A Spell for Removing Obstacles

No matter what we do in life, we will have obstacles. Sometimes, we can identify and eliminate these obstacles through mundane actions such as removing ourselves from a negative situation or increasing our skill in the area we lack. Those things are easy to fix. Some of the obstacles, however, are not so easy to get rid of. Often, we don’t even realize the obstacles, some of which we may well have created ourselves, and some that come from elsewhere. Regardless of where the obstacles come from, to achieve our goals, we want to remove them. 

For these, we can turn to Ascended Master Ganesha, the Hindu Remover of Obstacles. Ganesha is also associated with the root chakra, that chakra connected to our sense of self, and our well-being. As a Hindu representation of God, the figure of Ganesha represents not only a state of perfection but also the means of obtaining it. He is the Lord of Good Fortune and the Destroyer of Obstacles. Therefore, in this spell, we will invoke his help and honor Ganesha.
