We’ve all been there—the habit you’ve “quit” a dozen times, the negative self-talk that creeps in at 2:00 AM, or the tendency to procrastinate until the last second. In the world of modern magic, a banishing spell isn’t about “fighting” yourself; it’s about clearing the path so your better self can finally step forward.
Think of it as a deep clean for your psyche. Here is a simple, effective ritual to help you release what no longer serves you.
🌑 Timing Your Magic
The best time for banishing is during the Waning Moon (the period after the Full Moon as it gets smaller). This phase symbolizes things shrinking, fading, and being released. If you can’t wait, a Saturday—ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and boundaries—is your next best bet.
What You’ll Need:
-
A small piece of paper and a black pen.
-
A black candle (Black absorbs and neutralizes energy).
-
Note: If you don’t have black, a plain white tea light works as a “blank slate.”
-
-
A fire-safe bowl or cauldron.
-
Sea salt (for protection and grounding).
-
Moon Water (optional, for a final “cleansing” of your space).
