Eclectic Banishment Ritual

## (Optional) Offering to Hestia

Depending on your inclination it is often considered polite to give offerings to Hestia before any offerings to other Hellenistic Deities.

* Candle Specifically for her, preferably Red
* Incense of any kind

*"Blessed Lady of the Hearth*

*Keeper of the sacred flames of Olympus*

*Enter this home and make it your own*

*Enter and be welcomeBless all who enter here with peace*

*Bless all who dwell here with your protection*

*Grant me and mine your protection That we may always find our way to you."*

## Prayer to Selene

* Offering for the rite: storax, myrrh, sage, frankincense, a fruit pit, one item or any combination will be fine.
* White Candle

Come to me, O beloved mistress, Three-faced

Selene; kindly hear my sacred chants;

Night’s ornament, young, bringing light to mortals,

O child of morn who ride upon fierce bulls,

O queen who drive your car on equal course

With Helios, who with the triple forms

Of triple Graces dance in revel with

The stars. You’re Justice and the Moira’s threads:

Klotho and Lachesis and Atropos

Three-headed, you’re Persephone, Megaira,

Allekto, many-formed, who arm your hands

With dreaded, murky lamps, who shake your locks

Of fearful serpents on your brow, who sound

The roar of bulls out from your mouths, whose womb

Is decked out with the scales of creeping things,

With pois’nous rows of serpents down the back,

Bound down your backs with horrifying chains

Night-Crier, bull-faced, loving solitude,

Bull-headed, you have eyes of bulls, the voice

Of dogs; you hide your forms in shanks of lions,

Your ankle is wolf-shaped, fierce dogs are dear

To you, wherefore they call you Hekate,

Many-named, Mene, cleaving air just like

Dart-shooter Artemis, Persephone,

Shooter of deer, night shining, triple-sounding,

Triple-headed, triple-voiced Selene

Triple-pointed, triple-faced, triple-necked,

And goddess of the triple ways, who hold

Untiring flaming fire in triple baskets,

And you who oft frequent the triple way

And rule the triple decades, unto me

Who’m calling you be gracious and with kindness

Give heed, you who protect the spacious world

At night, before whom daimons quake in fear

And gods immortal tremble, goddess who

Exalt men, you of many names, who bear

Fair offspring, bull-eyed, horned, mother of gods

And men, and Nature, Mother of all things,

For you frequent Olympos, and the broad

And boundless chasm you traverse. Beginning

And end are you, and you alone rule all.

For all things are from you, and in you do

All things, Eternal one, come to their end.

As everlasting band around your temples

You wear great Kronos’ chains, unbreakable

And unremovable, and you hold in

Your hands a golden scepter. Letters ‘round

Your scepter Kronos wrote himself and gave

To you to wear that all things stay steadfast:

Subduer and subdued, mankind’s subduer,

And force-subduer; Chaos, too, you rule.

ARARACHARARA ÊPHTHISIKÊRE.

Hail, goddess, and attend your epithets,

I burn for you this spice, O child of Zeus,

Dart-shooter, heav’nly one, goddess of harbors,

Who roam the mountains, goddess of crossroads,

O nether and nocturnal, and infernal,

Goddess of dark, quiet and frightful one,

O you who have your meal amid the graves,

Night, Darkness, broad Chaos: Necessity

Hard to escape are you; you’re Moira and

Erinys, torment, Justice and Destroyer,

And you keep Kerberos in chains, with scales

Of serpents are you dark, O you with hair

Of serpents, serpent-girded, who drink blood,

Who bring death and destruction, and who feast

On hearts, flesh eater, who devour those dead

Untimely, and you who make grief resound

And spread madness, come to my sacrifices,

And now for me do you fulfill this matter.

allow the smoke to travel and settle in every room, be wary of setting off fire alarms.

## Lock Mirrors

* Charcoal
* Salt (Preferably Sea Salt)
* Moon Water (Any Phase, should be prepared before ritual)
* Herb mixture from smoke banishing

After smoke cleansing the rooms it will be a good idea to lock mirror and other reflective surfaces you feel may be allowing things thought.

Crush Charcoal and mix charcoal power into your salt, complete process until salt is black.

After it is black, mix in whats left of the Herb Mixture from earlier after it has cooled and has no embers.

Add herb-salt to moon water and draw protective symbols, these symbols can be a Pentacle, The Algiz Rune, Ankh, a Bident of Hades or another symbol of a God, whatever protective symbol most resonates with you, each time you draw on a surface simply say

*"This way is locked, I force you out."*
