Gak. This is tricky business you're leaping into. Be careful that you're not letting your imagination get carried away--we're all guilty of this, myself included.
First of all, you really need to define what "evil spirits" are, and whether or not it's not just a case of lots of negative and HUMAN produced energy. Even spirits that may or may not actually be "out to get you" can seem pretty scary. Secondly, you need to decide if something simple could take care of the problem. Truthfully, you could get some sage from the spice cabinet and mix it with a little salt and sprinkle it through the house, in the corners and along the windows and doors and such, and let it sit for a bit--three days, maybe?--and then sweep it, and the negativity, outside. Then you could light a candle and ask for the God/dess to protect you. That would probably solve your problems, right there.

You also need to ask yourself whether or not you are knowledgable enough and strong enough in your faith to be able to even attempt such a thing. To put it into perspective, you may also ask, "How do you get rid of an armed robber?" Confrontation and battle are not options in this case for 95% of the population. If indeed you might have a problem with an evil spirit, you may concider having someone else help or deal with it.

tell it to go away.


I'm not being a brat it works well for me anyway. Though I've only had to deal with it once before.

Well-put, DarkSidhe.

tell it to go away.

If it goes away that easily, it was likely not an evil spirit, just a scary one. :) Or else it only made you think it left.

[MoonDust]

could be. as long as it's not bothering/hurting me or anyone,then I'm fine.

or else it actually did go away, you know, seeing as moondust was the only one there and he/she seems to think it did go away. darksidhe has a point though summoner, some things require faith born from experience.

I do nto see you as bratty at all. That is exactly what I do with a spirit I am uncomfortable with. I will not say evil, because it does nto have to be evil for me to be uncomfortable. My home my rules.

I am not sure if it is strength from experience or faith in yourself and conviction that you can do it. I think that the success of a lot of spiritual things depends on your faith in yourself. Of course, I may be saying the exact same things as you but using a different word.

I used to be terrified of spirits. Now I have plenty that I am comfortable with and I tell the ones that I am nto comfortable with to leave my dwelling. I have not had a serious problem with this since I got out of high school and out of my parents home.

It's a little of both. If it's a spirit that is curious, or just passing through, or up to some random mischief, then telling it to go away will most likely work. They'll get the idea that they are not welcome. You don't need any fancy rituals or the knowhow to bring up protective barriers or know the LBR by heart to deal with that.

But on the other hand, if you recently aquired a nasty fetish (not latex, ahem), or moved into a place haunted by a murderer, or some idiot decided it might be fun to sick a demon on you; then telling it to go away might just incite it further.

To put it again in mundane terms, walking to your car in a dark parking lot and two mean looking kids start taunting you; you could stand there with courage and conviction and tell them to back off. They might just be kids bored with nothing else to do. They might also be gang members who have knives in there pockets...some times it's worth it to know gang symbols, etc before barking back, or a bigger knife in your pocket. Sometimes you just have to call 911 from your cell phone.
Circumstances of any encounter, mundane or magical, dictate the solution.

This may sound kind of rough but I have a different veiw on Magick, but first I communicate with the spirit to find its in tentions, you know ask it why its here, I can usally sence if the energies from it are negative, if they are I ask it to leave, if it dosen't I draw in energy from elemental nodes and what not and make it leave, I know I am abit forceful in that respect, My other option is to do a banishing ritual, but in a pinch I find if I just gather more energy then the spirit can handle, it usally gose away.

Get a snake... Not a killer snake. ANY snake will do. Tell him/her that they are important and you need them to do a job for you. Leave it a gift daily.

[fireswimmer]

Why a snake? That is one that I am unfalmiliar with.

Interesting perspective. I can definitely see your point of view. I have never heard it explained this way before. I approach mundane things much the same way as magical things. Number one I pay attention. This means that I trust what I sense in both spirits and people. Number two I put enough energy and work in myself to not look like a good target for either one. Number three I use a combination of paying attention and avoidance. I do this mundanely by paying attention to where I am and acting in the safest ways for me to act. I am not afraid to walk through a city the size of Buffalo at night but I will cross a street if I am nto comfortable to avoid someone. I also do not step foot out the door if the night does not feel comfortable. In my home I have guardians that I love. Some are the four elementals that have been with me forever. Two are much more uh shall we say demonic. They work with me just fine. I do not make a nice juicy target. Last but not least I hold in reserve the more potent stuff. I believe I have enough talent to make my point with the magical side of life. With the mundane things I do nto think that my hand to hand is any good against a gun... but then again not much is, but when I was driving I carried keys appropriately and that type of thing.

I really like the way that you said it. I love the combination of magic and mundane. I do not believe there is a great deal of separation between the two. For me they swirl together.

in many sects, evil Spirits are afraid of snakes... and will not come around.

Interesting. I have heard that of cats, but not of snakes ... I guess you learn something new everyday :)

There is also the old three feathers trick.

[fireswimmer]

Thank you. I had not heard of the fear of snakes. Hmmm.... I wonder if I will ever convince my husband that he would really get along with a snake. He did not like snakes before he got bit but once he got bit by a ball python he REALLY dislikes them!
