For as long as I have been a Witch I have heard, and sometimes refereed, the “Binding Spell” discussion.\u00a0 On one side there is the belief that spells should not be done without a persons knowledge, on the other side self-defense and protection.\u00a0 Not to sound like a politician, but my opinion has evolved.\u00a0 It took me a while to see in my life, that sometimes there is just no other way.\u00a0 That being said, I always try protection spells first, and then sometimes binding is all that’s left.\u00a0 If constant damage is being done through a persons negative, or dangerous behavior it’s a way to stop it.\u00a0 In my mind the trick is to have absolutely no harmful intent for the person you’re binding.\u00a0 If it’s too close and you can’t keep your emotions in check, call a friend to do it, if they’re willing and able.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of favored methods for binding, poppet magick, string magick, I’ve seen a lot of different spells over the years, for me as quickly and cleanly as possible is favored, so I came up with this binding spell.<\/p>\n
Supplies: small white candle, string (whatever feels right to you is fine), sharp pointed implement to scribe the wax, matches or a lighter.<\/p>\n
Preferably during a waning moon, carve the persons initials, or if you want to do a stick figure, whatever helps you raise the energy. As you carve into the candle do it with clear intent, then empower the string wrap it around the candle and tie it, then say:<\/p>\n
Candle, fire, wax and string,<\/p>\n
To bind you now, they’re just the thing<\/p>\n
As they wane so does your power<\/p>\n
Extending forward from this hour<\/p>\n
You’re stopped with no harm sent to thee<\/p>\n
As is my will so mote it be!<\/p>\n
Let the candle burn, somewhere safe obviously, until the string and whatever you carved into the candle are gone, letting it go out on it’s own if possible. I usually carry the remnants off my property and bury them.\u00a0 Cast circle and call the quarters in whatever way you use normally during a waning moon.\u00a0 I try to use a candle that is smaller than a votive, a menorah candle, a tea light pulled out of the cup, even a birthday candle, if you can carve into it will work. I go with a white candle because they’re easy to find and can be used for anything, although I have seen black candles used also.\u00a0 If binding is not something you believe in, I can understand it, if you’re ok with it then this is a quick and effective way to go that works, and doesn’t take a lot of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
