Binding of Loose Tongues

Binding of Loose Tongues

Purpose: To silence gossip, lies, or interference from others.

Ingredients:

    •    Black thread

    •    A small slip of paper

    •    A black candle

    •    Clove or bay leaf (optional)

Ritual:

Write the name or general symbol (e.g. “all false tongues”) on the slip. Wrap it tightly in the black thread. Say:

“By thread and flame, I bind untrue,

No more harm shall pass on through.

Words return to source and stay—

My name is shielded night and day.”

Burn the paper and thread carefully (or bury if fire is not an option). Place clove or bay leaf on your altar for continued protection.
