Binding

[Maeve Ravensway]

Here's a little story, a true one. Many, many years ago I worked in a predominantly male environment, satisfactorily for many years. Now when I say predominantly, it was a male field, with about 600 employees, and I would guess probably 30 were women at most, scattered about, in mostly clerical positions, a few token ones in the trades. Well after many years I got into a situation where I was majorly, majorly sexually harrassed by my boss. I felt, now whether this was true or not, but it was how I felt, I could not file charges, that I would not stand a chance in this blue collar business of 600 men against one of their favorite bosses. Perhaps you all would not understand why I felt that way, but those were different times. I felt the only thing I could do was get out.
At the time I was a noviate and student of Wicca, and my teacher & HPPs took it upon herself to do a binding on this man until I could get out of the place. It was very strong spellwork. While she did that on him I worked on getting a new job.
As a result of her bindings he literally could not step into my office. He would get to my door and stop, he could not come in. Now she warned me that he had very strong energy and she had to keep repeating the bindings, that I had to get out as soon as possible, and that on certain levels he knew something was being done against his will. Sure enough, he would get very angry at me. He would come to my office door, could not enter, not consciously know why, but subsconsciouly knew he was being prevented, and get very nasty and angry at me. However, I was free from the sexual advances, I did get another job and was freed from this.
My HPPs knew exactly what she was doing, and any ramifications or rebounds that could happen. Personally I believe in doing spells for protection, but desparate times call for desparate measures. I don't regret for a moment having a binding put on this man.

What a dork I am -- I was not trying to post my own subject I was trying to reply to another one.

thank you for your input.

It seems that things may be getting worse in the situation, and as of now, all I have asked for is to find additional strength from within for this person, which has been given by myself freely for a few months now. However, new things have been noticed, such as a crystal was found behind the bed, a couple spent red candles, and books being found open to the How to keep a Significant other, how to win someone over, how to make someone love you, and marital bindings... These people aren't married, and are completely destructive to each other. Each time my friend tries to leave, something happens to prevent this from happening.

At this point in time, I am seriously still considering binding. If done for the health and sanity of another person, not out of selfishness at all, how bad can the Karma be? Also what circumstances would make you bind another person? Has anyone successfully completed a partial binding (binding only the ability to do a certain thing)?

Basically, all I wish to come of this is for my friend to be able to make their own decision either way, without the stress/assistance/nudging of another person/force.

The person in question, is not of the mind to be able to do this for themself at this point in time. There are many problems associated with the person right now brought on by the other party.

Hi again

Have you thought of "Putting them in the Freezer" -- it's not the same as a binding, exactly. The object is Not to freeze up the persons Will, it's to make it so they can't find you (or their target). By putting 'them' in the freezer it creates little ice crystals the are like a web or maze they have to get through. Now one has to do their part too, you have to do what you need to do to not be involved with this person. If you want to know more about this write me directly, if you wish.

If a person is really targeting you, you have to keep reinforcing the protection around you (or in this case, the person close to you), why not just make it that they can't find you and do your normal protections. Now one has to do their part too, you have to do what you need to do to not be involved with this person.

The only real binding I have had experience with is the one I previously wrote about, which I didn't do but was done for me, so I don't know what she actually did.

My former sister in law was a lovely woman who fell madly, passionately in love with a disgusting, gross man that looked like Jabba the Hut. Plus, he was married. No one could figure out what the heck was wrong with Nella, why in heaven's name did she want this guy. He was all she thought about. After about a year, her desire quite suddenly left. She said she didn't know what had happened to her, or why she had desired that man. Later it was discovered this man was a Santeria Priest and he had ensorceled her -- we don't know what broke the spell, if he just got bored with her or if her own Will finally came through... but these things can seriously happen, I know because I saw it.

Actually, it sounds like you should *break* the binding, not try to bind someone else.

I can't remember this spell exactly but you've probably read a similar one someplace else; I'm making up this version. You take two candles or two poppets or whatever, one to represent your friend and one for her "lover". Tie them together with red string (this represents the bond they already have) and put them close together; probably do this on the full moon or one day after. Every night, move them a little further away from each other (if you're using candles, burn them for awhile, less time every night). On the night before the dark moon, they should be as far apart as the string will let them be, and on the dark moon, cut the string. Keep the poppet/candle for your friend, and bury the poppet/burn the candle for this other person. She should be able to leave, if she hasn't gone already.

You probably don't have to be exact about the moon phases; I just work with it so I weave it into my spellwork. You could probably do this in a week if you needed to do it fast.

I agree, there are times to remove and times to leave behind.

I focus green energy on them, filling it with leaves of green and pink and red, and focus the work "Grow". I send the energy into the Universe, and ask that that person be allowed to grow beyond their need for me. To release me, and let me go.

It's worked everytime. :)

I'm glad things worked out. That is the important part. Remember, if you think there's something not right afoot, take three leaves of sage, and burn them in a little dish of sand. Dependant on how long the leaves burn, it's how dirty the energy is. If they won't stay lit, the energy is clean, and you shouldn't be worried. If they burn and burn and burn, smudge the house. It's a good percausionary measure, and keeps the energy the best it can be. :) I also burn dragonsblood too. :) Smells good and it helps.
