Banishing Spell
To be performed during the waning moon. The purpose of this spell is to rid yourself of negative influences. If you feel someone is exerting negative energy, you can banish that energy with a spell similar to this one.
Tools needed:
heatproof container or cauldron
black or white candle
basil or garlic (for uncrossing, protection)
paper, and a black pen
Cast the circle Invoke the Gods and Goddesses that you usually call upon to assist you Statement of Purpose: I am here to banish negative influences from my life. Right now, (name) is exerting an extremely negative force upon me. I ask for the God and Goddess to assist me in banishing these forces and eliminating his/her destructiveness.
Consecrate the cauldron as follows: Sprinkle with salt water and recite “In the name of the Lord and Lady, I charge you to serve me within this circle. I clear you of all former influences and energies that you may be fit for the workings of magick again.” Do the same with the candle. On a piece of paper, write the full name of the person to be banished. Roll it up and tie it with a black string. Sprinkle with salt water and recite: “Thou creature of paper, by paper made by paper changed. Thou art not paper, but negative influences in (name). So mote it be!” Light the black candle. Burn the paper in the candle, visualizing all negative power over you vanishing in the flames and rising out of your world with the smoke. Sprinkle basil and garlic over the flames and recite: “Blazing force of cleansing fire, help me in this rite. By air and earth, water and fire, so be you bound with this rite! Your power takes flight Sky and sea, keep harm from me. Cord go round, power be bound, your negativity will no longer come my way. From henceforth, your power over me is banished. So mote it be!” Let the paper burn itself out while you visualize a healthy, positive relationship with the person. Cakes and ale (eating bread or drinking wine or juice to restore energy spent during ritual). Thank the God and Goddess. Release the circle.
