Banish the Evil Eye: A Waning Moon Ritual

Tools & Ingredients:

• One Black Crescent Moon Candle
• Black Salt
• A small piece of Black Tourmaline
• A small piece of paper and a pen
• A heatproof dish or cauldron
• Sage or Palo Santo for cleansing (optional but recommended)

The Ritual:

1. Prepare Your Sacred Space: Begin by cleansing your space with the smoke of sage or Palo Santo. As you do, visualize the smoke clearing away any stagnant or negative energy. Set up your altar or ritual space, placing your black crescent moon candle in the center. Light the candle, and as the flame catches, state your intention aloud: "I call upon the power of the waning moon and this sacred flame to banish all harm and the evil eye from my life."

2. Focus Your Intention: Hold the piece of black tourmaline in your dominant hand. Close your eyes and visualize the evil eye as a dark, negative cord or a shadowy presence attached to you. See it draining your energy, creating obstacles, or causing misfortune. Now, visualize the black tourmaline acting as a sponge, drawing all that negative energy, including the evil eye, into itself. Feel the weight of that energy transfer from you to the stone. When you feel ready, place the tourmaline in the basin of your crescent moon candle.

3. Write Your Banishing: On the small piece of paper, write down the words "Evil Eye" or a more personal description of the negativity you feel has been cast upon you. You can also write down specific situations or feelings you wish to release. As you write, focus on the act of letting go. Fold the paper away from you, signifying its departure.

4. The Transmutation: Now, take a pinch of black salt and hold it over the flame of your candle. As you do, state your powerful intention to transmute the negativity. Say the following or something similar:

"By the light of this flame, and the power of this sacred salt, I command all evil cast upon me to be dissolved. I transmute all negativity, all harm, and all envy into vibrant health, abundant wealth, and boundless happiness. As this evil leaves me, so too does new life and prosperity enter. All harm is undone, and all blessings are made manifest."

5. Release and Seal: Carefully place the folded paper into the bowl-like cutout of your black crescent moon candle, directly on top of the black tourmaline. Slowly pour the black salt into the basin, completely covering the paper and the stone. As the flame burns down and melts the wax, it will fully encase the salt, the paper, and the stone, sealing your banishing and transmutation.

6. Close the Ritual: Allow the candle to burn down completely and extinguish on its own. Do not blow it out, as this can break the magical seal. Once the candle has fully cooled, you can bury the remains in the earth, returning the transmuted energy to the ground, or keep the solidified wax as a protective charm on your altar.

Your banishing is complete. Trust that the universe is now working to turn any past harm into future blessings.
