Banishing an Unwanted Admirer

Needed:

  • Firewood or coal
  • Vervain leaves

Consecrate the wood or coal before lighting the fire.

When it is burning fiercely, throw the vervain on to the flames, calling out the name of the person you want out of your life as loudly and with as much passion as you can muster. Follow the name with these words, which should also be said with passion:
"I need you not.
I want you not.
Leave my life now
And come back never.
And it harm none, so be it."

Spend a minute or two visualizing the person's face in the fire's smoke and watch it waft away from you.
