#fedicoven Q13 What are the processes or rituals you use to let go of the past and welcome the new?
Embracing the new is never a problem for me, but the past needs a bit of amputation on occasion. I'll write or draw the weight of what I need to release and send it out into the universe, either by burning or sending it out into the wind and do some cleansing rituals after.
Sometimes, though, the scars keep hold of the past inside me, and I need some help to do a joined spell.
Never find a bit of the past tenaciously lingering like chewing gum stuck in your hair?
There will always be such bits. Such is life. Some of them occasionally pop up again, but I know I have dealt with them, and tell them so. They'll be gone again for a long time. They are the things which can't be changed any more, where nothing can be done to alter their existence.
For the rest I'm quite stoic. "It is how it is. I have changed what I could. I shall not waste energy on what's unchangeable."
Do you keep these poems?
I keep all my poems. The biggest selection is on my WordPress site – https://introspectionsja.wordpress.com – if you are interested. Not all. I'm toying with the idea of publishing them and others, not online.
@HeliaXyana for me a simple ritual whereby I will take something symbolic of that which I need to let go, and ritually burn it.
Welcoming the new can be more problematic for me though, and something I need to work on!
