Are you wondering how to do a binding spell, or looking for an easy binding spell for protection?
Reclaim your power and neutralize a bully’s ability to cause harm with one of these simple binding spells.
What is a binding spell? And how do you cast one?
According to author Judika Illes, the definition of a binding spell is magic 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: in essence when you need to protect yourself from a bully. In other words, when you need protection from someone is “habitually cruel, insulting, or threatening to others who are weaker, smaller, or in some way vulnerable.”
If you’re 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 your own behalf, and/or on behalf of anyone else who is being threatened and unfairly treated.
As long as you’re using a binding spell exclusively for justice and protection – and as long as you hold the intention that your spell is for the ultimate good of all concerned – 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. So that’s the last week of a moon cycle, or the week before the new moon. But sometimes, you can’t wait. So you can go ahead and follow your intuition and perform one of these spells when you feel the moment is right.
No matter who the bully is, remember that they are only a human, and humans can be magically bound.
Here are 3 simple, easy, powerful spells for binding 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.
Binding #1: Easy Salt and String Spell
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.
Binding #2: Simple Tarot Spell
You’ll be working closely with the archetype of justice for this binding spell.
Place the Justice card from any 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 #3: Freezer Binding Spell
Freeze out a bully and put his or her power on ice with this freezer 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 any of these binding spells (and indeed all your magical work) from this strong inner knowing, and you will certainly prevail.

Just curious can the binding spell performed even if the one doing it has period? Probably a silly question but needed to ask 🙂
Yes! That shouldn’t affect it.
Ok thank you!!
Will the bully binding spells work on someone who is deceased?
Tracy, why? Are you being bullied by a ghost?
A man who molested me passed away recently and I want to make sure his spirit can’t mess with me.
Tracy, yes: I’m sensing a binding spell would be appropriate.
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.
Hello again, yes so far we pay what the contract says so we are ok we have communicate with lawyer and ligally we ar covered by that.I’m in Greece, as law says though we have to stay until the contract is over in two months and so we will do. But i really want all this bullying to stop until we leave from this place.
Forgot to ask before sorry , do i need to the spell in any specific day or use a specific water ? Or i just use the water we drink?
Thank you in advanse.
Drinking water is fine. Read the intro for timing advice.
Thank you very much for your time Tess.
Warm Regards
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?
Sam, have you worked with a psychologist? You can certainly find psychologists who are aware of energy and magic.
Hello, what if I bind a bully, to stop them from bullying everyone else in my class besides me? They don’t mess with me, or talk to me. They bully others in the class, and even hit someone on the back of the head. I know it’s said not to perform magick for the benefit of others, but is this a situation that it is okay to protect others? If that makes sense.
Alexandria, yes, I think a binding sounds appropriate in this situation, and I applaud you for your kindness to your classmates. Just be sure to do the binding from a place of neutrality. Don’t let any anger get in the mix. And call on divine protection before you begin.
