Banishing spell: Are you dealing with negative energy, toxic people, or bad habits that just won’t leave your life?
Maybe you’ve tried regular protection spells but need something stronger to actively remove unwanted influences instead of just blocking them.
Banishing spells are the solution when you need to forcefully push something away from you.
Today, I’m sharing 5 powerful ways to cast a banishing spell that actually works. These methods range from simple to more advanced, giving you options for different situations and experience levels.
By the end of this guide, you’ll know exactly how to banish negativity, people, habits, or energies from your life permanently.
What Is a Banishing Spell?
A banishing spell is a magical ritual designed to forcefully remove unwanted energy, people, influences, or situations from your life.
Unlike protection spells that create barriers to keep negativity out, banishing spells actively push things away and prevent them from returning.
When you cast a banishing spell, you’re commanding something to leave and stay gone.
These spells work by breaking the connection between you and whatever you’re banishing, then sealing the door so it cannot come back. Banishing magic is more aggressive than simple protection.
Banishing spells can remove toxic people from your life, eliminate bad habits, get rid of negative energy in your home, break curses or hexes, end bad luck streaks, or push away any unwanted influence that’s affecting you.
When to Use a Banishing Spell
Use a banishing spell when protection alone isn’t enough. These situations call for banishing magic:
Toxic people who won’t leave you alone: When someone keeps contacting you, showing up, or inserting themselves into your life despite your wishes
Persistent negative energy: When your home or space feels heavy with negativity that won’t clear with normal cleansing
Bad habits or addictions: When you want to break patterns that harm you but can’t seem to stop
Curses or hexes: When you believe someone has magically attacked you and you need to remove their influence
Stalkers or harassers: When someone is bothering you and you need them to go away permanently
Financial problems: When debt or money issues keep recycling and you need to break the cycle
Unwanted spirits: When ghosts or spiritual entities are bothering you in your home
Banishing spells are serious magic. Only use them when you genuinely need something gone. Don’t banish people just because they annoy you sometimes. Save this magic for true problems that need forceful removal.
5 Ways To Do a Banishing Spell For Beginners
Here are the 5 ways to do a banishing spell to seal off your enemies from your life and have inner peace.
Method 1: Freezer Banishing Spell
The freezer banishing spell is one of the most popular methods because it’s simple, effective, and works for banishing people or situations.
What You Need
- Paper and pen
- Small container or plastic bag that seals
- Water
- Your freezer
How to Cast It
Write the name of the person or situation you’re banishing on the paper. If banishing a person, include their full name and birthday if you know it. If banishing a situation, write a description like “debt” or “anxiety attacks.”
Place the paper in your container. Fill the container with water. As you pour the water, say: “I freeze you out, I freeze you away, you have no power, you cannot stay. Frozen solid, frozen cold, your influence over me I now withhold.”
Seal the container tightly. Place it in the back of your freezer where it won’t be disturbed.
How It Works
Freezing someone in ice stops their movement and influence in your life. The cold literally freezes them out. They become unable to affect you because they’re frozen in place, powerless.
Leave the container frozen for at least three months. Some practitioners keep freeze spells in their freezer permanently.
To end the spell, remove the container, let it thaw completely, then dispose of the water and paper far from your home.
This banishing spell works quickly. Most people notice the target person or situation fading from their life within days to weeks.
Method 2: Cord Cutting Banishing Ritual
Cord cutting is a banishing spell that severs energetic connections between you and what you’re removing. This method is excellent for breaking ties with people or past situations.
What You Need
- Black candle
- White candle
- String or ribbon (about 12 inches)
- Scissors
- Matches
How to Cast It
Place the two candles about a foot apart. The black candle represents what you’re banishing. The white candle represents you.
Tie one end of the string to the base of the black candle and the other end to the white candle. The string represents the energetic cord connecting you.
Light both candles. Visualize the energy connection between you and what you’re banishing. See all the ways this person or situation is tied to you.
Say: “This cord that binds me now must break, this connection I forsake. What ties us together I now sever, banished from my life forever.”
Use the scissors to cut the string in the middle. As you cut, visualize the connection breaking instantly and completely.
Let both candles burn completely down. Dispose of the black candle remains far from your home. Keep the white candle remains or dispose of them safely.
Why It Works
This banishing spell physically represents cutting the energetic cords that bind you to unwanted influences. The act of cutting the string breaks the spiritual connection at the same time.
You should feel immediate relief after cord cutting. The person or situation will begin fading from your life as the severed connection prevents them from accessing your energy.
Method 3: Mirror Box Banishing Spell
The mirror box banishing spell traps negative energy or people and reflects their influence back to them instead of letting it reach you.
What You Need
- Small box with lid
- 4 to 6 small mirrors or aluminum foil
- Photo or name of target written on paper
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Black candle
How to Cast It
Line the inside of the box completely with mirrors facing inward. If you don’t have small mirrors, line it with aluminum foil (shiny side facing in).
Place the photo or name paper in the center of the box. Sprinkle black pepper and salt over it. These add banishing power.
Close the box. Seal the edges with wax from the black candle by dripping it along the seams.
Say: “Trapped in mirrors, trapped in glass, your power over me cannot pass. What you send bounces back to you, this banishing is final and true.”
Where to Put It
Bury the sealed box far from your home, or hide it in a dark place like the back of a closet or attic. The box traps the person or energy and keeps them contained and powerless.
This banishing spell is particularly effective against people who are sending you negative energy, hexes, or ill will. The mirrors trap and reflect their intentions back to them endlessly.
Method 4: Fire Banishing Spell
Fire destroys completely, making it one of the most powerful elements for banishing magic. This method permanently removes what you’re banishing.
What You Need
- Paper and pen
- Fireproof bowl or cauldron
- Matches or lighter
- Optional: banishing herbs like rosemary, sage, or rue
How to Cast It
Write out everything you want to banish on the paper. Be specific and detailed. Include names, situations, feelings, or anything you want gone from your life.
If using herbs, sprinkle them on the paper. Hold the paper and feel all your desire to be free of this thing. Channel your anger, frustration, or pain into the paper.
Light the paper on fire and drop it into your fireproof bowl. As it burns, say: “Fire burn and fire consume, banish this [thing] from my room. Turn to ash and smoke and air, gone forever from everywhere.”
Watch the paper burn completely to ash. Visualize what you’re banishing turning to nothing, just like the paper.
Disposal
Take the ashes outside immediately. Scatter them to the wind while saying: “Ashes scatter, ashes blow, away from me you now must go.”
Alternatively, flush the ashes down the toilet or bury them at a crossroads far from your home.
Fire banishing spells work very quickly because fire destroys instantly. You often notice results within 24 to 72 hours.
Method 5: Waning Moon Banishing Ritual
The waning moon (when the moon is getting smaller) is the natural time for banishing magic. This method uses lunar energy to pull things away from you.
What You Need
- Black candle
- Paper and pen
- Bowl of water
- Salt
- Night when the moon is waning (check lunar calendar)
How to Cast It
Wait for the moon to be in its waning phase. The three days right after the full moon are most powerful for banishing.
Write what you’re banishing on the paper. Place the black candle on your altar or workspace with the bowl of water next to it.
Light the candle and say: “As the moon decreases night by night, this [thing] fades from my sight. Waning moon, pull it away, banish it further every day.”
Burn the paper in the candle flame and drop the ashes into the bowl of water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to neutralize the energy.
Continuing the Spell
Let the candle burn at least one hour each night during the waning moon phase. Each night, repeat: “Further away with each passing day, banished completely, gone to stay.”
When the moon reaches the new moon (completely dark), dispose of the water by pouring it down the drain or at a crossroads. Your banishing is complete.
This banishing spell grows stronger each night as the moon wanes. By the new moon, whatever you’re banishing should be completely removed from your life.
How to Make Banishing Spells Stronger
These techniques increase the power of any banishing spell:
Use the Right Moon Phase
Cast banishing spells during the waning moon for maximum power. The waning moon naturally pulls things away, supporting your intention to banish.
Add Banishing Herbs
Herbs that help banishing include:
- Black pepper (sends negativity away forcefully)
- Rue (breaks hexes and removes negativity)
- Rosemary (purifies and protects during banishing)
- Garlic (powerful banishing and protection)
- Vinegar (sours and spoils what you’re banishing)
- Sulfur (traditional banishing ingredient, use carefully)
Use Banishing Colors
Black candles are traditional for banishing. Dark blue or dark purple also work. Avoid using white, pink, or bright colors which attract rather than repel.
Speak With Authority
Don’t ask or request during banishing spells. Command. Say “You are banished” not “Please leave.” Your firm intention makes the spell stronger.
Visualize Completely
See what you’re banishing actually leaving and disappearing. Make the visualization as real and detailed as possible.
Add Physical Action
Physically throw something away, cut something, or push something out the door while casting. The physical action reinforces the energetic banishing.
What Happens After You Cast a Banishing Spell
After casting a banishing spell, you’ll notice these signs:
The target fades from your life: People stop calling, showing up, or being present. Situations resolve themselves or become less pressing.
You feel lighter: Energetic weight lifts as the connection breaks and what you banished leaves.
Strange resistance at first: Sometimes banished things fight back initially before leaving. Don’t interpret this as the spell failing. Push through.
Dreams about the target: You might dream about the person or situation as your subconscious processes the banishing.
Physical signs: Mirrors cracking, electronic issues, or strange occurrences as energy shifts and the banishing takes effect.
Finality: After the spell completes, you feel a sense of closure and completion. The issue simply stops being a problem.
Most banishing spells show results within two weeks. Very powerful spells or those cast during perfect timing (waning moon, right herbs, strong intention) can work within days.
Important Warnings About Banishing Spells
Banishing magic is serious and requires responsibility. Follow these warnings:
You Cannot Undo Banishing Easily
Once something is banished, bringing it back is difficult or impossible. Make absolutely sure you want it gone before casting.
Be Specific
If you banish “all toxic people,” you might accidentally banish someone you want to keep. Name exactly who or what you’re removing.
Consider Consequences
Banishing your boss might get them transferred, but it might also cost you your job. Think through what might happen when they’re gone.
Don’t Banish Out of Anger
Wait until you’re calm and certain before casting. Angry banishing can backfire or remove things you later regret losing.
Protect Yourself First
Cast protection spells before banishing spells. Banishing sometimes causes the target to lash out energetically before they leave.
Never Banish Someone Else’s Person
Don’t banish someone from another person’s life. Only banish from your own life. Their relationships are not your business magically.
Disposing of Banishing Spell Materials
Proper disposal is crucial for banishing spells to work completely:
Bury: Bury items at a crossroads, cemetery, or far from your home. As you bury them, walk away without looking back.
Burn: Burn paper, herbs, or other flammable items completely to ash, then dispose of ashes away from home.
Throw away: Place items in an outside trash can (not your home trash) or dumpster far from your house.
Running water: Throw items into a river or stream so the water carries them away from you forever.
Flush: Flush water-soluble items like ashes or liquids down the toilet to flush them out of your life.
Never keep banishing spell materials in your home after the spell is done. They hold the energy of what you banished and can cause problems if kept around.
Can You Banish Yourself?
Yes, you can banish your own bad habits, thought patterns, or aspects of yourself you want to eliminate. This is called shadow work or self-banishing.
To banish parts of yourself:
- Be very specific about what trait or habit you’re removing
- Make sure you’re not banishing something essential to your personality
- Fill the void with something positive (if you banish negativity, invite in positivity)
- Be gentle with yourself during the process
Self-banishing is powerful personal transformation magic but requires careful thought about what you’re removing from yourself.
Final Thoughts
These 5 methods for casting a banishing spell give you powerful tools to remove unwanted influences from your life. The freezer spell works for people who won’t leave you alone.
Cord-cutting breaks energetic ties. Mirror boxes trap and reflect negative energy. Fire spells destroy completely. Waning moon rituals pull things away gradually.
Choose your method based on what you’re banishing and how quickly you need results. Freezer spells and cord cutting work well for relationship issues.
Fire spells excel at destroying habits or energy. Mirror boxes target specific people sending negativity. Waning moon rituals are perfect for gradual removal.
Remember that banishing spells are serious magic with permanent results. Cast them with clear intention, follow through with proper disposal, and protect yourself during the process.
When done correctly, a banishing spell permanently removes what you don’t want, creating space for what you do want to enter your life.
