Simple Banishing Spell

A Simple Banishing Spell

By: Laughing Fox

This spell is a simple form of banishing a person from your life but also works with other entities. 

Wait for a rainy day or night . It should be a good hard rain. If this is impractical than doing the spell in the shower should suffice. 

Find a picture of the person you wish to banish or a picture representing the entity. The point of the picture is to be destroyed. It is best if it is a picture printed on regular paper.

Put the picture in a bowl and go out into the rain. Let it was over you and as it does, imagine the person being washed out of your life. Imagine their influence being rinsed away. Imagine them being completely washed away as the picture disintegrates in the rain. As you watch the picture dissolve, say the following:

"As the rain washes the earth clean, let it also wash me clean of your vile deeds. (Name of person or entity), I hereby banish you from my life. Past this realm. Past the after realms. I banish you! I banish you! I banish you! You are here to torment me no more!"

As the picture disappears, take the water in the bowl and any remaining bits of paper and throw them outside. Turn around and don't look back. It is done.


(Please remember basic safety when performing this spell. Do not go outside in a lightning storm. Do not stand under tall trees while lightning is in the area. Always err on the side of caution.)

Sage ~Used traditionally in purification rituals. Promotes wisdom and protection. Burn while studying.

A word about herbs: Herbs should never be burned, eaten, or used by those with allergies to them. If you have an allergy to one or more of the above herbs, my suggestion is to just stay away from them all together. Herbs should be burned in a commercial incense burner on a heat proof service and with plenty of ventilation, only!! Never burn herbs in an enclosed room. They can create a lot of smoke! Never ingest a plant unless you know it's safe.

A Simple Money Spell

A Simple Money Spell

(By Laughing Fox)

Find a gold or silver candle and carve a dollar sign into it. Anoint it with patchouli oil. Light the candle and say:

"Wealth of measure I don't need;

But the collector's call I must heed.

Send me what I need for now;

To stay the tax man on the hound.

Gold and silver send their way;

And relieve my burden for this day."

Envision your bills being paid in full and having enough funds to see you through this time.  Let the candle burn down all the way.

Patchouli is commonly used in prosperity spells. It's typically an inexpensive oil. If unavailable, raw or oil forms of Almond, Basil, Cedar, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Clove, Dill, Mint, Oats, Pine, Vetivert or Wheat can be substituted. Any other color of candle that seems appropriate to you can also be used in place of gold or silver. Burning candles should never be left unattended.

Anti Nightmare Spell

Simple Spell to Repel Nightmares

(By Laughing Fox)

Gather a small square of either white or purple cloth, (About 3x3 inches) and a length of purple cord (At least a foot and a half long), a small piece of amethyst, some dried lavender, and your favorite incense. (What ever kind you use to relax.)

In a heat proof container, light the incense and take a few moments to breath it in and relax. Then take the square of cloth and place the lavender and amethyst in the center. Bring the four corners together so that the cloth becomes a pouch. Tie the cord around the pouch to secure it. As you do, chant:

"Bring me dreams of joy and peace;

To ease my mind and let me sleep.

But if come dreams of pain and fright;

Send them back into the night."

Repeat this chant until the incense has burned down. Tie the pouch to your bed post or place the pouch under your pillow. (Note: Make sure the pouch is bound together tightly!)

It is best to perform this spell when in a relaxed state of mind and in a place quiet place where you will not be disturbed or stressed. Catnip works well as a substitute for lavender.
