5 Spiritual Spells from Children of the sacred circle

During the waning moon. Use a brown candle (an image candle, if you can) to represent the person who is harassing you. Write the person's name on the front and back of the candle. On a small piece of parchment paper, write:

"From now on, (name) will say nothing but sweet words about me and to me. By the power of Aradia, so mote it be!"

Put a drop of honey in the middle of the paper and roll it into a ball. Heat a knife, pin or your athame, make a gash in the candle (in its mouth, if it's an image candle) and stuff the paper ball into it. Let the candle burn a little while every night for an odd number of nights, to a maximum of nine nights. Throw the remnants into flowing water, but save some candle drippings or ash to sprinkle in the path of your oppressor.

Do this spell at midnight on a Saturday of a waning moon (a period of time between a full moon and a new moon, the light is decreasing. The opposite is the waxing moon, when the moon is moving from a new moon to a full). Set the candles in a big triangle shape, big enough so that you can sit in the middle. Light the candles. Write the bully's name on the paper, and draw an "X" over it. Fold it three times. Say:

"I bind you (say their name) so that you cannot hurt me anymore, both physically, and emotionally. Get out of my life, leave me alone. I bind you (say name) I bind you."

Then tie the thread around the folded paper, and pop it in the jar. Screw on the lid. Snuff out the candles (never, NEVER blow out candles after a spell, it pushes the magic away). The next day, bury the jar off you property, or you can hide it in a closet where it will not be found. If the black candles you used are small enough, you can put them in the jar (do this at the end of the spell, not after you have screwed the lid on). If not, burn them later until there is nothing left of them.

Start by mixing water and salt, two elements of magic. Consecrate them. Use garlic,salt and add powdered rosemary if you need to clear out ghosts or spirits. Begin at the main entrance of the house or apartment. Sprinkle some of the consecrated water by dipping your fingers in it and making the sign of the pentacle. Say:

"Evil shall leave but not enter. "

Use a firm voice.

Make it a commandment, with all of your power behind it. Proceed counterclockwise through the house, repeating the procedure in every corner of each room, at all the windows, doors and mirrors. Don't forget telephones, computers with active modems, fax machines, intercoms, and televisions that are connected to the Internet. It doesn't hurt to do the mailbox, too. Make the downward pentacle, with your left hand, if this feels right to you. Or the upward pentacle with your right hand. Either will work. Repeat the spell annually, or whenever you feel in need of it.
