Can anyone give me advice on a spell to send back hateful and negative energy back to the persons doing it?
I have extremely hateful neighbors who are trying to get rid of me and ruin my business. Spreading horrid rumors about me. I'm not originally from this place and it's hard enough to exist here without someone trying to steal my property and oust me.
I've done the glass jar filled with sharp objects and vinegar and buried it close to my house. Read somewhere that it could help. Any more ideas? I'm losing my sanity and so tired of feeling angry to the point of possibly doing something very dangerous. Don't know what to do.
