Spell to Get Rid of Someone: Banishing, Protection and Cord Cutting Done Safely
12 min read
Part of our complete guide: Love Spells That Work: A Complete Guide to Real, Powerful Love Magic
When someone keeps hurting you, whether it is an ex who won't stop calling, a manipulative friend, a toxic relative or a person who seems set on causing trouble, it is natural to look for a spell to get rid of someone. You want peace. You want them out of your head, your home and your future. Banishing is one of the oldest forms of protective magic, and it can be a real source of strength when it is done in the right spirit.
This guide explains how banishing is traditionally done, including the freezer spell, black candle protection and cord cutting, as well as protection and healing work for people you love. It also covers the practical safety steps that should always come first. Loe practises banishing as protection, not revenge, and the difference matters. For the wider context of his love work, see his guide to love spells that work.
Is someone draining your peace, and you just want them out of your life for good?
- An ex, relative, colleague or former friend keeps reappearing and unsettling you.
- You have set boundaries, but you still feel their pull or their influence around you.
- You want protection for yourself, or for someone you love, without wishing harm on anyone.
Loe will look at the situation with you, help you think through the practical steps first, and then cast powerful protective work that closes the door firmly and cleanly.
What a Spell to Get Rid of Someone Actually Does
In ethical practice, a spell to get rid of a person is about distance, not damage. The aim is to remove their influence from your life: to stop the contact, the drama and the emotional hooks, and to let both of you move on separately. It asks that they go their own way, not that anything bad happens to them.
Banishing has deep roots. Across many traditions, people have used salt, smoke, running water and spoken words to send unwanted influences away from a home or a person. In Loe's practice, which spans traditional healing, witchcraft spells and voodoo protection rituals, it sits beside cleansing and protection rather than beside cursing.
That framing is not just about ethics. Work that wishes someone harm tends to keep you focused on them, which is the opposite of what you want. Spells to banish someone work best when their message is simple: you are no longer welcome here, and I am free of you.
Practical Safety Steps Come First
Before any candle is lit, take the practical steps that make you safer. Block the person on your phone and social media. Change passwords and check location sharing on your devices. Tell trusted friends or family what is happening, and keep a record of messages, calls and incidents with dates.
If someone is harassing, stalking or threatening you, speak to the police or a legal adviser about options such as a protection order or restraining order, which exist in many countries. Domestic abuse organisations can help with safety planning. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services straight away.
Spiritual work can strengthen your resolve, calm your nervous system and help you let go, but it is not a substitute for professional advice or legal protection. Loe will always encourage you to take these steps alongside anything he does.
The Freezer Spell as a Folk Practice of Protection
The freezer spell is a well-known folk practice. Traditionally, a person writes a name or situation on a slip of paper, places it in a container of water and puts it in the freezer. The idea is to 'freeze' something, halting its movement. You will also see it called a binding freezer spell, since it restrains rather than punishes.
The way Loe frames it matters. He does not see it as freezing a person or wishing them ill. It is a symbolic way of saying 'stop harming me'. Many practitioners write the behaviour rather than the name, such as 'the lies spread about me' or 'the harassing messages', which keeps the focus on the harm, not the human.
A 'freezer love spell' is also searched for, usually in the hope of freezing a rival's influence on a relationship. Loe reframes that request as protection for your bond, not a working against someone else. If you are unsure whether someone has done work against you, his guide to black magic and curse removal explains the signs.
Black Candle Protection and Banishing Candle Spells
Black candles are often misunderstood. In many traditions, black stands for absorbing and removing negativity, not for evil. A black candle protection spell usually involves dressing a black candle with a protective oil or salt, stating what you want removed from your life and letting it burn in a safe place while you focus on that release.
A banishing candle spell is often timed for a waning moon, when the moon is shrinking, and Saturday is a traditional day for endings and boundaries. Some people pair a black candle with a white one, releasing on one side and inviting peace on the other. For more on colours and correspondences, see Loe's guide to candle love spells.
Candle safety matters every time. Use a sturdy holder on a heatproof surface, keep flames away from fabrics, pets and children, and never leave a burning candle unattended. If you have to leave, snuff it and relight it later.
Cord Cutting to Remove Someone From Your Life
Cord cutting is one of the gentlest and most effective ways to remove someone from your life on an emotional and energetic level. The belief is that relationships create cords of attachment, and some of those keep draining us long after the relationship has ended.
A simple version uses a length of string or thread with one end representing you and the other representing the person. After cleansing yourself, you state what you are releasing, thank the lessons and cut the string with scissors, then dispose of the pieces away from your home. Many people pair it with a cleansing bath or spiritual and aura cleansing.
Cord cutting is a powerful turning point: a clear moment when you choose to stop carrying someone, and many clients feel lighter within days. Loe often combines it with protection and healing work so the space it opens is filled with something good.
What cord cutting can help with:
- Release: Letting go of an ex, a toxic friendship or a draining family tie.
- Calm: Fewer intrusive thoughts and less pull to check on them.
- Space: Room for new, healthier connections to come in.
A Protection Spell You Can Do at Home
If you want a spell for protection you can begin with today, try this simple ritual. Sweep your home from back to front, then sprinkle a line of salt across your front doorstep. Light a white candle and say a short protection spell chant such as: 'Only love may enter here. What wishes me harm, go your own way. I am safe, I am clear, I am free.'
Let the candle burn while you sit quietly for a few minutes, imagining your home surrounded by bright light. Afterwards, snuff it and clean up the salt when it feels right. Repeat the protection incantation whenever you feel the person's influence creeping back. For deeper work on your living space, see Loe's guide to cleansing your home.
It is a strong first step that helps you reclaim your space and your sense of control. If the situation involves ongoing harassment, pair it with the practical steps above.
Protection and Healing for a Loved One
Many people search for a protection spell for a loved one or a protection spell for a friend when someone they care about is caught up with a harmful person. You can light a candle and pray for their safety, place their photo beside a protective charm or carry a small token as a reminder to hold them in your thoughts.
A healing spell for a loved one can be as simple as lighting a blue or green candle and asking for their comfort and recovery. Loe's view is that this kind of work should support, not override. You can ask for someone's protection and healing, but you cannot make choices for them, even when you can see they are in a bad situation.
A healing spell for someone else should never replace medical or professional care. If a friend or relative is being abused, the most powerful thing you can do is often practical: listen, help them find support services and encourage them to contact emergency services if they are in danger.
How Loe Carries Out Banishing and Protection Work
Loe starts with a reading to understand who is involved, how the harm is happening and whether there are spiritual as well as practical elements, such as someone doing work against you. He then chooses timing, usually a waning moon for banishing and a waxing moon for protection and healing, and designs a ritual that might combine cleansing, cord cutting, candle work and protective charms. In practice that often means a black candle banishing cast as a witchcraft spell on a waning moon, a protective voodoo ritual in which a poppet representing you is wrapped, salted and guarded, and a traditional cleansing bath he prepares for you to take afterwards.
He will not cast anything intended to harm the other person, and he treats spells for enemies as spells to keep enemies away, not to hurt them. If justice is what you need, he may suggest court case and justice spells alongside your legal case. He stays with you after the work and keeps working until your situation moves.
Be cautious of anyone who offers to make a person disappear, suffer or become ill. Beyond the ethics, those offers are often used to pressure people into paying more and more. If you are drawn to that kind of work out of anger, his guide to revenge spells and curses explains why Loe offers something better.

FAQs About Loe's Spell to Get Rid of Someone
Is a spell to get rid of someone ethical?
It can be, when it is done as protection. Ethical banishing asks that a person's influence leave your life, not that anything bad happens to them. Loe frames every banishing as 'go your own way and stop harming me', which respects the other person's free will while protecting yours. What he will not do is cast anything to make someone ill, suffer or come to harm. That kind of work tends to keep you tied to the person, which is the opposite of what you want.
How do spells to banish someone from your life work?
Traditional banishing uses symbolic acts of removal: salt, smoke, running water, a waning moon, black candles and spoken words asking an influence to leave. Cord cutting and the freezer spell are common forms. They work on your energy, resolve and boundaries, and many people find they feel calmer and more decisive afterwards. They work best alongside practical steps such as blocking, documenting and, where needed, legal protection. Loe casts this work with strong, proven traditional methods and stays with you until you feel free.
What is a freezer spell?
A freezer spell is a folk practice where a name or situation is written on paper, placed in water and frozen, symbolically halting its movement. It is sometimes called a binding freezer spell. Loe treats it as a way of saying 'stop harming me' rather than a curse, and he often suggests writing the harmful behaviour rather than the person's name. It is a protective gesture, not a weapon, and it should never replace practical safety steps if someone is harassing you.
Is a black candle protection spell dark magic?
Not in itself. In many traditions black represents absorbing and removing negativity, which is why black candles are used for protection and banishing. The intention is what matters. A black candle lit to release a harmful influence from your life is protective. Loe uses black candles for removal and often pairs them with white candles for peace. Always follow basic candle safety: a sturdy holder, a heatproof surface, nothing flammable nearby and never leaving a flame unattended.
Is there a spell to make someone go away or move away?
Spiritual work can ask that someone's path lead away from yours, and many people use a spell to keep someone away or a spell to make someone go away when they feel crowded by an ex or a difficult neighbour. It works by turning their path away from yours rather than forcing their choices. Loe frames this work as opening a way for them to move on, while protecting you. If the person is harassing you, practical and legal steps matter most.
Can I use a spell to get someone out of my house?
If someone you live with is harmful to you, your safety comes first. Speak to a legal adviser, housing service or domestic abuse organisation about your options, and contact local emergency services if you are in danger. Spiritual work can support you through that process by cleansing the space, strengthening your resolve and protecting the home, but it is not a substitute for professional advice. Loe can help with protective work once your practical safety plan is in place.
Can I do a protection spell for a loved one or friend?
Yes. A protection spell for a loved one might be as simple as lighting a white candle beside their photo and asking for their safety, or giving them a small protective charm with their agreement. A healing spell for a loved one can ask for comfort and recovery. You can hold someone in your prayers, but you cannot make their choices for them. If they are being hurt, practical support, such as helping them reach support services, is the most loving thing you can offer.
When should I ask Loe for help with banishing?
Consider asking Loe if a person keeps returning to your life despite clear boundaries, if you feel drained or unsettled whenever they are around, or if you suspect someone has done spiritual work against you. He will begin with a reading, choose timing that suits the work, design a tailored ritual that might include cleansing, cord cutting and protection, and stay with you until you feel free. He will also encourage you to take practical steps, and he never offers work meant to harm the other person.
