A thin sheet of copper (obtained at hobby or decorating shops). If you cannot obtain copper,
substitute a sheet of parchment with this glyph (the alchemical symbol for copper)
drawn upon it and or Cu (the periodic designation for copper) written upon it.
Preface
It is said that blood spells are hard or impossible to break. Blood acts a catalyst in a spell giving it an
extra kick and because of the life-force energy involved binds the spell to the caster. But like any other
spell, you are merely dealing with energy that manifested from the astral. Therefore like any other spells
directed against you there are the following options:
1. Let the spell run its course. This choice is usually the least appealing.
2. If you are a more skilled practitioner of the Art, you may overcome the spell by sheer force of
will. This course is fraught with trouble as you may not be more powerful than the original
caster. Plus, this action usually leads to an escalation of the conflict.
3. Retaliate with a spell of your own (see #2 above)
4. Reflect the energy back to its source (see #2 above)
5. Deflect or Transmute the energy being directed at you. Since a spell is merely energy, it may
be redirected, grounded, or transmuted. This is the course we’ll follow in the below working.
We are going to take this—for want of a better word—negative energy and change it into
something beneficial. Therefore even if the original caster keeps feeding this spell, you’ll only
benefit from such efforts. This method also has the added boon of not accruing any Karmic
backlash.
Additionally, in the case of blood spells since the blood is used as a feeding agent for the thought -form
spell, were going to use this fact against the spell itself to lure it away from its victim in much the same
manner as a fighter pilot uses a flare to decoy a missile.
Performing the Ritual
Light the blood root incense and any ritual candles you use but don’t light the special black and white
candles yet.
(NOTE: Since this ritual could be considered a banishing ritual, cast the circle widdershins otherwise cast
the circle in your usual manner or use the included circle casting
While casting the circle, visualize the blue flame arcing from the circle upward and over you
forming the sphere of power.)
Magus: As I cast the circle, I ask that you assist by lending your energy unto my blade. As I walk
the circle, visualize the blue flame arcing from the circle upward and over us forming the
sphere of power.
Magus: I conjure thee, O Circle of Power, to be a meeting place of love, joy and truth—a
boundary between the worlds of men and the Realms the Mighty Ones.
A rampart and Protection against all wickedness that shall both contain and entertain
the powers raised within—wherefore do I consecrate thee in the name of The Dark Lord
of the Underworld, and the Dark Lady of the Moon.
(Note: Normally the circle would be cast deosil but for reasons mentioned above, the quarters like the
circle casting will be done widdershins. Walk widdershins to each quarter beginning with East and recite
the appropriate quarter call.)
East: Hail and welcome ye Sylphs of the Airs and realms of the Atmosphere,
I do summon, stir, and call you up.
Bring with you the hosts of the watchtowers of the East
to guard our circle and to witness our rites.
Sylphs, thou art the gatekeepers of the Eastern Portals of Knowledge and Intellect.
North: Hail and welcome ye Gnomes, Dwarves, and Trolls of the Earthen Realms,
I do summon, stir, and call you up.
Bring with you the hosts of the watchtowers of the North
to guard our circle and to witness our rites.
Gnomes, Dwarves, and Trolls thou art the gatekeepers of the Northern Portal of Boreas.
(Note: Use the God names listed below or any others of your choosing)
Hold the black candle in your hand and envision all the negative effects of the spell that has
been laid upon you. Visualize how the spell looks on the astral plane, be it a construct like a
building or perhaps some sort of fell beast.
Meditate deeply about how the spell looks, its energy, and how it’s affected you. When you are
finished, place the candle on a tray covered with brown paper.
Hold the white candle in your hands and concentrate on a vision of how you would like to
change the energy of the black candle (representing the spell or curse) into a more “positive”
form of energy. Remember a curse or spell only has power because you give it power. See the
energy of the black candle transmuting into the type of energy you want. See yourself happy,
stable, and secure, with all that negative energy transformed into positive.
Consider what you need to make that happy vision a reality. Write down your requirements or
a plan of action on a piece of brown paper. For instance, if the spell is harming you financially,
see that financial deficit turned into a bonanza. Then write down what additional steps you plan
to take on the mundane plane to accomplish that goal.
Place a small flat sheet of copper between the two candles, so that one is at each end. (Copper
sheets are available through hardware and art supply stores.) If you can’t locate or afford a
copper see my notes under “You will need these supplies” heading.
A which bottle is a magickal device which is used to trap and hold negative energies directed at a party.
In the previous step, we transmuted the dark energy of the spell into light energy that we could put to
use; the charging of a witch bottle takes this idea one step further.
Magus: (backs against the circle and concentrates on directing trapped negative energy into the
witch bottle, visualizing a swirling vortex of dark energy being sucked into the bottle.)
Magus: (Pours the wine, drops the needles, and inserts the rosemary into the witch bottle—or
the bottle may be premade)
Magus: Transmute this energy three times three into something useful for me.
Transmute this energy three times three into something useful for me.
Transmute this energy three times three into something useful for me.
Magus: (drops the candle into the bottle and immediately stoppers the bottle with the wax plug.
May optionally seal the bottle with wax.)
Magus: By stars, moon, and sun, the deed is done; so mote it be.
By stars, moon, and sun, the deed is done; so mote it be.
By stars, moon, and sun, the deed is done; so mote it be.
we thank you for witnessing and protecting these sacred magickal rites.
Lead the hosts of the Watchtowers of South and return to your Realms of Lava, Heat, and Fire.
North: Hail, Gnomes, Dwarves, and Trolls who toil in rock and dirt, on this moonlit night, we thank you
for witnessing and protecting these sacred magickal rites.
Lead the hosts of the Watchtowers of the North and return to your Realms of Earth, Borean
snow and ice.
Magus: O Circle of Power, as I have conjured thee I now release your energies into this blade.
(In your mind’s eye, see the circle dissolve into a wispy energy smoke, which the glowing blade readily
absorbs)
Magus: Where there once existed a rampart between this world and the Otherworld, the
rampart is no more. Once again, our realms are separate. However, the love and joy
with which we met here tonight remains undiminished.
Magus: Just as the oak must yield to the holly, and this ritual ends, so leave I this circle of magick
and mystery intense.
If possible take the ashes from the burnt bloodroot incense and scatter them on the doorstep or
an area frequented by the original caster of the spell/curse.
Burn the black and white candles with the sigils for seven days or until gone (it’s okay to put the
flames out while you’re not there and then relight the candles when you return). Once the
candles are spent, gather the remaining wax and either bury it or dispose of it in running water.
