- Matches/lighter

- If you know who has cursed you or wished you harm, you will need a printed photograph of them on plain copy paper (not glossy photo paper).
- If you do not know who has wished you harm, use a blank sheet of paper.
This is a 3-night ritual: The final night of this ritual must correspond with the Dark Moon.
Step 1 - First Night: Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Allow your mind and body to relax. Affirm to yourself that you are now banishing and permanently removing the negativity that has been placed on you.
If you know the name of the person who is working against you, write the person's name on the back of their photograph along with:
If you do not know the person's name, on a blank piece of paper, write:
"All those that work against me, your own negativity now returns to you. The pain you caused is now yours and yours alone."
Step 2: Place the photograph or piece of paper on a fireproof surface. Roll a single Ritual Candle across their photograph, allowing the beeswax to pick up the energy of the offender. Dust the candle with 1/4 teaspoon each of Slippery Elm Powder, Wormwood Powder, and Agrimony Powder, allowing the excess to remain on the photograph.
Step 3: With great power and authority, exclaim your written statement. While holding the Ritual Candle, light it and angle the candle at a 45-degree angle over the photo. Drip a small pool of wax in the center of the paper/photograph (3-4 drops of wax will do). Firmly stick the candle directly into the pool of wax and hold it for about 5 seconds until the center hardens just a bit and the candle is standing upright without any assistance.
Step 4: Allow the candle to burn all the way down. If the flame catches the photo/paper on fire, allow the flame to consume it. It is a good sign. If the flame extinguishes itself before destroying the photo/paper, relight the photo and burn it to ash.
Step 5 - Second Night: Repeat the above steps, including creating a new photograph or piece of paper.
Step 6 - Third Night (Dark Moon): Repeat the above steps, including creating a new photograph or piece of paper.
Step 7: From the flame of the candle, light the Cedar Smudge Bundle. Holding the fireproof bowl with one hand and the Cedar Smudge Bundle in the other, smudge your body and living area. Collect the ashes in the small bowl (you will need them later). Walk counterclockwise around your private space, allowing the rich Cedar smoke to gently envelop each corner of your home. Pay special attention to mirrors, windows, doors, and all reflective surfaces. Carefully move the smoking Cedar slowly over your body (do not let it touch your body or your clothes), letting the soft smoke envelop you. Make sure to smudge the bottoms of your feet and the space about 5-10 inches above your head.
Step 8: Gather all the remnants (ashes from 3 nightly photos, leftover wax, and Cedar Smudge ashes) inside a small paper bag. Head out to your nearby cemetery. Empty the remnants bag inside the cemetery gates. The contents should be loosely dispersed and unnoticeable to the naked eye. Thank the residing spirits and leave a couple of coins, pieces of candy, or a small offering of wine (or brandy) at the cemetery gates. This pleases the gatekeeping spirits and makes sure nothing follows your home. Do not bring the (now empty) remnant paper bag back home. Instead, dispose of it through ordinary means on your way home.
Immediately Upon Returning Home:
Open all the windows in your home and allow any remaining Cedar Smudge smoke to escape. Next, draw a hot bath with 1/2 cup of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of Agrimony Powder. Bathe in this mixture for at least 5 minutes, making sure to cover your entire body, including dunking your head underwater.
Old World Moon Phases
The Moon is of key importance for the Old World Witch. The Moon and its cycle (increase and decrease) impact the potency of rituals and their successes. The Moon amplifies rituals and works in harmony with the energies exerted by the Witch.
As Old World Witches, we utilize elemental forces for magick and mystical significance of the natural world and its fauna and flora: Esoteric knowledge. Lore of healing. Energetic resonance of herbs and roots. And, of course, the Moon.
The Old World Witch does not follow the exact terminology and specifications of modern astrologers and astronomers. We maintain the visual interpretation and energies of the Moon, as explained below.

Dark Moon
When the Moon cannot be seen and is in the dark phase, it is referred to as the Dark Moon in Old World Witchcraft. Modern astronomers and astrologers call this darkness the New Moon because the cycle of the Moon is about to restart.
Old World Witches are not the only ones who follow this Dark Moon terminology. Several ancient cultures (such as Islam) define this period as the end of the month and the very first crescent of the Moon (Witch's New Moon) as the beginning of the month.
The Witch's Dark Moon is a night of stillness, contemplation, and banishment. The only types of rituals that should be done on the Dark Moon are banishment work or curses/hexes. The Dark Moon is also ideal for all kinds of divination and working with the departed.
The Moon is energetically at its lowest point and is more conducive to the mentioned rituals.
Witch's New Moon (first crescent)
The New Moon of the Old World Witch is called the Witch's New Moon. It is when the very first crescent or sliver of the Moon is visible. This is typically 2-3 nights after the Dark Moon.
With some variations, the Witch's New Moon rises in the daytime before noon and becomes visible in the day sky. It will be most visible at sunset and usually sets well before midnight. The Witch's New Moon is the same percentage all over the world - both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. However, the tips of the Witch's New Moon point depend on the time, date, and location on Earth.
The Witch's New Moon is the ideal time to begin rituals that draw a life experience, physical possession, or situation to you. This can be for love, money, health, or personal development.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. Starting rituals three nights after the Dark Moon will give you exactly 12 days of rituals leading up to the Full Moon.
The Witch's New Moon is also the ideal time to begin a new venture, get married, apply for a job, or embark on a journey.
The same energetic attributes apply throughout the Waxing Moon, all the way up to the Full Moon.
The Full Moon is not only the most magickally potent and powerful time of the month, but it is also the most physically stimulating. As the Moon affects the ocean tides, so too does it affect our bodies. If you pay close attention to your body, you may have noticed that you may feel extra swollen or puffy on the mornings leading up to the full Moon and a couple of days thereafter. These are the days of maxi dresses, undereye concealer, and perhaps an inclination to wear fewer rings on your fingers.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. If you have been performing rituals leading up to the Full Moon, consider the night of the Full Moon the climax of your ritual.
The Full Moon signifies the cultivation of goals, the peak of a cycle, and emotional fulfillment. The Full Moon is best used to draw something into your life, such as love, financial prosperity, or self-development.
If, however, you are choosing not to perform any magick on the night of the Full Moon, simply sitting under the moon rays and energetically absorbing the magnetism will reawaken and revitalize your spirit.
Whether you're having a difficult time leaving an unsuitable relationship or are trying to eliminate negative self-talk, the Waning Moon is perfectly capable and willing to help phase out what is no longer needed or wanted.
In addition to removing negative influences from your life, this is also an appropriate time to cast revenge spells (curses).
The Waning Moon reminds us of things yet to be done and that time is slipping away. Anxiety is usually heightened during this time; therefore, self-care is critical.
