Spellwork Sessions: Banishing with Bay Leaves

April 17, 2019 0 Comments

 Spellwork Sundays

 

Hey there! For this Spellwork Sunday I wanted to talk about the magick behind Bay Leaves, also known as Laurel Leaves. Bay leaves have numerous uses, and they are a most powerful tool in aiding communication to your deities, cleansing a space, breaking curses and banishing negativity. Today I want to focus on the aspect of banishing negativity, which is something we can all do at home.

Time / Planetary Hours:

• Just before, or on the New Moon.
• Any day or time will work which is why this can be done on a Sunday, but if you can, try to do this on a Saturday as this day is associated with the planet/ god Saturn, and is often related to channeling banishment, changes, motivation, and reincarnation. Saturday is actually named after the planet!

Altar Decor Setup & Suggestions

You can create a simple altar for this, or go out and make it as lavish as you want. Whatever holds importance for your spell is up to you!

• Dried bay leaves. You can get these from any grocery store in the spice section.
• A black or white candle 
• A burn safe plate or bowl, try and abalone shell or copper bowl.
• A pen, or a marker of your choice

Simple Steps and Procedures:

• Light the candle using a match, and place on your right side.
• On the bay leaves, write out things you want to banish. Be very specific, as to not confuse your wish with general sweeping statements. For example: “negative thought patterns about X” “obsessive tendencies with X” instead of "negativity" or "bad vibes"
• Take the leaf and light with the flame from the candle, saying out loud what you have written. For example: “I hereby release all negative thought patterns I have about X”, or “I banish all obsessive tendencies I have over X"
• Drop the leaves onto the burn safe bowl or plate, and visualize the attachments being broken.
• After you are done banishing these energies, restore a chill or peaceful vibe back to your space by singing, putting on some music you can dance to, or burning lavender!

   Celebrate! You are now free from these energies!!!
