Banishing Spell

Banishing Spell

(to be done on the dark of the moon)

 

Ingredients: paper, pen and ink, two mirrors, black thread, candles (black or white), salt water; myrrh oil mixed with comfrey, hemp, dwale (deadly nightshade), thyme, mullein, or any three of these herbs.

 

Procedure: Write or draw on the paper what you would banish. Charge it with the full force of your repulsion. Anoint with oil, then with salt water, in the form of a waning moon. Fold the paper and place between two mirrors, with the reflecting sides facing IN. Bind them securely together with black thread or yarn and drip candle wax around the edges to seal. While you do this, envision the energy which emanates from the object of your spell being bounced back on itself, unable to pass the barriers you have set up around it. Say…

 

” Your eyes are shut, your cord is cut, go back to the Mother with Death as your lover. So mote it be.”

 

Take the spell to a place where it will not be disturbed and bury it, saying…

 

“By night your eyes are blinded, by clay your ears are stopped, by earth your mouth is sealed, by rock your limbs are bound; Thus I lay you down to rest, still and silent in the ground. As I do will, so mote it be.”

 

When you have finished the burial, kneel on the ground and say…

 

“By all the power of three times three, may this spell harm no other nor return to me As I do will, so mote it be.”

Lunar Lore

The moon appearing larger at sunset, and not dim but

luminous, portends fair weather for several days.

~ Francis Bacon, “Historia Ventorum”

Elf (plural, Elves, Anglo-Saxon, oelf): properly, a mountain fay,

but more loosely applied to those airy creatures that

dance on the grass or sit in the leaves of trees and

delight in the full moon.

– Brewer’s “Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.”

Moon & Witch Comments & Graphics

New Moon

 

We consider it to be the New Moon up to 3 1/2 days after the official New Moon. She rises around dawn, sets around sunset. Because she is between the Sun and the Earth nothing or very little is reflected and for a few days the Moon is lost in the brillance of the Sun. When we cannot see any Moon in the sky, after the Waning Moon and before we see the first glimpse of the Crescent it is often referred to as the Dark Moon.

As the Sun and Moon are on the same side of the Earth, the pull on us is the strongest. Because the Sun, Moon and Earth are all in a straight line this creates a time when the high tide is higher and the low tide is lower than usual.

This is a wonderful time to make new beginnings of all types. It is especially good for getting rid of bad habits. Habitual ways of thinking that are harmful and negative can also be abandoned at this time. It is also a good time to start something creative. New projects at work can also be launched.

The first day of the New Moon is really best devoted to the planning stages of ventures. It is good to feel just a little excited and filled with anticipation, although your energy may not be at its highest. A day or two into the cycle is the time to take the initiative, apply for that job, and start house hunting or any similar endeavours. It is also good for attracting positive energies, bringing about change, good luck and growth.
