The Veil of Smoke
To banish heavy negative energy, lingering hostility, or unwanted entities using the power of smoke and sound to clear and seal the space.
Ingredients:
Black Candle – Represents absorption and removal of negativity.
Charcoal Disc and Fireproof Bowl – For burning herbs or resins.
Banishing Herbs – Such as mugwort, sage, or bay leaves.
Bell or Drum – For dispersing energy.
Salt and Black Pepper – To create a protective boundary.
Small Mirror – To reflect and repel unwanted energy.
Parchment Paper and Pen – To write your banishment target.
Cleansing and Preparation:
Begin by cleansing the area with sage or mugwort smoke, moving counterclockwise to push out negativity. Place the charcoal disc in the fireproof bowl and light it.
Set Up the Banishing Circle:
Create a circle around your workspace using a mixture of salt and black pepper. Place the black candle at the center and light it.
Write and Burn the Target:
Write the name or description of the energy, entity, or situation you wish to banish on the parchment. Fold it away from you and place it atop the burning charcoal. Add banishing herbs or resins to intensify the smoke.
Invoke the Banishment:
As the smoke rises, visualize the unwanted energy being consumed and carried away. Say:
“Smoke and flame, take what is ill,
Be gone, be gone, by my will.
No harm may linger, no dark remain,
By this rite, I cleanse this domain.”
Reflect and Seal:
Hold the small mirror and position it so it reflects the smoke away from you. Visualize it creating a barrier that repels negativity.
Sound and Close:
Use the bell or drum, ringing or striking it three times while declaring:
“This space is cleansed, this space is sealed,
All harm banished, the light revealed.”
Dispose of the Remnants:
Bury the ashes and leftover herbs far from your home. Scatter the salt and pepper at your threshold for added protection.
