BINDING SPELL TO KEEP A SECRET
This should be used to prevent someone from giving away a secret. It is a form of sympathetic
Magick. A clay or wax figure may be used, or a clothe poppet (voodoo doll). In the ritual it is named
for the person whom it represents. Then, with appropriate word, the witch takes a needle threaded
with a twenty-one inch length of red silk, and sews up the mouth of the figure. She finishes off by
winding the thread all around the body of the figure. The concentration is on the fact that the person
is unable to speak on the forbidden subject – whatever the secret may be that is being safeguarded.
At the end of the ritual the poppet is stored away in a safe place, wrapped in a piece of white cloth.
So long as the thread remains in place, the person represented is bound.
