Day 10 - Great Release Program 2025

Day 10 – Grandpa Headless’s Road-Clear DayTheme: Mobility, Safety, Letting the Past Go

Reward: 10 Stars (I am feeling generous, lol.)

Magickal Moment:  Grandpa Headless stands in the driveway, his coat buttoned crooked, his head tucked politely under one arm like an old bowling ball. He is frowning—not at you, but at his wagon, the one he built himself. The inside of the wagon looks like a tiny storage unit on wheels, crammed with receipts, old drink cups, half-forgotten masks, an umbrella that never quite opens correctly, and a few mysteries no one remembers putting there.  Soon, he will be driving into the woods to fetch a Yule tree.  His vehicle must be prepared.

He taps his foot. “Hrrmph,” he says, from somewhere in the general chest area. “How’s anybody supposed to travel clean and safe when the chariot looks like this?”

He remembers what it is like to be caught off guard, to have things go wrong when you least expect it. Losing your head will do that to a person. Ever since, Grandpa Headless has been big on readiness, awareness, and not pretending that mess and delay are “no big deal” when they really are slowing you down.

Today, Grandpa Headless is here to help you reclaim your own road, clean your own chariot, and bring your daily movement back into alignment with who you are becoming, instead of leaving your energy scattered all over the floor mats.

Main Goal of the Day

The goal of Day 10 is to clear, clean, and bless your vehicle so it becomes a safe, supportive extension of your home rather than a rolling junk drawer. If you do not drive, you can choose whatever carries you from place to place: a bicycle, a mobility scooter, a stroller, a favorite rolling cart, or even the bag or backpack you rely on every day.

By the end of the day, the thing that moves you through the world should feel lighter, calmer, safer, and more intentional. Grandpa Headless wants your version of that handmade wagon to be worthy of the roads you are traveling now, not stuck in the habits of the past.

Today’s Physical Task – Clean the Chariot

Aim for fifteen to thirty minutes if that is available to you, more if you feel determined. There is always a smaller version you can fall back on, but start by opening as many doors, windows, or zippers as you safely can. Let the air move through the space, and imagine stale energy and old worries drifting out just as surely as dust and crumbs.

Begin with trash. Collect every cup, wrapper, dead receipt, napkin, and odd scrap you can easily see. Use a bag or box so you do not have to keep walking back and forth. There is no need to read each piece of paper or relive each moment; just remove it. Grandpa Headless is not sentimental about broken straws.

Then look for stowaways that do not belong in your vehicle at all: books that wandered in and never returned, spare clothes no one remembers wearing, bags that turned into permanent passengers, craft supplies, old mail, and random “I’ll deal with it later” items. Carry them out and place them together somewhere inside the house for sorting after you finish the main task.

In honor of Day 10, choose at least ten things to remove completely from your vehicle. These may be objects to throw away, recycle, donate, wash and put away elsewhere, or re-home where they actually belong. As you pull each item out, you can say quietly, “Off my road, out of my way.” You are not just tidying; you are changing how you travel.

When the car or other transport is emptied of obvious clutter, do a simple cleaning. Shake out the mats if you have them, wipe the dashboard or handlebars, clear the dust from the console or basket, and clean the inside of the windshield or main viewing surface if you can. You do not have to detail every corner. Focus on a clear view, a comfortable seat, and the feeling that the space is cared for.

Reset the essentials with intention. Put back only what belongs in a well-prepared “wagon”: current registration and insurance papers if you drive, a small trash bag or container, a useful emergency item like a flashlight or basic first-aid supplies, maybe a cloth or packet of wipes. Add one protective charm or symbol that feels right to you—a stone in the cup holder, a tiny sigil in the glove compartment, a charm on your handlebars, a blessed ribbon on your walker, a prayer card tucked where you can see it. When your eye falls on it, it should quietly say, “This road is protected.”

Emotional and Magickal Release Work

Day 10’s emotional work is about releasing the feeling of always being “in transit” without ever really arriving, and clearing the worries that pile up in your mind the way junk piles up in the back of a wagon.

After you finish the basic cleaning, sit in the driver’s seat, on the bike, behind the walker, or beside your chosen chariot for a few quiet moments. Place your hands on the steering wheel, the handlebars, the main handle, or even on your keys, and breathe slowly.

Ask yourself: “What do I carry with me every time I travel that I am ready to put down?” Let the first honest answer arrive. It might be tension about being late, anger from old trips that went badly, fear of being judged for the condition of your vehicle, resentment about how much running around you have to do, or a general sense of dread every time you leave the house. Notice what appears and name it, even if you only whisper it.

Later, in your journal or notes, you can write: “What rides with me that I don’t want as a passenger anymore?” Choose one repeating thought or feeling and decide that it no longer gets to sit in the front seat of your attention. It may still show up from time to time, but it does not get to steer.

Grandpa Headless’s Safe Road Spell

You can do this spell seated in the vehicle, standing beside it, or simply holding your keys if the vehicle itself is not easily accessible.

Place one hand on the vehicle, or on your keys, helmet, handlebars, or main handle, and if it is comfortable, close your eyes for a moment. Imagine a soft band of light circling your chariot, like a glowing lane of protection around it. See Grandpa Headless standing near the front, solid and watchful, his head tucked under one arm, keeping an eye on the road in every direction.

Then say:

Guardian Angels/Ancestors, guard my way,

Clear my path by night and day.

Junk and worry, fear and dread,

Leave this road, be gone, be shed.

Wheel and engine, brake and light,

Carry me safely, day and night.

You can repeat the last two lines whenever you start the engine, set your wheels in motion, or step out the door on a busy errand day. It becomes a simple road blessing that links your everyday travel to your magickal practice.  I always add a visualization of Polar Bears guiding my way – but, that’s me.

Booger Boost:  Grandpa Headless says:  “Clutter is conquered, my old fears are through;Every bit of release?  Brings fresh blessings to you!”

Astrology Snapshot – 3rd Quarter Virgo Moon, Neptune Direct, Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus

Day 10 arrives under a 3rd Quarter Moon in Virgo, a sky that practically begs for clearing, sorting, and putting things in their proper place. The Virgo Moon loves practical order and functional systems, and the 3rd Quarter phase adds a strong release tone, asking you to let go of broken routines, sloppy habits, and “I’ll deal with it later” piles that steal your time and peace of mind. Cleaning your vehicle, wagon, or daily carry under this Moon isn’t just housekeeping; it is an act of reclaiming competence and calm in the ordinary movements of your life.

Neptune turning direct can feel like a slow, subtle shift from fog back toward focus, as if the dream haze that’s been hanging over certain areas of your life begins to thin. Old confusions or fantasies about how “someday” you’ll get more organized, travel differently, or magically feel less stressed on the road may begin to dissolve, making room for clearer, kinder choices in the here and now. At the same time, Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus charges the air with sudden insights, sharp realizations, and a restless urge to break out of stuck patterns around security, comfort, and control; thoughts can come like lightning, truths can surface abruptly, conversations and short trips may feel a little more intense or unpredictable. This aspect is perfect for those “enough is enough” moments where you decide you’re done driving around in chaos, done using your car as a storage locker, done letting mental clutter ride shotgun. Together, these transits fully support Grandpa Headless’s work: clear the junk, honor your intuition, listen to the surprising ideas that pop up, and let your cleaned, blessed chariot become a grounded, reliable ally instead of a rolling reflection of old overwhelm.

If You Are Low on Time or Energy

If today is difficult, you can still honor Grandpa Headless and Day 10 in a smaller but meaningful way. Remove ten items from the car or from your main travel bag—any ten at all—and throw them away, recycle them, or return them to their proper home. Wipe one surface, such as the steering wheel, the handlebar grips, or the inside of the windshield, and say, “I see more clearly now.” Touch the car, your keys, or your walker and quietly speak the last two lines of the spell: “Wheel and engine, brake and light, carry me safely, day and night.” That is enough for today. The road will still feel a little clearer under your feet.

Reward for Day 10

When you have completed your Day 10 work, mark your progress. On your chart, calendar, or journal, write, “I cleared my road today,” and if you wish, doodle a tiny wagon, a broom on wheels, or a headless but cheerful figure giving a thumbs-up.

Then give yourself a small, conscious travel-related reward. You might take a short drive or ride through a place you enjoy, even if it is just around the block, simply to feel how different the space is. You might sit in the cleaned vehicle for a moment while it is parked, breathe in the lighter air, and let your shoulders drop. In your mind’s eye, see Grandpa Headless standing at the edge of the driveway beside his own handmade wagon, pleased that your chariot is no longer a roaming storage unit, but a road-worthy ally ready to carry you toward the life you are building.

Until tomorrow…

Peace with the Gods

Peace with Nature

Peace within! Silver!
