BINDING JAR SPELL #1

I don't usually perform or recommend rituals and spells that manipulate the will of others, but a Wiccan friend reminded me of the difference between revenge magick and protective magick.

I will intervene when someone is committing violent harmful and dangerous acts against others. Sometimes people in violent relationships are unable to think clearly and may require help from someone close to them to loosen the stronghold over their lives. The tricky part of a spell like this one is the person against whom the violence is committed must genuinely want it to end. Surprisingly, this is not always the case.

ITEMS NEEDED

• Photo of the person to be bound or a piece of white parchment paper with their whole name written on it in black ink for dove's blood ink.

• 18" of black silken cord

• Small glass jar with corked lid

• Small white candle

• Small black candle

WHAT TO DO

• Light both candles.

• Write the name on the paper hold the photograph in your hand. Fold the paper or photo into as small a rectangle as possible.

• Begin to wind the cord around the rectangle, making complete loops 9 times.

• Say aloud in a clear and strong voice:

I (Your Name), bind thee (Target's Name) from causing harm to (Victim's Name), from exerting control over this person, and from influencing this person. I bind you from making further plans with this person. I call upon the angels, Auriel, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael to assist me in this righteous cause. As I will, so mote it be.

• Place the paper or photo into the jar. Urinate into the jar and cork it. Seal all around the cork with black candle wax.

• Allow candles to burn out completely. Place the jar in a place where no one will disturb it. If possible, bury it, or place it on your altar where you can regularly send energy into it.

Energy in a room can be affected and thrown off by seemingly meaningless things.

Herbs and spices burning bright, use your smoke to set things right. Remove all remnants of bad news,Fill up with good energy ready to use. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And so it is.

ROOM BLESSING (WHILE PAINTING)

Redecorating one's home is often a labor of love and delight. Feeling out space for the placement of new furniture. Picking out new colors and textures for walls, ceilings, and furnishings.

It's okay to repeat words.

5. Place the figurine on the paper. Sprinkle the paper and swan with the dried lavender aned chamomile. Allow them to remain in place for at least one hour.
