🕯️🌿 banishing spell to break someone’s hold over you 🌿🕯️

I’m in a time of transition right now, and as I’m going through all of these big changes, I realized that I was being held back by certain unresolved relationships in my past. I designed this spell as a way of letting go of those people and freeing myself of their influences, so that I can move forward without all this emotional baggage. 

What You Will Need:

a small black candle (used for banishing negative influences)

a piece of paper with the name of the person or thing you want to let go of written on it

sage (for cleansing and purification)

an obsidian stone (associated with psychic cleansing, protection, grounding, and personal transformation) (side note: this is also one of my favorite stones to meditate with!) 

Optional Components: 

fresh or dried basil (wards off negativity, promotes love and happiness, and is associated with peace in many cultures)

a selenite crystal (an extremely powerful cleansing stone, especially for cleansing emotional energies)

a rose quartz crystal (associated with forgiveness, healing, and compassion) (if you don’t have rose quartz, I would recommend using a pink spell candle to bring the energy of compassion and forgiveness into the spell.)

I had two different people I wanted to let go of, so I had two black candles and two pieces of paper. Ordinarily, you should just need one of everything.

Note: This ritual involves setting objects on fire. For this reason, I recommend performing it outside.

Casting the Spell:

Begin by getting yourself into the right mood for magic.  Maybe meditate for a few minutes, put on some instrumental music, burn your favorite incense, etc. 

Take a moment to ground and center yourself. 

Cleanse your space. You can do this by lighting your sage and wafting its smoke around yourself, your tools, and your general area. Close your eyes, inhale the smoke, and feel yourself being cleansed and blessed. 

Light your black candle. As you do so, begin thinking about the person or thing you want to let go of, of the effect they have had on your life, and of the reason(s) you need to be free of their influence.

Take the piece of paper with the person or thing’s name written on it, and hold it over the candle flame. PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF. Hold the paper over the flame only long enough for it to light, and then set it down on the ground. It should continue to burn.

As you watch the paper burn, recite the following incantation: “[Name]’s hold over me is broken. He/she/they/it has no power over me. I am free of his/her/their/its influence.” 

Repeat this incantation as many times as feels right to you. If you follow my blog, you know that I like to work with the number nine in my magic, so I repeated it nine times.

Allow yourself to feel all of the pain and frustration that this person or thing has caused in your life. Acknowledge these feelings – they are a normal and valid part of our emotional healing process, but they are no longer serving you. You have passed the phase in healing where they are useful. Focus on these feelings for a moment, and then let them go. Feel them being carried away from you, leaving you free of their weight.

If you chose to include basil, use the candle’s flame to light it. Watch the smoke rise and smell its sweet aroma. Feel peace and happiness flowing into you to replace all the pain you’ve just let go of. (Again, be careful not to burn yourself!)

Once you feel at peace, blow out your black candle to end the ritual. I find that with banishings and other “letting go” or “getting rid of” spells, it’s best not to prolong the spell any longer than necessary. Do what you need to do, and then end the ritual. Don’t give these negative influences any more or your time and attention than you absolutely have to.

Light your sage again, and do one final cleansing of yourself and your space. This will make sure that you are cleared of any lingering negativity, and I feel like it kind of just puts a “final seal” on the powerful cleansing you’ve just done. 

This spell is all about your healing and personal growth. It’s not about removing the other person from your life, or wishing any harm on them – it is simply a way of cutting the ties that allow them to control you. Because of this, I find that this spell works best after the person or thing you want to let go of is no longer a part of your life, and after you’ve had some time to process your emotions and allow yourself to grieve. Pain has its place, and sometimes we need to allow ourselves to feel it instead of trying to get rid of it immediately.

🔮Cutting Ties🔮

A spell to sever old relationships

Note: This is not a curse, or an ill-intended spell. This is best used to help “let go” of someone who is no longer in your life.

You will need:

🔮red or white thread/string

🔮taglocks representing you and the other person

🔮a black candle

🔮equal parts rosemary, sweet grass, and sage

🔮a bowl of moon water

🔮a fire safe container

🔮a biodegradable container (such as an envelope)

1. Light your candle. Sit quietly and focus on the candle flame. Think about the relationship between you and the other person- all the good and the bad.

2. Take the taglock representing the other person, and wrap it in your string. Tie a knot to secure it.

3. Tie the other end of the string around your taglock, effectively binding them together.

4. Set your ties taglocks aside, and place your herbs in the fire safe container. Light them, and allow them to burn completely to ash. During this time, continue to think about the relationship between you two- this time really focusing on how it ended.

5. Take the taglocks, and hold the middle of the thread over the flame of your candle. As the flame burns through the string say:

“Our bond released

Our time is past

You have no ties to me”

6. Place the taglocks and thread into your envelope, and add the ashes from your burned herbs.

7. Bury the envelope in the earth, or in a pot of soil. Pour the moon water on top to seal the spell.

Note: I recommend using all biodegradable materials in this spell- including the taglocks. Feel free to replace the envelope with anything else that will decompose naturally: eggshells, banana peels, etc. The decomposition is key to this spell, and when the process is finished the ties between you will be totally gone.

what to put in your grimoire/book of shadows

common topics in a grimoire:

wheel of the year.

crystal, herb, candle, colour, etc correspondences.

a good book for this is Grimoire for the Green Witch by Ann Moura (approx $35 CAD). x to buy. very useful even if you aren’t that interested in green witchcraft. covers a wide variety of topics. there’s a site where you can download the pdf, but i’m not sure if it’s reliable so i’m not linking it.

deities and deity work.

some uncommon topics for your grimoire:

hair veiling vid

astral projection.

spirit work: even if you aren’t interested in trying it, it’s good to research, for safety purposes.

the fae: for the same reason as above. it’s good to know even if you don’t plan on working with them.

notes on how your feeling during different moon phases. lots of people overlook this, but full moons and new moons especially can mess with your mood. it varies from person to person. i usually feel more spiritual on full moons and on new moons i feel unmotivated.

different KINDS of meditations: releasing fears, past lives, unguided ones and guided ones, nature based, etc.

amulets and totems.

reading tea leaves.

x

pouches/satchels and spell jars. such a simple form of spell crafting but so many people overlook it. i like it more than verbal ones because my mind processes visuals better, and it feels more natural to me.

divination symbolism. so many people research and learn how to find images in things but never really look into what they find.

aaaaaaa cuteeeeee

Adora was kinda right. A ponytail is a tail! U,ù

I guess when they were little, Adora and Catra used to play wrestling some times…and this scene came up. But I was sad to portray them as they argued, so I made a second image where they have care for each other’s “tail”.

CUTE I love the facial expressions!!

Sometimes you just gotta bond with your mom by being massive nerds together while trying to decode the weird symbols that were left behind after your ex's friend got kidnapped by a weird superhero cult.

(Id: a digital drawing of Adam and Rebecca Hayes standing in their kitchen while Rebecca looks at Adam's phone. Rebecca is a short black woman with glasses and her hair in twists that are pulled back in a bun. She is holding Adam's phone up and studying it with a tense expression. Adam is a young biracial man with freckles and dark curly hair that is pulled up in a manbun at the top of his head. He is wearing a tshirt with grey and white stripes and a watch on his wrist.)
