What is banishing?

Banishing and cleansing can sometimes go hand-in-hand. Banishing can help to get rid of negative energies caused by baneful magic, as well as getting rid of negative entities. In this post I will also go through some common types of negative entities. These will be my personal definitions, some people may use other terms, but these are the terms that I use and what they personally mean to me.

Types of Negative Entities

Negative Spirits- negative spirits are generally things i classify as passed away people who have left behind negative energy. This can result in negative energies or even negative manifestations. This term is a term I use to classify some shadow people; not all shadow people are negative spirits, but some can be. A lot of shadow people are more neutral, leftover energies.

Trickster Spirits- this term is different then trickster deities, like Loki. Trickster spirits are entities that exist on the astral plane, they may or may not benefit humans. From my personal experience with them, they do tend to be quite harmless, usually. My deities have told me that there are times where they will send a trickster spirit into someone's space to test their protections and wards, and sometimes to test how well that person can banish as well. They have personally done this to me as well. From my experience, trickster spirits can be passed away people, or other entities that reside on the astral plane. Not all of them are harmless, some of them can definitely be quite harmful and cause very negative chaos and havoc. These spirits are often known to impersonate deities.

Parasites- these negative entities are rarely passed away people from my experience. They feed off of people's energies and can make someone feel drained or even physically sick. Parasites can also be referred to as negative attachments. I make the distinction of ‘negative’ because everyone has attachments. By this I mean that everyone has spirit guides, who follow them around wherever they go. This is what an attachment is, an entity that follows you around everywhere. However, spirit guides are in no way negative, they are there to guide us and help us with our lives. These entities, on the other hand, feed off our energy and cause us to feel run down or even become ill.

Why should I banish?

Banishing is not only useful for getting rid of negative entities, but (similar to cleansing) it can help to get rid of negative energy as well. Banishing is useful because it can allow you to focus on negativity that you have around you and get rid of it. Banishing can be very helpful when doing something like shadow work as well, being able to banish the negative thoughts and negative energies surrounding those thoughts.

How do I know when I should use banishing?

This question can be a bit complicated, but I will try to break it down. I will start by explaining when to discern if banishing a spirit may be necessary. When you are working with spirits, deities, and other entities, banishing is something you may find yourself needing to do sometimes. If the entity isn’t acting like they normally do, you may want to consider trying to vet them; asking them questions you know the answers to either from their mythology or with past interactions with them to make sure they are who they say they are. I will be writing another post on vetting later. If the entity fails this vetting process, and it turns out they are not who they say they are, banishing may be necessary (there are some deities who will pretend to be other deities, so it's important to take this into account, and ensure that this is not the case).

Banishing can also be helpful in cases where you are trying to release negative, old, or stuck energy. You can banish these energies from your life, making it easier to move forward on your path. If you are feeling particularly stuck with certain emotions or with general negativity (this can also include things like intrusive thoughts) you can use banishing as an aid to help remove these energies from your life!

How do I banish?

As with some of my previous posts, I will outline some different ways to banish here; this will not be an exhaustive list. Since banishing and cleansing are very similar, some of these methods/tools may overlap with cleansing methods and tools.

Smoke cleansing

Banishment candles

Sigils

Crystals

Herbs

Cleansing/banishing bath/shower

Bells (sound cleansing)

Some of these methods have been covered before in my post on cleansing, so I will be skipping over these and focusing on the methods that have not been mentioned before.

How to use sigils in banishing?

There are many different ways to use and create sigils. Many of the sigils I use, I make all on my own. There are websites that can also assist in the creation of sigils. I recommend exploring and finding what works with you if you are feeling drawn to using sigils for banishment or in your practice in general.

Crystals used for banishing

Black tourmaline

Citrine

Aventurine

Amethyst

Turquoise

Herbs used in banishing

Sage (once again, please do not use white sage unless you are part of that culture or have been given white sage as a gift)

Dill

Cloves

Cayenne pepper

Salt

Pepper

Chili powder

Can banishing backfire/fail? How do I prevent it from backfiring?

As with all other spellwork, confidence and intentions are what is most important here. If a banishing fails, it will most likely not affect you in any negative ways unless you are also trying to do baneful magic. Otherwise, it failing will most likely just result in the negative energy/entity you are trying to banish staying in your space, and you having to try again. In order to ensure that a spell doesn’t fail, having confidence that it will work, having confidence in yourself, and ensuring that it is definitely something you WANT are all very important.

What if my banishment didn’t work? What if whatever I’m facing is too strong?

There can be a few different things you can do here, depending on the situation. You can, of course, ask your spirit team to help you with the banishment (as well as any other spellwork). If you are trying to banish negative thoughts/feelings, and it doesn’t work, it may be because you are still going through healing that needs to happen. This can involve both shadow work and therapy to work through most of the time. When it comes to magic in general, there are many times where you will need to do mundane work alongside magical workings in order to make it work. If there is a negative entity in your space that will not leave even with banishment, it may be time to call on your spirit team to help you get rid of it. You might also try to change the banishment method you are using as well.

HOW TO BANISH A SPIRIT/ENTITY

do you have a not so friendly ghost in your home? or even just a spirit who has invaded your presence? or maybe a entity whom you no longer want in your space? if so, then this is the perfect spell for you. follow each steps, and this spirit shall be no more. (it’s fine if you substitute ingredients/objects in this spell, as long as your intent is strong)

Disclaimer: (ESPECIALLY with this spell it is vital that you already know how to protect yourself using magick, and have done a protection spell before this. also if you feel intuitively that you should swap some ingredients that’s fine too! you don’t have to follow the exact way I preformed this spell)

BACKSTORY:

earlier this year, my sister became haunted by the presence of a spirit who was deeply attached to her and her essence. Like myself, and many other witches, i practice tarot, so ofc I did divination on this situation and steps to take to move forward. Obviously this “man” or spirit as you may call it was no good. So I successfully banished him with this spell that I’ve created. Now, it is important to note, if you know the spirit name that is powerful and could further more feed into the spell, so that the energy has a direct target. However, (like in my case) if you don’t know the spirits name that’s fine too. Just make sure the intention is strong.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

-a white sachet bag

-a piece of paper

-black pepper- to ward off negative and unwanted spirits and entities from (name) and to banish them

-cinnamon- to provide (name) with protection from unwanted spirits and entities

-rusty nails- may anyone, people, spirit or entity that attempts to inflict harm onto (name) be reversed back banefully. May these rusty nails stand for a harsh protection.

-paprika- to speed up the speed of this spell, to protect (name) from negative energy, and unwanted spirits and entities

-garlic- to ward off and BANISH any unwanted spirits and entities and negative energies

-salt- protection, neutralize negative energy, ward off unwanted spirits

- a black candle

STEP 1:

now what you’ll want to do is cleanse the space with incense. (You should use a herbal incense that corresponds with protection) and ask your spirit guides or deities/ancestors (if you work with them) to protect and guide you during this spell.

STEP TWO:

write corresponding affirmations on piece of paper such “I banish any spirit/entity from my space, home, and essence entirely. I banish thee”. Fold this paper AWAY from you, then carve banishing affirmations onto black candle. Place black candle on top of the affirmation paper. Then add said ingredients as listed above onto the candle with the intent to banish this spirit from you or (someone else’s) life. Lastly you can light this candle.

STEP THREE:

as the candle is burning, play this banishment frequency, while mediating/visualizing this spirit leaving you alone forever. Along with saying aloud corresponding affirmations to the burning candle. You can play this frequency as many times as you like or what feels right for you.

here is the link to the frequency;

https://youtu.be/rfQVgVayXcc?si=io2fVFn6v6P4V65K

STEP FOUR:

now once the candle has fully burned on top of the affirmation paper, place this inside of the sachet bag. Below is a photo of the spell I did, it should look something like this;

Hey, I don't know if you've already done something like this, but could you do a spell to banish a crush? I like this guy, but I don't want to.

Hello hello!

Crushes can be hard - I empathize with you completely.

INSPIRATION FOR BANISHING CRUSHES SPELL

For banishing a crush, here are a few correspondences you can use when crafting a spell of your own:

lemon or lime (juice, slices - whatever you have!)

vinegar

carrot

vervain

thorns (especially if they're from red roses)

pistachio shells

red/pink/black colors/candles

Now, in terms of crafting your own spell... if it were me, I would probably do something like this (please note I haven't actually tried this spell, this is just some brainstorming on what you could try):

prepare your spell space how you normally would (for me, it usually involves lighting incense and/or candles and meditating for a while)

write your crushes' initials, zodiac sign, and any other info you have onto pistachio shells

crush the pistachio shells in a mortar & pestle or whatever you have on-hand

sprinkle the pistachio pieces into a jar of vinegar and lime/lemon juice

place a few lemon seeds and thorns in the jar as well

you may also draw a heart, or some other symbol of romantic love and destroy it in some way - ripping it up, maybe - and place it in the jar as well.

seal up the jar and put it in a drawer somewhere to forget about it. once you feel like the spell is finished (meaning your crush has diminished), you can dispose of the bottle by chucking it in the trash entirely or just throwing away the contents of the jar, and then cleaning/re-purposing the jar itself.

This is something super simple - but obviously you can tweak this however you want, or do something else entirely.

Thanks so much for the ask - this one was fun to come up with!

You Gave Me Nothing Whatsoever But A Reason To Leave - A Dewdrop Ghoul One Shot

“If you would let us, we would like to restore your birthright and name, son.” Torrent said. He hadn’t called Dew his ‘son’ since months before his banishment. “You would supersede Eyre upon your father’s death.” Marina added. “I would follow you and your word, brother.” Eyre confirmed. Dew’s head spun and he spoke before he thought, “Fuck no.” The three gazes that had slowly been softening suddenly turned back to that familiar coldness again. “You dare speak to us like that?” Torrent snarled. Fuck it. Or, A really random one shot in which Dew goes back to Hell, and gets a lil catharsis while he's there.

A/n: The idea for royal!Rain comes from these posts X X by hypnoneghoul and this post by skele-bunny. Title take from 'Granite' by Sleep Token.

~~~

    Why did he get stuck with this? Him, of all people, sent on a fucking messenger mission back down to Hell. Who in the Clergy decided ‘Oh, yes. Dewdrop, he’ll do great!’ It wasn’t like his behaviour record was clean, he certainly wasn’t a good delegate and, most importantly, he hated his home dimension.

    The Clergy was in an odd limbo as Copia ascended to be Frater Imperator and they were waiting for the new guy to arrive, and what would usually be a message sent via Ritual conducted by the Papa could no longer be carried out. So, the Clergy decided to send a Ghoul. Instantly, everyone thought it would go to one of the more mature Ghouls like Aether or Mountain. But it got passed to Dew.

    So, here he stood, on a pentagram ready to get sent home. At least he would be coming back, his bond to the Ministry wouldn’t be broken. That didn’t make it any less terrifying though. Dew was going to be isolated from his pack for the first time since his forced Elemental transition. And he hated that fact. He wasn’t allowed to take anyone with him as they needed their hands up here, but Dew knew better than to try and tempt the Clergy to anger by now, despite knowing Copia would never let anything bad happen to him.

    He stood in the pentagram, Copia along with other Clergy started to chant to open the portal and Dew just willed his body to not to wet himself. He truly was that scared. The magic started tingling along his skin as his soul was forced back down. He knew better than to fight the magic as well, and gave into it.

    It took a while to pop out on the other side, and Dew knew why. His first destination was one that he never wanted to return to and those meant to accept the summoning certainly didn’t want to see him either. When he emerged, he landed in a heap to no fanfare or welcome. His sort-of-fame from the Ghost project meant nothing down here. And especially here.

(Read below the cut or on ao3)

    “Dewdrop Aquariunt.” A voice he hoped to never hear again sneered, “They sent you then.”

    “I think you’ll find it’s Dewdrop Ignisriunt now.” He said, dusting himself off as he stood.

    “You act like that makes any real difference.” She commented.

    “Better than being a Homaestus.” Dew returned.

    The Ghoulette that comprised of his welcoming committee growled, “And you wonder why mother and father disowned you.”

    “They disowned me because I’m a runt. But who got summoned? Me, the embarrassment who was kicked from the family line or you, their dutiful and mindless servant?” Dew asked.

    She went to raise her claws but Dew cut in, “Ah-ah-ah!” He grabbed the bespelled Grucifix rosary around his neck and lifted it, “I’m under Ministry protection. You can’t hurt me without hurting our parents’ precious position in society.”

    She bared her fangs instead.

    “I��ve seen much scarier things than you since you left me, Eyrie-Fairy.” Like Sister Imperator naked that one time. Dew, the Fire Ghoul, still manages to shiver about it to this day.

    “Don’t call me that.” She sneered, walking off to lead Dew to more faces he didn’t want to see again.

    “Why? Reminds of a time you actually liked me?” Dew said as he followed.

    “Satanas, you are insufferable.” Eyre muttered.

    “Aww, Aether says the same thing.” Dew cooed.

    She grunted again before the two fell into silence as they walked along.

    Once upon a time, they had indeed been siblings, and happy at that. But as Dew grew, or rather didn’t grow, it became obvious that he was, in fact, a runt. Runts were a sign of weakness to the family line that Dew’s parents couldn’t dare show. They were the leaders of their pod of Water Ghouls, and held prominent positions for the race of Water Ghouls in general. When Dew was the ripe age of 8 and his gills still hadn’t opened, his parents disowned him. They removed any bond he had with his family and pod and named him Aquariunt, the Water Ghoul last name that showed shame. It was mostly given for a disownment, or sometimes for kits left orphaned and their line wasn’t known. It meant ‘Water’s Spawn’, showing that the Ghoul was not part of their birth line anymore. Now Dew was a Fire Ghoul, he was technically Ignisriunt, Fire’s Spawn, but in his mind, anything was better than his birth line of Homaestus. He wouldn’t dream of ever wanting to be that, ever again.

    He could get all his quips out with his former sister, but he knew it would be short lived. As soon as he was faced with his parents, he was sure he was going to fold in half with how much his shoulders would hunch in. It may have been years ago, but the words they said on that dreadful night still hurt. Dew had expected, had hoped they would just say the words for the Ritual and leave him. But they had said much more and much worse. He had a lot of physical scars by this point, but that emotional one was always one of the worst.

    Dew started seeing some more familiar sights of his old pod’s base camp, and the main tent he once called home. The scents of his parents grew stronger as he walked closer and closer, and Dew mentally pledged to claw out the eyes of whoever arranged this. He would have to go visit other leaders, other Elements, but being made to do this was just cruel.

    His once-sibling pulled the curtain to the main tent back and cleared her throat, “Torrent and Marina Homaestus, Chief and Chiefess of this pod.”

    Dew was expected to bow even when he was their son. Of course, he was expected to bow even lower now.

    “I present Dewdrop Ignisriunt of the Unholy Church Of Satanas.” Eyre finished, herself bowing to her parents before taking her place at their sides as she was the next Chiefess. As Dew was older, he would have been the next Chief if he wasn’t kicked out.

    “Dewdrop.” Torrent sneered, permitting Dew to rise up from his bow.

    “Chief.” Dew said, keeping his eyes downcast. He couldn’t call him ‘father’ anymore and wasn’t allowed to look him in the eye.

    “Ignisriunt, is it now?” Marina added.

    “It is indeed, Chiefess.” Dew confirmed.

    She chuffed a laugh and shook her head, “Still weak then.”

    Dew didn’t dare give her an answer. If anything, the fact that he was a runt and survived his brutal transformation attested more to his strength than weakness.

    “So, the Ministry sent you? Let’s get this done with.” Torrent said.

    Dew fished through his bag for the scrolls that Copia had sent with him. He would have to read them out to his sire and dam because Water Ghouls, even ones as prominent as the Homaestus line, couldn’t read or write. Water and paper don’t exactly mix, after all. Dew had learnt how to read after his summoning from Mountain and Aether, who’s Elements thrived on knowledge and making sure it was preserved for generations to come.

    As Dew read through the documents, he made sure his voice stayed strong and he focused on not messing up a single word. He was a creature of spite, probably why he survived being abandoned at just 7-years-old, and he would never want to add more fuel to the fire of hate his birth line had for him.

    The Chiefess stood at one point and started walking around Dewdrop and inspecting him, for lack of a better word. To be fair, he couldn’t blame her. Elemental transitions are unheard of and especially one as brutal as Water to Fire.

    She sat back down, and the Chief and Chiefess spoke their responses for the Clergy. It was rather routine for the leaders at this point. It was a formality that all the tribe leaders of any Element did to keep the relations with the humans. While rarely used, there are ways for Ghouls to forbid passage to Earth and for the humans to lose safe passage for their servants. It would then turn to brutal and painful summonings that the Ghouls may not even survive, or at least become very injured.

    It was also a way for the Ghouls below to register their interest in being summoned. It was never a guarantee, Dew himself never chose to be summoned, but it allowed the Clergy to pinpoint willing souls who would give into the summoning easier, and submit quicker to their new Master.

    Dew finished writing their responses, in English rather than Ghoulish so that the Clergy could read them, and left the notebook open so that the ink could dry.

    “The Clergy thanks the most powerful Chief Torrent and Chiefess Marina Homaestus for their time and cooperation.” It was a formality drilled into Dew, but the words felt like ash in his mouth.

    Dew kept his head bowed, waiting to be dismissed.

    “You’ve done well, Dewdrop.” Torrent said cooly.

    Did Dew’s ears just stop working? There is no way he just heard that��

    “S- sir?” Dew said, still bowed.

    “Look at me, Dewdrop.” Torrent asked. While Dew wasn’t supposed to look at him since been shunned, he couldn’t exactly deny the Chief.

    Dew had never forgotten that icy stare of his sire. It always managed to bore holes into him and make him feel even smaller than he already was.

    “You have done remarkably, given your unfortunate circumstance.” He went on.

    Dew wanted to say something about how part of that “circumstance” was his fault but bit his tongue.

    “Thank you, sir.” Dew mumbled, forced to meet his sire’s eyes but wanting to rip his own away so bad.

    “What exactly did they do to you to make you into a Fire Ghoul?” Marina asked, curiosity alight in her equally piercing gaze.

    “I- I wasn’t given a choice. One of my mates, Ifrit, he was the Fire Ghoul. There was a lot that happened in the Ministry, within the Clergy, and he was killed.” Dew had to take a deep breath so he didn’t cry at the memory, “The Clergy don’t like summoning Fire Ghouls because it’s too difficult and expensive, but Water Ghouls are easily replaced. So, they took me in my sleep, and I couldn’t fight back. They made a serum from Ifrit’s blood, forced me onto a pentagram, injected me in my gills and started chanting. Then I burned.”

    That was the easiest way to put it because Dew did burn, and he had the scars to prove it.

    “What changed? Physically. What did ‘burning’ entail?” Torrent questioned.

    Dew didn’t like talking about this part especially. It took him months to describe the sheer and utter torture to Aether, let alone anyone else. But Dew couldn’t deny the Chief. He’d never been able to go toe-to-toe with him.

    “My gills melted shut, both sets.” One hand pulled the neck of his Ministry uniform to show the burn-scars there, the other gestured to his clothed ribs where matching ones lay, “All my scales, webbing and fins burned off. My hair changed colour, my horns fogged up, one crumbled off. My hands darkened, I run a lot warmer now, and one of my eyes turned red.” He tapped his face, where the skin around the socket was slightly smoky, dusted by charcoal like his hands. His blue eye was surrounded by small scars from where his scales burned out.

    “It felt like the worst pain imaginable. I thought I was going to die; I wished for it. I kept passing out from pain and exhaustion and when I was awake, I was in agony. Twitching and writhing because I couldn’t flail around anymore. Breathing felt impossible, my throat had burned out and I couldn’t scream, my tail was fixed around my stomach. Just, everything was terrible. I was locked in a cell; I was deprived of water even to drink for a few weeks so that they could make sure the Fire took to me. Locked away from my mates, and another one was taken and killed in that time too. Their name was Zephyr. Terzo was killed as well, with his brothers and Mountain and Aether refused to leave my bedside after they found me. I was in a coma for weeks after that. But I survived.”

    “Fascinating.” Marina whispered. For the first time in Dew’s life, she looked at him with something that was almost pride.

    “Before and after, you were in the Clergy’s project, weren’t you?” Torrent asked.

    “Yes, sir. Still am.” Dew said, confused as he was pretty sure that no one down here had heard of Ghost.

    “We have heard stories from Ghouls returned to Hell. One called Alpha, another called Omega. The half-breed Delta visits a nearby pod sometimes with the Ghoulette Mist. One called Pebble also brings tales.” Marina said.

    Dew’s eyes widened at the names of his old friends. After sometime while he was asleep, following Ifrit and Terzo’s murder, the retired Ghouls had fled back to Hell save meeting the same fate. No one knew if they had survived as, usually, a Papa would oversee the portal opening and closing.

    “Th- they’re here? They made it?” Dew asked incredulously.

    “Indeed. Mist is very interesting to speak with.” Eyre said, silent up until now.

    Dew could definitely agree with that.

    “They tell stories of how beloved you were as a Water Ghoul. We know that His word had only spread more with this project, so I assume that love for you with it?” Mariana said.

    Dew smirked slightly, knowing he often sent fans a bit more than feral.

    “All things considered,” Torrent said, “we aren’t sure we properly estimated you, Dewdrop.”

    “Excuse me, sir?” Dew said.

    “This isn’t said easily, but we do believe we made a mistake by shunning you.” The Chief said.

    Dew’s eyes widened again, but this time in confusion.

    “You have proved to be strong and invaluable.” Mariana said.

    “If you would let us, we would like to restore your birthright and name, son.” Torrent said.

    He hadn’t called Dew his ‘son’ since months before his banishment.

    “You would supersede Eyre upon your father’s death.” Marina added.

    “I would follow you and your word, brother.” Eyre confirmed.

    Dew’s head spun and he spoke before he thought, “Fuck no.”

    The three gazes that had slowly been softening suddenly turned back to that familiar coldness again.

    “You dare speak to us like that?” Torrent snarled.

    Fuck it.

    “You dare to leave a kit to fend for himself? Hoping that some creature will kill him so you don’t have to?” Dew scoffed, “A Fire Ghoul? Leading a Water clan? That’s ridiculous, no one would follow me. Just because I’m traumatised by what I’ve been through makes you think I’m the son you always wanted doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you. What you said, what you did to me hurt. Remind me, my dam and sire, what were your last words to me before you left me for dead?”

    The two stayed silent, their upper lips pealed back to bare their fangs.

    “Do you not remember? Because I do. I hear it every night in my nightmares. You shall henceforth be known as ‘Aquariunt’ and you shall know a fraction of the humiliation you brought on us. I would kill you myself if it wouldn’t bring me more shame than your presence already has, so you shall die a slow and painful death instead. An atonement for the mortal sin that is your meagre and wretched existence.”

    “What else do you do with the runt of the litter?” Marina spat.

    “Love me? Like it or not, you’re still the ones that made me. I’m your son.”

    “How could we love something so absurdly horrific?” Eyre sneered.

    “Do you want a list of those who have?” Dew raised his hand and counted across his fingers, “Terzo, Copia, Aether, Mountain, Ifrit, Zephyr, Omega, Alpha, Mist, Ivy, Pebble, Delta, Rain, Swiss, Cirrus, Cumulus, Aurora, Sunshine and Phantom.”

    “Fools then. The lot of them.” Torrent remarked.

    Dew knew they would change their tunes quickly. His parents didn’t have any sort of emotion other than their lust for power and status. They had heard stories, and when Dew had confirmed those stories, seen he had a skill that they didn’t – even one as basic as reading and writing – they saw an opportunity for some good old-fashioned nepotism and couldn’t resist. But as soon as Dew, the horrific little creature he was, rightly pointed out the gaping flaws in their logic and realised that they couldn’t puppet him, they went back to their tirade of tyranny against him.

    He knew something else that would make them change tunes as well though.

    “Even Rain? He’s a fool? Does that name not ring a bell?” Dew smiled.

    The realisation on his former family’s faces made him fail to stifle a giggle.

    “Rain is a fair and just Prince, but I’m sure he wouldn’t take too kindly to being called a fool by the two who have caused me, one of his mates, so much pain. Just as I’m sure he wouldn’t like his other mates, friends and his Papa being called fools too.” Dew said.

    It was often surprisingly forgettable that Rain was a Prince. Each Element had their own revered and respected Royal family, and Rain was part of the one for Water Ghouls. Rain never acted like you would expect for his station, and maybe that was because he was 3rd in line and likely to never inherit his mother’s throne, especially after Rain’s older siblings have had their own kits, but he was just like any other Ghoul. Other than the fact he had a lot more security around the Abbey and while on tour.

    “You wouldn’t dare.” Mariana muttered.

    “I get asked that question a lot. Most often the answer is I would indeed.” Dew said.

    He revelled in watching them squirm.

    “Anyway, for the Ministry, this has been a most productive visit. For me, quite cathartic, yes, buy otherwise entirely unpleasant.” Dew said, clapping his hands together, “Chief Torrent, Chiefess Marina, Heiress Eyre.” He bowed and showed himself out. And he flipped the three of them off on the way out, to visit the next pod of Water Ghouls.

    Maybe this trip wasn’t the worst idea after all…

*infomercial voice* Banish those pesky thots from battle with this easy to use tool!

[boymanmaletheshequel]

Ritual for banishing a daemon or dark energy

Last night, I performed a banishment ritual of a demonic or negative entity that i believe has been attached to me for quite some time, perhaps left over from my Christianity before I converted to paganism. This entity manifests itself through strife in my waking life, but recently, for the first time, I had a truly terrifying and intense face to face standoff in a lucid episode of sleep paralysis it used to attack me in, in which I saw it’s true form for the first time, and I fought it off in a spiritual standoff. I thought I had won, but the next night, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a bell ringing in my bedroom, a metaphorical hells bell. So I decided to perform a ritual and chant to banish it the next night at the same time I had heard the bell before. Now I know many pagans, especially those who are damaged from prior experiences with abrahamic religion, often deal with such energies and forces left over, and I’d like to share the process with you all to offer some insight into how you might go about banishing and cleansing such an energy. Keep in mind that everybody has different trauma and experiences that negative entities feed off of and manipulate, so my solution will likely not be a catch-all, but it is a place I think some of you may consider starting from as a scratch sheet!

Things you’ll need:

- a candle, preferably white, but any will do the trick, (I used a scented pine candle, representative of myself and my intentions.)

- a match or lighter to light said candle

- some sort of cleansing liquid, smoke, or oil, to purify and shield yourself from attack (I used storm water personally)

- an idol to a god or some other religious token to protect you during your ritual (I used an obsidian goddess carving and summoned Melinoe to look over and witness the ritual)

- a spell bag to place somewhere in your house as a ward to prevent future attacks, you can fill this bag with any combination of things, but I personally used:

• a sigil to ward off demonic or malicious spirits

• a small piece of black tourmaline

• a small bushel of dried Hawthorne

- and finally, you’ll need to write your banishment chant. This is important, as these are the words you’ll use to order the banishment of the entity. Make sure the chant is true to your intentions for it, is clear and precise with no room for being construed, and is true to your desires for its effect on your target.

The steps I took:

The actual ritual looked something like this, in simple steps that I believe successfully warded off this demon, wether that will be temporarily or permanently, time will tell, as abrahamic demons are some of the most powerful and potentially dangerous dark energies and entities in any religion or spirituality I’ve practiced. Here are the steps I took regardless:

Step one: place your items in front of you on a flat surface, with your candle in the middle of them.

Step two: hold the idol in your hands, and speak the name of the deity, angel, spirit, or any other entity, summoning them to be a witness and protector over you during your ritual. (Again, I chose to summon Melinoē, Hellenic goddess of the afterlife, and ruler of daemons and ghosts to bare witness and arbitrate the ritual.

Step three: with your patron deity or spirit summoned to protect you, you may now light the candle with a match or lighter, and begin speaking your banishment chant, make sure you have it laid in front of you if you need a teleprompter to keep you focused, as it’s important not to break focus for too long.

Step four: once you’ve finished your chant, and believe you have successfully banished the oppressive force it’s targeted at, take your oil, incense, or other protective agent and mark yourself with it in some way to protect your body and mind from any negative energy produced during this ritual, so that it doesn’t longer afterwards. (I poured storm water over my forehead and than used my finger to spread a ring of it around the candle to conceal any energy before I put it out)

Step five: extinguish the candle to end the ceremony. Once you have, give permission to any deity or other spirit you summoned to leave, and thank them for their attendance and guidance.

Step six: finally, if you haven’t done so already, take the items you’ve gathered for your ward pouch and place them in it, tying the strings to activate it. Than place it in a spot in your home relevant to your experience. (I placed mine inside my pillow, as this demon most often used my dreams, and sleep paralysis episodes to attack me with.)

And now, you’re done! If all has gone well, hopefully, you will have banished the entity responsible for this oppression wrought upon you. Be careful, be responsible, and be aware of yourself and how you fight this force, as it will determine if you ever have to face it again. Thank you, and have a blessed day. - Isaac.

🜚  Why Cast  . . . You have a pesky spirit bothering you that refuses to leave when asked.

🝯  Ideals  . . .

IDEAL TIME(S):

during the day

new moon

when mars is around

IDEAL LOCATION(S):

wherever the pesky spirit is

🝪  Ingredients & Other Tools  . . .

a wand, stick, or other similarly shaped object

red cloth

tea or water

a firm voice

a talisman with a banishing sigil and the text “Get out from my space” upon it

🝰  Preparation  . . .

Prepare your paper with a banishing sigil and text.

🝮  Steps  . . .

Step into the space where you’re banishing from.

Open a protective circle.

Call upon any entities you wish to have help you.

Place down your drink on the red cloth.

Sit with yourself for a moment, drinking your tea or cup of water halfway.

Stand up, clear your throat, and grab your wand, stick, or etc in one hand, and your paper with sigil in the other.

State clearly and with a firm voice, Get out of my space, get out of my home. You are not welcome here, and I demand you leave.

Many of the things in this only makes sense if you know the character, such as having red cloth specifically because Reimu wears red, sorry, but I promise it's to invoke the energy of the character.

This spell has been tested for efficacy and if it works. It does! Might not work against particularly stubborn spirits that keep returning.

Banished Fireheart AU

I am being perfectly normal about the fictional cat series right now and need to get this off of my chest.

What if when Bluestar banished Tigerclaw, she banished Fireheart too?

This AU would rely entirely on Bluestar losing her mind completely during her mental breakdown, but imagine that instead of trusting Fireheart more because he saved her from Tigerclaw and previously tried to warn her about the tabby tom, she takes the entire incident as proof that Fireheart's loyalty should also be doubted and decides to kill two birds with one stone?

This obviously makes zero sense, but Bluestar is beyond logic when she makes the decision, so to her Fireheart has already proved his own disloyalty by sneaking around and looking for answers behind her back.

AU timeline:

Blue banishes Tiger AND Fire

Fireheart is forced to become a rogue, obviously he can never live with being a kittypet again, so rogue life is his only option

Fire tries to contact other cats in Thunderclan, but he either can't reach them or they chase him away on Bluestar's orders, so he can't help them like he wants to

Tigerclaw becomes Tigerstar the 1st and the Riverclan/Shadowclan alliance happens

Fireheart decides to try his luck with Windclan, and Tallstar actually hears him out, but doesn't want to risk any potential alliances with Thunderclan by offering Fireheart shelter

Fireheart leaves Windclan feeling utterly defeated

Windclan refuses to align themselves with the River/Shadow alliance and Tigerclaw retaliates by executing several Windclan cats, including Gorsepaw

Onewhisker says "to hell with this!" and goes to find Fireheart, because at this point Bluestar has made her disinterest in alliances clear and Windclan needs more warriors to defend it, so why NOT take Fireheart in?

Fireheart is destroyed by the loss of Gorsepaw and his spirit very nearly breaks, but a heart-to-heart with Onewhisker motivates him to keep it together and he decides to return to Windclan with his friend

Tallstar officially names Fireheart as an ally and guest of Windclan

Graystripe comes looking for Fireheart because he needs help to rescue his kits and Sandstorm is the only other volunteer so far

Ravenpaw finds out what is going on through the gossip mill because it's Windclan territory and he is right there, how could he not overhear something?

Ravenpaw joins the raiding party against River/Shadow and reveals his identity to Windclan, who take the knowledge that he is a former Thunderclan cat pretty well

Onewhisker and Morningflower also join the rescue patrol

Tigerstar, who has been looking everywhere for Fireheart except in Windclan territory, expects sneaky and low-key resistance to come from Fireheart at some point: what he does not expect is for Fireheart to launch a full-scale raid on Shadow/River camp while he, Leopardstar, and a shitton of their cats are at the gathering

Fireheart is fucking feral at this point and decides that the warrior code doesn't apply to people that shove little baby apprentices in prison, he injures Blackfoot so badly that the wounds are almost fatal and outright kills two other cats himself. Morningflower also gets a kill in, Sandstorm blinds a Riverclan cat, and Onewhisker rips somebody's ear off in the ensuing fight while Graystripe and Ravenpaw help Stonefur and Mistyfoot evacuate Featherpaw and Stormpaw (this all happens before Tigerstar has the chance to publicly execute Stonefur)

Fireheart books it back to Windclan with his raiding party and their rescued kin

Tigerclaw realizes exactly what happened way too late and is furious, but he doesn't immediately march on Windclan because he has bigger fish to fry and still wants Thunderclan dead

The newly named Tigerclan moves to attack Thunderclan, but Windclan comes to their defense and the two sets of allied clans are temporarily forced into a stalemate

Tigerstar disappears to work on his strategy, this is when he makes the decision to try recruiting Bloodclan

Thunderclan is very confused but not ungrateful to Windclan for their help, and Bluestar rescends her previous decision to alienate Tallstar in a brief moment of clarity (Whitestorm is her deputy and has become her caretaker, doing his best to keep her comforted and alive)

Fireheart leaves immediately after the battle, not wanting his former mentor to see him there and snap again because he firmly believes that this alliance is more important than anything else right now. It kills him to leave without even seeing Cinderpelt, but he doesn't believe that it is possible for him to stay

Sandstorm tries following him at first but Morningflower stops her and goes instead while Graystripe explains the raiding party to Bluestar, who is almost too preoccupied by the presence of her kits to register the fact one of her warriors just admitted to Fireheart being involved in some capacity

Morningflower catches up to Fireheart and we get another emotional conversation, Fireheart let's her see just how much this entire experience has affected him and tries to apologize for not being there to protect Gorsepaw. Morningflower shuts his apologies down, firmly explaining in excruciating detail why he is the last cat that should be blamed for Gorsepaw's death. This is where a friendship really starts to form between the two, and Fireheart gets a much needed hug.

Bluestar reluctantly requests that Fireheart be brought to her after learning that he helped to rescue her kits, and Whitestorm comes to retrieve him, interrupting his talk with Morningflower

Bluestar grants Fireheart refuge and Thunderclan forms a joint camp with Windclan for safety reasons.

Bluestar and Tallstar decide to call their temporary alliance Lionclan

Lionclan makes plans to continue defending themselves

END OF PART 1

I really like this AU because I am a big fluff/angst person and the idea is ripe with those elements, I also really wanted a reason to retcon a lot of the Fireheart related decisions that the Erins made in later books, so this AU is now that reason. I haven't planned out how the rest of the first ARC will go down in this AU, but I do have some ideas for how this AU would carry into the Firestar's Quest timeline.

Some other random things about this AU:

Stonefur lives to become Stonestar, he is the leader of Riverclan during the great journey

Leopardstar is not allowed to remain leader after Tigerstar dies in this AU, and Blackfoot is removed from the deputy position permanently

Russetfur becomes Russetstar by popular clan vote, she is the new leader of Shadowclan

Bluestar still dies

Whitestorm becomes Thunderclan's new leader, I thought that Whitestar would make a good parallel to Blackstar

Mistyfoot is named as Stonestar's deputy

Fireheart comes very close to rejoining Thunderclan after Bluestar's death, but in the end it feels wrong to him that his banishment be broken over Bluestar's still cooling body, so he continues living as a guest of Windclan until the final battle is won and peace has returned to the forest

This is where we hit post first ARC/super addition territory:

After the first great battle, Fireheart feels as though he has finally fulfilled the prophecy by aiding Windclan and sees no reason to return to Thunderclan despite the way that his heart aches with the absence of Graystripe, Sandstorm, and Cinderheart.

Fireheart is selected by Tallstar to attend the first gathering after everything has settled down in the forest, and is happy to learn that while Stormpaw has rejoined Riverclan with Mistyfoot and Stonestar, Featherpaw has decided to remain in Thunderclan with Graystripe

Mistyfoot's three remaining kits have also all survived, and are doing well as apprentices in Riverclan

Tallstar announces to everyone that Fireheart has officially pledged himself to the black and white leader as a warrior of Windclan, this makes those of his Thunderclan friends who are present horribly sad, but there is also an undercurrent of melancholy understanding between them that prevents any ill feelings from taking root

Later that night in the warriors's burrow, Fireheart is restless as he dreams of Bluestar, tossing and turning in his nest beside Morningflower and Onewhisker as Bluestar tells the still-young warrior that Starclan isn't done with him yet and that he still has a destiny to fullfil

Ultimately Fireheart winds up receiving several more dreams and a few signs from Starclan IRL before finally taking the hint and seeking out the descendants of Skyclan. In this AU, he leaves Windclan solo but Sandstorm decides to sneak away from Thunderclan and follow him, she has been receiving some signs of her own and is frankly sick of her idiot friend trying to recover from all of his trauma with only his Windclan friends for support. The two bond after she saves his ass, and begin to develop a crush on each other (this is Fireheart's first real adult crush, his crush on Spottedleaf was a puppy crush and was never that serious).

Skyclan is eventually reformed, and Fireheart is chosen by Starclan to be it's new leader so that he can bring everyone back to the forest and train Leafdapple to one day succeed him.

They make it home and Fireheart visits the moonstone to become Firestar and receive his nine lives.

Fireheart and Sandstorm eventually become mates and Sandstorm officially joins Skyclan, they have three kits together, two she-kits and a tom.

The kits are named Leafkit, Squirrelkit, and Gorsekit.

The End (or is it?.....)

Author's Note: OC alert, he is a very minor character and barely shows up, but I thought that Fireheart and Sandstorm having an extra kit and naming it after Gorsepaw was the cutest thing in the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, Gorsetail has entered the chat (he looks like Sandstorm, but a bit darker and fluffier).

His main roll in the second ARC is to be the sibling that stayed home, because in this AU Leafpaw pulls a Stormfur and goes on the Journey with Squirrelpaw.

Gorsepaw the 2nd exists to be obsessively mother-henned by Firestar and Sandstorm, who refuse to let him starve and are constantly giving their own food to him as prey becomes scarcer and scarcer in the old forest.

Banishment Spell🔮

A spell to banish a person and keep their ill intentions and negative energy away from you.

What you will need:

- a dark, peaceful environment

- a black candle

- pen/pencil

- small bit of paper

- fire safe tongs/utensils*

- fireproof surface to work on

- your energy and focus

- a shallow dish of water

- salt or sand (I use sea salt)

Method:

Begin with a clean and fireproof surface to work on. Furthest away from you, place the black candle. Closer to you, place a shallow dish of water. You must have enough room to safely work and not disturb the salt circle during the spell.

- This spell works best when done in a dark room or at nighttime. Allow the sole candle to be your light source.

- Cast a circle, or begin the spell how you see fit.

- Harness your energy and begin the spell by lighting the black candle.

- Engage with its protective glow and energy. Allow its warmth to flow through you.

- Gather your salt or sand. As you make a salt/sand circle around the outside of your shallow water dish, envision its protective properties.

- Write down the name of the person you wish to banish on a small bit of paper.

- Roll up the paper and envision the person’s negative, stale energy and grip on you being enfolded and trapped within.

- With your fire safe utensil hold the paper over the flame. As it burns down to nearly ashes, say chant, or repeat in your mind:

“You’ve crossed a line with me

Now I banish thee”

- Bring the paper over your water dish. Release it. As the ashes and remnants of paper dissolve into the water, say, chant, or repeat in your mind:

“You’ve lost your grip on me

Now I banish thee!”

- Allow the candle to burn down fully. Or, you may take the candle and place it into the shallow dish of water; allow it to burn down fully in there.

- Close the circle you cast.

- Once completely cooled, you may leave the mixture overnight for a more aggressive banishment — ensure the salt/sand circle remains undisturbed.

- Otherwise, remove the burnt down candle/wax once completely cooled and dispose of it safely. Do not bury it.

Note: If you wish to use this spell on more than one person, you must repeat the entire process.

*Please do not attempt this spell if you are uncomfortable working with fire, are not well versed in fire safety, currently live in a dorm/campus housing, etc. Be safe, be smart, and remember there are always flameless candles and alternate methods of banishment.

Another cord cutting, the red is who I’m banishing and the white is me. What do you see in this ritual?
