If you’re looking to distance yourself from toxic individuals or unwanted influences, this simple but powerful spell can help create a protective barrier and keep those who bring negativity or harm away from your life.
What You’ll Need:
- Black candle (symbolizing protection and banishment)
- A piece of paper and a black pen
- Salt (for protection)
- Sage or palo santo (for cleansing)
- A fireproof dish or cauldron
- A small mirror (optional, for reflective protection)
Instructions:
- Create a Sacred Space:
Find a quiet, private area where you won’t be disturbed. Cleanse the space by burning sage or palo santo, allowing the smoke to purify the area. You can also sprinkle salt around the area to create a protective circle. - Set Your Intention:
Hold the black candle in your hands and take a moment to focus on your intention—keeping away those who bring harm, negativity, or unwanted energy into your life. Say aloud or silently, “I release those who bring negativity, and I protect myself from their energy. They are no longer welcome in my space.” - Write Their Name:
On the piece of paper, write the name of the person or people you want to keep away. If you don’t know their name, you can write something like “those who mean me harm” or “negative influences.” - Light the Candle:
Light the black candle, and as it burns, visualize a strong protective barrier forming around you—one that keeps negativity and unwanted energy at bay. - Burn the Paper:
Fold the paper with the name(s) or description of the people you want to keep away. Hold it over the candle’s flame and carefully burn it, dropping it into the fireproof dish or cauldron. As it burns, say:
“With this flame, I release you from my life. May your energy no longer touch me. As this paper turns to ash, so do your ties to me dissolve.” - Seal the Spell with Salt:
Once the paper has completely burned, sprinkle a pinch of salt into the fireproof dish over the ashes and say:
“I am protected by the power of this salt. No harm shall come my way, and no negativity shall remain.” - Optional—Use the Mirror for Reflective Protection:
If you have a small mirror, place it near the candle, facing outward. Visualize it reflecting any negative energy away from you and back to where it came from. This adds an extra layer of protection. - Close the Ritual:
Let the black candle burn down completely, or snuff it out if necessary, thanking the protective forces for their assistance. Dispose of the ashes and remnants by either burying them far away from your home or throwing them in the trash outside your property.
Final Words:
After completing the spell, you should feel a sense of protection and relief. This spell works best when performed during the waning moon, a time for banishing and letting go, but it can be performed at any time if you feel the need for immediate protection.
Remember: This spell is designed to create boundaries and remove toxic people from your life. It is always important to approach spellwork with a clear and focused intention, ensuring you’re seeking only what is just and fair.
