Spring is often seen as gentle—a time of blooming, of soft rain and new growth—but it also holds a quiet fire. Beneath the buds and blossoms is a deep current of transformation. It is the fire that breaks open seeds, that burns away what no longer serves, that clears space for new life to thrive. The Petal Flame Spell honors that side of spring. It is a ritual of renewal through release, using flowers and flame to carry your burdens into light.

This spell is meant to be both symbolic and sensory—a blend of color, heat, and personal intention. It’s for when you’re ready to let go of something heavy: a lingering fear, an old belief, a wound that no longer belongs to you. You’re not just watching it burn. You’re offering it back to the universe with beauty, grace, and a little fire magic.

You’ll need:

• A handful of dried flower petals (rose for love, marigold for strength, lavender for peace, or anything meaningful to you)

• A flame-safe bowl or cauldron

• A slip of paper and pen

• A lighter or matches

• A safe outdoor space or fireproof surface

• Optional: a candle to represent renewal

Steps:

1. Begin by preparing your space. If you’re indoors, ensure you have ventilation and a safe fireproof surface. If outside, find a quiet place where the wind won’t carry your flames. Place your bowl or cauldron at the center.

2. On your piece of paper, write down what you are releasing. Be honest and specific. It might be a name, a memory, a fear, or simply a phrase like “my need to please” or “the weight of self-doubt.”

3. Scatter the dried petals into the bowl. Let them form a soft nest—beauty woven into the base of your release. As you do, whisper to yourself:
   “Let beauty carry my burden. Let fire turn it to light.”

4. Fold the paper and place it gently on top of the petals. Take a deep breath and, when you’re ready, carefully light the paper. Watch as the flame catches, spreads, and begins to consume what you’ve let go.

5. As it burns, stay present. You may wish to say:
   “I offer this to the fire.
   I release it from my hands,
   from my heart,
   from my story.
   What no longer serves me becomes light.”

6. Once the flame has died down and only ash remains, take a moment in silence. You can light a new candle here if you wish—something to represent what is now possible in the space you’ve cleared.

7. If outside, return the cooled ashes to the earth. If indoors, dispose of them mindfully, thanking them for their transformation.

This ritual can be done at any point during spring or at the end of a personal chapter. The petals are a reminder that even release can be beautiful. The flame, a symbol of your courage to move forward.

Let this be your offering. Let it rise, warm and bright, into something new.
