A Purification (FIRE SPELL)

If you wish to be free from a habit, thought, idea; if you wish to be rid of past associations, guilt or blockages; take the symbols of that problem--whatever they may be--and throw them onto a raging fire. The fire will consume the symbols and so shall it consume the power they had over you.

For the symbols think a moment--if you over-eat, take a portion of your favorite food and throw it onto the fire. Smoking, drinking the same. For problems which utilize no concrete objects, draw a symbol or image and burn.

This is from Scott Cunningham's book "Earth Power".
