Banishing Spell

~Tools Needed
~A black candle
~A lighter or matches
~Knife to carve into your candle (I use an Exacto knife)
~Paper
~Pen
~Toilet or stream

A place where you can bury something in the ground.

Get four small pieces of paper and on each piece write the person's name or the name of whatever it is you need to banish. On the opposite side draw a pentacle.

Carve the same word and the pentacle on a black candle also.

Do what you would normally do as far as visualizing this thing or person being drawn away from you and ask the Goddess for assistance.
Light the candle.

Take the four pieces of paper and burn one, saying, "I banish ______ with the power of fire. So mote it be."

Bury another one in dirt, saying, "I banish ______ with the power of Earth. So mote it be."

Flush one down the toilet, saying, I banish ______ with the power of Water. So mote it be."

Then tear one into little pieces and throw it out your window, saying, "I banish ______ with the power of Wind. So mote it be."

Let your black candle burn down.

Note: It is really best to use VERY small pieces of paper, because you are going to be littering, after all. Also, if you prefer to work outside, you can obviously use a stream instead of your toilet. It really doesn't matter how you do this, but it IS important that your intention be clear. The only time this did not work for me is when I tried to banish someone very important to me that I should not have been banishing in the first place. I put my candle out halfway through because I had reconsidered. The spell did not work, and there were no unintended consequences. Your intention is really more important than getting the spell exactly right.
