Getting someone (or something) to leave you alone can be a difficult feat. When you’ve tried everything else, a banishing spell might be your best bet. Whether you need space from an annoying classmate or to rid yourself of a pesky spirit, we’ve got a spell for you. While they’re not based on science, magical traditions have relied on spells for centuries. Keep reading to find 7 ways to banish negative energy and cleanse your space.

Things You Should Know

  • Burn herbs in every room of your home to clear negative energies.
  • Write the name of who you want to banish on a piece of paper, then burn it.
  • Get rid of the ashes by burying them at a crossroads, scattering them in the wind, or throwing them out in a distant trashcan.

Fire Banishing

  1. Open all the doors and windows and light a bundle of sage, palo santo , or lavender—all herbs renowned for their cleansing abilities—to smudge your house . Walk through your home with the herbs and let the smoke touch every space and corner before snubbing the herbs in a fireproof bowl. [1]
    • White sage is a great cleanser, but almost everything on the market has been illegally harvested from indigenous (Native American) land. If you want to use this herb, consider growing the sage yourself.
    • Pay extra attention to highly trafficked areas, like bathrooms, hallways, and doorways, as they can trap extra energy.
  2. Light the paper over the fireproof bowl and throw it in. While it’s burning, think of the relief you’ll feel after the person is gone from your life.
    • These spells are meant to be done without the intention of hurting someone else. If you’re being bullied or harassed by someone, seek external help to get them to stop .

  3. To complete the spell and remove the energy from yourself entirely, bury the ashes at a crossroads, scatter them in the wind, or just throw them away in a distant trashcan. [2]
    • Wait until the ashes are entirely cool to dispose of them.
    • Burying something at a crossroads symbolically disperses the energy, while throwing something to the wind takes it far away.
  4. After the ritual is over, leave your shoes at the door and refresh yourself with a shower. This is thought to help prevent the negative energy from clinging to you. Light a white candle , symbolizing protection, and repeat positive affirmations, such as “I am at peace” or “[Person] is gone from my life”.

Commanding Spell

  1. Open the doors and windows of your home to allow negative energies to disperse. Light incense or a smudging stick and walk through your home, taking care that the smoke gets into every corner.
    • Good herbs to use for cleansing are sage, palo santo, and lavender.
  2. Sometimes all you need to clear negative energy is to just ask! Light a black candle and tell the energy to leave your home. For example, say: “It’s time for you to move on; this is no place for you.” [3]
    • Black is associated with banishment and is often used in these kinds of rituals.
  3. Let yourself be washed with relief and peace, and visualize what your life will be like after the energy is banished. Meditate on this feeling until the candle burns out. [4]
    • The flame is the energetic source of this spell, so blowing it out will dampen it. Instead, let it go out by itself. If you need to extinguish it for safety reasons, use a candle snuffer or a large glass to smother the flame.
  4. Salt is considered a purifying agent in many magical practices. By lining the entryways to your home with salt, you create a protective barrier (so nothing comes back in!).
    • This spell is on the lower end of potency and best used for minor problems.

Edge Burning Spell

  1. Use a black candle (for banishment) to singe the edges of the paper. Burn as much as you can, all the way up to the name, if possible.
    • To keep everything safe, burn the paper over a fireproof bowl.
  2. Whether you’re being micromanaged or someone has an unrequited love for you, use your mind to tell the person what you want to happen. Say something like: “I am burning away the feelings you have for me.” [5]
  3. If you’re in the same space as this person regularly, like at work or school, you’ll probably not be able to get rid of them entirely. Instead, this spell acts as a ward to keep them minding their own business around you. [6]
    • If you’re doing this spell for someone you don’t see in person (like an internet troll), you can combine it with the balloon spell to metaphorically send the message to them.
    • Spells are thought to work on various levels. If you’re being harassed by a stranger the spell is more likely to completely banish them than if someone is leaving mean comments on your Instagram posts. Instead, it’ll help decrease the frequency of your interactions.

Banishing Doll

  1. Lay a spell cloth out on a table and set the candles on either side. If you don’t have a spell cloth you can paint symbols like pentagrams, moon phases, and the sun on a black cloth.
    • This spell uses black candles to symbolize banishment. Since they get infused with the energy of your spell, use candles that have never been lit.
  2. Put your doll-making material between the two candles on the cloth, and start thinking about how much you want the person out of your life. Tuck a picture of them into the middle of the doll, and visualize being at peace when they’re gone.
    • Use whatever material you like, such as cloth, clay, twigs, or wax.
    • You can make this spell more powerful by adding a few guava leaves in with the photo.
  3. Give the person some encouragement to beat it by heating things up. Don’t set them on fire though, just give it a little burn on its backside. [7]
  4. Get that doll as far away as possible—for best results, bury it outside your city limits.
    • This is a stronger spell, especially with the guava leaves. Only use this if you want someone to skip town!

Balloon Banishing

  1. Burn the herbs and walk through your house, filling every nook and cranny with smoke.
  2. Be as specific as possible when you write what you want from the spell. Instead of saying “[Person] will be less disruptive in my life” say “[Person] will not send me dms anymore” or “[Person] won’t look at me at the bus stop”. [8]
  3. Fill the balloon with helium and let it go outside. [9]
    • You can combine this spell with other ones by burning the paper and putting the ashes in the balloon, just be sure to wait for them to completely cool.
  4. Imagine a weight being lifted from you, or your cares flying away. Concentrate on the feeling of relief that will come from the person’s banishment.

Banishing Sigil

  1. The pentagram calls upon the help of the five Wiccan elements, earth, water, fire, wind, and spirit. [10]
  2. When you’re done, you’ll be left with a pentagon shape with concave sides. Draw three dots between the points of each star, leading up to the pentagon.
  3. Put one dot between each set of sides. The curves of the pentagons act similarly to satellite dishes, collecting energy and directing it away from the sigil. [11]
  4. The circles, along with the pentagram, represent structures that keep the space open and free of any energies. [12]
  5. Draw the sides of the arrows with their ends curving up, like checkmarks. These arrows are representative of pushing away the energy.
  6. The dots represent energy that has been broken up and dispersed.
  7. You can dress candles , cleanse your home, or make protective barriers with this sigil. To use it in a banishing spell, carve it on a black candle and say: “Begone, clinging energies, past tasks and situations, and all that lingers after their time is up”. [13] Let the candle burn down entirely.
    • You can dress the candle further by anointing it with lemon , stinging nettle or mullien essential oils.
    • Use this spell to neutralize energy in a space or object, but never on organic beings (humans, pets, etc). [14] It’s a strong spell meant to clear the energy out of something, and doing that to a living thing can get a little funky.

Cleansing Potion

  1. This potion, fire cider, is thought to protect you from negative energy (and it’s good for your gut, too!). You need lavender, rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, turmeric, garlic, ginger, red chilies, and apple cider vinegar. [15]
    • These vegetables and herbs are thought to have magically protective qualities, but they also strengthen your immune system.
  2. Chop up everything and put it in a glass jar. Fill it with apple cider vinegar, completely covering the other ingredients.
  3. Find somewhere cool and dark, like a pantry or a cellar, and leave the jar to steep. After 3 weeks, strain the plant matter from the liquid, and you’ve got yourself a potent fire cider. [16] Take shots of the cider after each banishing ritual or whenever you need a little extra boost.
    • You can keep this potion up to two years!
