To Keep a Ghost from Following You By Edain McCoy
Walk briskly to your home without running. Just before you reach your front door, stop and spin quickly three times counterclockwise. Chant a banishing charm, such as:
Ghoulies, ghosties, shades of the dead,
Turning, spinning, dizzy in the head.
This chant should be silly, so as to confuse the pursuing spirits so that they cannot follow you.Dealing with Ghosts or Restless Spirits By Cerridwen Iris Shea
First, do research. Know what it is you're dealing with. Read up on the history of your town, your street, your property. Find out what happened to the people who lived there before you.
During a waning moon, do a major housecleaning. Then take two white candles and a green candle. Set up an altar in your usual fashion, only do it in the place where the disturbance is usually the strongest. Cast your cirlce, creating a safe space between the worlds. Call in guardians for each quarter and ask them specifically to guard. Burn some spirit incense. A good combination is rosemary, sage, patchouli, frankincense, and a dash of mugwort.
Invite in the spirit, making it clear that it can only enter the sacred space with good intentions. The circle is neutral and all unpleasant emotions need to be left outside it. Find out who it is and what it wants, and if you can help it in any way. Ask questions and really listen to the answers. Ask it if you can work arrangements to co-exist in peace and find out if it's attached to the house specifically. You might be able to compromise with it, leaving it offerings and mentioning it when blessing the house guardians, in exchange for its good behavior.
Don't assume that it's the same as the history you know, and don't assume that it's telling the truth. Realize that it is an individual and it may be lost, confused, angry, lonely and frustrated. Also it may have different values than you. If you need something specific, explain what it is as clearly as you can. Be very patient and try to work things all the way through.
Spirits can be helpful, letting you know when something is wrong, such as a burning cigarette in the hallway, or someone trying to enter illegally. If you have to banish it, do a full-scale ritual. The dark of the moon is best. Try to come up with your own after doing research.
Use the strongest banishing incense and oil you can find. Call on your guardians and totems to come into the circle and help you. Cast your circle for your entire home and property. Starting in the north, moving counterclockwise, perform the banishing. Go into all cupboards, closets, nooks, crannies, crawl spaces, tool sheds, ect. Once the banishing is done, start in the north again, and move clockwise throughout the entire space to seal it.
When the new moon begins the next day, do the strongest protection ritual you can find and enforce it every day until the full moon. You will need to re-cleanse and re-seal the space every month.
Even during the banishing you should be polite to the spirite. Don't over dramatize, just use firmness and clear intent. It is your home and you have the right to make it a safe, magickal place.
If you move you should cast another circle and invite your spirits in. Explain why you have to move and where you are going. Some spirits are bound to a place and will stay where they are. Others may wish to go with you. Discuss it with them and come to a mutual understanding. Make sure you take the time to bid them a respectful goodbye and thank them for everything.
When you move into a new place, take some time to get to know any spirits that already reside there. Include them in your cleansing and consecrations and talk to them about their place and whether they should stay or go. Help them feel respected and real.Salt Exorcism By Patricia Telesco
Take some salt and sprinkle it counterclockwise around the inside perimeter of your living space, repeating this phrase purposefully:
Away from me, spirits and negativity.
Next, take a hand vacuum and clean up the salt clockwise, saying,
Magick shine. This space is mine.* Spell to Remove a Poltergiest
The easiest way to remove the negavite energy in your house that is casued by poltergiests is to perform a massive love spell. The point is to fill the house up with so much love that all of the negativity has to leave. It works really well with fertility spells, but love spells work as well.
Draw a big pentacle on the floor in salt. Place four big white candles in the four corners of the room to represent the four elements. Play empowering music. Place little red candles all over the room. Burn Myrrh, Dragon's Blood and Frankincense incense.
Write your intentions for the spell on a papper in Dove's Blood ink and burn it before performing the spell. While performing, try to draw all of the candle energy towards you and send it out toward the spell.
The room should be as empty as possible, except for the altars. Peform any love spell that makes you feel all warm and fluffy. Do not use any artificial light. Take a cleansing bath beforehand and relax. Sit and meditate with some sandalwood incense. Dance around naked. Drink mint tea. Try to relax and be happy about your spell.
Perform at midnight or sunset. Call on your personal deities. Try to incorporate ylang-ylang oil. Decorate the room with poetry books, apples and symbols of love.
Before performing, cleanse the room and consecrate it with salt water, sage, and glitter. Then draw the pentacle.Protection Against Ghosts Quickies:
Scatter tea leaves on the ground in front of the house to protect against evil spirits. Use gardenia petals to attract good spirits. To keep evil spirits from the house, hang dried seaweed in the kitchen. Place a dish with some vinager and pepper in it in the room where the prsence is felt. The vinager will keep them away.
