Basic Binding Spell

This spell should be cast when someone is using negitive magick against you. Before rushing into this process, make sure that you know that you are being attacked magickally and by who. This should be checked through magick, divination, prayer and meditation. Once you are positive that a certain person is using negitive magick against you, begin the spell.

Materials Needed:

a.. Spool of black ribbon
b.. Poppet of the person you intend to bind
c.. Black pouch made of a tough material such as leather
d.. Black candle
e.. Chalice of water (rain or river water is best)
f.. Coal, granite or some other powerful stone associted with the element of earth
g.. Musk incense & Censer
Time: Waning moon, noon

Procedure:
Place the rock, water, incense, and candle around you to form the points of a square. (Rock being diagonal to incense and water being diagonal to candle). Now sit under the stars and meditate on the impact that this persons negitive magick has had on your life. Once you have all of the negitive recourse in your mind, hold the poppet in you receptive (left) hand, and slowy, starting at the feet, wrap the poppet in black ribbon, as if it were a mummy.Be sure to leave no spot exposed. As you wrap, chat the following or similar:

"With (name's) own evil does s/he her/himself bind,
his/her magick powers s/he shall not find!"

As you chant and wrap, visualize all the negitivity from the magick that this person has cast flowing into the ribbon that binds the poppet.

Once the poppet is totally wraped, place it in the pouch and draw it shut. Now proclaim in a loud voice:

"(name) has been bound in the pressence of the elements and the gods. May s/he remain as such untill this poppet again sees the light of day. So mote it be!"

Store the pouch with the bound poppet in a dark place. When you decide to un-bind it, take the pouch into the noon sun of the waxing moon and unwrap the poppet. Visualize the negitivity tied in the ribbon disinigrating in the light of the sun. Say the following or similar:

"(name) is now unbound; a creature of free will in magick and in heart. Blessed be!"

Notes: Please realize that bindings do not always work! It may take multiple attemps at binding a person before it actually takes. For this reason, you should NEVER let the subject of your binding spell know what you plan to do or have done. Since they obviously have already dabbled in negitive magick, the recourse could be literally disasterous.
