapy. They calm the breath and steady racing thoughts. Take a bowl of water and dip your fingers of one hand in it.
Feel the energies trickle up into your arm and across your chest and flow down into your other hand, holding your Haunt. Allow it to soak up what no longer serves you. Toss the water outside into the earth and place your Haunt next to your pillow with a sprig of lavender. Sleep well together. You are held.

The Requiem Haunt listens to the words that were never spoken.
Victorian mourning culture deeply associated violet with grief, remembrance, and emotional dignity. It honours sorrow without trapping it.
This Haunt is used to release unexpressed apologies, grief, and lingering sorrow. Write what you wish to say and to whom on a piece of paper. Pick the petals from a rose and place them in a circle. In the centre, place your paper, and then your Haunt on top. Allow the feelings to rise and pass.
Raise your palms together to the heart centre and close your eyes. Inhale the smell of the rose. Remember the person, or situation, in the happiest time you can recall. Visualise this memory seeping into your Haunt, immortalising it. Honour it. And release your sorrow.
