This spell is best performed on Saturday (Saturn's Day, to bind a criminal, one who intends to do harm, to bring someone to justice).
Supplies:
• a poppet made to represent the target
• a black candle
• salt water
• personal effect of the target, if available
• frankincense incense
• red ribbon
•
Light a black candle and burn frankincense incense. Sprinkle the poppet with salt water, saying:
Blessed be, thou creature made of art.
Thou art not cloth (or wax, whatever it is made out of)
But flesh and blood.
I name thee ___________ (name the person being bound)
Thou art s/he, between the worlds, in all the worlds, So be it.
Hold the poppet and begin tying it up firmly with the red ribbon, binding all parts of it that could possibly do harm. Charge it, saying:
"By air and earth, water and fire, so be you bound, as I desire."
Bury the poppet at the time of the waning moon, far from your home, under
a heavy rock beneath a tree.
