📜 Course Description

Binding and banishing are among the most powerful and transformative arts within modern witchcraft and magickal practice. They offer us the means to create boundaries, halt harmful influences, cleanse stagnant energies, and restore balance where disruption has taken root.

In this course, students will explore the theory, ethics, and practice of energetic restriction and release. Drawing from traditional witchcraft, contemporary magick, folkloric methods, and intuitive energy work, learners will discover how to perform binding and banishing with clarity, confidence, and deep responsibility.

From cord-binding and knot magick to symbolic containment, from freezer spell jars to ritual purification and energetic release, the course provides a grounded yet mystical exploration of both protective and transformative practices. With a strong emphasis on intention, ethics, and psychological awareness, students will learn how to create magick that not only works — but works in harmony with their own values and personal path.

✨ By the end of the course, students will:

• Understand the purpose, history, and energetic mechanics of both binding and banishing.

• Learn how intention shapes magickal outcome and how to work with energy responsibly.

• Develop safe, effective methods for basic and advanced binding rituals, including cord magick and freezer spell jars.

• Practise foundational and advanced banishing techniques to cleanse, release, and rebalance energy.

• Learn how to prepare, consecrate, and work with tools, materials, and sacred space.

• Design personalised binding and banishing rituals based on need, ethics, and energetic flow.

• Integrate restriction and release into a regular spiritual practice with confidence and awareness.
