A Banishing Spell

This spell can be used to banish afflictions of all sorts and to renew one’s strength following an affliction.

You will need:
- Three cups of fresh rainwater
- A large bowl
- Two small bowls
- A silver knife
- A lock of lamb’s wool
- Pure, virgin olive oil
- Red wine vinegar
- A 7” x 7” square of white, cotton cloth
- Seven blades of green grass
- A candle (any color, but white or natural beeswax is best)

Pour the rainwater into the large bowl.  Light the candle.  Take the silver knife and write with its point on the water's surface, the name of that which afflicts you.

Pour some olive oil in one of the small bowls and soak the lamb’s wool in the oil.

Next, pour some red wine vinegar in the other bowl and soak the lamb’s wool in the vinegar.

Remove the wool from the vinegar and drop it into the water.  The contents of the other bowls, containing the olive oil and vinegar, should be emptied out onto the ground. 

Extinguish the candle.

Leave the lamb's wool to soak in the water overnight.  At sunrise, remove the lock of wool from the water, wring it out, and set it to dry on the white cotton cloth.  When the lamb's wool is fully dry, it should be sewn up in the white, cotton cloth along with the seven blades of grass.  Keep the pouch under your pillow while you sleep.
