The Good Witch’s Guide to Binding a Bully

Is a bully giving you trouble? Take back your power and neutralize a bully’s ability to cause harm with one of these simple binding spells.


According to author Judika Illes, binding magic is generally performed for the purpose of “binding someone’s power, usually to prevent them from causing harm.” (Remember the chanted line in The Craft: “I bind you, Nancy, from doing harm: harm against other people and harm against yourself.”)

Merriam-Webster’s primary definition of bully is: a blustering, browbeating person; especially  :  one who is habitually cruel, insulting, or threatening to others who are weaker, smaller, or in some way vulnerable.

While we good witches generally do not prefer to bind other people’s power and therefore do not seek out situations that call for binding spells, there are times when it is obviously appropriate to perform one: e.g., bully situations. Situations where someone is “habitually cruel, insulting, or threatening to others who are weaker, smaller, or in some way vulnerable.”

If you are concerned about the threefold law (that which you send out energetically comes back to you multiplied), you needn’t be, provided you keep some things in mind. First, you must actually be binding a bully: if you’re binding someone who doesn’t deserve to be bound, you may indeed bring negative karma upon yourself. On the other hand, if someone is indeed being a bully, you have the opportunity to perform your binding as an act of sending out pure positivity. In other words, you’ll be sending out the bright, positive light of justice and protection on behalf of all those who are being threatened and unfairly treated.

As long as justice and protection are your honest intentions, you will be safe from undesirable karmic backlash.

An excellent time to perform a binding spell is when the waning moon is in the fourth quarter. In other words, the last week of a moon cycle, or the week before the new moon.

No matter who the bully is, remember that they are only a human, and humans can be magically bound.

Here are 3 different ways to bind a bully. Choose the one that feels intuitively right to you. Please be sure to cast a circle before doing any of these, and to open it when you are through.

Bully Binding Spell #1

For this binding spell, write the bully’s name on a slip of paper and place it on a table. Light a black candle. In a clockwise direction, surround the name with a circle of sea salt. With a short length of black embroidery floss, tie a knot tightly around the slip of paper, allowing it to crumple. As you tie the knot, say, “I bind you [name of bully]. You are powerless to harm other people or the planet. Your insults are powerless. Your hostility is powerless. You shall cause no harm from this day forth.” Repeat 7 more times, with 7 more lengths of black thread. Extinguish the candle. Leave the paper and string in the ring of salt overnight. In the morning, flush the salt down the toilet and throw the bound name on a fire.

Bully Binding Spell #2

You’ll be working closely with the archetype of justice for this binding spell.

Place the Justice card from a Tarot deck on your altar. Light a white pillar candle as you say, “[Name of bully], on behalf of all those you would harm, insult, or overpower, I call on the archetypal energy of Justice. With this ancient, swift, and thorough power, I now bind all your power to harm.” Safely use the light of the candle to burn the bully’s full name and/or image on a piece of paper, perhaps in a cauldron or pot. As it burns, say, “Just as this paper is now reduced to ashes, your power to harm is now fully revoked and reduced to nothing.” When the ashes are cool, mix them with sea salt and flush them down the toilet. Extinguish the candle after you’ve opened the circle.

Bully Binding Spell #3

Freeze out a bully and put his or her power on ice with this binding spell. Obtain a picture of the bully, or just write the bully’s name on a piece of paper. Place it in a small mason jar. Pour water over it as you say, “[Name of bully], if your power to harm is like fire, I now extinguish that power completely. It burns no more.” Seal the jar with the lid. Wrap and tie it tightly with black ribbon as you say, “[Name of bully], if your power to harm is like wings, I now bind and immobilize that power completely. It flies no more.” Rotate the jar in a counterclockwise direction three times as you say, “[Name of bully], your power is now unwound. It has no momentum. It has no force. It now returns to the native nothingness from which it came.” Now place the jar in your freezer.

Remember: no one has any power over you. You have all the power over your own life. Do all your magical work from this strong inner knowing, and you will certainly prevail.

  1. Do you suppose a mother would willfully offer up the happiness and marriages of her children in exchange for a successful marriage of her own? I find it troubling that 3/5 children’s (5 year, 7 year, 20 year) marriages ended or are ending in a span of 6 months just as the mother celebrated and made a huge to-do on her 10th wedding anniversary. (Her 4th and longest lasting marriage. )She dabbles so I was thinking this might be something. I’m afraid to try and bind her.

  2. My little sister has been getting bullied by her ‘friend’ for several years now. It’s usually just verbal, but she has also given my sister black eyes and just recently injured her wrist. I’m worried that my sister will receive further injury from this ‘friend’ as well as damage to her confidence and self-worth. My sister and the bully are only in middle school, would this spell still be a good idea?

          • When doing a spell like this but this cause Bad Karma on the person doing it?

          • Not if you do it with neutrality. In other words, it’s best to do it with the intention to protect yourself and your freedom to feel comfortable in the world, rather than to negatively affect or punish someone else.

          • What happens to the jar when removed from the freezer please?. Would it be thrown in the bin?

          • If you no longer feel like the person is threatening to bully you, you can thaw it, pour the water down the drain, put the remaining contents in the trash, and recycle the jar.

      • I am somewhat new to this. But meet classic signs of what I’m meant to be. I would like to bind my x-mother in law from harassing my two autistic children every weekend. She also harassed me via call,text. I blocked her and her husband from my phone. I’ve been told by the children that she talks I’ll wills about me to my five year old, its upsetting and a form of mental manipulation. I was also told that they left unattended and get slapped if they are bad. There is much more, want to bind to help my children. They cry profusely when I tell them its daddy’s weekend.

          • I am in need of some advice please. There are a number of individuals that have been known to the neighbourhood as bullies, to young children and now have attempted to hurt cats and we had heard yesterday that one of the children had seen them hurt a cat by kicking a ball at it and saying they think it’s fun to kill living things. I have concerns for my children and mine and other neighbors pets and children. Is a binding spell appropriate? As they are just children themselves?? Police have been made aware but they are unsure where these children live and for this reason nothing has been done about the situation.

          • Katie, have you talked to these kids yourself? And/or might you perhaps work with your neighbors to find out who their parents are so you can talk to them before you decide if you want to bind the kids? In the meantime, you can certainly do protective magical work for the animals and kids in your neighborhood.

          • I’m a retired social service worker! Make the call!!! She should have no more unsupervised visits with these children.

    • so my best friend at school is being bullied by two girls and those two girls sit right next to me whispering about how dumb she is and how annoying her voice is saying stuff like “oh my god does she ever shut up?” or “you know I think her face would look better with a black eye” one day when none of the other girls where there they almost did give her a black eye. this has gone on long enough I am very mad. would a binding spell be good in this case?

  3. Hello read..my son is having trouble with one of his coaches in football, he says this man takes him out of games or practices when he makes good plays. An then tells him he’s doing good enough..my son is very confuse this is a new coach and even the players notice the coach picking on him. He’s scared to go to the head coach cause he don’t want to get kicked off the team.an he don’t want me to go to the school..would this be a good spell..if not, which spell is good for this situation.

    Reply

    • Hi Sai! Oh how frustrating. I’m so sorry to hear this. Have you tried consulting with the other parents? Maybe more than just one of you have this complaint and you can go to the school together? Or speaking directly to the coach to find out what’s going on might also be a good place to start. Since your son wants to continue to have a relationship with this person, you might not want to bind him quite yet. You could certainly light a candle for harmony and the best possible outcome, however.

      Reply

    • Wow I’m here for the same reason, college coach extremely abusive… same son doesn’t want to go to head coach and doesn’t want me to intervene.

      Such a hard place as a parent when your kid has worked all his life for this and to make it to this level and experience this kind of bullying from an adult. I have 4 sons and love them all dearly but they are all very different people but this kid has never given me a day of grief in his life…. all who who him know he is a good person was even honored in his senior year statewide television for his character as an honor student athlete. Feeling helpless.

      Reply

      • So hard.to watch. And to recognize that our children are adults and have to deal with their circumstances themselves. Changing levels in sports, one can find the new level a whole lot tougher including behavior not dreamed of before on the part of those involved. Magic? How about magic to strengthen your son….to help him deal with these challenges. Magic that helps him love himself (aka reinforce appropriate self-respect). Assuming, of course, that your personal ethics & training allows for doing magic for another.

  4. Hi,

    My daughter is in kindergarten and having trouble with a couple of her friends who often exclude her, run away from her, ignore her or are just plain mean to her. I have spoken to the teacher, the teacher has spoken to the students and parents but it keeps happening. I think she may feel slightly threatened by my daughter. I have tried to persuade her to find another group of friends but she wants to stay friends with them. Seeing as she still wants to remain friends would this work? Or are they to little anyway? (6 years old). At my wits end as to what I can do. My daughter is very sweet and wants to be friends with everyone. It just breaks my heart.

    Reply

    • Hi there! I’m sorry to hear this – I can see how this would break your heart. Rather than a binding, I recommend sending your daughter to school with a kunzite pendant. First, hold it in sunlight and set the intention for it to protect her energy and emotions.

  5. My former mother-in-law is a very controlling person who bullies almost everyone to get her way.
    Recently my ex-wife and I have began improving our relationship – largely for the kids, although it seems we are on the path to becoming friends.

    My former M-I-L is obviously very much against this. She has been outwardly rude to me several times in front of my children and given them instructions regarding how to interact with me as if they were from my ex-wife. I feel she is attempting to sabotage any efforts I put into improving the terms I’m on with my ex.
    Would you advise a binding spell in this case or some other course of action?
    I just want her to stop interfering with my relationship with my ex and my children and not say negative things about me to or infromt of my kids.

    Thank you.

    • My ex mother in law is about the same. My ex and I are working it out and she is bulling both of us, throwing tempertantrumes, verbally abusive, lieing, hostile. We’ve tried talking to her but she won’t see logic and reason. Her bulling gets worse. She’s done this with everyone he’s been with. It’s to the point the neighbors are afraid of her and worried about us. Is binding ok in this situation?

      Reply

      • I’d say binding may be appropriate, as long as you’ve set strong boundaries in the physical world (such as not allowing her in your home and life, etc.) and she isn’t honoring them.

  6. Please don’t apologize for my situation. I see myself as a survivor but I’m growing weary and drained. I’ve been married to a severe psychological abuser for 18 years. When he’s good he’s very good and when he’s bad he can be a horror movie. What spell do u suggest. This abuse must stop because it’s killing the light and energy inside me.

  7. Hi, Does this spellbinding work if I use it to someone who has a power. She has been using her power to destroy our family by making us fight each other (like she would hide our belongings to my sister’s room to make us blame one another) and she has been using her power to get our money. Moneys on our bags, pouches and even in our atm are magically gone. She has been bothering our family for 4 years already (I think). We already seek help from someone to remove her powers and she became quiet for a while and now she is at it again.

  8. Hi! My husband’s ex is extremely abusive. Psychologically and emotionally. I think she may be borderline. Anyway, there’s a huge battle about to ensue in court. First over a false child support arrears case and then over parental rights. She has done anything and everything to make our lives impossible. She’s also Wiccan and I don’t have much experience with all of this but I notice that every time the kids come over… there’s a very dark energy where everyone immediately is in a bad mood. Once they leave, even my relationship is no longer tense.

    I’m just tired of her having power over our days, holidays, moods, so on and so forth.

    I feel like we all need to be heavily protected from her… including her own children.

    And I’m just hoping that all of these court things go well and Justice is served.

  11. Very informative. What would one do if the name of the bully (s) are not known. It was a mob of children cornering my daughter at a local skating rink she often visits, which made her cry and feel very scared. She tried to nicely stand up to them but she is a HSP and empathic. Feelings are still being mastered.

  12. Hello Tess,
    My 11 year old started secondary school in September and has just told me that a Year 9 boy, the brother of a boy that she ‘went out’ with for a few months at Primary School, has been following her around school and bullying her. He shouts at her that she is fat and a lesbian and gets a group of his friends to do the same every time they see her, which is several times a day and every night after school. I only found out about this yesterday so i’m debating which step to take first between speaking to the boys mum or going straight to the Headteacher of the school. I would like a spell so that the negativity and bullying is deflected away from my daughter and she feels safe again but i wish no harm on the boy.
    Which spell would be the best to use in conjunction with whichever official line i take with school or parent?
    Thanks

  13. Hi Tess,

    I love watching your videos and tips because they’re so upbeat and NOT fear mongering :D.

    I’m a little worried. I’m someone with major anxiety and I just did a very primitive release ritual – meditating to ground, then saging all around me with cleansing music, writing painful memories and relationships, behaviors and feelings down and burning the paper. I used the words “i release you. and (I bind you — intending to bind a presumed gossiper from gossiping”) I quickly followed up with – in love and for the highest good, cleared the energy of the space as well as myself, disposed of the ashes, and went out into nature. Considering this was January 28th, during a totally hectic time with the Full Moon / Eclipse, will I be okay? And is there anything I can do to sort of reign it in and put out to the universe that I just meant to protect myself and did this in good faith?

    Thank you so much!

  14. Will binding work on a daughter-in-law that controls when you see your grandchild and won’t let your son freely talk to you? I love this lady dearly but she is so jealous when my grandchild and I have fun laughing. Then she will twists things and say “it would be nice if you just spent time with your grandchild/son.” I feel manipulated and bullied.

  15. I believe my mother in law and sister in law have done things to me to cause me to have multiple miscarriages (they have told people I shouldn’t have more children) they are known to cast spells/curses on others (European background). Will this help stop them from doing things to my husband and I? Everytime they come into our home we end up in terrible arguments. My husband thinks I’m imagining it.

  16. I am involved in an educational group where the leader of the group has taken a strong disliking to me for opposing her. She was endorsing unfairness and deceit, I spoke up against it. Since that time she has constantly shamed me in the group and spread lies about me. I don’t need to harm her, but I want to stop her from harming me. I am drawn to the method with the Justice card. Could you kindly let me know what you recommend. Thank you 🙏🏼

  19. My son has just entered the baseball team. Everyone in the team is obviously good enough but my son is willing to take all his chances and is willing to learn a lot in order to be good. Once there was a practice and all the good players were gathered in one group to play and there were 3 coaches. The not so good ones (including my son) are left and they were practiced by only 1 coach— the coach who does not agree with the other 3 coaches.. Is this fair? Actually, at first my son was in the game but the coach kicked him off to the not so good group. Next, my son borrowed a uniform because he is just new to the team and the new uniform has not yet arrived. We, my husband and I would like to make sure if they ordered the uniform already because nobody is updating us.. Nobody tells us what to do unless we ask. My husband asked the person-in-charge for the uniforms. She said she will confirm. After awhile, she said she cannot make the confirmation to the shop where the uniform is made because it is ‘closed’. Accidentally, when I went to wotk that same day, i passed at that shop only to find out it is ‘open’. Is it a lie or an alibi? The shop is within our community, how could she lie to us? I think there is something fishy going on. I can feel the unequal treatment to us since my son is half Japanese and half Filipino. I used the binding spell to stop the maltreatment because they should be fair enough because all the kids enjoy baseball and they all want to learn. We, my husband and I do not want to argue or confront because my son enjoys the company of his team players. If we raise the issue, then my son will probably quit and join another team.

I’ve been in the most horrible custody battle with my ex husband and his father for the past 3 years. They’ve had my daughter for 6 months and won’t allow me to see or talk to her.. they treat her like a possession. They are a powerfully connected family in the county we live in, and are doing this to for their own ego. I just want peace for my daughters sake. I do not want to cause them harm, eventhough I fear for my safety and my daughters. I just want peace. I hope you can help.

I am now being ignored by family and she is still friends with them…I feel she has taken my place in the family, as her family do not include her. (So she told me). I do not get extra work now, a family member was my boss), so financially she has affected me too. One of the family members has even blocked me from contacting him. What would be appropriate for my situation, a spell or a ritual etc? Thanks in advance.

  22. Hi,
    I met my fiance 3 yrs ago. His ex has given us nothing but trouble. She had total control over him. But since we have been together he has put a stop to that. Of course that made her more upset. She uses their daughter as a “weapon”. Now the daughter is not as close to us like she used to. Lately. We noticed things missing from our house. We did catch her putting things in her backpack. Now , I have been messing up at work and I have been there 4yrs with no problem. My fiance same thing and he’s been there 14 yrs. I myself will pick fights with my fiance….and he does nothing but love me. And I know in my heart he loves me. I even tell myself “why are you being ugly?” Even my children will tell me mom don’t be mean to him. I feel she has alot to do with all this.
    Thank you

  23. There are 2 women at work who don’t like me. I’ve always been nice to them but I have felt an ongoing threat by their negative energy. Today my car was vandalized in the parking lot at work. I am usually the last one to go in the building at work but this morning I went in before them. I went out to my car in the afternoon on my break to make a phone call and saw someone had smeared an adhesive along the front fender and driver’s door. It permanently damaged the finish on my new car. When I went to the time clock to time out for the day they saw me come through the warehouse door and they began to huddle and laugh quietly between each other while glancing over their shoulders at me and whispering. I pretended nothing was amiss and timed out. When I went out to my car to leave as I turned around to get in my car door one of them was glaring at me and smirking as she walked to her car. They have been playing this silly game of one being nice to me and the other being nasty to me. The one who has been mean to me recently accused me of trapping her in her car one morning because I was on the passenger side of my car with the door open for a few seconds to get something out of my car. It was a dark early morning and I didn’t know she was still in her car. The next day she sneaked up behind me and accused me. It startled me but I apologized to her and have not used my passenger door since. I also started parking a couple of spaces away from her car in an effort to put some distance between us. I have always taken the high road and been nice to both of them. Sadly, it has obviously not worked well.
    Would a protection or binding spell be appropriate and effective for something like this? Also, I don’t know their names. We work in different departments and I am new to this building. I have worked for the company for 5 years but at a different location. Our department was moved to this building a few months ago.
    Thank you in advance

    • Jamie, if you feel that your personal energy is being violated, you can do a binding to stop your son from causing you harm in this way. But if you haven’t already, begin with taking measures in the physical world, such as setting boundaries with him and telling him when he does things that hurt your feelings. Christiane Northrup has a new book called Dodging Energy Vampires. I haven’t read it yet, but it might be a good place to start before you do a spell.

  28. Hi, I was reading about binding. My ex is abusing my daughter. He put her in a meeting talking hospital to silence her so she will not speak of the abuse. He has also abused me, and my son, raped 3 women, abused 3 other ex girlfriends, choked his niece, and abused and ex girlfriends son. And he’s a narcissist too
    I know he needs a binding and he needs to go away I knkw its for justice and protection.
    My fear is that if I bind him, mine and his energy are forever connected, is that true? Or it doesn’t matter he needs to be stopped?
    Please advise…help.

  29. A man who is developmentally disabled and has a history of being arrested for child pornography and sexual contact with a child younger than 11 (I have 10 and 6 year old daughters) just moved into the house next door to me for the summer. I know these spells are geared towards bullies but there are a lot of young children on the street, and one in particular in a household where the mother is not the best protector. What do you think about binding him from doing harm from a pedophile perspective? I can literally do it in my back yard and direct the energy towards him next door. Please advise?

  30. First, I love your writing and I have used your Magical Housekeeping for two houses that I moved into, so thank you!

    My question is, in high school (so almost 20 years ago) I had two friends who were witches (I don’t know if they were actually witches or thought they were) and another friend who was a practicing Wiccan. I was told I was a natural witch with a very bright white aura but I didn’t really practice. However, the aforementioned two friends started making my life not so great. Rumors, bullying, trying to steal friends…all that good stuff that happens in high school anyway but with the caveat of them saying they were going to spell me. I’m of the belief, now at least, that spells really wrk when you believe in them, I was impressionable in high school.

    I told my friend – the Wiccan – about this and she said she could bind them for me but she would need to borrow my power. I gave her a picture and permission to borrow all of my power if she needed (again, read impressionable and naive about all of this in high school) and she said she performed the binding (ribbon, burying, incantation). I wasn’t there for it but I felt a diminishing of my own power.

    I know this sounds oddly like a cracked fairy tale but I’m wondering if that power was completely taken or if there is a way to get it back.

    I have some natural abilities but I am wondering if it’s because I believe that I’m diminished, that I am. I am pretty good with tarot and when I pay attention I’m good with inter-personal predictions and I feel that I’m good at cleansing.

    Do you have any advice or suggestions?

  31. I am working with a women who is erratic. She is cruel and harsh and blows up frequently repeating some manufactured or mistake to enormous degrees. I have tried to apologize over and over to diffuse the situation as most are a mutual misunderstanding, work styles or her reading way too much into things. I will never be her and she is trying to make me thing, talk and act the way she wants me to. She is a peer but acts like my manager. She is friends with a high positioned person so I cannot escalate the issue. She will be nice one day and then blow up an screech the next. She has threatened before to be uncooperative. What can I do without causing her harm to get her to not scream and yell at me and not to do anything to jeopardize my reputation or employment.

  32. Hi Tess,
    I did the first of the three binding spells that you described and my sister and I actually had a cordial phone conversation the next day, which was wonderful! Should I re-do the spell periodically, or is once enough?

    Reply

    • Lisa, great news! I’d say once is enough, unless at some point you feel intuitively that the spell needs refreshing. But it may very well hold.

  33. Hi Tess, I have a ex that I left who has been using voodoo magic, very strong in his family, to try to prevent me from leaving. I know he was doing it while I slept. My mother does Reiki and pranic healing and removed an entity last night. Today I went to see my energy healer, who practices Reiki, shamanism, alchemy and channeling. She found many, many cords from him placed between me and his daughter, attempts to try to shield my intuition, mind control black magic and most concerning, Black magic that is making my right knee injured so I can’t walk well and in pain. My mom cast out one entity again but I feel I need to cast protection on myself and bind him. I would love your thoughts.

  34. Hi Tess,

    Me and my friend have been dealing with a lot of negativity which has effected work, finances and personal relationships, from many sources over the last 9 months. we have managed to use protection and shields and in a tough case a return to sender spell to get rid of most of them but this one person is sticking around. She is motivated by jealously and spite she is now causing issues with both of our relationships causing distance and obstacles my friend and her boyfriend almost spilt up because she was totally overwhelmed with feelings of jealousy and anger and couldn’t stop herself starting a fight with him over nothing. my financial situation suffered massively and my work was seriously effected. my friends car randomly blew up. And whenever we need to see each other it’s a real effort to meet up as stuff happens to stop us.

    This person was invited in but before i knew she wasn’t good. And since she has been around life has got harder than ever, i have cut her out my life as much as possible but now people around us are getting hurt with worse than average luck, bad health or severe depression. i can’t help but feel she needs to be bound to stop this with us and also anyone else she may get jealous of in the future.

    I’ve sat down many times and thought maybe i’m imagining all this as it can’t really be real… but I can’t carry on like this not now others are getting hurt too. I have no idea if she is strong enough to do this or if she is using other’s energies to do it but it feels like i have to do this now? i’m not going crazy am i? any help or advice would be appreciated.

  35. Hello, I have been suffering emotionally from verbal abuse from my ex husband and his now girlfriend for the past 3 years, he says anything and eveything be it not true but he will say anything to hurt me. He is beyond disrespectful and crosses lines All the time by constantly being disrespectful towards me, there’s so much more to it but After all these years all I’ve ever wanted was for him to have even the most basic respect towards me. What kind of spell do you recommend to get someone who is always being disrespectful and constantly rude and bad mouthing me to stop. I want so bad for our relationship to be even the most civil because our daughter is the most important thing and she is stuck in the middle. Unfortunately she is still so young and at the age where she doesn’t understand all the things me and her dad have arguments about. He really is not a good father at all !!! The only reason he ever sees his daughter is whenever he “can” which varies every month. She is so innocent and doesn’t understand all she knows is I’m her mom and he’s her dad and naturally her love for us is bigger then her little heart can hold. I wish for him to leave us alone for how ever long it takes till he can finally realize he was the one in the wrong and hurting us this way all these years and that I being the mother of his child never deserved any of it. Thank you !

  36. What would you suggest in regards to my 22 year old daughter staying with her dad and his wife for the next month. His wife is extremely manipulative and jealous of the relationship that our daughter has with her dad. I feel this woman is practicing something and has been for quite some time. My ex and I met her when we moved to NC and our oldest was 2 months old, he’s now 25. They married soon after our divorce was final, almost 20 years ago. I have dealt with her for quite some time. I have taught my daughter to protect herself as much as I can and also protecting her as I can. What Would you recommend? Would a binding of negative energy help? Thank you.

    • Renee’, my sense is that the best thing for you to do is call on angelic protection for her every single day. Every 24 hours or so, ask Archangel Michael to surround her in a sphere of golden white, protective light. You can also light a candle to Archangel Michael near a photo of her if you’d like, though just the invocation will be powerful too.

  38. Hi Tess, what shall I do if a child is involved. Meaning, my guy and I are finally on the right track. I did a white magic come back to me spell and commitment spell and we are now finally happy. However, his son’s mother is disrespecting me and our relationship. She will not let him see his son unless it’s at her house. She gossips about me, lies, and doing things to try and temp him to cheat on me. She has turned his family against me with lies and drama. It’s bad. I want to bind her or even banish her but I don’t want to do anything that will jeopardize his relationship with his son. I don’t want her hurt but I want her to stay out of our lives and leave my man alone. what would you suggest?

    • Tasha, it sounds to me like a binding is appropriate. You can do it with all the intentions you mentioned, and none of the ones you don’t want. It’s best if you can work the magic neutrally – just for the outcome you want, not with any emotions or personal feelings involved. Does one of these binding rituals call to you?

  39. So, let’s say you have a family member who has caused a great deal of stress and strife in the past. This family member, after the very recent death( this week) of their father ( my grandfather) is now causing everyone more stress and strife. Calling and claiming they are contesting wills, bothering the funeral home claiming the funeral home handled things in correctly, all the while, this family member lives half way across the country and did not even come home to care for her sick father or for the funeral. Would it be advisable to bind her to help stop the stress I am seeing her cause my family?

  40. Hi, I come to you in aid of help (and a possible solution). My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 and a half years, and both love each other very much. I know that he has been thinking of taking it to the next level i.e. an engagement, and on occasion as mumbled it under his breath to me. However, he has a very strong bond with his mother (after the death of his father at a young age, he has become the father figure in the family), and feels guilty to leave her alone (he feels that she would not cope without him). She constantly pays mind games with him, and plays the victim for his attention.
    The thing is I would not pry and ask for assistance with this, but, as I can tell this is the number one reason that’s stopping him from popping the big question to me, it is also stopping him from fleeing from the bird’s nest (mind the cliche there), and creating a life with me. Plus, as he has already mumbled it, it’s obviously there in his free will, but the guilt is the fear that’s stopping him.
    Is there a way that I can hear this karmic-band? – so that he can live his life without the guilt and the fear; whilst also being able to live the life he wants with me.

  41. Hello! I have a situation with a family member (MIL) who tries to negatively influence my children. For example, when she is around my children she says things like “your mother will be mad at you if x,y,z” and who know how else she tries to manipulate them because they are 2 & 4 and cant verbalize everything. I have a gut instinct that there is more. Also, whenever we go on trips and don’t include her, my children become very ill. Every time. Also, whenever my mother comes to visit and spend time with me and my children, my children become ill and don’t get to spend quality time with my mother. I have to keep trips with my mother secret so that nothing happens, everyone is healthy, and we can enjoy time together. I’m tired of living this way and need something to change. I want to protect my children from her manipulations and negative influence, I should probably also protect my mom because things have happened to her too. Would this spell be appropriate for this situation? I really want my children protected and I don’t want to have to worry about this anymore. This is someone in my life that I have to deal with. I wear black tourmaline, I surround my children in white light, butbts not enough. Thank you for your input.

  42. Hi,

    My husband and I have been together since we are in high school. I am already in my late 30’s and have 3 wonderful kids. My dilemma is that my husband treats me badly, and doesn’t respect me anymore. He only does that when he is mad at me, mad about something and he always puts the blame on me when things go wrong. what binding spell can I cast so that he will still be nice to me even when he is mad? Thank you very much in advance.

    • Gertrude, in this case, I highly suggest working on the emotional level instead of the magical level. In other words, have a talk with your husband or go to therapy, or – if necessary – end the relationship. It’s important for you to set boundaries about what you will and won’t accept. If you’ve done that sufficiently and you are still being bothered by your husband (i.e. if he harasses you even though you’re divorced), then you can revisit the idea of performing a binding. If you need additional guidance on how to do set boundaries, consider reading the book Assertiveness for Earth Angels by Doreen Virtue.

  45. Hi! Thank you so much for this post. I was wondering if a binding would suit my needs. My mother in law was awful to me when I started dating his son (we were 15 years old), she did so much harm to me, she insulted me, did everything in her control to avoid her son could interact with me like don’t allowing him to go out with me, talking with our principal at high school and making them to prohibit me to talk to him at school. I end up having severe depression as a result, luckily my boyfriend and I are still together (we´re 24 years old now!), She did stop to be that awful by in these past few years she still has been trying to break us apart. 2 years ago she made a big drama so he had to take a break from college and when he tried to get back he couldn´t and was forced to start again but now in the same city as his mom lives (he was studying in another state), now that he lives with him I have a long distance relationship. This year she has been acting like a new person bc she has a way younger boyfriend (which in a pretty bizarre way looks a lot like my boyfriend), she’s all happy and positive, she posts on her FB how happy she is with this man and even though it seems she hasn’t been awful to me she is still pretty awful with my boyfriend (she has always been pretty abusive towards him), so I will be honest, it makes me so mad how an awful person who has tried to destroy my relationship can have a “perfect” relationship, I feel all this is starting to affect me again and I don’t like all this negativity in my life, if it wasn’t bc of how much I love her son I’d wish to give her back all the pain she has caused me but I do not wish to compromise my own relationship or harm in any way, my boyfriend. I just wanna have a happy relationship and want for my boyfriend to be safe and able to feel loved at his home. What should I do? A binding? A karma spell? Just wait for karma to act one day? or just try to cleanse all this negative energy from myself? Thank you so much for reading this, I truly needed to express how I’m feeling right now

    • Helena, did you say your boyfriend is living with his mom? I am wondering if you can talk to your boyfriend about moving out and having less contact with his mother. I always like to start with common sense and being honest with everyone involved. If you’ve spoken with him and he doesn’t want to, that may be an issue in your relationship to deal with and consider first, before you work any magic.

  46. Hello. My ex mother-n-law from 8 years ago lives with my ex and my children (we have 50 percent shared custody). I pay her a fee to be my daycare when it’s my week for the boys. For 15 years out of 17 I’ve know her, she has hated me and talks bad things about to me. I have always known this and have fired her from being my daycare provider once for a couple years, but I had to go back to her. I thought we were past this, but my boys recently told me some things she has been saying about me to them (sigh, again). I was thinking of binding her only of saying bad things about to me to my boys. For the record, she talks bad things about pretty much everyone she’s met…eventually. She is also mean to one of my boys sometimes, but I could chalk that up to she’s being a parent and not letting them get away with what kids try to get away with. I also don’t like the prejudice things she teaches my boys about different races. The first spell you mention above, I like. But I want to make sure I’m correct. Is this situation even justified for me to do a binding spell? Can I be specific in the binding spell to just have her only not say bad things about the mother of her grandsons?

    Reply

    • Reba, before working magic, I would get a different daycare provider. It would not make sense to pay someone to hang out with your sons if you feel so strongly about that person that you want to bind her. If you’ve done that and it still feels like you’d like to bind her, you can revisit the question at that point. First though, do everything you can in the physical world to minimize her influence in your life and the lives of your sons.

  49. HI, mine is a little more twisted. To make it as basic as possible, brother-inlaw brought a lot of hurt upon our family, including sexually abusing my daughter. Turned the whole family against us to the point that we moved countries. I just want all the bitching behind our backs to stop and for the mother-inlaw to see it for what it really is. Although there’s been a lot of hurt, for some reason I still want a relationship with my mother-inlaw and for my children to have that relationship, but on my terms.

  54. Hello and good day to you Tess,

    I have a uncle who is believed to be wronged by someone of his place of employment. About 10 years ago it seems as though there are two co-workers who jokes about black magic and they are very jealous of him and his status at the company.

    He was in a dark place that looks like a medical case of depression for about 2 years. They traveled the world looking for help and after alot of visits to spiritual leaders he got back to normal. Everyone that read him said someone had cast something on him. He was normal up until July of last year.

    Now he’s the exact same way and is not working. He’s went to many different doctors and they give him antidepressants, however, when he speaks to spritual leaders they say that someone has put something on him again to cause the issue and its not medical.

    Its been a year and three months and he’s down in the dumps everyday. He’s usually a guy who’s always hosting these great gatherings, working on his house and working lots of overtime at work. Now he’s on unemployment, he never wants to leave the house to be in public places or with family. His wife says he’s acting the same way as when this has happened to him 10 years ago. The family is at a lost and is not sure how to help him.

    Are there any suggestions that you can offer?

    Thank you in advance for your time.

See I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to “spells” I read online, but i did something similar to this a few times when I was younger and it always worked AMAZINGLY well. it was the only times I thought I was capable of real magic. The way I did it was to write the name of the person on some paper while I had a candle lit. I would have a roll of like tissue paper or something and slowly wrap it around the written name while repeating a chant very similar to the one from The Craft and focusing on the candle. I’d then seal it with a little bit of candle wax and then just kept it safe. It always stunned me how whatever the issue seemed to just diappear overnight!

  58. Hello,
    There is a manager at my work that is an awful person. She is very cruel to everyone and lies to make her sound better. She doesn’t allow the people in her department to talk to anybody else, they have to go through her first (these are employees that have been here 20+ years, that just try to say hello. She has been here 4-5 years.) If a mistake is made, even by her, she blames it on one of her people. Things that we were able to ask for before her is now made to feel like it is against the rules. We hate to ask for anything, even if it is for help on something because she makes it feel like we shouldn’t be asking. But if we take it to management, they will go talk to her and she says the exact opposite to them, that she could do it without any problem. She has caused workers to see therapists and have to be on medication for anxiety, just to be able to come in to work. We have tried to talk to upper management (they say they will talk to her)but they continue to let it happen. We have also tried looking for other jobs and nothing comes up for any of us. I don’t know what else to do but it’s hard to come to work, it feels like I am back in High School trying to avoid a bully but I have not choice and have to speak with her. What would be best to do?

  60. Would a binding be appropriate to stop someone from self-harm?

    My daughter has been battling OCD with intrusive thoughts since she was 9. She’s 15 now and the circles and patterns of the OCD are getting worse, the self-harm through cutting and self-deprecating words are becoming all the fills the house.
    She is currently in treatment programs (was hospitalized many time now for the OCD, eating disorder, anxiety, and self-harm) and has been for 5 years but it’s just not enough anymore.

    I feel there is more I can do but unsure which path to take in helping her heal. It’s like I can feel it just out of reach but not enough to clearly see the next step. I would be forever grateful if you could offer any guidance. Thank you!!!

    • Hi! No, I wouldn’t do a binding in this instance. Does your daughter have an art form she enjoys? If she can get “obsessed” with an art form of some sort (dance, acting, painting, sculpting, or even something like web design), I’m sensing she’ll begin creating a healthier pattern of energy for herself.

She is also very controlling and willing to smear me by baiting me to react and then telling ohers, though never about what she does to abuse. My father is violent, he degrades me, he mocks..it’s horrible, I suffer from anxiety and depression and traumatic stress and I can’t leave, both because I’m dependent on them and because I feel traumatized by all of these experiences…my life had gotten better with therapy but after a few short months and worsening abuse it spiraled. Their behaviour shocks me and I don’t know what to do. If there is any chance for repair I want it but this can’t go on. I have little external social support and I don;t know what to do.

If so, that would be the first thing I would recommend. Once you’re safe and out of that environment, you can begin to approach helping your mother.

  64. Hello there, I enjoyed this informative article very much, it has given me hope.

    I live in a senior/disabled persons high rise and there is a group of women who try to control everything and bully others. Some are on the resident council and one in particular, the self-titled “Queen of all B-(word)’s is very ageist and racist as well as homophobic toward me and a few of my friends who live here, she bullies even other elderly people, calls them trash etc.

    She is currently trying to have all the young people kicked out by lying and being manipulative. She calls the headquarters daily and has people’s cars towed for even though they live here if they park in the spot she claims as hers. She dislikes my friend who is here to care for her mother and has gotten a group of her friends to pick fights with her to get her banned.

    She has gotten the previous manager fired because he did not give in to her unreasonable demands and is trying to bully the ones she dislikes into moving. I have multiple sclerosis and I cannot move again.

    I need help, I don’t know her last name and I wish her no harm but I want her and people like her to leave everyone alone. Should I/can I bind her with her first name only if I picture her in my mind? I would hate to accidentally bind any innocent person. She is a person who upon my first meeting her, told me: “If they want to see a b****, I’ll show them a b****.” with no reason for it at all other than to make me fear her somehow and I do now that I have seen how she and her crew have affected so many lives. Please help us. I can’t take it anymore. Now she comes up to our table in the community room and slams the chairs down while we are painting to get us to leave and painting is all I have to enjoy these days.

I do not wish him ill but I do want to put an end to his ability and desire to hurt others. Would a binding spell be appropriate here? Thank you!

  66. Thank you so much for this spell,
    I went back and read up on opening a circle as well, as I have not cast spells for many years.. but now find myself in a situation that the binding spell might be of use..

    Just a year ago, I got a great job, working with animals that I so love to do, my bosses are the best, good hearted people, and generous..
    But now the last month my job got less of a pleasure.. as the son of my boss (my second boss) got him self a girlfriend over the internet all the way from convenient Russia..
    Its a long story, butt lets just say she is No Good, endlessly whispering in his ear. Claiming all his attention getting him to things he didn’t stand for before. He is blinded
    She treats me like a dog, and as an inferior. But she must be seeing that I am on to her, as she avoids eye contact with me as much as she possible can.

    His parents,are not happy either, but they dont live there so they stay out of it. (They also dont know how they actually met)
    The animals suffer under her presents, and my job as well.

    So how about that binding spell, suitable??

  67. Hello! I love these binding techniques, simply because they aren’t complicated, so thank you for that! My question is, if these are also applicable with life or death situations? If not, are there other ways to bind someone from doing harm mentally or physically? I plan on doing this spell for the safety of a friend of mine who is thousands of miles away from me. I was also wondering if the effects are just as strong? Thank you very much!

  68. I am in a situation of sorts. My “husband” and i just recently had a terrible arguement that could have severed our relationship after 4 years of happiness. We barely ever fought, so this is very difficult to handle. I won’t go into the legalities of it all, however, the living situation he is in now is not a healthy one. He is not being bullied in a physical, tormenting way, but is being hoghly influenced by others who are dictating and defining our relationship over this one horrific night. These people he is with now are enabling his drinking and drug use, and influencing his decisions about us being together and working it out. I am wondering if the 3rd option in this scenario would work to keep their words away from him and have him influenced by his own heart rather than others people words who are trying to keep us apart.

  70. I need help. I’d like to bind my husbands ex-girlfriend from him and myself. We’ve been happily married for 10 years and their relationship ended 14 years ago. Every couple of years or so she turns up at his office, tries to contact him through his colleagues etc and occasionally stalks him via social media. My husband is very open and honest with me about it all but I was wondering if a binding spell is appropriate for this situation? If so, which one?

      • Thank you so much for replying. I feel comfortable with the third binding spell as I’m unfamiliar with tarot. I’m mindful of the threefold law though as I’m very new to all of this. Is there anything you’d recommend?

        Reply

        • You can do the third spell (and all these binding spells) without negative repercussions if you do it with no ill will. In other words if you come from a place of neutrality.

  71. I am a distraught mother. My son became very sexually curious in college and sought out men for sex through social media. Through the influence of a man almost twice his age, he’s gotten very dependent on this particular gentleman and deviant behavior. He has eliminated all of his friends and family to be with this man. My very naive son acquired a disease from this man. This man convinced him that it wasn’t a big deal. My son has so much potential to do good in the world but is unable to progress because of this relationship. I feel this is addictive behavior in regards to this man. We want our son back in our family. I feel I need to protect him from being further brainwashed and influenced further away from people who truly love him. Is a binding spell appropriate?

  72. I was wondering if a binding spell could help me. While married to my ex, he verbally and emotionally abused me. After the divorce I found out that he is a narcissist. We have a 15 year old son together. He remarried a woman 5 years ago. She is a narcissist also with a history of physically abusing her ex husbands. She has emotionally and verbally abused my son in front of me. I would not doubt that she has physically abused him as well. She also bullies me through text when she doesn’t get her way. They also have 2 young children together that I am concerned about. Would binding help to stop this?

    Reply

    • Lynn, I would personally concentrate on energetically protecting your son (and maybe their 2 young children) rather than binding your ex and his wife. As parents who interact with these kids regularly, a binding might not match the scope of the problem. I would also take legal action to get your son out of that environment if at all possible. Check out this post and pay attention to options 2, 3, and 5: https://tesswhitehurst.com/5-karma-friendly-alternatives-to-curses-and-hexes/

  73. My situation needs immediate binding! My ex-husband, an abusive narcissist, is causing problems with my ability to close on the house I was awarded in our divorce settlement. He is taking me to court for contempt and is going to inform the closing attorney, thus stopping my closing. Not only will this hurt me, but it will have negative implications for him as well, but he is too vindictive and irrational to understand. This is also the house that I live in with our children. I want him rendered powerless to cause any harm or negative consequences in my life any more. He has caused me enough pain. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  75. The current ruling government of my country want divide our region into two. (our region is due for independence but the president and his people want to take the richest part so they can dig the natural minerals in the land for their selfish interest)
    I feel like casting a spell to stop them and make them allow the independence.

    Even though am just a concern citizen or native of our region, I feel the the intention of the government is to bully and make a fool out of us.

    Some of our chiefs and prominent people of our land have taken the case to court but there’s still no solution. I learnt some of the chiefs has been bribed by the government to stand for the division.

  76. Hi Tess, I just came across your site and I am very new to this spells I always believe in it, though. I really need help. I am seeing someone sort of seeing each other. I don’t even know what to call our situation right now. We used to be together everyday, even said our I love you’s. Not too long ago something just changed, it’s not him though. It’s the people around us. First his kids, one of his kids rather, complaining to him how I just took everything from her. I took her dad’s time, and he didn’t have time for her. And how I took over their house (which is not true). I just did normal household chores like dishes, vacuuming and doing her dad’s laundry. Which I only done them when everything filed up. Secondly, my boyfriend’s (I am not even sure if he still my BF) good friend got involved. She was telling me and my boyfriend that she’d always side with his kids no matter what. After this drama. Me and the guy had a talk, he told me that “he’s confuse, that I got into his comfort zone and it scared him. That he really didn’t know what he feels towards me. He could not explain it. That he never really got into a serious relationship like we had.” He said, right now “we are starting over.” We’re on schedule now, we only see each other on weekends. One weekend, the same kid threw a fit because I just took his Dad’s time. I didn’t argue, I just said if only you’d tell me when I texted you that you would like time with your Dad. It’s alright for me.” And she’d always put it on social media. And of course my man’s dear friend jumped into the bandwagon calling me names, telling me how disrespectful, I just ignored it. My man even said to me, “how can we start over if this is what I heard?” And now this “good friend” of him, whenever she talks/texts/messenger to him she always has something bad to say about me. I just asked my guy, “what did I do this time?” I’m very careful with my actions but I still get bad rep. both from friend and kid. I’d reach out to his kid when she’s in good mood she’d say hi and say few lines, the rest of the time it’s always cold shoulders. I know for a fact that he would always side with them regardless. But this friend of him, just won’t stop.

    This guy and I are still seeing each other, like I mentioned before we see each other on weekends. I could still feel something but there’s a lot of “holding back”. Sometimes when he hugged it’s different, really tight sometimes especially if it’s just the two of us. He’d squeezed my hands. You know the saying “action speaks louder than words?” His actions sometimes said differently than what he told me. That’s why I know he has still something for me. Whenever I said I love you to him, he’d say or mumble under his breath that so hard to understand. From time to time I’d say I love you and I would tease him to say it loud not under his breath then I’d laugh … a painful laugh but nobody notice it though cause it sounded so natural but deep inside it hurts. I’m even crying writing this.

    I don’t like the idea of doing spells but I need his friend to stop. She needs to stop assuming what’s written on social media is the truth. She simply needs to stop. And as far as his kid’s concern, I wish she’d see that I simply love her Dad dearly. I want nothing but him to be happy. I was once his happiness. I still believe I am though. It’s just it’s being overshadowed with all the negativities of jealousy. I still hope it will go back to the way it was. I still believe but I need help. Thanks.

    • Hi! I’m so sorry to hear about this heartbreaking situation. It sounds to me like this man is not valuing you or defending you as much as someone would who is worthy of your love. Instead of doing a binding spell, I suggest releasing this relationship so you can be open and available for someone who prioritizes you and is able to make his own decisions about his feelings. If this feels challenging for you, I suggest working on your self esteem with a counselor. If money is an issue, there is an app called TalkSpace that provides affordable phone sessions with therapists. I hope this helps!

      • Hi Tess, I actually did the no. 2 bully binding on his daughter before I was able to read your reply. And I’ve seen a changed on her, she talked to me and even invited me to her new year’s eve party. But I haven’t done it to his best friend yet. I really appreciate your concerns, I do. However, I have this strong feeling to never give up. I have this feeling that he needs help. He needs some healing. First, I know in my heart he’s capable of love, even though he continually denies it. Second, he needs to let go and forgive the people that made him the way he is. He becomes defensive on topics that I guess “scares” him or made him the way he is. I asked him once if he’s scared, He’s reply is always like this, “I’m so use of being on my own. I’m super independent.” There are so many things that he needs to get cleansed, I believe in my heart I can help him with some spells. We all need cleansing, he needs it more than I do, I think. Thanks.

  77. Hello, I have a brother who is almost supernaturally strong and lack of judgement or any empathy when he is angry. He has said multiple times that he could beat anyone up when he is angry, regardless of who they are and how much he loves them. He is extremely verbally abusive and dismissive of everyone. He treats me like he owns me and like I’m his therapist. He makes death threats daily, and has come at me with a knife many times, having pushed one at my throat. He does not take no as an answer from any of us. This also includes my parents. I’m worried about him exploding if I suppress his energy.

  78. Hi Tess,

    Thank you for this! I have an ex who I co-parent with who will sometimes verbally bully me in front of our kids and will also call them (especially our oldest) unkind names such as “baby” when he is “punishing” them or annoyed with them. My 7 year-old shared that he rolls his eyes at her frequently when she tell him about things she’s excited about or anything that she and I do together. My concern is for them. They notice everything and if they could spend a lot less time in his energy, that’d be my wish…but the State we divorced in is pretty strict about 50/50 custody without really strong probable cause to give one parent more time and they don’t view this kind of behavior as abusive (enough). SO since they are around his energy and are already trying to guard themselves from it when he acts like this, I want them to feel protected. I also have a sense he needs peace. Do any of the three binding spells make sense for a situation like this?

    Thank You!

  81. Hello, I’m not sure if a binding spell makes sense in this situation. I’m not too familiar with magic, I’m still learning about Wicca and what it means to live by it. I was just curious, I have someone whose been stalking me and has actually tried to break into my apartment knowing I was here. Even after I scared him off (I thought I had at first), he came back and tried to break in through the window. He’s been watching me (according to the cops) and I have reported it to every authority recommended. I wake up and find footprints outside of my window with cigarettes put out. The authorities can only do so much with this information, and want me to call them when/if I find him in the act. I take care of my little sister as well and she comes home late at night from work, which scares me because I’m not always with her. I’m set to move out but still have a few weeks, I’m scared to death that he might follow me or know where I might move. Is this something that could help this situation?

  83. Hi, I’d like to know your opinion on what would be best for me. I have a family member that is like a bully, a thief and does things just to hurt other people. This is an example of what she did to just one (out of many) family member:
    1)After an accident, she cared for her brother at her home. After finding out she was deleting msgs of concerned family members, when he was better, he left
    2)After leaving, She called his business insurance company pretending to be his daughter and cancel it so he can’t make any money.
    3)She had a couple people go to his house and remove all Sheetrock from the inside, causing thousands in damages.

    He is the sweetest man and would do harm to nobody. I hate to see my family go through this with her. It has been going on for years, maybe over 30, she has always been like that, causing others harm and stealing from us all. What do you think I should do?

  86. Hi Tess, thanks for this helpful post! So I am currently removing my brother from my life. I’ve been going to therapy and we’ve uncovered how much he manipulates, controls and abuses me emotionally. I’ve always been afraid of him, he is mentally unhealthy and flies off the handle at the drop of a hat. He’s been in physical fights many times and I feel that if I upset him and he’s in one of his “moods” that he could hurt someone. This week I set a healthy boundary with him and he lost it and attacked me verbally and tried to manipulate me again. I’ve blocked him on my phone and am wondering if it would be appropriate to bind him as well. I am honestly pretty worked up about it still, should I wait to do any sort of binding spell until I am more calm and less upset about it all? I just want to stop his hurtful behavior because he treats everyone this way. Which one would you suggest for this situation? I appreciate your help!

  89. Dear Tess,
    I have had a terrible time at a college, which turned into a nightmare trying to gain a qualification. Doing the right thing I have now made complaints to the Governing body about my ex bully tutor. Today I received a response from her through the governing body in which she has lied continuously about me. She has bullied some of my other peers over the years in very despicable ways, I have lost all my confidence and will no longer be doing what I loved, which is why I took the course in the first place. I’m trying to keep strong and do the right thing, but she scares me. What do you suggest. I practise tarot and some spells when I was younger, I pray to st.Michael regularly, I just don’t want her to hurt anyone else, like she has me. Please can you advise me. Thanking you kindly

  90. I can’t decide whether the person I wanna bind is a bully, she’s proven to be a lier and envious person. She also prefers her own benefit over morals, and that’s what concerning me. Every friend can turn to enemy, right? And although she’s playing the role of my friend I know she’s potential of hurting me and she can do it without a blink. So what should I do? Is there some other way to keep her in her place?

  92. Hi,
    i have read about different curse types and the one that fits my situation is a binding curse.

    “The binding: This spell causes an inability to act. It may manifest psychologically as depression or anxiety, or it may operate by simply making none of your plans amount to anything. If you find yourself completely unable to act upon your decisions, then you might be under a binding.”

    when i was 8 years old i started shaking uncontrollably with a severe stomach pain and i could feel another invisible entity was entering my body through my belly button area and ever since my stomach has never been the same. Since then i started getting the worst nightmares you can imagine and later in life 6-7 years ago i started doing lucid dreaming and out of body experience and it was during the out of body experience when i came face to face with the deamon on multiple occasions. on one occasion he was hugging me tightly and sticking his sharp claws in my body and as i tried to pull him off me with all my power i could only lift him one inch and he was stuck to me with a powerful magnetic force. since i have seen him in my lucid dreams here and there. I keep getting non stop negative thoughts of all kinds and bad images. i get drastic mood swings in a very short space of time, and constantly feel low on energy or motivation.

    also when i was a child i would get sick and couldn’t sleep at night and i would find my self in sleep paralysis and i would be surrounded by these evil looking entities dressed in black capes performing a ritual on me.

    I am 100% sure the curse i feel is as a result of this, is there anyway i can change this.

    I tried ayahuasca and i felt totally cleared of all negativity, but as i came back to the cycle of my normal life i eventually went back to my old self

    any suggestions?

  93. Hello Dear Tess,
    My situation is a bit different, i have my father with cancer and me and my siter are living together. After denying the sexual harrasment i had from our landlord and decided to raise our will because he also was stealing us in rent he became more hostile. Started to visit us by cursing us calling us names bullying us , threaten us, i have come to a point that i’m afraid to go out of the house, financially we are a bit down so we can’t afford right now any lawyers and do something more about it.
    He even call our father harass him calling him names also cursing him to die soon because of the cancer as i said my father has. Every time that landlord that comes here i’m terryfied really afraid for my life and my sister’s life also. I have called the police many times at least they know but what else to do…. Than man has done the worse to us and i really need this to stop so we can breath again until we leave from this house. So i’m wondering does spell No3 will be good for this situation? Honeslty don’t know many things about it but i hope for a good outcome for us.
    Thank you in advance and apologize for the long comment/question.

    • Hi! It does sound like a binding (like #3) is appropriate, but because you are living in the landlord’s space, I would immediately start looking for pro bono legal representation, or look into taking your landlord to court on your own. I’m not sure what state or country you’re in, but what your landlord is doing is most likely illegal, and you may be able to get compensated and legally protected so it will be easier for you to move out. I know some states have legal organizations that specifically work to protect tenants in situations like yours. See what you can find.

  97. Hi Tess! I’m wondering if my situation would benefit from a binding. My cousin is more of an energetic bully than a traditional bully. She only reaches out when she needs something and every few months (for the last 7 years!) causes a huge dramatic blow out. It’s exhausting and frustrating. Not only am I worried she’s trying to pit the family against each other, I’m 10 weeks pregnant and worried about the effects of all this stress on the baby. We had our latest fight today and I couldn’t stop shaking for an hour. Am I overreacting wanting to bind her?

    Reply

    • Kate, I don’t think you’re overreacting, but I am getting the message that you may want to set more physical boundaries before binding her. For example, you might consider not answering when she calls and generally choosing to have less (or no) contact with her in the future. If you do that and she still goes out of her way to cause problems, you may want to revisit the question.

      Reply

      • Thank you so much for the response! I blocked her from texting/calling and on Facebook right when the fight happened yesterday, and then I heard from my poor mother that she showed up at her house and harassed her for THREE HOURS. So I agree, cutting her off is necessary at this point – and then maybe a binding as well. Thank you so much for your help! 🙂

    What spell would you suggest for our neighbours? We have been ongoing issues with them for the past 5 months since we moved here.

Any suggestions on what would be suitable would be appreciated.

  99. Can we bind a person who wants to change you thinking its coming off beneficial but it ends up hurting you instead for long periods of time when they make the statements? If it’s hurting someone then I think the binding is in a positive way with no negative karmic rebound. I don’t think the person doing it realizes it’s coming off so bad even though I end up crying so much from it and it manifested into physical pain.

  100. Tess,
    I have 2 questions: 1.) I’ve always been a believer that people are energy, spiritual, and can be powerful, but I’m a “newbie” to all of this. I’m not terribly religious, but I do believe in God. Is it possible to do some of this without betraying my beliefs? Traditional teaching says the two cannot co-exist, but I believe that if someone has good intentions (or at least not bad ones) they can exist. I believe in God, but also that there are elementals, and many other energies that cannot be explained by the Bible that are very real. I’m a bit torn and wondering what your take on this is. 2.) I have been tangling with someone at work (all of us are doctoral-level professionals) and we seem to feed off each others’ negativities and I’m just as bad at taking stabs at her as she is to me; however, she seems to be sabbotaging me pretty seriously lately. I have watched your attachment video and have been meditating. Would the neutralization alternative be appropriate to try to quash some of this? I fear if it continues I will lose my job. Lastly, I wanted to say how impressed I am that you actually answer each and every post with amazing advice and comfort. You’re such a blessing. Thank you.

  102. Hello!
    Would it be wrong if I blind my father? He is an actual bully towards me and my mother, I can handle it no more

    • It wouldn’t be morally wrong (in my opinion), but it may cause more problems than it solves if you are living with him. Are you old enough to get out of that environment? If not, you may want to try shielding your energy instead, possibly with a daily meditation like this one: https://tesswhitehurst.com/quick-thorough-aura-cleansing-meditation/. As for your mom, it sounds like she is choosing to stay in that relationship and environment, and I wouldn’t get involved with her free will. Taking care of her is not your job anyway: it’s hers.

  103. Hello,
    I was wondering if my karma would be affected if I blinded a girl/ex who I know will have another negative effect on my boyfriend and I’s relationship? She hates me passively and constantly tries to get into my boyfriends bed. I trust him completely and would never enchant or use magick to make our relationship thrive. I just know she needs to go and I’ve had to stop trying to find hexes and make mojo bags because of the karma.
    Thank you for your time,
    Ella

  104. Hi Tess,

    I am being bullied at work by 3 people. They are targeting me and make false complaints about me. They gossip about me and are making my work day very hard.
    Can you please help me? Which option is best for me.

    Regards
    A

  105. Hi Tess Thank you for sharing all your knowledge about magic. Wow i have read most of your spells articles and i love them, and apparently bullying generates a lot comments and interest…its sad to see that so many in some level are victim of bullying. I have a question about the spells, i am planning on doing the number 1. What if a child is being bullied in school, (the school wont do anything about) but he doesn’t know the names of all of them? Can that still be done? And for multiple bullies is it ok to do it in a single spell?
    Thank you again Tess, Many Blessings

    • Arlinda, yes – you can do the spell on multiple bullies at once, and you don’t need to know all the names. You can just use “All the bullies” if that feels powerful for you.

  106. Hello – I am wondering if performing any of these binding spells, it is alright or not to do them in your room? I am hesitant to work this type of magic in the room my family sleeps in. But, I was drawn to the salt binding and feel that’s the only safe place to leave the set up overnight. I’m in a relatively urban townhome and so working outside would be too public, and I have animals in the house that might get into things in the living room.

  107. Hello, I’m drawn to the last binding spell. Does it matter where I place it in the freezer, or does it just matter that it’s frozen.

      • Thanks! My fiance’s boss keeps harrasing him and threatening his job and really treating him unfairly. He goes into work and works hard everyday. Always trying to set up traps for him so he can get fired.

  108. I used the salt circle and it was extremely effective. The side effect was that I realize now how brainwashed I was andhow much he lied. Sigh. Is there something to sooth heartbreak? We are talking ten year marriage and kids not anti. To see abusivedad😖😫

  109. Hello, in option 3 is it okay to put more than one name in the jar? I have a handful of individuals who have been bullying me. Thank you!

  110. Great article. I have a bully who is a coworker of mine. He doesn’t bully at work However, he has come to the realization that he is hurting people around him and he is struggling with becoming a better person. He wants me to bind him from harm so that he stops hurting people and being negative and mean. He recently started a fight at a bar unprovoked and put a man in the hospital. I see his struggles and I want to help him on his road to self improvement. He has walked a hard path and I know that his anger comes from a place of fear like many bullies. I am concerned that binding is not the right option. I am currently working with him through Tarot readings. What would you suggest? Also, what would you suggest for someone who wants to bind themselves from harm or use spell work for self improvement?

    • How interesting! It’s my sense that your intuition is correct about binding not being totally appropriate in this case. If he truly wants to better himself, it will probably be most helpful for him to see a counselor or therapist to help him shift his behavior.

  111. Hello!
    I’ve been thinking about cursing or hexing someone, but I remembered binding spells and thought this would probably be more suited to the situation.
    A couple of people have caused me serious harm to my mental well being and causing physical distress to others, and what’s scary is they Enjoy hurting other people and causing upheaval. I want to stop these people causing anymore chaos to other peoples lives, any way I can…

    Any advice would be wonderful <3

  112. Hello Tess, I hope you are doing well. I have performed one of your binding spell two months ago, and I believe it went well. Recently the person that I have binded, he has come back and creating more hassle towards my work. I simply just want graduate from this degree and move on with my life, but this person seems to holding my back and making me suffer more. I would like to hear some advice from you, thank you.

    • Hello, when I have experienced recurring challenges like this in the past, I’ve found it useful to look deeply at any aspects of myself that might be attracting the challenge. So, for example, is there a limiting belief you may have that you deserve this treatment? Does it remind you of anything from your childhood or past? There is a book called You Can Heal Your Life that can help you look into situations like this on the inner level. This can help you graduate from the degree and move on, as you so eloquently phrased it.

  114. Hello, I am just starting Witchcraft, like just just starting. I was wondering if there was any easier way to bind a bully, I don’t have access to a lot of stuff to do Magic with and I’m not sure if my family would approve of me starting magic so I can’t really say ‘hey can we go get some mason jars? I need to do a spell ‘ I mean my family wouldn’t do anything to me for doing magic i just want to keep this a sdcret. To sum it up i don’t have a Mason Jar, would any old jar work 😅? I should have told you that from the start rather than telling you all that drama.

  115. Hello Tess, I am being bullied by a woman (i think) whom is using what I think is black magic to hurt/curse me and my fiance. They harass me through texts with untraceable numbers and sends me messages through TV screens and messages in my notes on my phone and anywhere else they can. They throw things in my bedroom and constantly ruin any opportunities him or I have in life such as Jobs, Housing, or anything else they can. They laugh and pick at our insecurities when they do these evil things. I’ve tried smudging and I’ve tried certain chants (nothing that would cause any harm to them, though I wish they could get a taste of their own medicine.) I’ve tried wearing black obsidian to protect my aura but they dont stop… this has been going on for 3 years now and I just found out they have been using a fake name so I dont even know the persons real name… I’m stuck and I dont show my fear or agitation to them but I dont know how to make them stop. Please help.

  116. Hello! I was hoping to perform a bind on a person that I don’t necessarily know personally, but is more of a political figure that is making decisions that are harming many people. Would you recommend to perform a bind?

  117. Hi. I did a freezer spell on people I believe were being aggressive or passive aggressive toward me. However I was a few weeks pregnant when I did it, and miscarried soon after. Did the freezer spell cause my miscarriage? I feel so much guilt over it. It was certainly not my intention to harm anyone.

  118. Hi. Tess. I am 5 months into my current job in a new state away from home. One of my co-workers from a different physical office had been arrogant from the beginning of my interaction with me (i.e. via work phone and instant messenger) from day 1. In the past 6 weeks or so, the co-worker had been a huge jerk, acted condescending and passive aggressive, and even accused of me causing huge mistakes at work without proof. I ended up suffering severe stress, sleep disruptions and having nightmares about work. I spoke with my management about this issue and even documented the bullying messages in an email to myself at work, but nothing was done. With this background in mind, should I consider any of the options you listed in your blog here? Also, would carrying Tiger Eye and Aqua Blue Obsidian from a white magick practitioner help my situation? I do not want harm on the person. I just don’t want this person to bother me at work.

  119. I’m so thankful that I found your website! I will be watching your videos very soon… I’m very new at the idea of doing a spell, I’m what I believe to be a green witch and I’m definitely an empath.. and in my heart I know I need to do something about the bully in my life. I hired a friend to help me rebuild a camper for my business venture – he asked to be a part of my company and I conceded because I truly thought it would be a good idea moving forward. Well almost 2 years later the project is almost done, he took his time, while I helped more than enough with his business. Any time I brought up getting things in writing, he never responded. In January we had an altercation where he was a totally different person. I really don’t know if evil would be the word I could use, but there was something in his eyes – screaming in my face, breaking things, and then tossed me over in a chair I was sitting in. Since that moment, everything inside me says get away, but now he’s laying claim to my camper, and he thinks he can run me and the business. That incident has taken me months to process and move on from because my anxiety was so so bad – he triggered other unresolved issues. He’s a totally narcissistic, verbally abusive and a gaslighter… I know that he treats his family the same way, because he has gone to jail and had to take an anger management class. All I know is my dream for my business has been tainted by this man, and he says I owe him way more money than I know I do. He thinks my camper belongs to him. I just want to rid myself of this person and have him rightfully release my camper without a problem. All I owe him is money, nothing else. I’ve stated this to him multiple times, but he’s not listening and says he’s going to speak with his attorney. I know in my heart I need to do something.

  120. My sister has an abusive husband that she wants to remove from her life. We would like him to leave on his own in a positive way so that she can move on with her life and feel safe. (We are aware of all of the help that is available out there for her. This is a complicated situation.) He is a very intuitive person and is a narcissist. (crazy and scary combo) What would you recommend for this situation? There is a New Moon coming so I thought it would be a great opportunity to work something up.

    • Vic, I understand this is complicated, but is there a way for your sister to leave instead? I’m not sure working magic for the purpose you are describing is the best avenue for her.

  121. hey tess. i am a younger witch in school and i am having a hard time with one kid and i want to bind/nutralise his power i did a name burning with a red candle and it did not work

    • Hi Andres! This may sound weird, but I’m getting the feeling that if you surround him with the energy of love, things will change for the better. For example, imagine if you adopted a cat or a dog who had been abused, and so the animal was always aggressive and violent. Of course you would have compassion and do your best to heal that animal’s aggression with love. If you can possibly imagine this kid in the same way, and send the feeling of love his way any time you think of him, you might shift the energy for the better. This doesn’t mean you have to say anything to him or act any way around him, it’s all about how you treat him in your mind and with your energy. Maybe give this a try for a week or two and let me know how it goes. (Of course, since it sounds like you are being threatened and/or bullied, I also recommend that you tell an adult in a position of authority if you haven’t already.)

  122. There is a guy I work with who is more than a bully, his behaviour is subnormal and frightening. He shouts at us, belittles us, kicks and breaks work that we have done, and damages work property. He is abusive and threatening. I have only been there 5 months and am looking for a new job as he is damaging my mental health, which isn’t the best in the world as it is! Our supervisors and managers know that he is trouble, even his union rep is getting annoyed with his behaviour but he doesn’t want him to leave as it will take ages to replace him. People who have spoken against him in the past have been threatened and he warned me that if people snitch on him they will be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives. Of course, he says this to me when others aren’t around, so it would be my word against his and to be honest I just really want to get out of this situation. There is no point going to HR, police etc as he denies things all the time. He is not someone to get on the wrong side of or mess with, so please don’t tell me to report him as I couldn’t cope with the worry that he may harm me.
    What spell or binding would be best in this situation? and are there any spells etc that I could use in the meantime to protect me, get him to leave me alone, make me stronger etc?
    Thanks
    xxxx
