Complete Ritual for Banishment of Harm
written by:  Alexcia & Dyandra

This spell comes color coded for ease of understanding, reading and following.
  Black is narrative
  Violet is what you MUST do
  Blue is what you MUST say
This was written for a lady without an athame.  If you have one you may use it.

Cleansing the House
    1. If you haven’t already done it, clean the house thoroughly.  Have Steve and Dustin, Sue, Grandma, Uncle Henry and Aunt Polly clean their rooms, too.  Don’t forget the reptile cages!  Cat boxes!  Bird cages!  Rodent dwellings!  Dog .... !  etc.
   Have your head in the right place.  Put all thoughts out of your mind except the work at hand.  Think little on the trouble that has been brought to you.  Think more about what you are doing . . . banishing the problems and negativity sent your way while cleansing your environment and enveloping yourself (and your roommates) in protection.
    2. Take your Sage, a Holy Plant, and light it and say,  This plant is Native to this land and Holy to it’s people.  I ask the Lord and Lady to look upon this work with favor.  Blessed Be.
    3.  Take the lit Sage throughout the house, upstairs and down, every room, every closet, every cupboard.  Let smoke drift out of every window and door.
    say...
  Fire and Air, everywhere you pass.
  Let no spell nor adverse purpose last.
  All shall be in complete accord with me.
  As I will, so mote it be!
  4.  Put about 1/2 cup water in a small bowl and take 3 pinches of Sea Salt and sprinkle into the bowl.  With the first two fingers of your right hand, stir the mixture in a clockwise motion.
say...  Let this Sacred Salt drive out any impurities in this bowl of water so that they may be used together to cleanse this home. Blessed Be.
Go all around the house as with the Sage.  Sprinkle and flick droplets of Holy Water everywhere.
say... 
  Earth and Water by casting thee
  Let no spell nor adverse purpose be.
  All shall be in complete accord with me
  As I will, so mote it be!
Now it is time for Setting up the Altar and for the Ritual Bath and Purification.

Your Altar can be anything, a TV tray, a cardboard box, the pool table.  Deity doesn’t care.

Gather the things you will need.
     Protection and Happiness Candle
     The Candle of Harm and Negativity
     The Altar Candle
     3 candle holders
     A lighter, or book of matches
     An incense burner
     Crystal Sands  (opt.)
     Charcoal (1) for altar (1) for after bath or shower
     Incenses
     spoon for incense
     bowl of water (1/2 cup)
     sea salt (or plain salt - no iodine)
     bell
     Protection Oil
     heavy duty paper towel, or cloth, about 8” square
     Parchment paper  (opt)
     Quill  (opt.)  a red ink pen can be used if necessary
     Dragon’s Blood Ink  (opt.)
     Scissors
     Needle
     21” of RED thread

Now, take your shower.  Again, remember to keep your mind only on what you are doing and the work ahead.  Turn off the phone!

After your shower while you are still skyclad, light a charcoal and put it on the sands in a burner and put it on the floor.  As soon as it is ready, put some Golden Aura on it and walk through the smoke several times, over and around...always in a clockwise manner.
say...  As the water cleansed my body, let this sacred smoke cleanse my spirit. Keep repeating it while you walk through the smoke.

BEGINNING THE RITUAL

    Sit in front of your Altar facing East.
    Meditate for a moment to relax and prepare yourself for your ritual.

    While you are doing this brief meditation, envision yourself enveloped by a protecting shield of  blue/white light.  Build this vision mentally until you feel ready and comfortable.

CASTING THE CIRCLE

    Ring the Altar bell three times and stand.
say...
  As above, so below.
  As the Universe, so the soul.
  As without, so within.
  Let this Magick Rite begin!
  Light your Altar candle, and then move to the East with your lit Altar candle.
  (always move clockwise!)

Say:
  "Here in the East I bring in Light and Air. This is to illuminate my temple and bring it the breath of life. Guardians of the East, I do summon, bid and call ye.  ATTEND!"

  Light the East candle from the Altar candle, and move on to the South.

Say:
  "Here in the South I bring in Light and Fire to illuminate my temple and bring it warmth. Guardians of the South, I do summon, bid and call ye.  ATTEND!"

  Light the South candle from the Altar candle, and move on to the West.

Say:
  "Here in the West I bring in Light and Water to illuminate my temple and wash it clean. Guardians of the West, I do summon, bid and call ye.  ATTEND!"

  Light the West candle from the Altar candle, and move on to the North.

Say:
  "Here in the North I bring in Light and Earth to illuminate my temple and bring it strength.  Guardians of the North, I do summon, bid, and call ye.  ATTEND!"

  Light the North candle from the Altar candle, and return to the Altar.

Replace the Altar candle and Move to the East quarter. Point your first two fingers of your right hand down so that you "see" the edge of the circle off of the point of fingers.

Concentrate all of your energies down through your arm and hand. Let the energy be released out of the tips of your fingers and move around the circle deosil  (clockwise) "drawing" the circumference of the circle with the energy flowing from your hand.  Go completely around the circle, finishing in the East before returning to the Altar.

Stand again in front of the Altar, hold your right hand over the Altar, and the Altar bell in your left hand.  Ring the bell three times and replace it on the altar.

Put the tip of your finger into the dish of salt and say:
   "As salt is life, let it purify me in all ways that I may use it.  Let it cleanse my body and spirit as I use it in this rite dedicated to the Goddess for my good." 

Take three pinches of the salt from the dish and drop them one at a time into the dish of water.  Stir the water deosil (clockwise) with your finger and say:
  "Let this sacred salt drive out any impurities in this water so they may be used together in the service of the Goddess - throughout these rites, and at any time and any way I choose to use them."

Take the bowl of salt water, begin in the East, and sprinkle the water around the circle, finishing again in the East.
say...
  Earth and Water, by casting thee
  Let no spell nor adverse purpose be.
  ALL shall be in complete accord with me.
  As I will, so mote it be!

Return the bowl of Holy Water to the Altar. Pick up your censure, and go around the circle beginning in the East and ending in the East, drawing your circle with the smoke.
say...
  Fire and Air, wherever you pass
  Let no trouble or negativity last.
  ALL shall be in complete accord with me!
  As I will, so mote it be!

Return your censure to the Altar.  Use the Protection Oil and mark a cross with a circle around it over your third eye.

Dip your finger into the Holy Water and draw a pentagram over your heart.

say...   "I consecrate myself in the name of the Goddess and bid Her welcome to my temple."

Move again to the East and with your arm and hand extended draw a pentagram in the air over the East candle while letting your energy flow down your arm through your hand.
Say:
  "Angel of Air, I do summon you to witness this rite and guard this circle.  Powers of air, protect me as I journey between worlds."

Move to the South.  Draw a pentagram in the air over the South candle while letting your energy flow down your arm through your hand.
Say:
  "Angel of Fire, I do summon you to witness this rite and guard this circle.  Powers of fire, protect me as I journey between worlds."

Move to the West.  Draw a pentagram in the air over the West candle while letting your energy flow down your arm through your hand.
Say:
  "Angel of Water, I do summon you to witness this rite and guard this circle.  Powers of water, protect me as I journey between worlds."

Move to the North.  Draw a pentagram in the air over the North candle while letting your energy flow down your arm through your hand.
Say:
  "Angel of Earth, I do summon you to witness this rite and guard this circle.  Powers of Earth, protect me as I journey between worlds."

Return to the altar, and raise your arms up high and say:
  "I hail the four quarters and the God and Goddess. I invite the Lord and Lady and welcome them to witness this rite I hold in their honor for my good."

Continue to hold your arms up high and say:
  "This circle is now cast and I am between the worlds.  I am beyond the bounds of time, where night and day, birth and death, joy and sorrow meet as one."

  Replenish the incense on your altar.
  Ring your bell 3 times.
  Light your candle.  Think about the protection it will bring to you.
  Light the negative candle.  Feel the evil and know that you are in the process of banishing it!

Say a short impromptu prayer for guidance in the work you are about to do.

Binding spell using a poppet:
  Use a heavy duty paper towel or piece of cloth about 8” square.

Concentrate on binding “getting rid of” the person who is doing harm to you while you are working.  Chant , “Any person, known or unknown to me,directing harm my way be shall be bound by this spell.” again and again and again and . . .  You may change the words as long as they don’t loss their impact.

Take a paper towel  and draw a large gingerbread man outline on it.  Draw lines on the hand part indicating fingers;  draw 2 circles for eyes and a mouth that is open.
Thread a needle with 21 inches of red thread.
Now Chant , “Any person, known or unknown to me, directing harm my way be shall be bound by this thread.”  over and over as you...

Sew the eyes & mouth of the poppet closed.  Wrap remaining thread around poppet, pinning the arms & hands to the body. 

Remember to raise your cone of energy and direct it towards the person(s) known or unknown, who is doing projecting harm before you clear your circle.  To do that...

Go into meditation.  Chant,  “keep away harm, keep away trouble” with your arms at your side to begin.  Raise arms very slowly with hands closed, when arms are straight up say loudly, “KEEP AWAY HARM !  KEEP AWAY TROUBLE!” and open both hands at same time releasing your energy.

Wrap the poppet in a black cloth.

Thank the God and Goddess for being with you.
Thank the Angels for attending and watching over you.

Go again to the East and draw the Circle BACKWARDS.  East, North, West, South, and finish in the East.  Release the Guardians of the Quarters and thank them for guarding your Sacred Circle.  Be sure to tell them firmly, to return to their homes and harm none on the way.  Return to the Altar counterclockwise.  Put out Altar Candle.  Leave the other two burning until they are gone (whenever you are in attendance).
Say, “The Circle is open, yet unbroken.  Blessed Be!”

Store your ‘poppet’ undisturbed in a dark place.  (back of closets work well) or if you have no place to store the poppet, bury it in the earth as far away from your home as possible.  Near, but not touching, your Witch’s Bottle would be excellent.

As long as the binding remains in place, the person will be bound from causing you harm.

Take the dish of Holy Water and pour just a little down every drain and toilet in the house. saying...  “Keep away harm, keep away evil!  As I will, so mote it be!”


That’s it.  If you need it, we wish you success!  Blessed Be!
