How to Bind Toxic People: A Simple Spell for Protection

Did you know that over 60% of people report that toxic relationships negatively affect their mental health? If you’re one of them, it’s time to take control of your energy and protect your well-being. In this post, we’ll explore a simple yet powerful binding spell that helps you create spiritual boundaries and stop harmful behaviour in its tracks. Whether it's gossip, manipulation, or other toxic actions, this spell is a practical way to reclaim your peace and power. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Toxic Behaviour and Its Impact

Toxic behaviour can manifest in various ways: manipulation, disrespect, gaslighting, or even social sabotage like gossip and online harassment. Such actions can severely impact your mental health, leading to anxiety, self-doubt, shame, and sleepless nights. You’ll know it’s toxic because it makes your life a living hell if you don't address it.

While setting boundaries in the physical world is essential, sometimes that may not be enough, especially when dealing with individuals who are narcissistic or indifferent. This is where spiritual and energetic boundaries, like a binding spell, come into play. Binding someone isn't about harming them; it’s a protective act that stops their harmful behaviour toward you.

What You’ll Need for the Binding Spell

The beauty of this spell lies in its simplicity and accessibility. You don’t need elaborate tools or years of experience to perform it. Gather the following items:

• An envelope

• Red or black cotton thread

• A pen

• A piece of paper

These everyday items, combined with your focused intention, create a powerful energetic barrier against toxicity.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Binding Spell

This spell combines visualisation, intention, and physical tools to bind toxic individuals. Follow these steps:

1. Cleanse and Consecrate Your Space

Light incense and a candle to cleanse the energy in your space. You can also visualise light emanating from your heart, filling the room with protective and cleansing energy. This creates a sacred space for your spellwork.

2. Write down the Person's Name and Harmful behaviour

Using your pen and paper, write the name of the individual (or group) causing harm and the specific behaviour you want to bind. For example: “I bind [Name] from gossiping and spreading lies about me.” As you write, focus on the emotional impact their behaviour has had on you. Acknowledge feelings like anger or resentment, but stay committed to your intent.

3. Fold the Paper Away From You

Fold the paper away from your body, symbolising pushing the toxic energy away. Repeat this step multiple times to reinforce your intent.

4. Wrap the Thread and Chant

Take the red or black thread and wrap it tightly around the folded paper while reciting this chant:

"I bind you, [Name], with threads of light
That halt all harm and gossip both day and night.
No harsh words, no deeds unkind,
May peace and respect now bind.
This knot I tie with steady will
To guard my heart and keep it still."

Repeat this chant an odd number of times (e.g., three, seven, or nine) for added potency.

5. Seal and Store the Bind

Place the bound paper into an envelope, seal it, and store it in a dark, private place where no one can find or disturb it. Optionally, you can write the person’s name on the envelope or add a protective symbol, like a pentagram, for extra reinforcement.

Key Tips for Effective Binding

• Approach the spell with a mindset of protection, not control or harm.

• If the toxic individual changes tactics, perform additional bindings to cover all harmful behaviours.

• Use this magic responsibly. Sandra emphasises, “Binding is about defence and protection, not manipulation.”
