Hey there witches, a while back I had a “friend”. She had just started her witch practices, I am not sure which oath she took, but I am pretty sure before she started she asked me if she could practice her spells on me. I was naive at the time and I think I said yes. Now, I have come to realize that she is a witch who uses her power for selfish and manipulative reasons and I believe she is using her spells to manipulate me. I know that it will come back to her but I don’t want to feel under this any more. Does anybody have any tips/ spells/ rituals/ cleanses anything that I could do that would help me break this? Thanks Nina ---

@nina, I personally would do a return to sender spell. ---

Yes, a [Return to Sender](https://spells8.com/return-to-sender-spell/) spell is a good idea. You can also use a mirror for a “bounce-back” spell. For example: 1. Prepare some [Moon Water](https://spells8.com/moon-water/) tonight (there’s a waning moon which helps). 2. Tomorrow use the water to cleanse the mirror. 3. Light a black candle and use the mirror to reflect the candle flame. 4. Meditate to ground yourself. Say: > “Moonlight, cleanse this mirror of all negativity. > Empower it to reflect back to the source, any and all negative energy. > Charge this mirror to return any harmful spell to its sender, times three. > Blessed Be” 1. Snuff out the candle and place your charged mirror facing the direction where you feel the negativity coming from. e.g. a window. Leave it to work and see how it feels. Good Luck and Many Blessings to You! 🙏 ---

I’m with @Katt and @Francisco about the Return to Sender Spell- this is a good way to both protect yourself and send a “don’t mess with me” message to this ‘friend’. If the idea of retribution magick doesn’t sit well with you, I also suggest surrounding yourself with protective objects. You may want to take a look at this discussion on making [Protection Bottles](https://forum.spells8.com/t/witch-bottles-for-protection/1065), and @SilverBear shared a beautiful and easy [Protection Meditation](https://forum.spells8.com/t/protection-prayer-and-meditation/2729) 🧘‍♀️ Here are some [Crystals for Protection](https://forum.spells8.com/t/crystals-for-protection/2433) 💎, and for herbs both [Cloves](https://spells8.com/lessons/cloves-uses-protection/) and [Aloe Vera](https://spells8.com/lessons/aloe-vera-green-magic/) have protective properties. Best of luck to you, @nina and stay safe! 🙏 ---

also feng shui mirrors like the bag wa mirrors are also good. Maybe wear an evil eye too.
