Dear Reader,

This book was written to serve you as a guide for effectively fighting spiritual war. It is intended to be a combat manual for

aiding you in your efforts at quickly and easily winning your battles. This book was designed for all practitioners of Witchcraft in mind,

and will serve you well, regardless of the particular sect of the Craft that you personally practice.

Because there are as many Gods and Goddesses in Witchcraft as there are flowers in the world, the spells and rituals in this

book are not directed to any particular God, Goddess, or deity. I realize that we all have different preferred forms and names for our

deities during worship, so out of respect for these differences, I have composed this book to be compatible with your personal spiritual

beliefs. There are a few select spells within this book that do call upon the aid of spirits, such as the Spirit of Fire. These particular spells

employ aspects of your own Gods and Goddesses, rather than a specific deity. Each deity will have aspects of Earth, Air, Fire, and

Water within them, and these are the aspects that we will be working with in this book, rather than the deities themselves.

Regardless of the deities that you prefer to use in your own worship and spell-craft, the information within this book will be well-

suited to serve your needs; however, if you feel the need to incorporate your own deities into the spells, ceremonies, and rituals in this

book, you can easily do so by simply asking your God and Goddess for assistance before your Magical workings, and thanking them for

their assistance once you have completed your spell, ceremony, or ritual.

I urge you to use this book cautiously, and read it in its entirety before proceeding with casting any of the spells found within. By

using this book as a secret weapon against your opponents, you have made the playing field tilt in your favor, thus you should keep your

opponent ignorant of your use of such a weapon. Dont flaunt your advantages, and guard your secrets closely. I wish you the best of

luck in combat, and may you always be the victor.

Sincerely,

Dawn Flowers

CHAPTER 1

IntroductionWhat is a Witch War

General StepsInvolved in a Witch War

Good & Evil

Chances are, since you decided you need to read this book, you are already at least a little familiarwith the hostile actions that can occur within groups of witches. Sadly, with the growing popularity ofWitchcraft, comes a growth of mischief with the power it brings. When I owned an occult shop manyyears back, I could not keep up with the many Witch Wars that occurred amongst my patrons. Itseemed as if everyday someone new would walk in with a complaint about having been cursed byanother witch.

What is a Witch War?A Witch War is simply a cursing match between two or more witches. These Wars can consist

of one witch against another witch, or a group/ coven against another group/coven. Ive lived inseveral different cities, and everywhere Ive been, they never fail to occur. Usually, these Wars occurbetween individuals and very small groups. For example, you will have two people, who dislikeeach other for some reason or another, who will begin cursing each other back and forth. Also, smallgroups of friends will begin cursing another small group of people that they dislike for some reasonor another. A Coven cursing another coven is less popular, but I have seen it happen all too often.

General StepsI have had many people involved in these cursing matches approach me for advice. The advice

I gave, and continue to give is usually the same, regardless of why they were cursed, or why they havebeen implicated in a Witch War. The steps one needs to take in order to rectify the damage done is thesame regardless of the motives for the initial cursing. First, you need to cleanse yourself of allnegativity. Second, you need to protect yourself from future attacks. Third, you need to bind yourattacker from future cursing. Fourth, which is an optional step, you may want to cause damage to yourattacker by cursing him or her in return. These steps can be simplified and remembered easily assuch: Cleanse Protect Bind Attack.

The first two steps, Cleanse and Protect, are defensive measures that are extremely necessary toperform if you are concerned with your personal safety. The last two steps, Bind and Attack are stepsthat you may want to take in order to debilitate your opponents magical abilities and cause him or herto suffer as you have. These steps will be discussed in depth in a moment.

Involved in a Witch WarThere are an unlimited number of reasons that would cause a person to become involved in a

Witch War. Many times, becoming involved may not be voluntary and the afflicted person may nothave done anything to deserve these hostile actions. A person may have a boyfriend or girlfriend thatsomeone else wants as his or her own. A person may be jealous of another person for any number ofreasons. One coven may be against another coven. Someone may have stolen an object from anotherperson. A person may have spoken ill of another person. The list of reasons one would become

involved in a Witch War can range from petty and insignificant, to extremely valid and genuine. Using Magic has often times been compared to using a gun. You can use it for protection, or to

hunt food, or you can use it as an active means of aggression to hurt and kill people. Either way, thegun will be doing harm to someone or something. Since there arent a whole lot of uses for guns, as itis a destructive tool, and the end result will be blood loss, I prefer to compare Magic to money. Oneperson may spend his money on food. Another may spend his money on cocaine. It depends on theintent of the person using the money. Magic, like money, carries with it power. It is the individualthat decides how to use it, and it is that individuals motives that make the action moral or immoral.

Good & EvilThe will of the person is what makes the Magic good or evil. The same can be said for cursing

in particular. The same curse performed by two different people can be categorized as good or evil,depending on the circumstances. For example, lets say that we have two people, named John andJason. John and Jason do not know each other, and live on opposite sides of the world. John andJason perform the same curse on two different people. John curses a man named Tony, while Jasoncurses a man named Mike. John and Jason have two entirely different reasons for cursing Tony andMike. Johns daughter was raped by Tony and was released from prison, and is now stalking hisdaughter. Jason, on the other hand, curses Mike because Mike said Jason was an asshole for notlending him twenty bucks. If you narrow down the motives for cursing, you can usually categorize themotives as serious or petty. While the above example is pretty easy to figure out, sometimes it maynot be as black and white. Situations tend to get complicated and often the original motive is lost in apond of miniscule motives.

CHAPTER 2

A Word of CautionRepercussionsWiccan BeliefsWiccan Rede

Before proceeding with cursing a person, I would recommend that you examine your own motives forcursing, and proceed only if you feel they are serious and worthy. Dont waste your magical energyon petty situations. If you feel you need to address the situation, but feel it is too petty to deserve acurse, then you may only want to opt for a binding spell, which in some situations will be much betterthan an actual curse. A little binding goes a long way.

RepercussionsCursing, like anything else in life, can have repercussions. Most Witches who adhere to a

religious philosophy will have guidelines in their life that address the issue of cursing. Theseguidelines will differ from one Witchcraft sect to another and will vary from one coven to another. Wiccans (people who practice and adhere to the religious philosophy of Wicca) in particular haveextremely strict rules and guidelines regarding any, and all forms of cursing. Wiccans do not permitany form of cursing, and maintain that if a curse is performed, then the curse will return, magnified, tothe person who performed it. For example, if you curse someone, then according to Wiccan belief, thecurse will return to you, except it will be three times worse. So, if you curse someone to break theirarm, then you might expect to end up in a body cast, or worse.

It is not my intention to spend the bulk of this book trying to talk you out of cursing someone. You are going to do what you want, and I respect that. I do however want you to be informed aboutthe various beliefs on the subject of cursing and possible harm it could do to you. I personally feelthat some people deserve to be cursed, just like some people deserve to be locked up in prison, andsome people deserve to die on death row. This doesnt mean that I condone going around cursingpeople left and right, it simply means that I believe there is a time and place for everything, evencursing.

Wiccan BeliefsWiccans believe that under no circumstances should someone curse. They contend that cursing

is a violation of the Wiccan Rede, which I have included in this book for you to read, if you sodesire. The Wiccan Rede has become a religious doctrine of sorts within the last few years and it isprized and respected as a holy work by many practitioners of Wicca. The Rede mentions TheThreefold Law, also known as the Rule of Three, which translates into your Magic coming back toyou in multiples of three. For example if you curse, you will be afflicted with negativity three timesworse than what you sent out. On the same note, if you heal people, you will be rewarded withpositive occurrences in your life.

Wiccans take the contents of the Rede and the advice it contains very seriously and it is notusually disputed within strict Wiccan covens. The rules set forth within the Rede against cursing,therefore, are non-negotiable. If you are a practicing Wiccan, and you have found yourself within a

Witch War, and are using this book as a means of doing battle, then I would strongly suggest yourefrain from any suggestions of cursing. I would recommend that you use the information given onCleansing and Protection to combat any Witch War you may be engaged in. Often, Cleansing andProtective measures are all that are needed to remove and prevent further negativity from befallingyou. The issue of Binding is a gray area, and you may want to use caution if you are consideringBinding as a means of offensive Magic. Most Wiccan groups or covens will also prohibit Bindingsthat are performed upon another person because it is seen as a form of manipulating someone otherthan you. Although, I have encountered Wiccan groups who approve of binding, only if the binding isused as a form of protection. If you are part of a Wiccan group or coven, I would suggest that youdiscuss these limitations among the group and find out what is acceptable and what is not. If you area solitary practitioner, then I would recommend that you make the decision for yourself afterevaluating the motives for performing the binding and the outcome of your binding. In most cases,however, the bindings found within this book are going to be assertive forms of protection used tolimit someones ability to do harm to you personally. In these cases, most Wiccan sects are going tofind them acceptable forms of Magic, so you shouldnt fret the subject too long if you are afraid ofgoing against the rules of Wicca.

For those interested, I have included the extended version of the Wiccan Rede for you below. While the author is considered unknown, this extended version of the poem is attributed to AdrianaPorter, the Grandmother of Lady Gwen Thompson, who submitted the poem to Green Egg Magazine,where it appeared as part of an article titled Wiccan-Pagan Potpourri in Volume III, No. 69 (Ostara1975).

Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan Laws we mustIn perfect Love and Perfect Trust.

Live and let live,Fairly take and fairly give.Cast the Circle thrice aboutTo keep the evil spirits out.To bind the spell every time

Let the spell be spake in rhyme.Soft of eye and light of touch,

Speak little, listen much.Deosil go by the waxing moon,Chanting out the Witches' Rune.

Widdershins go by the waning-moon,Chanting out the baneful rune.When the lady's moon is new.

Kiss the hand to her, times two.When the moon rides at her peak,

Then your heart's desire seek.Heed the North wind's mighty gale,

Lock the door and drop the sail.When the wind comes from the South,

Love will kiss thee on the mouth.When the wind blows from the West,

Departed souls will have no rest.When the wind blows from the East,

Expect the new and set the feast.Nine woods in the cauldron go,

Burn them fast and burn them slow.Elder be the Lady's tree,

Burn it not or cursed you'lll be.When the Wheel begins to turn,

Let the Beltane fires burn.

When the Wheel has turned to Yule,Light the logs and Horned one rules.

Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree,By the Lady, blessed be.

When the rippling waters go,Cast a stone and truth you'll know.

When ye have a true need,Hearken not to other's greed.With a fool no season spend,

Lest ye be counted as his friend.Merry meet and merry part,

Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.Mind the Threefold Law you should,

Three times bad and three times good.When misfortune is enow,

Wear the blue star on thy brow.True is love ever be,

Lest thy lover's false to thee.Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:"An' Harm ye none, do as you will."

Understanding Witch WarsStarting a Witch War

Psychosomatic CursesCeremonial & Spell Craft Curses

Non-Cursing Magic

Starting a Witch War

A Witch War must begin with a curse. For every person who has been cursed, there is a personon the other side of the situation who is doing the cursing. Someone always has to start the WitchWar, or else there would be no war to begin with. People do not generally start out with the intentionsof starting a cursing match with another person, but if the person being cursed is a witch, and they findout that they have been cursed, it is not unreasonable to assume that they will want to curse the personback. Remember September 11? The United States received a heart-wrenching blow, and inretaliation, the United States struck back. I decline to say whether I believe this sort of action is rightor wrong, as it is irrelevant; however, I will say that it is human nature, and despite whether peoplebelieve it is moral or not, these retaliatory acts will never end as long as man continues to walk theearth. If you dont want to be part of a Witch War, then you should certainly not go around cursingpeople. It will only come back to haunt you. You should be able to handle what you dish out. If youbelieve that you could not adequately protect yourself from a curse, then dont curse anyone, becausethe chances are high that they will curse you back, providing they find out it was you who cursedthem. You must always be prepared for the worst-case scenario and be equipped to handle anynegativity that comes your way, which you will learn how to do throughout this book.

There are only a few instances when you will be able to curse someone, and not expect toreceive any negative repercussions as a result of your curse. It is generally safe to curse people ofextreme poor moral standing if you are doing so for your protection, or for the protection of yourfamily, for example; murders, thieves, rapists, child molesters, stalkers, abusers, etc. You should notexpect to receive a negative spiritual impact from cursing such individuals. If the individual is awitch, they may try to curse you back, but if you are protected spiritually, you will have no problems;however, I would take extreme caution when cursing these individuals, and take measures to ensurethat they do not find out that you have cursed them. Often, people of such low moral standing willreact physically, not spiritually, and instead of receiving a curse back, you may receive a physicalassault from the person. It is imperative that such individuals do NOT find out that you have cursedthem; therefore, it is vitally important that you keep your intentions of cursing such a person a secret. You should not tell anyone that you have cursed, or intend to curse such a person, or the repercussionswill not be good. When dealing with these types of individuals, you should not attempt a Witch War,but simply curse them in secret, and move on. Let the curse do its work, and reap the rewards insilence. Dont brag about the effectiveness of your curse to others, or word will soon get back to theperson, and you may have more on your hands than you bargained for.

Psychosomatic Curses (Non-Active Verbal Suggestions)

When you are dealing with the average person, (especially a non-witch) telling about the cursemay work to your advantage. It has been shown that half of all curses work on a psychologicalprincipal. If someone believes that they have been cursed, whether they have or not, then they maymake the curse come true. For example, if you walk up to Frank and tell him that Jerry cursed him toloose his job, then Frank just may loose his job, regardless if Jerry actually cursed him or not. Insituations like these, the person begins to feel they are truly cursed, and then expects bad things tohappen to them. By truly believing that bad things are about to happen, the person willsubconsciously start acting as if they already have and become unsettled and careless about theiractivities. As with the example with Frank, he may start to show up at work late, or he may startslacking off at work, and not caring because he is expecting to get fired. By accepting the curse as areality, he then makes it a reality and will make it come to pass.

Lets assume that Frank was not actively cursed by Jerry, and he just believed he was, heeffectively cursed himself into getting fired. This is actually a form of verbal cursing, which is similarto what we know as Irish Curses. It is based on the principle of suggestion. If you believesomething is true, then you make it true, and you will act accordingly.

This form of verbal suggestion is the easiest form of cursing there is, and the oldest formknown. It requires no preparation, no tools, no ceremony, no spell. All you need is to inform theperson that they have been cursed, and you let the persons imagination do all the work. This canwork several ways. As we saw above with Frank, the simple suggestion was enough to make himloose his job, but there are other ways these simple types of curses will work.

Lets say that you walk up to Cindy and tell her that she has been cursed with bad luck. Cindymay, or may not believe in curses; however, two days later, her car breaks down, she looses herwallet, and her dog dies. Cindy will believe that she has been cursed. It doesnt matter if youactively cursed her with a spell or not, but since you told her she was cursed, she will accept theoccurrences as part of the curse, believing that it was the curse that made the things come to pass.

With both Frank and Cindy, you would not have had to do anything to curse them, yet theybelieved themselves cursed, and eventually the curse fulfilled itself. Afterwards, when they felt theywere cursed, they may become afraid of the person who cursed them, believing that person hasspiritual power over them, which brings us to the subject of motives for cursing. There are only tworeasons why one would curse another person. The first reason to curse would be to actually causeharm, bad luck, or some sort of negative action to befall another person. The second reason onewould curse another person is to show dominance of power over another person, or to prove that onehas the ability to control another person. Obviously, when you curse someone, both of these reasonswill come into play. As we saw above with Frank and Cindy, they both believed they were cursed;

therefore, bad things happened to them. As a result of the bad things happening to them, they then feltthat the person who cursed them had power over them. All curses work with these two concepts;negativity and power.

In some cases, it is possible to make someone believe they were cursed and that someone haspower over them, without it being the least bit true. For example, George tells you that hes had abad week. Someone stole his car, he sprained his ankle, and he found out his wife is cheating on him.You listen to his pitiful story, then you mention that perhaps, his bad luck may be attributed to hishaving been cursed by Robert. George will start to believe that Robert cursed him, and will start tofeel that Robert has power over him, even though Robert did not curse him. George will continue toblame any further bouts of bad luck on the curse that Robert supposedly afflicted him with. Again, thisis a form of verbal suggestion, except it is retroactive.

Ive discussed the above forms of psychological manipulation with many people, and I havehad some people suggest that it is wrong to lie to someone and tell them that they have been cursed,when in fact they were not. One must realize that the act of psychological manipulation throughverbal suggestion IS a fm of cursing. Besides, if someone is concerned with the moral issue of lyingand being deceitful, then they have no business cursing someone in the first place. Cursing is anegative act, as is lying, and if one has a problem doing one, then they shouldnt do the other. Mypoint is, if you are truly willing to curse someone, then you have to be willing to get your hands dirty,and cast aside some regard for morality. Lets face it, if you were a perfect angel, you wouldnt becursing in the first place.

Ceremonial and Spell-Craft Curses (Active Physical Performances)We have discussed psychosomatic curses above, but now we will discuss the art of ceremonial

and spell-craft curses. These are the curses that most people are familiar with, and will involve oneperson actively taking part in an action with the intent of manipulating another person. These occurwhen there is a physical act performed with the intent to cause change. Active physical performancesthrough a spell, ceremony, or ritual will include any act that involves circle magic, chants, and/orcomponents of any sort such as herbs, oils, incense, candles, etc. For example, if you perform a ritualby drawing a circle in the dirt, lighting candles, burning incense, and saying a chant, this would beconsidered an Active Physical Performance. An Active Physical Performance can also be as simpleas a spell that calls for you to light a stick of incense in your house while saying a few words.

Non-Cursing MagicEven though we have only discussed cursing thus far, the previously mentioned methods would

apply to any form of Magic, even healing. The same techniques addressed earlier, such as thepsychosomatic non-active verbal suggestions will work just as effectively in completely oppositesituations. For example, if you tell someone that he or she has been healed, they may believe it, and

will begin to feel better. Most forms of magic, regardless if they are intended to heal, purify, cleanse,curse, etc, will be categorized as Active Physical Performances.

A few of the other forms of Magic covered in this book, aside from cursing, will includebindings, protection spells, cleansing rituals and similar techniques to aid you in your efforts atdealing with Witch Wars . As with most magic, the bulk of theses magical techniques will consist ofceremonial, spell-craft, and ritual performances; however, you should always keep the psychosomaticcurses in mind. Dont underestimate their power because of their simplicity. The mind is anincredible tool, and you should use it to your advantage when it best suits your needs. Sometimes alittle mind game with someone will work a hundred times better than an active physical curse.

CHAPTER 4

Being Involved in a Witch WarBefore you Get InvolvedAfter you Get Involved

Ending a Witch WarSteps to a Successful Warfare

Before you get involved in a Witch War

If you believe you are about to get into a Witch War, there are two possible reasons why youwould think such a thing. The first, you are about to curse someone. The second, you feel you areabout to get cursed. It doesnt really matter who throws the first curse, you or another person. Theimportant point is that you are protected before the curse is let loose.

If you are the person who plans on casting the first curse, you should prepare for the worst. You should assume that that person will curse you back. You need to protect yourself and your familyfrom being spiritually attacked. You may be cursing that person to show them that you are morepowerful than they are, or you may truly want to cause them harm. Regardless of your motives forcursing, you could be opening Pandoras Box. So, cast with caution.

If you feel you are about to be cursed, then you should examine all of your possible methods ofminimizing the damage. These are going to include steps that enable you to prevent negativity fromencasing you. It is important that you not let the negativity affect you too drastically and you can dothis by creating a protective barrier around yourself, your family, and your home. We will bediscussing these various methods of protection momentarily.

After you get involved in a Witch WarIf you are already involved in a Witch War, then your primary concern at this point should be

damage control. If you have already been cursed, then you will need to take steps to remove thenegativity that has been sent your way. You will also need to take measures to prevent any futurespiritual attacks from having an affect on you or your family. After these two important steps havebeen implemented, you may then decide to move on to offensive measures such as binding andcursing. Proceed with these offensive measures only after you feel you have completely protectedyourself from future attacks, as the war is on. Some people after having been in a With War prefer toproceed with binding, and refrain from cursing. This is absolutely acceptable, and will usually resultin ending the Witch War.

Ending a Witch WarIt is possible to fight and win a Witch War without cursing. Bindings come in handy for ceasing

the bombardment of spiritual negativity from a person, providing you perform the right binding spellor ritual. Also, many cleansing and protection spells, when combined, will remove a curse, and willprevent any future attacks from outsiders. If it is truly your intention to end a Witch War, then youshould refrain from cursing, as it only adds fuel to the fire. You need to build up your personal fort,and keep it well protected. By this, I mean that you should save your Magical energy to use foryourself, and not waste it by sending it out towards other people. Unless you intend to curse someone

to death, then your Magical energies will be best suited to serve you for protection, rather than todamage others.

Understanding the Steps of Successful WarfareWhat is your goal? To win, of course! Up to now, we have briefly discussed a few of the steps

you should take in order to deal with being in a Witch War. Here, I will clarify these steps for you,which will give you insight as to how you can effectively deal with, win, and end a Witch War as itpertains to your particular situation. Since all situations will differ, you will need to examine thesteps and work out a plan of action that will suit your needs. To be most effective, these steps shouldbe performed in the order given below; however, they can be performed in any order, as the needarises and as it suits your scenario. These steps to successful warfare (in order of importance) are asfollows, and will be explained in even further detail in the coming chapters:

Step 1. Cleansing / PurificationCleansing will rid you of any negativity, remove curses, and will allow you to performMagic without worry of negative influences. You should always begin any Magicalendeavor with a cleansing ritual/spell, as negative influences will interfere with theeffectiveness of your Magic. Keeping your spirit clean will also prevent negativeinfluences from taking too much toll on your everyday life.

Step 2. Protection / DefenseIf you are engaged in Magical combat with another person, protection is an absolutenecessity. Without protection, negative forces will encompass your everyday life andprevent you from performing effective Magic. Protection will aid you in preventing theeffectiveness of curses that are cast your way, and will prevent someones Magic frombeing effective toward you. Protection serves as a defensive measure.

Step 3. Binding / RestrainingBinding is a Spiritual restraint you would put upon another person to disable his or herMagical effectiveness and abilities. Bindings are used to prevent someone from beingable to perform a certain action, and are considered a form of offensive Magic, but canbe used as a defensive measure. Bindings can also be used to restrain someone fromperforming actions other than Magical oriented events, such as showing up at your home,hurting another person, talking badly about another person, etc.

Step 4. Cursing / Assault Cursing is a completely offensive form of Magic, as it is performed solely for thepurpose of assaulting another person spiritually, usually resulting in a physicalmanifestation of the attack. Your intent through cursing should not simply be to injury theperson, but rather debilitate their effect on you.

By following the steps above, you will render yourself more powerful than your opponent andyour Magic will be more effective, resulting in your Spiritual victory. The chapters that followcontain spells, rituals, and techniques that will enable you to perform each of the above steps withease and success.

Magic does not need to be complicated, in order to work. Many of the following spells andrituals were chosen for their ease of use, and effectiveness in mind. If you cant perform the spell, orfind the required components, then the spells are useless for you, so with that in mind, I haveaccumulated Magic techniques that most anyone will be able to perform. If you have trouble locatingany of the components, herbs, oils, incense, etc. I would strongly recommend surfing the internet forresources. Every component mentioned throughout this book will be available to you on the net, andmost are inexpensive to purchase.

The following chapters are broken down into four categories consisting of the steps you shouldfollow for successful warfare. Using the steps previously mentioned, you should pick a spell fromeach chapter to fulfill the each step. For example, you should pick one spell from the CleansingChapter, one from the Protection Chapter, One from the Binding Chapter, and (if you so desire) onefrom the Cursing Chapter. Perform these techniques in the order we previously discussed for optimalresults.

CHAPTER 5

A Note About the SpellsStandard Spells

SimplicitySpell StructureImportant Notes

Powerful Spell Combinations

Standard Spells

Although there are millions of spells in the world, they can usually be broken down into aselect few formats. While some spells and ceremonies may be long and drawn out, many, and most ofthem are going to be simple, yet just as effective. The components of the spell will make up the formatwith which the spell follows. For example, there are standard candle spells, incense spells, chants,ritual baths, circle ceremonies, charms, and so forth. One incense spell is going to be extremelysimilar to another incense spell, as it is the burning of the incense that makes up the spell. One spellmay call for Lavender, while another is going to call for Sandalwood. It is this variation of the herbor scent of incense that will determine the effect of the spell. Different herbs and scents have differentpurposes and they are what determine what the spells will accomplish. Most spells are going to callfor only one ingredient, and will follow a standard spell format. For example, if your spell calls forone ingredient, such as incense, this is an incense based spell, thus, the spell will be released byburning the incense not the elaborate clothes some may wear, not the huge pentacle in front of them,and not even the twenty-five candles laying in a circle. You do not have to get dressed up and do thehokey-pokey for a spell to work. If the spell calls for one component, then that is all the materials youneed for that spell to work. The only other thing that you need is conviction. It is your conviction thatwill determine the success of a spell. You must believe in what you are doing in order for it to work.

SimplicityThe same concept of keeping with simple spell standards applies to candle magic, ritual baths,

and so forth. A ritual bath for cleansing may seem to be exactly the same as a ritual bath forprotection, with the exception of the herbs used, and the visualization techniques applied during theritual. It is this simplicity and repetition that will aid you in your efforts at effective Magic. It is myfull intention to teach you how to perform effective Magic, not theatrics. It is for this reason why someof the spells may seem repetitive; however, the ingredients used within the spell, the motive for thespell, and the convictions held during the spell will provide all the differentiation needed to completethe spells intent.

By keeping the Magic simple, there is a lot less room for error, therefore, your success ratewill higher. The more components a spell calls for, and the more theatrics you must perform, thehigher the chances are that the spell will be ineffective. You may feel as though youre not doing itright, or that you dont have all of the ingredients, or you forgot this or that, and your convictions willnot be strong. By keeping the spells simple, easy, and familiar, you will know that you are doing itright, and your convictions will be stronger, thus, your spells will be more effective and powerful.Because something is simple and straightforward does not mean that it will not work. Sometimes the

most simple spells will be the most powerful. With keeping simplicity in mind, you will find the spells in this book easy to understand,

without many theatrics. There will however, be a few ceremonies included that will involve multiplecomponents. Some of these ceremonies may also involve words you must recite to fulfill the spell. While these ceremonies are considered minimal by most, it would be wise to rehearse the lines andread over it several times before performing the actual spell to ensure that you understand the spellclearly. There is no need to memorize the words within a spell or ceremony, but rather you should befamiliar with what you will be saying to ensure that your intent is clear, and that you understand whatyou will be doing.

Spell StructureThe spells and magical techniques in this book are lain out in an easy to understand format.

There are five chapters (6-10) that contain spells. These five chapters divide the spells up intoCleansing, Protection, Binding, Cursing, and Other Spells. This will make it easier for you to findexactly what you are looking for depending on the spell you need at any particular moment. Thespells are lain out for you to pick and choose them as you see fit.

The first line of each spell will define the spells intent. It will clearly state the purpose of thespell. The spell may be general, or it may serve a more specific purpose. For example, in thechapter covering cleansing methods, you may come across a general spell for cleansing, which willcleanse your spirit, or you may find a more specific spell for cleansing your home of negativity. Thesecond line of the spell will include the spell number for your reference. You may want to keep a listof spell numbers and page numbers of your favorite spells for future reference. The third line of eachspell will include the ingredients or components that you will need to fulfill the spell. This will makeit easier for you to locate a spell that you are able to perform. If you doubt your ability to find someherbs, oils, incense, etc. then you will be able to browse the spells while noting the ingredients thatyou know you will be able to locate, and thus making it easier to find a spell that you know you willbe able to perform. The fourth line will begin the instructions for performing the spells andtechniques. You will be given all necessary details for completing the spell in its entirety. As I statedpreviously, you may see similarities between some spells, but remember, it is the components and theintent behind the spell that make it effective, not a complicated string of useless acts that will make itmore original.

Important NotesChapters 6-10 will also contain a short commentary before the listing of spells. It is vital that

you read these notations before proceeding, as it will give you insight on why you should performcertain spells, and how they work to aid you in your spiritual battles. You should read this entirebook before proceeding with the spells to ensure that you completely understand the steps to

achieving victory. If you do not want to read each and every spell, I would at the least recommendthat you read each of the introductory commentaries in these chapters before proceeding with anyspell. For example, you should proceed to the next chapter, which is Chapter 6, covering Cleansing. Read the introduction fully, then casually glance over the spells, and move on to chapter 7. Read theintroduction for chapter 7, then casually glance over the spells and move on to chapter 8 and so forthuntil you have completed the book. Once you have read all of the pertinent text, you may then want togo back and scrutinize the individual spells more closely to find the ones that are best for you.

Powerful Spell CombinationsOne important reason you should read this book completely before proceeding with casting the

spells is that you will be able to perform multiple spells together to add potency to your Magic.Performing spell combinations is a great way to enhance your Magic.

One way you can perform a spell combo is to use several spells that serve similar purposes,with slight variations. For example, you can perform a protection spell that is designed to protect youpersonally (This will be a general protection spell). Along with this general protection spell, you canalso perform a more specific spell that will protect your home. Using these two types of spellstogether will only give you added protection, so it is worth your while to perform them both if you areable, although, under most circumstances however, you will only need to perform a general spell.You can also use other spells along with these for added potency, as you will see below with ourpowerful cleansing combo.

You might want to check out the spells in chapter 10 before you cast a cleansing spell fromchapter 6, because chapter 10 contains spells that you can do to add strength and power to your otherspells.

For example, lets say that you want to perform the most intense cleansing spell within yourmeans. First, you may want to look in chapter 10 for a spell that will make your other spells stronger. One such spell calls for adding Dragons Blood powder to the incense you are using in your otherspells, or you can add Dragons Blood oil to the candles in your other spells (if the spell calls foranother oil, such as Lavender, you would use both oils together). Another technique for addingstrength to your spells is to eat ginger before you perform a spell or any form of Magic.

If you want to perform a major cleansing on yourself and your home, you could choose to burnsandalwood incense to cleanse yourself, as described in chapter 6, but you could add Dragons Bloodpowder to the incense for added potency, as described in chapter 10. Before proceeding with thespells, you could eat ginger, which will also give your Magic a boost. To cleanse your home, youcould add Dragons Blood oil to the candles you use for the cleansing of your home. In effect, youwill have combined five separate spells into one magical act, which will result in a substantial

cleansing. If you put all of these together, you would have one major Magical Cleansing act thatconsists of:

1) Eating ginger before performing the spell for added magical potency.2) Adding Dragons Blood Powder to your Sandalwood Incense for potency.3) Adding Dragons Blood Oil to your Candles for potency.4) Burning sandalwood incense (with added Dragons Blood powder) for cleansing your spiritand ridding you of negativity.5) Burning Candles (with added Dragons Blood oil) for house cleansing.By using these spells together, you have essentially performed one big Magical feat that you

designed for the most effective cleansing of you and your home.

Spells & ChantsRituals & Ceremonies

Cleansing

The most important aspect throughout a Witch War is maintaining a state of purity, achievedthrough the act of cleansing, also referred to as purification in many Magical sects. Regardless if youhave already been cursed, or if you are about to curse, you need to perform a cleansing act to removeany possible negativity that may have found its way to you. Cleansing is an act most Magicalpractitioners perform on a regular basis, even though they may not have ever been, or will be,exposed to a curse. It is simply a good spiritual practice to be in the habit of performing. SpiritualCleansing can be compared to physical cleansing. Your spirit, like your skin, will get dirty and theimpurities must be removed for you to stay healthy.

When dealing with Witch Wars, cleansing is especially important for removing negativityothers may have targeted you with, and for removing impurities that you may have accumulated uponyourself over time. You cant expect to perform at your spiritual best if you are laden with negativity.In order for you to proceed with protecting yourself, and performing effective Magic against others,you must first be at your optimum peak ability. If you have been cursed, then you will certainly wantto begin with a cleansing spell to remove the negativity brought upon you by another person. In orderto protect yourself from future bouts of negativity it is imperative that you not skip this step wheninvolved in a Witch War and are determined to win.

Cleansing, like most Magic, is a rather simple act, and can be performed in many differentways. There are hundreds of various purification, cleansing ceremonies, rituals, spells, and baths thatone can perform to remove to this accumulated negativity. In this book, you will be provided withvarious ways of performing this act of cleansing, and you must simply pick the one most appropriatefor your needs.

Removing spells and curses is also a form of cleansing as well, as it is an act of removingnegativity. All of the cleansing spells in this book will aid you in removing any curse you may beafflicted with.

Many times, people may not have all of the available components to perform an elaborateceremony, such as the exact herbs, oils and so forth. This is fine. Simply pick a spell or ritual whichyou are able to perform, and that you do have access to the components. I have sincerely tried toinclude spells and rituals within this book which are easy to perform for the average Magicalpractitioner, with components that are easy to locate. If you do have trouble finding certain oils orincenses in your local area, I would strongly suggest using the internet as a means of locating whatyou need.

General Personal Cleansing Spell

#1Components: Sandalwood Incense

Sit alone in a semi-dark area, (you must have a little light to see by, so you may want to have acandle close by, although the candle is optional). Light the sandalwood incense and place it close toyour body, preferably within a foot or two of where you are sitting. As the incense burns, let thesmoke smolder around your entire body. As the smoke envelopes your body, visualize the negativityand impurities it is driving away. Think of the incense as spiritual soap, and imagine it cleaning yourspirit. Visualize all negativity fleeing your body, and your spirit becoming cleaner and cleaner as theincense burns. Keep yourself submerged within the incense smoke until the incense completely burnsitself out. Once the incense is finished burning, your spirit will be clean of negativity and impurities.

Spiritual Cleansing Spirit of Fire Ceremony

#2Components: 2 White Candles, and Several Drops of Frankincense Oil

Sit on the floor or behind a table, and place the candles and oil in front of you. Anoint thecandles with the oil one by one. (The simplest way to anoint a candle is to place a few drops of oilonto your fingers and begin rubbing the oil onto the candle from the top to the bottom in verticalstrokes. Do this until the entire candle is lightly covered in oil.) With the anointed candles placed infront of you, light them and sit quietly with your eyes closed. Visualize a circle forming around yourentire body. This circle should take the form of a large ball, of which you are inside. Sit, undisturbedfor several minutes, while visualizing being inside the ball. Once you have completely visualizedyourself submerged within the ball, recite the following:

Spirit of Fire, cleanse from me all negativity and impurities.May your circle remove negative influences, and cleanse me of wicked influences.May your presence always keep my spirit clean and pure.I present the burning of these candles as an offering for your bidding.In return, may you clean my spirit, and keep it untainted.Thank you, Spirit of Fire.Once you have recited the above passage, continue to meditate on the circle surrounding you.

After several minutes, extinguish the candles and place them in a safe place. You should repeat thisspell once a month if you are actively being Magically attacked. If you are not being cursed, then youshould repeat this spell only once every season.

General Cleansing Spell

#3Components: Rosemary Incense

Rosemary is a powerful cleansing herb for both spiritual and physical matters. Its alwaysgood to keep a bottle of Rosemary oil around the house to dab on cuts and burns, as it holds antisepticproperties. This spell however, calls for Rosemary incense. Begin by lighting the rosemary incenseand place it close to your body, preferably within a foot or two of where you are sitting. As theincense burns, let the smoke smolder around your entire body. As the smoke envelopes your body,visualize all negativity, evil influences, and curses being driven away, and fleeing your body. Visualize your spirit becoming cleaner and purer as the incense burns. Keep yourself submergedwithin the incense smoke until the incense completely burns itself out. Once the incense is finishedburning, your spirit will be clean of negative and harmful forces.

Cleansing Bath for Female Ritual

#4Components: Several Drops of Rosemary Oil, and 2 white Candles

This spell can be used by men; however, to some people, Rosemary has a feminine scent. For amore masculine scent, skip onto the next spell, as the scent will linger with you until your next bath.

First, gather together your candles and the oil. (The oil will be the necessary component in thisspell, and the candles will be needed only for illumination purposes, so the color or scent can differaccording to your personal preferences; although, white candles will produce the most light.) Sincethis is a bath ritual, it will need to take place in your bathroom.

Next, begin filling the tub with water, and as the water is pouring, place a few drops of oil intothe tub. (The temperature should be comfortable for you) I would recommend using only 10 drops orless of the oil, but use at least 5 drops, depending on the size of your tub.

Next, you will need to light your candles and place them close to the bathtub. Once the tub isfilled, turn the lights off, and undress. (Make sure the two candles provide enough illumination ifthey do not, you may need more candles.) Once undressed, slip into the tub and relax.

Close your eyes and clear all thoughts from your mind. This will take several minutes. Onceyou are completely relaxed and your mind is clear, visualize the water cleansing away all impurities,negativity, and evil forces from your body, mind and spirit.

When you are finished dowsing your body with the oil and water,lay back, and soak in the water for several minutes, visualizing yourself being completely clean. Onceyou have done this, remove yourself from the bath, and stand (or sit) amidst the candle light and letyourself dry naturally. Once most of the water has dried from your body, you will be left with aslightly oily film on your skin. Rub this oil residue into your skin, and get dressed.

House Cleansing Spell

#7Components: Cedar Incense

Similar to the spell for protecting your home in the next chapter, this spell is a simple yet potentway of ridding your home of negativity. There are two ways of performing this particular cleansingspell. The first method is to burn a cone or stick of Cedar incense in every room of your home and letthe incense burn itself out, filling each room with the cleansing smoke. You can do this one room at atime, or all at once. If you choose to do every room at once, you will need one stick or cone ofincense and one incense holder per room.

The other method is to light the incense and manually tote it through your home, going fromroom to room while spreading the smoke.

Regardless of the method you choose, you will need to visualize all negativity fleeing yourhome, and your house becoming cleaner and cleaner as the smoke burns and spreads throughout yourhome.

Removing Negativity Spell

#8Components: Bloodstone

Sit in a pleasant quite place where you will be comfortable and not be disturbed. Hold theBloodstone in your hand and close your fist tightly around the stone. The Bloodstone will removenegativity from your body. While clutching the stone in your fist, visualize the stone sucking thenegativity from your body and spirit. Concentrate deeply on all negative forces flowing freely fromyour body and being thrust into stone. Once you have meditated on the negativity leaving your bodyfor several minutes, and you feel cleaner, you should bury the stone in the soil where it is unlikely tobe found by another person, or accidentally dug up. Try to avoid burying the stone in flower beds orherb gardens, as the stone may unintentionally be found while re-planting or tending plants. If thestone is inadvertently dug up, the negativity may be released, although it is doubtful it will return toyou, unless you are the person who digs it up. The negativity is likely to be released onto the personwho finds it, so plan your burial spot carefully.

Spiritual Cleansing

Spirit of Air Ceremony#9

Components: Sage Incense (Sticks, Cones or Sage Wands)This spell can be performed with various forms of incense. The easiest method is to acquire

sage scented incense sticks or cones, or you can use a sage wand, which is a dried clump of sage tiedtogether and burned at one end. Also, you can acquire a charcoal tablet specifically designed forburning incense, where you would place sage powder on top. Dried Sage pieces or powder can befound in your local grocery store in the spice section.

Sit on the floor, light the incense, place it in front of you, and close your eyes. Let the smokesmolder around your body while becoming completely relaxed. Imagine the smoke flowing throughyour body and spirit, cleansing you of impurities and negativity as it flows around your body.

May your power eliminate harmful influences, and purify me of all negative forces.May you continue to keep my mind, body, and spirit uncontaminated and pure.I present the burning of this incense as an offering for your bidding.In return, may you clean my body, mind, and spirit, and keep it untainted.

have become. Once the incense has burned itself out, you have completed the spell. You should repeatthis spell once a month if you are actively being Magically attacked. If you are not being cursed, thenyou should repeat this spell only once every season.

House (or Large Area)

Cleansing and Protection Ritual#10

Components: Water, and Frankincense IncenseTo complete this ritual, you will first need to bless the water, and make it Holy. While the

instructions for preparing Blessed Water are described in detail for you below, they may also befound in Chapter 10 for easy reference. There are many uses for Blessed Water, such as cleansing,protection, consecration, removing sprits, etc. If you choose to use your Blessed Water for a purposeother than cleansing and protection, you should refer to the instructions in Chapter 10, as the passagesbelow are to be recited for creating Blessed Water specifically for cleansing and protection. . Youdo not need to be a priest or priestess to produce Blessed Water, since you harness the ability withinyou to bring out the powers of the God and Goddess. Since we all pray to differently named beings(as previously discussed), this ritual will be addressed to the generic titles of God and Goddess. Youmay feel more comfortable inserting your preferred names of the deities if you so desire; however, itis not necessary, and will be just a effective.

First, gather a small bowl of water and the incense together and place the items in front of you.Light the incense and place it in front of the bowl of water. Recite the following:

God and Goddess, I ask for your aid in my task at hand.Bless me with your power, so I may bless this water, and imbue it with your power andstrength.I will use this blessed water, and the power you instill within it to cleanse and protect meand my home (or name the area you will be cleansing and protecting if it is not your home).Sit quietly for a moment and concentrate on the God and Goddess blessing the water for you.

Once you have meditated for a few moments (usually five to ten minutes) you should recite thefollowing:

Thank you God and Goddess, for sharing your power with me, and blessing this water for meto use in your name. May it serve me well, as I serve you. Thank you for your aid.Once you have completed reciting the previous passage, sit and meditate on your appreciation

to the God and Goddess for giving you aid. Finish the ritual by letting the incense burn itself out asyou meditate. Once the incense has completed burning, you may use the water, as detailed below, oryou may store it for future use. Storing it in any container will be suitable. Some people prefer tostore Blessed Water in a spray bottle, (this makes cleansing large areas easy) while some peoplesimply prefer to store the water in a jar, or special chalice. The container you choose is completely

up to you, and can be as simple as an empty and clean coke bottle.Once your Blessed Water has been created, simply distribute it around the area that you wish to

cleanse and protect. As stated earlier, a spray bottle will make cleansing/protecting large areaseasier. If you do not have a spray bottle, or simply prefer not to use one, then you should sprinkle thewater around the area with your fingers. You should be certain to distribute the water in importantareas such as doorways, windows, vents, and around baseboards. Note: you should not saturate thearea with water, but simply sprinkle a few drops in various locations throughout the area. While youare sprinkling the water around the area, you should concentrate on the water driving away allnegativity, and creating a protective barrier wound the entire area. There is not a special need torecite any passage while spraying the water around the area; however, you may want to state yourintentions by saying the following:

Negativity, by the power of the God and Goddess, I drive you out of this area.Leave, never to return.May you reside her no longer, and harm me no further.I cleanse this area of all evil and impurities.You may recite the above passage repeatedly until you have completed distributing the Blessed

Water throughout the entire area. While the chant is not mandatory, it will help make your intentionsclear, and will certainly not hurt. When you have completed sprinkling the area with the water, youmay now say the following as a closing to the ritual:

This area is now clean and protected; under the guidance of the God and Goddess, may itremain so.You may store any unused Blessed Water for future use.

Protection

Once you have removed any and all spiritual negativity from yourself, you should then proceedwith protecting yourself against future bouts of negativity being sent your way. Protection acts as adefense for the accumulation of negativity that someone may send to you, or that you may accumulateon your own. Spiritual protection, like protection in our physical world serves to guard us againstwhat may happen, or what will happen in the future, and is a preventative measure taken to maintainour safety. Protection, like cleansing, is a vital step to be taken seriously if you are involved in aWitch War. You may have performed a cleansing spell to remove negativity, but unless you protectyourself, the negativity may return. Chances are if someone curses you, and it seems to fail, then theyare likely to try again, so protection is important for maintaining a clean spirit.

If you are inclined to curse someone, then you should certainly protect yourself from any threatsof returned negativity, whether through the concept referred to as the Rule of Three as mentioned inthe Wiccan Rede, or via a returned curse, you should expect negativity to float your way, andprotection is vital to prevent the negativity from affecting you. Like cleansing, protection can beachieved through a myriad of spells, ceremonies, rituals and so forth. Simply pick the one that is mostappropriate for you, and one that has components that are easy for you to locate.

Once you are completely relaxed and your mind is clear,visualize the water cleansing away all negativity from your body. Rub the water along your bodywhile visualizing the water forming a protective barrier along your skin. Do this for several minutes,until you have covered your entire body. When you are finished dowsing your body with the water,lie back, and soak in the water for several minutes, visualizing yourself being completely clean andcompletely protected. Once you have done this, remove yourself from the bath, and stand (or sit)amidst the candle light and let yourself dry naturally. You are now ready to get dressed. Extinguishyour candles and turn on the lights. You are now clean and fully protected from negative forces.

Abracadabra Protection Charm

#18Components: 1 Small Piece of Paper & Black Pen

(Or, 1 small object which can be carved upon)A powerful spell to ward off and protective one from evil, illness, and negative forces involves

the use of this strong charm carved on an amulet. The use of this Abracadabra charm is ancient and itsorigin has roots within the practices of Jewish mysticism.

There are two ways you can effectively utilize the protective forces of this charm. The mosttraditional means of carrying out this spell would be to obtain a small object that you would be ableto tote with you at all times. You could use a small disk, which you make yourself with clay, or youcould use a rock, or a pendant. Regardless of what you choose, you should be able to carve theAbracadabra charm on its surface. Once carved, you would simply tote the charm with you whereveryou go. It should be small enough for your pocket, or worn as a necklace.

The second, simpler, and seemingly just as effective means of carrying out this spell is to gathertogether a small piece of paper and a pen. Simply, transcribe the Abracadabra charm onto the smallpiece of paper, and carry with you in your wallet or purse.

This particular spell is extremely useful if you have been spiritually attacked with a curse thatis intended to make you ill. Remember to cast a cleansing ritual before creating this charm, or beforeperforming any protective spell. You should always rid yourself of negativity before attempting toprotect yourself from it, as it will make the protective measures you perform work more efficiently.

Once you have decided which method you are going to use to fulfill this spell, simply transcribethe charm (found below) onto the article of your choosing. Carry the finished charm with you at alltimes, and keep it close you while you sleep and it will protect you from illness and negativity. It iseven believed to cure the sick and can be used as a healing charm as well. In some cultures, it is alsocarried as a simple good luck charm. Its uses are many, and its power is strong, so it will certainlymake a wonderful addition to your arsenal of weapons used in your Witch War.

Protection Amulet

#19Components: Amber Stone

There are many items used in the magical community that are commonly believed to contain andproject protective powers, Amber being among one of the more potent of them. This is a rathersimple, yet effective technique you may perform to give yourself protection from outside forces. Allyou are required to do is tote an Amber stone with you at all times.

You can go as step further, and place a different Amber stone in various places so that you arenever without its aid. Some people prefer to keep an Amber stone in their pocket, but you can alsokeep one in your car, in your work desk, under your bed or pillow, or anywhere you are going to befor extended periods of time.

STRONG Protection Spell

#20Components: Valerian Root

The scent of Valerian provides a strong protective barrier in any area its scent is released. Ifyou choose to perform this spell, you will quickly realize that the overpowering scent of Valerian isvery distinctive, and may not be pleasant to the nose. I have heard people describe it as smellingsimilar to dirty socks, filthy underwear, rotten meat, etc. I personally agree that the scent is ratheroffensive, and find it somewhat painful to work with, as it is not easy on the nose. Actually, Valerianis used often in making medicinal teas for inducing sleep and relaxation; however, its taste iscertainly comparable to its smell, so it is not used often, except in pill form. Valium is a syntheticform of magnified Valerian.

You should use caution when working with Valerian around animals. Cats and dogs usuallyfind the scent irresistible, and will eagerly eat the herb, and sometimes aggressively go after the herb(I have seen this behavior for myself, and with cats, they will sometimes pursue Valerian with moreeffort than they would catnip, and may bite and scratch their way to get at it.) The effects of Valerianon animals are not known and have not been studied extensively, so you should certainly refrain fromletting your pets digest any of the herbs.

Onto the spell at hand this simple spell requires only that you spread the scent of Valerianthroughout an area. This area can be your house, your car, your yard, etc. The scent will provide aprotective barrier anywhere it is smelled.

There are two ways you can effectively distribute the scent of Valerian. Since you are highlyunlikely to find Valerian scented incense, you will need to create you own method of distributing thesmell. The first, and easiest method, is to obtain a few tablespoons of dried Valerian Root and placeit in a few cups of boiling water. Let it boil and the aroma will spread throughout the house, creatinga field of protection in your home. You may also tote a cup or bowl of the hot Valerian water aroundyour home if the scent has not diffused in all areas of your home.

The second way to distribute the scent of Valerian is to use charcoal tablets. This method willbe more effective for outside use, since you may be unable to boil water outdoors. Gather together thedried Valerian Root and place it on top of a lit charcoal tablet and let it burn as you would any othernatural herbal incense such as Lavender or Frankincense. If you have a portable incense burner, orcensor, you may tote the burning Valerian Root around the area that you are seeking protection.

It is not unusual for people to follow this spell with the burning of another, more pleasant,incense. After performing this spell, you may find the scent extremely unpleasant, and will want to

follow it up with burning Lavender, or a scent of your preference. You should note, while I have made it painfully obvious that the scent of Valerian is not

pleasing to most people, there are some people who find it pleasantly unique. We are all different,and you may find the scent easily to work with. I wouldnt describe it as intolerable; however, Iwould suggest that you smell the dried herb first before deciding to fill your home with its distinctaroma. It may induce vomiting in people extremely sensitive to offensive odors.

Protect your Home Ritual

#21Components: Basil Powder

Basil is another herb which holds and projects protective qualities, and luckily, it may be foundin almost all grocery stores in the spice section. To perform this straightforward ritual, all you arerequired to do is sprinkle your home with small amounts of basil powder. There are no chantsrequired for this spell, nor are there any words you must recite. Simply gather together a smallamount of basil powder and sprinkle it throughout your house, paying special attention to doorways,windows, baseboards, and vents. You should visualize creating a protective barrier in your home asyou sprinkle the powder.

Protection Spell

#22Components: Coral Piece

Another item that you may tote for protection is a piece of coral. It, as with Amber as notedpreviously, is said to harness protective qualities, and will give you aid when kept nearby. You cansimply keep a piece of coral in your pocket, in your work desk, in your car, or under your bed orpillow. You can also place small pieces of coral around your house for protection at home.

CHAPTER 8

BindingGeneral Information

Spells & ChantsRituals & Ceremonies

Binding

Binding, unlike cleansing and protection, is considered a form of offensive Magic, meaning thatit is not an entirely defensive measure. While it can be seen as a form of defense, it is used primarilyto debilitate your opponent and make his or her Magic worthless, or at the least, ineffective when it istargeted towards you. Binding is a form of restraint, and when you perform a binding spell onsomeone, depending on the type of binding spell performed, you are preventing that person from beingable to perform a certain action.

For example, lets say that you put a binding spell on Suzy. The spell you cast was specificallyto bind Suzy from performing Magic on you. After you perform the spell, Suzy may try to cast a spellon you, and several things might happen as a result of your binding. Suzy may perform a spell, and itwill simply not work. Or, Suzy may be unable to perform the spell to begin with because she may notbe able to locate the tools and ingredients for her spell.

Or, another possible scenario, Suzy may try to perform the spell, but for some reason, she keepsgetting interrupted during the process and is unable to finish. There are a myriad of things which mayoccur as a result of your binding her which will stop her from being successful at her efforts at puttinga spell on you. As a result, you must not assume that it will occur a particular way.

As with any other form of Magic, there are general binding spells, and there are binding spellsthat will serve a particular purpose, binding against a particular action. It is up to you to find thebinding spell that will serve you best in your efforts at Magical warfare. Binding can be analternative to cursing if you are inclined to refrain from sending out strong negativity. It can debilitateyour opponent, without the harshness cursing may bring.

As we discussed earlier, binding may or may not be allowed if you are a member of a Wiccancoven or group. Binding, like cursing, is a form of manipulative Magic, and when performed againstanother person, you are manipulating that persons behavior. Since some Wiccans are against almostall forms of manipulative Magic, you should address these concerns with your group beforeproceeding if you do not want to be in violation of any coven regulations.

Bind a Person from Performing Negative Acts Against You

#23Components: Mandrake Root

To bind a person from performing negative acts against you, you should take a large piece ofMandrake root and carve the persons name onto it. Since Mandrake Roots come in various sizes,you will need to find a fairly large whole piece to be able to carve with. If you have to order theMandrake off the internet, make sure you do not order cut pieces, as they will be too small for you tocarve a name onto.

Once you have carved the persons name onto the Mandrake Root, hold it in your hand andrepeat the following:

I Bind (Insert Persons Name) from performing any negative act in my name.May all the Magic directed at me from (Insert Persons Name) fail, and return to (him / her)threefold.Any attempts that (Insert Persons Name) makes at causing me harm shall only make mestronger. I will not be harmed by (Insert Persons Name)!Their Magic will not work on me! Their efforts at causing me harm will make all theirMagic weaker!Take the piece of Mandrake root and bury it in the dirt where it will not be found. You can

bury it anywhere, such as a vacant lot, in the wilderness, or in your yard.

Bind Someones Magic

#24Components: 2 Tablespoons Powdered Asafetida, 1 small box (or jar),

1 Piece of Paper, 1 Black PenTo Bind a person from performing Magic against you, you will need to gather a black pen, 2

Tablespoons Asafetida, 1 small box or jar, and a small piece of paper. Take the piece of paper andwrite the persons name on it 9 times. Wad the piece of paper up into a crumpled ball and place itinside the jar or box. Place the Asafetida powder on top of the ball of paper and close the box or jar.Shake the box or jar well, ensuring the ball is covered with the Asafetida.

Now, you should hide the box or jar where it will not be found by that person. You do not haveto bury it, (although you can) but you should place it in a safe place where you are unlikely to comeacross it often, such as in the back of a closet or drawer. To remove the binding, simply open the jaror box and pour out the contents and try to remove as much of the asafetida from the paper as youcan. Once you have the paper as clean as you can get it, then you should bury the paper in the ground,without the jar or box.

Banish a Person from Your Property Spell

#25Components: Photo, String

Sometimes, in order to prevent someone from performing Magic against you, you will need tobanish the person from your property. Some spells, which are designed to cause you harm, willrequire that the person come onto your property, or obtain a personal item of yours. If you perform abanishing/binding spell against the person to prevent them from coming onto your property orresidence, then this will make it more difficult for the other person to obtain a personal item of yours,or to perform certain forms of Magic against you.

To perform this banishing spell you will need a picture of the person and a yard or two of string(3-6 ft long). Take the picture of the person and wrap it with the string until it is completely covered. If the picture is large, or if you do not have much string, you can fold the picture up and then wrap itcompletely with the string.

Once the picture has been completely covered with the string, dig a hole somewhere on yourproperty or around your residence and bury the picture where it will not be found. If you wish toremove the binding spell, simply dig up the photo and remove the string. Then, rebury the picture inthe ground and discard the string.
