Banishment Spell
This is a fire spell for love gone wrong, for ending a personal, family or business relationship that you no longer wish to be in. I wrote it years ago as an anti-stalking spell and have not been troubled by or even laid eyes on the spellís subject since then. To work the spell you will need:
ïherbs of protection (consult the list in the book)Arrange your altar or other working surface in your usual way. Raise power and cast a circle. Put everything into a fireproof container - iron cauldron, marble mortar, whatever - and set fire to it as you perform the spell. Add the photograph or a piece of paper with the personís name on it if you have trouble getting the fire going. It should make a very satisfactory blaze that reduces to ashes. If you have a lot of items from this person to get rid of, you could use a bonfire for the spell and feed them all to it.
ïan image of the person (photograph, poppet, etc.) Something written in their own hand, a lock of hair, a piece of clothing or a personal object will also do.
By dragonís blood and salamanders
by horses when their hooves strike sparks
by the dragon breathing flames
from the Book of Life I erase thy names
I cut the cords and unlock the chains
I sever all the ties by which we were bound
and with impenetrable walls myself I surround
against thy power and its source
against thy evil and its source
Vesta, Pele, Lilith
Kali Kali Kali
I banish thee forever from me
and any harm from thee to me
doubles back and tables turned
thou shalt by thyself be burned
Lilith, Vesta, Pele
Kali Ma Kali Ma
by the power of three times three
I banish thee, I banish thee, I banish thee
I am set free
So mote it be!
The ashes can be buried or washed down a drain.
Flush them down a toilet if you are very angry. Dispose of all the objects
that connect you to the person: gifts, letters, photographs, etc. It is
especially important to get rid of jewelry. Move house if you have to.
Be careful with this spell. Itís permanent,
so donít use it unless you really mean forever.
Blue Justice Spell
This is a spell for affecting outcomes. It
uses the color blue, particularly cobalt blue, ultramarine, royal blue,
electric blue, any vibrant shade of dark blue. This is not a judgment spell;
it does not attempt to find facts, determine justice, affix blame or penalties.
This is a Justice Spell that invites the Universe to step in and right
a wrong, to restore balance where imbalance exists.
The final outcome is left to the Goddess,
whose notion of justice may be different from ours, whose sense of Time
is eternal, but who applies the Law of Three without pity. What goes around,
comes around. Justice may be seen to be done immediately or it might take
karmic form, but Justice will prevail.
The spell has two parts and can be used for
any matter at law: civil proceedings, criminal cases; trials or administrative
hearings. Binding and banishing spells could be used to augment it. As
always, you can modify the spell in any way you like to suit the circumstances
that bring you to needing such a spell.
For this spell youíll need:
ïa tall blue candle (I used a big votive, the sort of glass encased candle that you see left on doorsteps and beside roads after tragedies)OPTIONAL:
ïfrankincense (it usually comes in a blend with myrrh, which is fine; cedar or sandalwood could be substituted)
ïa blindfolded female poppet (I used a black female candle, with a strip of white Egyptian cotton for the blindfold)
ïdark blue glitter, several vials
ïsea salt (substitute ordinary salt if you have to)
ïa bowl of water
ïa tray or other surface on which to work the spell (I use a cobalt blue tray with a sun/moon/stars pattern on it, a cheap tin thing on which I often cast spells, but you could use anything you like)
ïa scale, the old-fashioned kind with two balances; this is a symbol of justice that could be placed on the altar while you are working the spellSome witches say you should never mix deities from different cultures in a spell or ritual but I mainly work with god/desses and find it can be very effective to do so. The caveat to this is the deities must correspond in some way to each other or to the spell. This spell invokes several justice god/desses from the Greco-Roman, Celtic and Egyptian pantheons.
ïan ostrich feather, if you can get one, to decorate the altar
I don't have a scale or ostrich plume so I used a set of three black stone pyramids from Egypt. They are inscribed with heiroglyphs including the only one I know how to read, the feather of Ma'at.
ïwear a diamond from the time you begin the spell until the case is concluded, if you have one
FIRST PART OF THE SPELL
Arrange the altar or working surface in your usual
way, then add everything you will need for this spell.
ïInscribe the candle with the feather of Maíat, then write her name on it. (I used a metallic marking pen, writing on the glass.)
ïStand the blindfolded poppet in the bowl of water and place that on the tray with the candle and incense.
ïAdd anything you have that relates to the crime or dispute on the altar: photographs, newspaper clippings, legal documents, letters, evidence, etc.
ïCall quarters and cast a circle.
ïLight the incense and the candle.
ïPour the sea salt and blue glitter into the tray as you say:
Repeat this as many times as feels necessary to you. Use your athame to stir the glitter and salt together. Close your eyes, open your palms and pray to Ma'at. Tell her what result you would like the spell to have but acknowledge her right to effect justice as she sees fit.
ïClose the circle and ground power.This part of the spell can be cast at any time: before a proceeding begins, or while it is underway.
ïPour the melted wax over the poppet. Leave the altar set up that way.
ïEach day, for several days, burn the candle and more incense. Pour the wax over the poppet each time, praying to Maíat.
ïMix the ash from the incense into the glitter and salt.
PART TWO
This next part should be done at a signifigant point such as
the start of the trial, the beginning of jury selection, or when deliberations
begin.
ïDress in blue clothes.(Change or omit the first part of the spell if you are not of Celtic descent.)
ïRemove the Blue Justice Powder from the tray. Clean up, throwing the poppet and candle away. The poppet could also be buried or destroyed. If you like and if it is possible, it could be left outside the personís home in a place where they will be sure to see it, mailed to them or buried on their property or near the courthouse. For urban magic, consider throwing it away in a trash receptacle at the court.
ïTake the powder to the courthouse. (This is best done late at night or on a holiday or weekend, when you are least likely to be noticed or interrupted.)
ïStand before the courthouse and recite these words over the powder.
Odinís Binding:
Binding + Transformation
This is a major spell, one that should be reserved
for the most serious problems. Imposing your will on another is not something
we normally do. It is a kind of psychic rape so be sure the circumstances
justify using magic this way, as for a rapist, a child abuser or an active
practitioner of black magic.
This spell is not meant to punish the person it
binds, it is meant to help them. You cast it out of necessity and compassion,
not in anger. It is designed to stop the person dead in their tracks, freeze
them from doing harm to themself or others and give them pause, a clear
space in which positive transformation can occur.
You need:
ïA poppet - any sort of poppet is fine, in the correct gender if possible. Personalize it in some way to the person you will bind, such as embroidering their name on it or affixing a picture of them to the poppet's face. I like to use a human shaped candle with the person's name written on it or carved into the wax.Gather everything (except the tree) where you will cast the spell. Raise power. Light one candle and the incense, cast a circle in your usual way. Bind the poppet with the thread, wrapping it around and around, making knots whenever you feel they are necessary. Speak to the person as you do this, telling them specifically why you are binding them and what you are binding them from.
ïTwo candles, black ones if possible
ïBlack thread (cotton is good, linen is better)
ïIncense (copal, fumitory, sandalwood and frankincense are good, but use whatever you can get)
ïAn image of the person or something connected with them. If you don't have anything, write their name on a piece of paper.
ïA healthy, living tree
I ween that I hung on a windy tree,
Hung there for nights full nine;
With the spear I was wounded, and offered I was
To Odin, myself to myself,
On the tree that none may ever know
What root beneath it runs.
This is the transformation part of the spell, the
Norse god Odinís words about his experience of hanging himself as a sacrifice
to gain wisdom. Leave the poppet on the tree for nine days and nights.
Recite the poem to the poppet at least once each day, sending the person
strong thoughts about the changes you want them to manifest. Send them
compassion, send them enlightenment. Hold a mirror up to the poppet while
you recite the poem if you want them to 'see' what they have done. Yell
at the poppet if you have anger you need to release. This spell should
be therapeutic for you too.
Take the poppet down after nine days and nights,
leaving it bound. Light the second black candle and drip its wax all over
the poppet. Speak to the person while you do this, telling them whatever
you think they need to hear. As soon as the wax sets, get the poppet out
of your house and into the trash. Seal it in something if the person was
a great threat. Do NOT bury it.
If the tree shows signs of growth afterward, that
is a good sign the transformation part of the spell is working. If it's
spring and the tree was going to bloom anyway, more than the usual number
of blossoms would be a good sign.
This spell is for dealing with someone who is more of an annoyance than a threat, someone who really gets on your nerves or stresses you out by intruding in your life or violating your space. It is for someone you have already asked to stop but who persists in bothering you. It is not a spell to use on someone whose actions within their own life or space you object to. You need:
ïa boxPut everything in the box. Cover the box and give it a good hard shake, mentally yelling at the person to modify the behavior that annoys you. Put the box away, in a drawer or up on a shelf. Take it out and give it a hard shake, yelling at them, every time they annoy you. After the first week or so you should seldom need to shake the box. Throw the box away in a few months, when the garlic begins to spoil.
ïtwo heads of garlic (or more, if you are using a big box or dealing with a group of people)
ïherbs of protection (see the list in the book)
ïa photograph of the person, or their name written on a piece of paper
