Binding Spell
Materials:
1 NEW Compact with Mirror (Black)
1 Picture of Person to be Bound
1 Black Candle
1 White Candle
1 27" piece of black cord
1 9" square of black silk (or cotton)
Oil: Rose (for the properties of banishing, releasing and balance)
Incense: Dragon's Blood (for the properties of binding, protection, and
purification)
Herb: Rue (for the properties of blessing, healing, and purification)
On the night of the full moon, take the compact and open it upside down
(NEVER, never look into the mirror), and dig out the tin powder
container.
Without look into the mirror, place it face up in a safe place where no
one
will look into it, yet it will reflect the light of the moon. The
following morning (before sunrise, if possible), close the compact and
wrap
it in the black silk. The following night, as the moon is just
beginning
to wane, set up your altar as usual, cast your circle, etc... Begin by
anointing the Black Candle with the Rose Oil... (hold candle with thumb
and forefinger, rub oil with power hand from wick down; then bottom up;
focusing on your intent to protect yourself from this individual).
Next,
anoint the White Candle in the opposite manner (focusing on your
intent to
bring harmony, balance and enlightenment to the current situation).
Empower the Rue, focusing your intent on all of the above. (Don't
forget
to empower the Rose Oil with the intentions listed beside it, above.
Oops.
*s*)
Light the Black Candle, saying "This candle burns for my intent, Sending
back what sender sent. Freeing all from harm by s/he, An it harm
none, so
mote it be."
Light the White Candle, saying "This candle burns for his/her intent,
Learning from what back is sent. Freeing him/her from harm by s/he,
An it
harm none, so mote it be."
Take the picture, and while anointing say, "Here the face of harm doth
lie, May he/she look him/herself in the eye. May he/she see the harm
and
turn, Before the Wheel fires cease their burn. Oh, Deities of Justice
see!
An it harm none so mote it be."
Lay the picture on your Pentacle, pick up the compact and open it upside
down (remember, don't look in the mirror!). With the bottom flat on the
altar, and the mirror facing away from you (reflecting the candle
light),
sprinkle the Rue in the bottom of the compact (concentrating on your
intention), place the picture (face up) on top of the Rue and close the
compact. Take up the cord and begin binding the compact saying, "I bind
you here for harm you've done, To see yourself alone as one. I bind you
here to learn your woes, To turn them as the Sabbats go. I bind you not
for harm to come, But to see the truth of what you've done. I bind with
love, I bind with care, That you, yourself, your actions bear."
Pass the bound compact through the flame of each candle, the smoke of
the
incense, and sprinkle it with blessed water. Place it on the pentacle.
Raise your power. When you release it, focus on the bound person... see
them learning from their own mistakes, see yourself free of further harm
from them, and focus on the love that the Lord and Lady have for all
their
children. When finished, simply say, "This spell is done, an it harm
none,
By Earth, Sky & Sea, So Mote It Be! Close circle. Wrap compact in
black
silk and put it someplace safe...
