A Binding Spell

DESCRIPTION:
     A "last resort" spell designed to take away negative influences in others - that is, to render another person harmless. If someone wishes you harm, is using Magick against you, or is trying to harm you in some way, this MAY be a solution.

COMPONENTS:
     1 Large mason jar full of soil, with lid
     1 photograph of the subject
     1 long piece of white thread
     1 black candle

PREPARATION:
     Fill the jar with soil. Cast your circle and prepare ritual space as always. Announce your intent to rid your life of a negative person's influence.

PROCEDURE:
     Light the black candle and concentrate on the picture. visualize the picture moving, as if the subject were actually living INSIDE the photograph.

Begin to wrap the white string slowly around the picture in a banishing, or Widdershins (Counter-clockwise) fashion. While wrapping, let your mind reach out and touch the picture. Begin chanting. Let the subject HEAR the chant and KNOW you are binding them. Address the subject as if you were speaking directly to them...
 
          "With harm to nnoe, my will be done
           I hereby bind you [NAME]
           Your words cannot harm me
           Your thoughts cannot harm me
           YOU cannot harm me!"
 
     When the picture has been wrapped thirteen times, and the chant has been repeated thirteen times, tie it off and bury it deep within soil in the mason jar. Make sure no light touches the photograph. Cap the lid on tight and seal it with three drops of melted wax from the black candle. Bury it immediately in the Earth and forget about it. The subject will never bother you again, unless you seek them out, or the jar is somehow unearthed.
