**Folk Spell for Driving Out Dark Attachments**
**Purpose:**
This ritual is designed to help drive out negative energies, dark attachments, and lingering malevolence from one’s self or space. It is a mystical folk remedy steeped in the traditions of ancient sympathetic magic, used for spiritual cleansing and protection.
**Ingredients:**
– Sage (Salvia officinalis) – for purification and protection
– Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) – for calming and peace
– Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) – for strength and courage
– Sea Salt – to absorb negative energies
– White Candle – symbolizing light, protection, and purity
– Bowl of Water – used in the banishing ritual
– Lemon Peel – to represent renewal and freshness
**Preparation:**
Gather your ingredients and tools. Cleanse your space by sweeping or smudging with sage smoke. Set your intention for this ritual, focusing on driving out any dark attachments and inviting in peace, light, and protection.
**Procedure:**
1. Create a sacred circle: Light the white candle at the center of your space, representing the light that banishes darkness. Arrange your herbs around the candle – sage, lavender, and rosemary.
2. Bless the herbs: Hold each herb in turn, close your eyes, and say a personal blessing to infuse them with your intention. For example: “May the sage purify my space, the lavender bring me peace, and the rosemary grant me courage.”
3. Prepare the water: Fill a bowl with water from a natural source if possible. Add three drops of lemon essential oil (if not available, use fresh lemon peel). This water will be used to cast out the negative energies.
4. Perform the Banishing Ritual: Holding your palm over the bowl of water, visualize and speak aloud any dark attachments being drawn from you or your space into the water. You can repeat a simple banishing chant like: “I banish all darkness, I drive out all fear, let peace and light be near.”
5. Dispose of the water: After completing the ritual, take the bowl outside and pour its contents onto the earth, releasing the negative energies into nature to be transmuted and transformed.
6. Close the circle: Thank the spirits and entities for their guidance, extinguish the candle, and allow the smoke from the herbs to purify your space as you visualize it being cleansed and protected.
