Binding Magick


BINDING THE ENEMY

MATERIALS:

black altar cloth
black candles
dark or black candle holders
water
sea salt
cauldron or bowl
black human shaped candle
thorn or bolline
red cord several feet long
13 red-headed pins
large jar with a lid that's big enough to hold human shaped candle
"debris" - rusted wire, bent nails, staples, thorns, nettles, or the like
urine
an athame or sickle

NOTE ON MATERIALS:
HUMAN SHAPED CANDLE: a "poppet" or other black figure may be substituted for the black candle. It's just that the candles are already in a handy human shape and wax is easy to carve, cut, and stab.

BOLLINE: for those of you who don't know already, it's a knife dedicated to making ritual objects or harvesting ritual plants or the like. Basically, a magickal utility knife. If you don't have one don't sweat it, though. Substitute a sharp, sturdy knife like a paring knife or heavy x-acto blade.

RED CORD: Preferably cotton or wool thread, somewhere between kite string and packaging cord in weight. Should be at least two or three feet long, but not so long you get it all tangled and snarled when you start knotting it.

RED PINS: I like quilting pins, if you can get them with red heads. They're big and impressive looking and don't bend quite so easily as regular straight pins.

"DEBRIS": when dealing with rusted wire and the like, use some sense and be careful.
"Harm none" applies to YOURSELF, too.

URINE: Yeah, it's icky, but it's also a great way to show contempt.

Purify the area and yourself. Drape the altar with a black cloth and set up the black candles
and candle holders. Bless the water and sea salt and mix in a cauldron or bowl.
Wash the black, human shaped candle in this salt water.
On the candle's back write the name of the Oppressor backwards,
three times, with a thorn or bolline, saying:

This is [name]
And this is the evil within him/her
This is [name]
And this is the shame within him/her
This is [name]
And this is the binding of him/her

Place the human candle on the altar and take up the red cord.
Dip it into the salt water, wring it out if necessary, and while you tie nine,
evenly spaced knots in the cord think of your anger at the injustice done to you. Take the cord and bind it around the human candle, starting at the neck and ending at the feet. As you do this, say:

I bind you, I bind you, I bind you
You can never harm me again

Repeat until the binding is done. Place the red-headed pins in the salt water,
then pierce the figure in the appropriate places as you say the following:

At temples, 2 pins, 1 in each =>
You will not think of me, you will not think of me.

At forehead, "3rd eye" position, 1 pin =>
You will not dream of me.

At eyes, 2 pins, 1 each =>
You will not look at me, you will not see me.

At mouth, 1 pin =>
You will not speak of me.

At hands, 4 pins, 2 each =>
You will not restrain me, you will not touch me,
you will not reach for me, you will release me.

At groin, 1 pin =>
You will not lust after me.

At feet 2 pins, 1 each =>
You will not approach me, you will walk away from me.

Place the bound candle in the jar. Arrange various debris around it -
rusted wire, bent nails, staples, thorns, nettles until the candle is in a "cage".
Fill the jar with urine and screw on the lid. If you're female or you're a guy with poor aim it is perfectly OK to pee into a container big enough to prevent "accidents" and a mess first, then poor the urine into the jar with the bound image. Depending on how much space you left in the jar this may take a lot of urine so you can either stockpile it in a separate container in preparation for this, or you can fill up the remaining space with that salt water you were using earlier. In any case, the bound figure should be completely covered. Seal the lid with wax from the burning black candles and inscribe with any runes or symbols you find appropriate. As you do this, say again:

I bind you, I bind you, I bind you
You can never harm me again

Place the jar on the altar and make sweeping motions around it
with an athame or sickle saying:

I cut all bonds between myself and this evil
It is gone from me!
I cut all ties between myself and this evil
I am set free!
I cut all links between myself and this evil
It is gone, and will never return to me!

Take the jar to a remote place and bury it upside down in the ground where none will find it.
When this is done sprinkle some salt above the site,
then walk away and do not look back.


A BINDING SPELL

You can use a white candle and thread and charge your candle with protection (using protection oil),
Or you can use a black candle and black thread, charging the candle with binding negative forces
(using all purpose oil)..

THE SPELL

Take your candle, anoint and charge it. Light the candle and incense, we used Frankincense and Myrrh..
Write on the twig all the negative things you wish to bind in your life.. Take your thread and wind it around the twig while chanting:

"Wound and bound, Wound and bound,
So the words of will resound,
Holding, binding, clasping firm,
This evil shall not return!"

When the twig is full, or you feel the power at it's peak say:

"SO MOTE IT BE!!"

When you are finished, place the twig into a wooden box, or bury it in the earth, or burn it..
Since it has no person's name, you will not need to undo the spell...


HONEY BINDING TO BRING KINDNESS

Ingredients:
Small, clean, jar such as a baby food jar
Honey - enough to fill the small jar
Paper - a small strip that will fit in the jar
Pen - to write the person(s) name on small strip of paper
Candle - to drip on jar lid for sealing

All products connected with bees have magical powers (bees-wax, honey, pollen,
royal jelly, propolis). It is believed that any bee product can hold and deliver
a magical message or prayer.

Best to do this on a full moon but can be done during the waxing. Write the name
of the person or just men/women, people in general on the strip of paper.
Place the paper inside the small jar. Now fill the jar with the honey.
While you do this concentrate on your intent. Visualize the person or persons
being kind to you the way you would like them to be. Now close the jar with
the lid and seal it with wax. Place the jar on your altar or somewhere where it
will be untouched. Every month re-charge the jar by placing it in the sun for a day.
You'll want to bury the jar and refresh the spell with a new jar about every 6 months or so.
