5. Pen with silver or white ink
6. Black salt or sea salt
7. Protective herbs (e.g., sage, rosemary)

Spellcasting Steps:

1. Prepare the Sacred Space: Begin by creating a sacred space for the ritual. Clear the area of any disturbances and set the ambiance with calming music or the scent of protective herbs. Allow the energy to settle, creating a serene atmosphere for the banishing spell.

2. Engrave the Candle: Take the black candle and, using an engraving tool or a small knife, carve symbols or words that represent banishment, such as runes for release (ᛏ) or personal symbols that hold meaning for letting go.

3. Set Your Intent: On the piece of paper, write down what you wish to banish from your life. Be specific about the negativity or obstacles you want to release. Visualize the desired outcome as you pour your intentions into the written words.

4. Charge the Obsidian/Black Tourmaline: Hold the obsidian or black tourmaline crystal in your hands and focus on imbuing it with protective and banishing energies. Envision the crystal absorbing the unwanted energies, turning them into a dark, protective shield.

5. Begin the Candle Ritual: Light the black candle, allowing its flame to flicker and dance. As the flame steadies, visualize it as a beacon drawing in the energies that need to be banished. Feel the protective embrace of the shadows surrounding you.

6. Affirmation and Incantation: Repeat a banishing affirmation or incantation that resonates with your intention. Speak with authority and conviction, commanding the energies to leave. Feel the power of your words echoing through the shadows.

7. Place the Obsidian/Black Tourmaline: Gently place the charged obsidian or black tourmaline near the candle, allowing the crystal to act as a guardian and amplifier of the banishing energies. Visualize a dark, protective aura emanating from the crystal.

8. Seal Your Intent: Take the piece of paper with your written intention and burn it using the flame of the black candle. Safely extinguish the flame and let the ashes fall onto a surface.

9. Sprinkle Black Salt: Sprinkle black salt or sea salt over the ashes, symbolizing the absorption and neutralization of negative energies. Envision the salt forming a protective barrier against unwanted influences.

10. Closing and Gratitude: Express gratitude to the universe, the elements, and the shadows for their transformative power. Blow out the candle, sealing the spell with the intention that what no longer serves your highest good is now banished.
