To banish means to prohibit, abolish, or eliminate. In magic, to banish something means getting it out of your life and your energy field for good. Banish a situation, condition, or relationship today by writing a simple word or phrase that represents what you want to banish on a small piece of paper. Place it on your altar. Say:

Great Goddess, as you know, it is
time for this to go. Thank you for
helping me banish it from my life,
now and in all directions of time.

Now, leaving the paper flat on your altar, spin it counterclockwise three times, feeling that you are unwinding its power over you. Next, either shred it with scissors or put it through a paper shredder. Place the shreds in a cauldron or pot and safely burn them. Bid your final farewell by releasing the ashes in a moving body of water or flushing them down the toilet. Give thanks to the Goddess and happily move on with your life.
