Blessing and Protecting Animals
Before you begin, gather the items you'll need. You will prepare a small altar to hold the objects you'll need. Gather together:
• For the ritual altar -
A white candle.
A lighter or book of matches.
An incense stick. Sandalwood is typically a good incense to use for creating your ritual space,
a holder for your incense.
a holder for your incense.
• For the blessing and protection -
A picture of your animal family member. If you have more than one animal you want to bless,
have a picture for each. A lavender incense stick. You can also use a sage and lavender smudge
stick if you have one available.
have a picture for each. A lavender incense stick. You can also use a sage and lavender smudge
stick if you have one available.
A yellow or gold candle.
A large feather.
Lighting the altar candle:
Place your altar in facing Northern
Begin with lighting your altar candle. (The white candle)
• Close your eyes and imagine a flame being lit within your own body.
• Imagine your spiritual essence, lighting a flame in your solar plexus. This is your divine light, the spirit within you that will provide the energy to the wick of your candle and the work ahead.
• With each breath you take, imagine the flame inside your being growing stronger and brighter. Until it fills your entire body with its warmth and bright light.
• Open your eyes, take the matches/lighter in hand and light the wick of your candle.
• Say something like:
Great Spirits, I (or we), state your name(s), bring this flame to light,
to shine divine energy upon this spiritual space tonight.
Setting the circle:
Take the incense stick and light it from your altar candle. Let it burn for about 5 to 10 seconds, then blow out the flame so the incense smolders.
Now stand before your altar. {Facing north}.
Hold the incense by both hands and hold it up even with your shoulders.
You're going to present the incense to each direction starting with north, then turning to the east, south, west and finally back to the north. This will make your spiritual circle.
Keep in mind that where you live in the world, you will have to alter the correspondences listed here.
Face north and say something like:
Great Spirits of the North where the cold winds blow,
Bring the breath of knowledge for this ritual flow.
Turn east and say something like:
Great Spirits of the East where the warm sun resides,
Let the fires light this circles communication tides.
Turn south and say something like:
Great Spirits of the South where the blue waters flow,
May the waves of compassion show the way to row.
Turn west and say something like:
Great Spirits of the West where the great mountains rise,
Allow the balance of life to settle upon these ties.
Turn to the north again and hold the incense toward the Moon, and say:
To Goddess of the Moon,
Then hold the incense toward the ground and say:
To the Great Mother Earth
I (we) make this circle of divine creation and ask for your protection and blessing.
Place the incense in a holder near the altar candle.
Setting your blessing and protection:
You can remain standing, or sit before your altar.
Place the lavender incense over the candle's flame and set it afire. While the incense is still on fire, call upon your God/Goddess of choice.
Say:
Great Spirits, (God/Goddess name)
Through divine love and light,
I call upon your great might,
To bring forth a blessing upon (the animal's name).
Holding the incense in your left hand, and the feather in your right, blow out the flames and fan the smoke clockwise around the picture(s). Say:
o Great Spirits, (God/Goddess name)
Please bring your blessing of happiness to (animals name),
that they will feel joy throughout their days in my life.
Sit for a moment with your eyes closed and visualize yourself having fun with your animal.
Now place the incense into its holder.
Continue with the protection. Hold the gold candle in your left hand and light it from
the altar candle and say:
o Great Spirits, (God/Goddess name)
I bring to light this guardian flame,
Bring forth your might and guard (animal’s name) from harm,
that they will feel secure and safe here in my home.
Set the candle near the picture(s). Then again sit for a moment and close your eyes, see your animal friend resting safely in your home. Secure and protected from all and any manner of harm.
Thanking The Great Spirits (God/Goddess):
Many people find it appropriate to honor the spirits and deities that they've asked to assist them. I happen to be one of these people. However, for rituals such as this, giving honor through an offering of life, instead of food can also be appropriate. By that I mean, planting a seed or plant in honor of the deities. One that supports or represents the energy of the deity. In this case, a rose bush would be an appropriate offering.
Raise the unplanted bush and present it to the divine forces. Say something like this:
I give this offering of rose and thorn as my symbol of gratitude and honor.
To the Great Spirits, whose light and love shall shine through its pedals of beauty, to remind us all of your unselfish gifts.
Meditation and Closing:
1. No matter what your ceremony is for, you should add a moment of meditation to the event. In this altered state, you can add to a spell by visualizing the energy being created, seeing it in your mind as it manifests and comes to form. You can contact the Great Spirits and engage them in a private ritual. You can use this time to thank the forces that have helped you.
2. Here's where you should write a brief summary of the ritual and your experience in your personal Book of Shadows. Record any insights you might have gained through the meditation, or any physical feelings, or emotions you might have experienced.
3. Conclude your ritual by closing your chakra centers. You can follow the same final step in the Grounding ceremony to accomplish this.
When you have completed this step, face your altar and give thanks once more for this sacred space. Then back away and allow your candles to burn out. Don't leave candles burning unattended. If you can't stay with the altar, its ok blow out the flames (let them smoke) and re-light them when you return. If you want to clean up the space and remove the altar, but you are planning to stay with the candle, simply move them to safe location and do your cleaning. .

Say "What is dark be filled with light, remove this spirit from my sight." Before starting place your hand before you, and start the flow of power out of your hand and then say the words, letting the envisioned blue-white light from your power hand fill the room or house or any other place that you might be.
A Ritual for the Dark Moon
Begin by setting up your altar as you normally do for ritual, making sure you have a black candle and wine or water in your chalice in addition to anything else you use. You will also need a cleansing, purifying incense and a censer or some kind of container which can be carried around your home. It is best to set your altar on the floor for this rite, but you may do it however you feel most comfortable. Cast your circle as you normally do. When you are through, kneel before your altar and light the black candle. With your arms held, palms upward, at your sides, call Hecate by saying three times:
"Hecate, beautiful Crone of Night
I call you here to put things right.
Transform the negative thought and pain
And help my life be whole again."
Close your eyes. When you feel the presence of Hecate and know she is there to help you, open your eyes. Bow your head to her to show your reverence, and then take the chalice, saying:
"Lady of the Dark Moon, Share with me this wine.
Bring your protection to Flood this life of mine.
May the waters of your eternal womb Bring change most divine."
Sip a small amount of the wine (or water), envisioning it as liquid energy, flowing to effect a positive change within and outside of you. Leave the rest as an offering to Hecate. Light the purifying incense in the censer, cut a door in the Circle, and, beginning in the eastern-most corner of your home, smudge your home, going clockwise. Go into every closet, the bathroom, and the garage - make sure your entire house is smudged. As you go, chant:
"Negativity be gone."
Come back into the Circle and visualize your entire house and yard bathed in a peaceful blue light. Since you have created a void by banishing the negativity, you will need to fill that void. Ask that good, protective spirits come into your home and that positive energies replace the negative ones that have just been banished. This is an important step, because if you don't fill the void with something good, the negativity will come right back.
Sometimes during such a ritual, I take one large and one small black stone and charge them to keep away negativity. I promise Hecate that the large one will remain in a prominent place in my house and that I will keep the small one with me at all times. Thank Hecate. Meditate if you wish, visualizing your life free from negative happenings and feelings and full of love, prosperity, and happiness. Feel how She has changed your home and your life. Close the Circle and know that it is done.
Begin with a purification bath. Light the twin candles on the altar and burn a protective and/or cleansing incense. Fill your chalice with freshwater (be sure to consecrate it) and blessed salt. Kneel or assume the Goddess position as you say:
"Naked come I into this sanctuary With love and faith
From those who have gone before. Innocent am I in understanding
Holy and pure in my love of all good and blessed things.
Supreme Goddess, ruler of light, Lord of all Hear my prayer,
Help me now to dispel this thing of unholiness This creature of darkness,
Who dooms itself to shame and unhappiness. Save him if it is thy will to do so.
Send him to the light. Mercy is the song I sing; Forgiveness the word most precious.
In thy everlasting grace I say this. In humility I ask this. So mote it be."
Take up the chalice of salt-water, face the east wall, dip your fingers into the water, raise your hand and say:
"Powers of the East Powers of the daystar rising
And all fresh beginnings I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship warmth and love."
Then sprinkle some extra water and proceed to the south. Say:
"Powers of the South Powers of the summer sun
Which warms our bodies and our minds
I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love."
Repeat in the west:
"Powers of the West Powers of the purifying and cleansing waters
From which all life comes.
I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love."
Repeat in the north:
"Powers of the North Powers of the earth, the ground On which we stand.
I purify you with salt and with water For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love."
Then proceed around the room sprinkling water over all the thresholds, windows, and doorways and in all corners. REPEAT IN EVERY ROOM. Anoint your 3rd eye Chackra point with the holy water. Then add more incense to the burner, take up, and do the same thing, using the same verses substituting "fire and air" in place of "salt and water."
As before, proceed around the room censing all the thresholds, windows, doorways, and in all corners. REPEAT IN EVERY ROOM. Take the fire candle (or a candle for this purpose) and your athame and, starting at the door or entrance, walk slowly CLOCKWISE through the house, through each room pausing at each door, window, and mirror and moving the candle across it, also pentagramming each window, doorway, and mirror with the athame. Proceed room by room spiraling clockwise. Draw a pentagram in the air in the incense smoke. All the while chant the following:
"By the One Power I hereby consecrate this space To the Goddess and the God,
According to free will And for the good of all; I hereby release, In all time and all space,
Any negative cause, effect, manifestation, form or essence,
Any negative event, thought, energy, idea or vibration, And transform it to
And replace it with Only positive, joyous good In keeping with the Universal harmonies
Of the Goddess and the God. This space is divinely protected This space is perfectly safe.
Nothing and no one can enter this space Unless I (or my loved ones) allow them to.
This space is sacred Consecrated and dedicated to positive living
For myself and my loved ones And for the work of positive magic.
No harm can come to this space, or anyone in it."
As you draw each pentagram say:
"Only good can enter here No negatives can enter All harm is sealed out."
When you are back at the entry point conclude:
"Love lives here Health lives here
Abundance lives here (Name self and loved ones) live here
We claim this space for ourselves, for the mutual good
And so mote it be!"
This is a Banishment of negativity spell, but a 7 day candle spell can be used for other workings, like prosperity, health, love etc. (on different days of the week)
This should be undertaken on Saturday (Saturn), and if you want to be more precise, the use Saturn's hour. You can either choose 12-1 (from midnight) 7-8 am or (from noon) 2-3 PM and 8-9 PM. It doesn't matter what time you finish, just start at the proper time. Do this spell during the waning Moon towards the last quarter. Banishment spells are done during the Waning Moon because you want to stifle the negativity.
You will need:
1. Two regular white stick alter candles
2. A glass enclosed candle that will burn for approx. one week. If your local occult store carries the reverse candle with black wax on top and white or red at the bottom, this would be great, otherwise a black, brown, blue or purple is good since these are some of Saturn's colors.
3. Banishment or Uncrossing oil - or you can make it by taking the herb of rosemary, black coshosh, basil, eucalyptus, Vervain and sage (some or all) and putting them in some vegetable or olive oil and cooking them lightly for 5-10 minutes (don't burn), strain into a bottle or jar.
4. Salt and water for sprinkling (consecration)
5. Incense, a good quality
6. Some parchment paper, but nice stationary will do (approx. 3x3 piece)
Before you start your ritual you may want to air out your space with sage. Make sure you air out the room with open windows and doors so negative spirits can depart. This is optional, but a good idea. Be bathed and wear some uncrossing oil. Wear your ritual clothes or clean garments. Your altar and ritual area should be tidy but have your personal touch on it, with the things that represent you.
Begin by lighting your incense and sprinkle water and salt in the 4 directions, move deosil, or clockwise (dispel). Offer a short prayer in your own words to the elements earth air fire and water to come to your space to purify it. You can include your favorite wights or protectors. Make this as personal as possible. What matters is what 'you' identify with, not trying to identify with some entity you've never heard of. Just be sincere, and visualize your space being protected. If you want to draw an imaginary circle moving clockwise, that's fine too, as long as you indicate the purification of your working space.
After the consecration, light the two white alter candles (protectors) and offer an invocation/prayer to your main deity and in your own words ask him/her for protection and the banishment of all negative entities that are troubling you, ask him/her to send them back to their origin. They have no place in your life. Ask for all harm to be turned away from you, leaving behind only prosperity, happiness, courage, acceptance of transitions without doubt and fear, and control over your life.
State that your external forces have no power over you. Again, just be sincere, and whether you do this in a poem form or just simply state it doesn't matter, just say it with conviction. After your invocation, take some banishment oil and "charge" the top of your glass encased candle with your finger tips, moving deosil, and offer a few words to remove and expel all the negativity around you. Now light the candle.
The parchment paper is your seal. It serves as an amulet, talisman and charm, it will do the work for you. There are many kinds of seals, but it can simply be something you create. Write your intent or wish on the paper, in this case the banishment of ill-forces and your protection. Then put a few dabs of banishment oil on it and put it under your candle and leave it there until it burns out. When you've finished with your seal, thank your deity and helpful spirits and ask them to depart and do your bidding.
Close the ritual by extinguishing your two main alter candles (never blow on the fire element). Your 7 day candle will stay lit until it burns out, so you may want to have it in an extra glass or metal bowl for safety's sake, and out of reach for anyone to touch (including Freyja).
This is the end of you ritual. Now every evening until the candle burns out, pick a certain time and stick to it, to sit down with your candle anywhere from 15 -30 minutes and seriously and intently focus or meditate on your wish or expectation. It's always good to start with a prayer or chant, this depends on you particular spiritual practice and whatever suits you. Never miss a single day. If more than one of you is doing this ritual, you must all sit together each evening for the candle visualization and stick to it.
If you can identify the actual spirit, locate the center point of the house, and standing there take a cup of red wine. After each of the following statements take a sip of wine, and drain the cup after the last direction.
Facing east:
"Lady of love and power and all blessings, breathe love into this house, fill air with good. Through you, in you, I bless this house."
Facing south:
"Lady of love and living and all blessings, warm this house with comfort, make whole its hearth. Through you, in you, I bless this house."
Facing west:
"Lady of tide and time and every blessing, let every hour flow sweetly in this house. Through you, in you, I bless this house."
Facing north:
"Lady of strength and riches and all blessings, make this house strong and filled with earthly good. Through you, in you, I bless this house."
Walk around the house saying the following in each room (including attic and cupboards):
"Be comforted. All is well. Now you are blessed. You have life to nurture and nurture you. Be calm. Be easy. Be comforted. You are blessed."
If you can identify the spirit, say the following in the room most affected:
"It is time to leave here. All is well. There is nothing here for you. You must be gone. Go now, go, complete your passing. Go, and with our blessing and farewell."
Often commanding any evil spirits to leave at once, in the name of your deity three times works well. After this you could get a smudge stick of sage, or sage incense, and perform a house blessing carrying it deosil around the property and from room to room, paying special attention to doorways, crevices and windows, and also any places that `feel` cold. As you do this with words from a house blessing, scatter salt and water which has been consecrated and blessed. Have windows and doors open as you bless the house. Salt scattered along windowsills and doorways will prevent any entity re-entering the proper
Point your Athame at the sky, and then at the earth. Then pointing Athame horizontally either spin 360 or walk around the perimeter with the Athame held out in a threatening manner.
Say:
"Spirits of evil, Unfriendly beings
Unwanted guests, Be gone!
Leave us leave this place, leave this Circle,
That the Goddess and the God may enter.
Go, or be cast into the outer darkness!
Go, or be drowned in the watery abyss!
Go, or be burned in the flames!
Go, of be torn by the whirlwind!
By the power of the Mother and the Horned One
We banish you! We banish you! We banish you!"
Sprinkle the perimeter with salt and water.
You will need:
* three small pine branches, a few feet in length (or three fern fronds)
The Spell: To banish evil that has come, go into your garden at night. Cut three small pine branches, a few feel long, or three fern fronds. Circle your garden with these slowly and call forth all the powers and spirits of your garden in whatever words feel good to you. Express your hurts and fears and ask for help from the Earth Mother. Then "sweep" the house with these branches or fronds, pushing all the dark energies out the front door forcefully, saying: OUT! OUT! AVERT! AVERT! EVIL OUT IS-- ALHIZ! ALHIZ! Throw the branches away, off your property.
Use a black candle, with a picture of the person (if obtainable, otherwise inscribe their name on the candle) placed underneath. Also a piece of parchment with the person's name on it. Carve the Divine Names "Eel kanno taf" onto the black candle. Anoint the candle with Banishing Oil (Black Pepper Oil is good for banishing). Burn for nine nights, each night reading Psalm 94. Put the candle out after Psalm is done (NOT by blowing it out). On the last night let the candle burn all the way down. While the candle burns (on each night), meditate and focus strongly on the aim in mind. Imagine strongly the person leaving you alone; imagine strongly their evil deeds turning back onto themselves. Do this for about 5 minutes each night before you pray the Psalm. (Note: a purple candle could also work for this, but used black if this person had been very harassing in a serious way).
This is a variation on a popular spell used to stop someone from harming or bothering you. This must be performed during a waning moon. On a piece of parchment or recycled paper, write the name and birthdate of the person you are wishing "away". Now fill an air-tight container (like a baby food jar or Tupperware container) with water. Add a pinch of one or more of these magical herbs: ash tree leaves, clover, lovage, lilac, garlic. Take the paper with the name on it and fold it three times. Tie a black string or thread around it and drop it in the water. Seal the container up and bury it in a safe spot in your garden, yard or flower box. Once the person has left you alone or no longer poses a problem to you, open the container and empty it to the earth. Keep the container instead of leaving it to Mother Earth.
Best time to cast this spell: sunset on the eve of a New Moon
You Will Need:
*A yellow candle
*A teaspoon of salt
*Half a cup of Olive oil
*A chicken feather (you should gather feathers in a non-harmful manner)
The spell: gather up your ingredients and go to a quiet area in your home where you can be alone. Light the candle and put the salt into the cup of Olive oil. Pick up the feather and repeat these words:
"Cauda Draconis (or a deity you choose to work with)
Help me in my time of need
I want (the person's name here) to move away from me,
In good health let them be their possessions - let them keep
Let wheels begin to help them to move away from me.
This is my will - So Mote It BE!
Dip the feather into the olive oil and soon as you are able - wipe the feather on the ground in front of your house and near the neighbor's house (make sure no one sees you!)
This ritual is used to get someone out of your life that you just can't seem to get away from.
You'll need:
A string of hemp
A small dish
A red, black, gray or black candle with the wick removed
A cut burnt through to the candle's center.
Slip the hemp through the crevice in the candle, and, holding both ends of the string with one hand, begin to burn through the center of the wax, where the crevice starts. Channel energy into the candle based on what negative things the source has given or done to you. Then, as the wax cascades into two pieces and the hemp burns through, visualize yourself and the other source like the wax. Two separate bodies.
A regular circle needs to be cast for this ritual, and you have to make sure you want no ties with this person again when the ritual's through.
You will need:
*Red cayenne pepper
*Sea salt
*Matches
*1 small candle
*Nine pennies
Empty out two-thirds of the pepper from its bottle. Fill the bottle a third full of sea salt. Break the heads off the matches and use the heads to fill the jar almost to the top. Match heads contain sulfur, a magical element used by witches to scatter negative force. Sea salt is for cleansing and cayenne pepper makes things uncomfortable for people who try to harm you.
Write the name of the person you want away from you on a small piece of paper. (If you have a signature, even better.) Insert the paper into the jar. Close the lid tightly.
For nine days in a row beginning ten days before the new moon, shake the bottle as many times a day as you feel inclined to do so. Visualize this person moving away from you. On the ninth day rub the lid of the jar with the wax of the candle. (Any color is ok but black is best.) Take the jar to the closest river and throw it in. Throw nine pennies over your shoulder and don't look back.
Write the name of your enemy on a piece of paper and place it in a plastic bag with a zipper closure. Fill it 3 quarters full of water, zip it shut, and put it in your freezer.
Cast your cicle and say:
"In Hecate's name we bind ____ to the flame
May she bring nightmares, depression, and pain
We cast ____ to the wind, that all know ____ shame
May Hecate envelope ____ in the threefold law
May all forget ____'s shame, their harm, their call
May their ability to raise magic fall on deaf walls
We join our energies fellow friends in the Craft
May Hecate stop ___'s harm in the future, present and past
Only when their deeds are reversed will this binding be uncast
So Mote It Be!"
Get a large white candle, the kind that drips wax, and set it up on a tray.
Affix to it a photograph or other image of the person you wish to bind. Make a ring of sea salt around it. Make a second ring with protective herbs. Fill the rest of the tray with images that represent what you are binding the person from: pictures of your family, keys to your house, legal documents, whatever. If the problem is too complex for images, write what the person is bound from on slips of paper and place them around the candle. Papyrus, or paper made from cotton or linen work best for this.
Use red ink if you are angry, purple ink if you are sad.
Wrap the candle and the image with black thread (linen, if possible).
Invoke Isis and Linda, the Binder With Linen Thread. Say out loud what you are binding the person from. Light the candle and leave it burn until the wax begins to drip over the thread and image. Burn it every day for a week, until the image is thick with wax. Use this as a meditation device to direct your will to binding the person.
