Things You'll Need:
- Representation of the person to be bound
- 1 white candle
- Gray ribbon
- Salt
- Freezer-safe container of water
-
Step 1
Obtain or create a representation of the person you are binding. A photograph is a good choice, but make sure no one else is in the picture. You can also draw a picture or write his name on a piece of cardboard. If you have something personal from him such as hair, nail clippings or paper he has written on, glue it to the cardboard.
-
Step 2
Start your spell with whatever ritual you normally perform, such as casting a circle or calling the four elemental energies. If you prefer, pray that the outcome be the best for all and that no one be harmed, or simply meditate for to clear your mind.
-
Step 3
Light the white candle and offer some affirmation of peace, such as "may the light of love surround (person's name) and help him find the way." Focus on the reason you are casting the binding spell.
-
Step 4
Wrap the gray ribbon around his representation nine times, chanting to maintain focus and raise energy. Use a phrase such as "In the spirit of peace and safety, I bind you, (person's name), for the good of all, from harming yourself or anyone else." When you're done, tie a knot.
-
Step 5
Visualize the person surrounded by peace, represented by a color, angels or white light. Drip wax onto the knot to seal it. Say an affirmation, such as "(person's name), you are bound by magic and will do no harm."
-
Step 6
Sprinkle salt three times into the water and place the bound representation into the container, saying, "May you be cleansed of negativity and kept safe from all harm."
-
Step 7
Seal the container and end your ritual as you normally would, or with a prayer. Place the container in the freezer immediately. Leave it there until you wish to unbind the person, at which time you can thaw it, undo the ribbon and release the person.
