Spell of Influence: “The Name Beneath My Step”
Use this spell when you feel wronged by someone and wish to symbolically take power over the situation. This spell focuses on grounding your intention and placing emotional distance between you and the person.
You will need:
- A piece of plain paper
- A pen or pencil
- A black or red candle (optional)
- A pair of shoes you wear often
Instructions:
- Write the Name
On the paper, clearly write the full name of the person you wish to banish from your influence, or take power over. As you write it, focus your intent—see them losing their control or impact over you. - Fold with Purpose
Fold the paper three times, each time saying:
“By word and will, your power shrinks.
My step is firm, my path distinct.”
- Place it in Your Shoe
Slide the folded name under the insole of your shoe, or tape it to the sole of your foot (if done barefoot during ritual work). As you do, say:
“I walk above, you stay below.
You lose your grip, and I now grow.
With every step, I claim control—
Your shadow fades, I keep my soul.”
- (Optional) Candle Seal
Light the candle, stare into the flame, and say:
“As wax melts and flame burns bright,
I step into strength, I reclaim my right.”
- Walk With Intention
Wear the shoe for at least a day. Let each step affirm your independence, protection, or empowerment. Dispose of the paper by burning it safely or burying it far from your home when you feel the spell has served its purpose.
