Everybody goes through rough patches in their life, and all of us have times when we’re down on our luck. This experience is a normal part of life and often presents us with opportunities for growth. However, if a rough patch seems to be running a little too long and you really can’t seem to catch a break at all, it might be more than just coincidence. It might be the result of someone putting a hex on you.
The severity of the hex could be mild like an ordinary person sending negative energy towards you, or as severe as an individual with magical experience holding a grudge against you, and looking to do you harm intentionally. In either case, to break the negative energies hold on you, you’ll need to take action right away because the longer you let it go, the more severe the consequences will be.
What Is a Reverse Spell?
A reverse spell is what it sounds like; a spell used to reverse negative energy. The difference between a reversing spell and a breaking spell is that reversals take undoing a spell a step further. While a breaking spell serves the purpose of breaking a spell cast against you, that’s where it ends.
A reverse spell, on the other hand, takes the negative energies sent your way by someone else and bounces it back to them. Many witches prefer a reverse spell for two reasons. First of all, it tends to be safer than using a revenge spell.
When you put a hex on someone else, you put yourself at risk of having negative energy you put out into the world returned to you. By using a reverse spell, you simply return the attacker’s negative energy to them rather than creating more. It also helps you avoid the “Harm None” ethical dilemma. Reversal spells are a passive way of stopping someone from harming you without harming them yourself.
Reversal spells don’t have to be a means of defending yourself against another person’s ill intent towards you. Sometimes you might use a reversal spell to undo one of your spells that you no longer need or if you just screwed up a spell and need to fix it before it can do any harm.
How Can I Be Sure Someone Has Hexed Me?
Before you start jumping to conclusions, you need to look at what evidence you have. A bad day or even a bad week is not enough to prove that someone cursed you. We all run into a little bad luck once in a while. Sometimes Fortuna is annoyed at you and flexing her muscles. Other times it’s just a group of random events beyond your control, or it could be something you’re doing to yourself.
When you seem to be having a string of bad luck with no breaks at all, then you might have a legitimate reason to suspect that you’re the victim of a curse, but don’t let frustration get the better of logic. Pay attention; underneath your discontent, do you get a feeling in your gut that someone or something is out to get you? Be honest with yourself, and make sure it’s not just self-pity.
Be cognizant of any synchronicity in your life, a chain of unfortunate events that seem to be related may be evidence of someone hexing you. Another thing to keep in mind is how many magical people do you know? The more you know, the higher the chance that someone has performed some magic spell involving you, but if you don’t know any magical people, it’s unlikely.
Consider, if anyone has the motivation to do you harm. Also, be aware of any personal items that have gone missing. Many curses require the one performing the curse to acquire some kind of personal item from the intended target. Finally, pay attention to your magical energies. Magical energies all have unique signatures. Try scanning your body for energy cords that don’t belong or are foreign to you. Foreign energy is the most precise way to determine whether you’re hexed.
What Items Do I Need for a Reversal Spell?
While there are different reverse spells that you can use, most reverse spells require specific elements, including candles, mirrors, water, and salt. Some reversal spells also may use reversible oil or reversing vinegar. When casting a reversal spell, the color candle you use matters.
Make sure you use the correct color candle for the right type of magic getting used against you, or the spell will not have the desired effect. Reversal candles tend to be two colors black on the bottom and then another color on top. Below are the colors used in the most common types of reversal spells.
- Red – Mainly used to reverse love curses and bad luck in romantic relationships
- Green – Used to reverse hexes dealing with money and business troubles
- White – Used to reverse curses that are damaging health and well- being
Different spells may also require you to burn incense or use sacred smudging. Favored scents include sandalwood, sage, and basil. You can also purchase reversal spell kits online that include incense, candles, reversing oil, and other necessities.
What Are Some Common Reversal Spells?
Reversal spells generally fall into two main categories candle magic and magic mirror spells. Some spells combine both elements into one spell. Candle magic first burns away negativity and then sets to work on your enemy’s spell. Magic Mirror Spells use the reflective power of the mirror to send the spell back to the caster. Both types of spells can reverse magic successfully.
Common Candle Magic Reversals
There are many different candle reversals you can perform. Some are more complex than others, depending on the severity of the spell and how skilled the caster was. Start with a basic spell first as that may be all you need before trying something more complex. Wait a few days to see if you notice a difference, if not move on to something more powerful.
The Broken Candle Spell
One common spell that makes use of simple candle magic involves casting a circle and placing the candle in a bowl or other container that is roughly the same height as the candle. Fill the bowl with water until it reaches between an inch and 1/2 inch from the tip of the candle.
Carefully sprinkle salt into the water around the candle. Then light the candle and let it burn as you imagine positive energies rising from the water and building up to charge your circle. Don’t blow the candle out, let it burn out of its own accord until it reaches the water level and burns out.
Then take the candle out of the water, hold it horizontally with two hands, and snap it in half or preferably even smaller pieces. As you break the candle, visualize a burst of energy from the circle, destroying the spell’s effects. If you’re inside, close your circle and bring the bowl and candle outside.
Bury the candle pieces along with any wax that dripped into the water. Pour the water out in a circle around where you bury the candle. If you’re performing the spell outside, you will do the same thing, but you’ll do it right in your circle before you close your circle.
Using A Reversal Candle with Reversible Oil
As explained above, different colors of reversal candles should be used depending on how the hex has been doing you harm. Select the candle color that is most appropriate for your current troubles. Using a knife or other sharp objects like a nail or ice pick make an odd number of small holes in the top of the candle.
Carve your name into the colored portion of the candle and the words “I return your spell to you” on the black part. If the candle is in a glass container, you can also write these on the glass, or you can write it on a small piece of paper and place it under the candle. Pour some reversible oil into the holes you made at the top of the candle and light the candle. Let it burn out on its own.
Using a Reversing Hoo Doo Candle to Reverse Your Spells
You could use a Hoo Doo reversing candle to reverse your spells unless you used fire for the original spell, in which case it will only make the spell stronger, and you’ll need to use a different method. Assuming you didn’t use fire, reversing your spell is reasonably straight forward. First, light the Hoo Doo candle then burn the remnants of the original spell. Let the candle down completely.
Full Black Candle Reversal Spell
The black candle reversal spell doesn’t require you to have a specific color candle for a particular type of hex. Instead, the black candle represents your enemy rather than the specific hex put on you. To perform this spell, begin by purifying yourself with smudging or bathing. Next, cut the top off a black candle and turn it upside-down. On the bottom, carve out a new candlewick.
Using an iron nail, carve your enemy’s name backward in the candle. Then dress the candle by anointing it with reversing oil. Anoint the candle with a motion that pushes the oil down the candle and away from you. Write the name of the person who cursed you on a piece of paper.
Using your finger, make a cross with the reversing oil on the piece of paper and place it face down under the candle holder that’s holding your candle. Light the candle and request that the harmful energies/spells return to the person who sent them to you. When the spell is complete, gather the remains of your spell and leave them at a crossroads.
Common Magic Mirror Spells
As with magic candle reversals there are a variety of magic mirror reversal spells you can use as well, and they have different levels of complexity. However, it is imperative to note that if you are reversing your spell, don’t use a magic mirror spell!
Remember, magic mirror spells work on the principle of reflecting negative energy to the sender. You don’t want to send negative energy back to yourself, or your problems are going to be a lot worse.
Classic Magic Mirror Reversal Spell
To perform the traditional magic mirror reversal spell begin by cleansing your space by casting a magic circle. Once you’ve purified your area, cleanse yourself with smudging. A combination of basil and sage is an excellent basic smudge, and both ingredients are easy and inexpensive to acquire. If you’d prefer, you could cleanse yourself with a ritual bath making sure to immerse your whole head in the bathwater.
Get a mirror that can fit in your window and that you won’t need for a while so the spell can run its course. Smudge the mirror with sage or incense; sandalwood incense is an excellent choice. By smudging the mirror, you clear away any other energies that may be attached to it. Put the mirror in a window by your bed and face it outward.
Light a black candle and pray in front of the mirror. Command the mirror to relay the negative energy that has been targeting you back to its origin. Once you give the mirror, its orders focus on the mirror as an object of meditation to charge it with your energy. Breathe deeply, and as you exhale, visualize energy blowing over the mirror. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes for a full charge.
After you have done, this let the candle burn out on its own. Don’t close your magic circle because you’ll want the spell to keep working after the ceremony. Keep the mirror up as long as needed. If you need to keep it up for a prolonged period, simply recharge it every new moon. When it’s no longer needed, bury the mirror on the next full moon or smudge it for three days with sage.
Magic Mirror Reversal Method Two
The second magic mirror reversal method requires a few more items because you will be setting up a perimeter around your house. This spell is still reasonably easy to perform, but a little more potent. Start by sprinkling magic powder around the foundation of your home to repel negative energy.
Then burn a reverse Hoo Doo candle or another reversal candle in the heart of your home to get rid of negative energies. Gather enough small mirrors for each window in your home and wash them with water mixed with agrimony and sea salt. Anoint the back of each mirror with reversing oil and place them in your windows with the reflective side facing the outside.
Reflect Away Harm Spell
This third spell still harnesses the reflective power or mirrors but, instead of facing mirrors outward from your home, you set two mirrors facing each other. This spell is most effective when performed at midnight.
To begin, light some sandalwood incense and let the smoke build up around your altar for purification. Next, carve an X into a black candle. Now set up your two mirrors. It’s helpful if the mirrors have stands so that you don’t need to prop them up with something to make them face each other. Once you set the mirrors up, put the candle between the two mirrors and light it.
Let your eyes focus back and forth between the candle’s reflection between both mirrors. While your eyes are focusing between the two mirrors, think about the negative energy you are trying to reverse. Try to see the curse getting trapped between the reflections and being slingshot back to the sender. Let the candle burn down on its own and leave the mirrors in position for a month.
Are There Any Other Types of Reverse Spells?
While the candle and magic mirror methods are the two most practiced methods of reversing spells, there are other methods of reversal. One of these methods involves steeping and using reversing vinegar. If you’re trying to reverse one of your spells, there are also alternatives, such as redirecting the spell or counter casting.
Reversing Vinegar Method
The vinegar method requires a little preparation the night before you intend to do the spell. Mix two to four tablespoons of white vinegar with and two to four pinches of fennel seed in a small white bowl. Leave it to steep for 24 hours. After you have let the vinegar steep, for the designated amount of time, it is ready to be used.
Dab a little vinegar on both wrists, your throat, and your forehead. Sit down in a comfortable position and close your eyes. On each point on your body where you put the vinegar visualize positive energy pushing out from your body. Picture the positive energy forcing the negative energy that has been directed at you back to its source and away from you.
Once you have done this successfully, place a piece of onyx or jet in the bowl with the remaining vinegar and leave it for five days undisturbed. After the fifth day, pour the vinegar mix into the ground. The difference with this method is that it requires you to exert a certain amount of your own will. The other techniques described, rely on the power of any candles or mirrors.
Counter Casting
Counter Casting is one of the hardest types of reverse spells because it is very meticulous. Counter casting requires you to keep very detailed notes of every spell you cast. When casting a spell, make sure you take note of essential elements such as
- Words or incantations used
- Herbs used
- Tools used
- Moon phase and time in which you performed the spell
- Meditations
Keeping all these elements in mind makes it easier to gather materials that have the opposite effects if a counter casting spell is necessary.
If you used an incantation to produce one effect, make another mantra to bring about the opposite effect.Likewise, if you mediated to focus your energy and will in one direction, you’ll need a new meditation that focuses your energy in the opposite direction. Construct a new ritual with the contrasting elements and powers or, ideally, work your original spell in reverse with the other features.
Redirecting Spells
If you didn’t take detailed notes or you don’t have the necessary supplies you need, the best way to reverse a spell is through redirecting it. Redirecting involves several steps. First, you’ll need to get a taglock, such as a lock of hair, a nail clipping, or some personal item and incorporate it into a poppet or visual representation of your original target.
Make a magic circle and create the poppet during a naming ritual so it can become the substitute for the original target. Imagine the person in your mind who your poppet is supposed to represent. Once you perform the ceremony, the poppet becomes the new target of your spell.
Close your magic circle and put the poppet in a box, somewhere it can’t be disturbed for one moon cycle. At the end of the moon cycle, destroy the poppet either by burning, breaking, or burying it somewhere that people won’t be able to find.
What’s The Final Word On Reversing Spells?
Reversal spells are the best and safest way to get rid of negative energy in your life. The same goes if you cast a spell you need to reverse. Everyone makes mistakes whether you were angry and acted rashly, or you accidentally messed up a spell and need to stop it before it can cause damage.
The critical thing to do is to remain calm and act quickly. If all else fails and you find you’re in over your head, find a professional. They will be able to schedule you for a healing session and get rid of your bad energy so you can move on with your life in peace.
