• 1/2 ounce olive oil 1
• 5 drops pine oil
• 12 drops rue oil
• 7 drops pepper oil
• 10 drops peppermint oil
• crushed black peppercorns
• obsidian or black onyx
  Make a poppet out of black cloth, stuff it with cotton balls or batting and tobacco.
  Add hair and/or nail clippings if you have them.
  Sew it closed and staple a picture of the person to the front of the poppet (if you have one).

Light the altar candles.
Light the black candle and adjust the mirror so that the flame is reflected in the glass.
Hold the poppet out in front of you and say:
Creature of cloth thou art,
Now creature of flesh and blood you be.
I name you (name of the person you are binding).
No more shall you do me harm,
No more shall you spread false tales,
No more shall you interfere in my life, nor in the lives of my loved ones.
By the power of the Gods and by my will,
So mote it be!
Draw an invoking pentagram over the poppet.
Take a red ribbon and begin to wrap the poppet like a mummy, leaving no space unwrapped. Say:
I bind your feet from bringing you to harm me.
I bind your hands from reaching out to harm me.
I bind your mouth from spreading tales to harm me.
I bind your mind from sending energy to harm me.
If you do so continue, let all negative energy be cast and reflected directly back at you!
Tie off the ribbon and hold the poppet in front of the mirror while you visualize all negative
energy this person has sent to you being reflected back to them.
Wrap the poppet in black cloth and tie with another length of ribbon. Say:
Great Mother, I have bound this person
from harming me and my loved ones.
By the powers of three times three
By Earth and Fire, Air and Sea
I fix this spell, then set it free
'Twill give no harm to return on me
As I will, so mote it be!
Let the candle burn out while the poppet sits at its base, then take the poppet and the remains
of the candle far from your home and bury it deep in the ground or toss it in the ocean and walk
away without looking back.
