A Spell to Banish Negative Energies




Sometimes, we all need to get rid of negative energy. The world acts on us at times, whether we want it to or not. People can send negative vibes, even without meaning to, and some do so for various reasons. Other times we can’t help but deal with negative people, whether at work or at home, and every now and then, we even do it to ourselves by letting negative thoughts creep in.

Of course, regular smudging helps, but sometimes you just need that extra energy that a spell can give you. At this point, consider whether you want to eliminate a negative situation, or if you think someone intentionally, or unintentionally, want to hurt you.

You will need:

Sage, either oil or loose herb

Set up your circle and your altar. I’ve listed some stone, herb, oil, and candles that correspond to your task that you can use for decorating. Your altars to the elements, should you use them for this, should always be decorated to please the element to whom it is dedicated.

Set up your candles and bowl or cauldron on your primary altar. Anoint the candles with the oil, and/or put the sage in the cauldron. I’ve found that either of these will work if you only want to use one.  In the event you believe someone is purposefully sending you negative energy, carve the name of the person into the black candle.

In addition to the spell candles, I’ve included candles to represent the God and Goddess in this one, and an invocation to the gods. Naturally, you will adapt this to your own beliefs, so take what you need, and leave the rest.



Cast your circle and call the elements. Finally, face the candles you have set up for the deities.

Lord and Lady draw near to me
I ask your strength to set me free
Banish evil far from here
Alleviate all cause for fear

Light the candles for the Lord and Lady
Light your white candle while saying

Cleanse this space, and wash it clear
Take all malaise far from here
Protect us here in this place
Add your strength to this sacred space

If you are banishing a negative situation, you will light the black candle next, and the orange candle last. If you are banishing negativity from a person, you will light the orange candle next, and the black candle last. The verses are the same in either order. The last one draws on all the energy that you’ve created, so it has the greatest power.

When you light the orange candle say,

Clear the air, blow strong and free
Take this trial away from me
Ease this strain and send relief
Aid this work in strong belief

When you light the black candle say,

Drive all evil before your flame
Reverse this evil and perfect your aim
Send it back from whence it came
Repelled and bound I now proclaim

Clean and clear, wild and free
As my will, so mote it be

Oils & Herbs: Sage, Verbena
