Chase Away Bad Feelings with This Magic Spell for Cleansing Negativity


This spell isn't really meant to get rid of a person that's causing trouble, or to break bad habits, but rather to disconnect from a situation that's draining your energy. Examples might be a fight you had with a loved one which you are not getting over even though the relationship is otherwise good and you wish for it to continue, or when you have a big project at work that you've finished but you are still fretting and stressing about while you worry over the outcome. This spell is far milder than a Cut and Clear or a Separation spell. 

This spell is also good for after you've done another spellcast and you need to disconnect while waiting for the outcome. Many people continue to fret and fuss over a spell while awaiting the results, even though doing so can damage the power of the spell from the negative energy it creates. This spell may help, and you might also look at these tips for staying occupied while waiting for spell manifestation.

cleansing and purification anti-stress witchcraft spell

You need:

  • rosemary
  • juniper berries or leaves
  • bay leaf
  • mugwort
  • Sage oil
  • New Life oil
  • a freestanding double action candle (preferably blue and black, but white and black will also do)

Prepare the herbs by boiling them in water to make a strong infusion. Strain the herbs out and add this herb water to your bath. Soak in the water at least until your skin begins to prune -- this means your skin is absorbing the mixture. Let the bath water drain away when you're done. (Note: if you don't have a bathtub, you can let the infusion cool and spongebathe with it, or slowly pour the mixture over your head. If you do this, do not towel-dry afterward but instead be sure to let the infusion air dry on.)


Prepare your double-action candle by butting it -- this means you snip off the wick, then flip the candle around and scrape away enough of the base of the candle to expose new wick and create a new top of the candle. On the black side, carve in a downward spiral a short description of what you want to break from (example: "obsession over spellcast".) On the blue side (or white side) carve in an upward spiral a short description of what you want to have instead (example: "contentment and confidence.")


Dress the black side of the candle with Sage oil to clear negative energy, and dress the blue or white side with New Life oil. Set up your candle, and lighting the black end, burn it all in one go.


NOTE: Double action candles are most often found in the colors white and black, red and black or green and black. Blue and black is rare, however, you can make your own blue and black double action candle by dipping the end of any freestanding blue candle into melted black wax in order to coat it halfway up the length of a candle. In hoodoo style spells you will always coat the base side of the candle in black, never the top, as the ritual butting of the candle is considered part of the spellwork, representing "turning around" a situation.

The Intranquil Spirit

(EDIT: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my book  The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon.  This post has some incomplete information which is clarified in the book.) The Intranquility spell is, unfortunately, the first resort of many a rejected lover. In some ways it makes sense -- the more unhappy and forlorn one is about a breakup, the better this idea of making the other partner feel just as much so starts to sound. Unfortunately, this spell is often not well suited to a case. The purpose of the standard Intranquility spell is to have the person be tormented by the spirit until they make contact with you, or whomever the spell is being cast for. This means that if a person is already in good contact with their ex OR if they're one of those people who cannot restrain themselves from initiating contact, then this already is probably not the right spell for that case. If you've had an Intranquility spell cast and you make contac...

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or any other number of metaphors. I had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it with Bend Over powder. He paid me what I ...

13 Herb Bath for Curse Removal

13 Herb Bath for curse removal can be made from from any 13 uncrossing and purification herbs. For example, if I needed to fix a batch of 13 herb bath right now based on what I've got in the house, I could mix bay leaves, rue, mint, rosemary, wood betony, sage, verbena, angelica root, white rose petals, lemongrass, lemon peel, agrimony and arnica, and it would suffice well. Other herbs like hyssop, pine needles, juniper leaves, boldo, eucalyptus leaves, mullein, basil, lavender, or marshmallow leaves would be good to use too. By no means complete, here is a list of just a few herbs said to remove a curse or jinx that you can use to make your own 13 Herbs bath: Agrimony Alkanet Angelica Arnica Basil Bay leaves Black Pepper Blessed Thistle Boldo Cayenne Pepper Chives Eucalyptus Garlic Hyssop John the Conqueror Juniper Lavender Lemon Lemongrass Lime Marshmallow leaves Mint Mullein Onion Pine Rosemary Rue Sage Sandalwood Verbena White Rose Petals ...

Spiritual Use of Turpentine in Hoodoo and Witchcraft

  I have posted in the past about the use of giving one's bedding a spiritual cleansing from time to time.  I recently was laundering my pillows in the same load of laundry as some turpentine-soaked rags, with the result that the pillows emerged from the wash reeking of turpentine.  From a magical perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Turpentine is used in old-time hoodoo rituals for purposes such as uncrossing, protection and sometimes as a feed for mojo bags. Its solvent powers and strong odor do indeed suggest a powerful spiritual cleansing agent, and it is still used in some modern day cleaning products on a purely practical level for these same reasons.  Old time medicines sometimes included turpentine as a thing to drink, in small doses. A book from the 1850s, The Domestic Medicine Chest , recommends giving it to children in a dose of one teaspoon for killing tapeworm. Relatedly, in old time hoodoo cures for "live things" turpentine might be made into a tea...

Blockbuster, Van Van, Uncrossing, Road Opener -- What's the Difference? What to Use Against Jinxes?

Many hoodoo formulas are related to one another, sometimes very closely. Some formulas, Lovers formula versus Love formula, are just manufacturer specific names for what is essentially the same product (or at least a product meant to get the same result.) Sometimes people wonder, what's the difference between Uncrossing and Van Van ? What's the difference between Road Opener and Blockbuster ? First things first: Road Opener, aka Abre Camino, is not a traditional hoodoo formula, it's a Latin American loaner that has come in relatively recently along with a lot of Santeria and Brujeria practices. This is why it seems to cover the same ground that several other old hoodoo mixtures do. Blockbuster might also be in this same boat, though my evidence on this is less sure -- nonetheless it does seem to be a newer formula, in relative terms ( the word "blockbuster" is only datable to around 1940 ) and often sold with an alternate Spanish name "Arrasa con T...
