Banishing Spell

This will protect without causing the person bound any harm.

Materials needed:

• black taper candles
• Alter candles
• nail
• black cloth
• red ribbon (1inch width, small spool)
• cotton
• needle
• thread
• loose tobacco
• a small mirror that can stand by itself

Fold the cloth in half and cut out a tough shape of the person you want to bind.

Make the figure large enough so that you will be able to stuff it after you have sewn
it together.

Sew the pieces of the poppet together, leaving a hole through which you can
stuff the poppet.

Fill it with cotton and tobacco, and if you have the hair or nail
clippings of the person, add those to it.

Once it is filled, sew the opening closed.
if you have a picture of the person, sew it to the front of the poppet.

Next, carve the name of the person onto the black candle with the nail. Cast a circle,
invoke the elements, God or Goddess you are working with.

Light the altar candles.
Light the black candle and adjust the mirror so that flame is reflected in the glass.

Hold the poppet out in front of you and say:

"Creature of cloth thou art,
Creature of flesh and blood you be.
I name you (name of person you are binding).
No more shall you do me harm.
No more shall you repeat false tales.
No more shall you interfere in my life, nor in the lives of my loved ones.
By the power of the Gods and by my will, So Mote it Be!"

Draw an invoking pentagram over the poppet.
Now take the ribbon and begin to wrap the poppet like a mummy,
leaving no space unwerapped. Say:

"I bind your feet from bringing harm to me. 
I bind your hands from reaching out to harm me.
I bind your mouth from spreading false tales to harm me.
I bind your mind from sending energy to harm me.
If you do so continue, let all negative energy be cast and reflected directly at you!"

Tie off the ribbon and hold the poppet in front of the mirror while you visualize all
negative energy this person has sent to you being reflected back at them.

Wrap the poppet in the black cloth and tie with another length of ribbon. Say:

"Great Mother, I have bound this person from 
harming me and my loved ones. By the powers of three times three, 
By Earth and Fire, Air and Sea, I fix this spell, then set it free.
Twill give no harm to return to me. As I will, So mote it be!"

Let the candle burn out while the poppet sits at its base, then take the poppet and
the remains of the candle far from your home and bury it deep in the ground or
toss it in the ocean and walk away without looking back. 

Make sure this is what your heart really wants before doing this spell.
