We have all had this horrible feeling at least once in our lives. That feeling is due to someone speaking badly about us and gossiping to others about us. Gossip is a mean spiteful thing. So remember, that you should not be the gossiper, because, you in turn know how it feels to be gossiped about.

I have put together a banishing spell to banish someone from gossiping about you. It is a two step process. The first step is banishing them from talking about you. The second step is a special bath you take so that you can release the negativity and hold they have on you. By the end, you should feel better and no longer need to think of that person.

To banish gossip

Ingredients needed:

1 black candle

1 white candle

1 purple candle

Photo of the offender. If you don’t have one, that is OK. But, it is preferred that you have at least a printed photo. In today’s society of social media, this should be easy to get.

Metal or marble container for ashes (tin can, metal pan…anything that can withstand heat)

Note: All spices can be whatever you can afford. We make them work for us. Divide everything in half. ½ of the ingredients will be used for a bath and ½ for the spell itself.

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons Rosemary

2 teaspoons Sage

2 teaspoons Basil

2 teaspoons garlic

2 teaspoons pepper

2 teaspoons clove

2 Lemons quartered

2 Limes quartered

 

I tend to be a kitchen witch, because the stove and kitchen can keep you near a water source where fires can be put out easily. Also, I am different than a traditional witch. I do not call on the watchtowers or gods. But, please feel free to do so. Each witch is different. Please feel free to tweak this as your own. Any wording used can and shoul be tailored to fit your need. 

1. Play meditation healing music. I like to use a specific one. The link is below. 
2. Write a short letter to the person. Letting them know they hurt you and they are not allowed to do this anymore.
3. Carve person’s name on the black candle.
4. Start boiling 3 cups water on the stove.
5. Light the White candle and place it on the left of the stove and the purple candle and put it to the right of the stove. The White candle represents you and the Purple candle is your spirit guide.
6. Ask your spirit guide to help you gain the energy you need to perform the spell. Because you are new at this, say this slowly three times out loud. Make sure to breathe deep in between the requests. “I ask you spirit guide to help me with this spell by providing energy and strength”
7. Ask the Universe to protect you during this spell. This should also be done three times. “Universe, please protect me from all negativity during this spell”.
8. Light the black candle. You want to make sure that in alignment that the white and purple candles are higher than the black one. This will mean you hold power over this person.
9. Add the ingredients to the water one at a time. After you add an ingredient say: I banish  you (insert person’s name) from spreading rumors about me. You are not allowed to harm me. Repeat this until you are done with the list of spices. Take your time with this.
10. Once the water is at a rolling boil, Burn the letter and the picture one at a time. You can do this one of two ways; put the paper in the container and light it with the black candle or you can put directly into the flame. If you decide to burn it directly in the flame you will need to hold it in your hand as long as possible, once it gets to the point you can’t hold it any longer-put it in the water. With each item you burn you will need to say the banish spell slowly 3 times again: I banish you (insert person’s name) from spreading rumors about me.
11. Once the items are burned- if you put the paper in the water, dump it down the garbage disposal. If you burned it in a can or something you will need to take this outside and bury the ashes where they can’t be disturbed.
12. Let the black candle burn all the way until it is liquid. Then throw out the wax. Make sure you take it out of the house as soon as it is cool enough.
13. Part 2: Bath time. Move the White and purple candle to the bathroom.
14. Start filling your tub with really warm water. Add the ingredients one at a time. Say this spell after each ingredient: I release the negative energy that (insert person’s name) has put on me.
15. Get into the bath. You can wear some clothing if you don’t want to get anything in your private parts. You should be in the bath until the water gets cold.
16. During the bath, let out all of your feelings. Release their hold on you. Say out loud: “You no longer control me and your negativity can not stick to me.” Don’t be afraid to cry.
17. Drain the tub. Throwing out the lemon and lime. Rinse spices out of the tub and take a shower to rinse all of the spices off. This also symbolizes the new you without their negative energy on you.

I hope after this spell you are feeling so much better. Thank you for joining us in making the world a better place, even if it is just the world around you.

May you find happiness in your heart, love for yourself and joy in each other. Blessings to all.
