Binding spells prevent others from doing harm against us. As with any sort of magic aimed at another, consult your guides and divinatory oracle before casting. You will need a poppet to represent the person, a black candle, a large piece of paper, a black cord, and equal parts of thyme, dragon's blood, garlic, basil, and bay leaf. In your ritual space, stuff the poppet with the herbs. (Alternatively, you could also use a photograph to represent the person.) Place the image on the paper and drip a circle of wax around it for protection. Begin wrapping the cord around the image or poppet as you say:

Your words (actions) are harsh,
Your words (actions) are dense,
I bind you now in my defense.
Your words (actions) bring harm
That you cannot see. I bind your harmful words
(actions) from thee.
There is no other choice. There is no other hope.
I bind you (name) with this rope.
So mote it be.

Keep the image or poppet in a dark place until the harm has ended. Bury in the earth to release the energy.
