Use this simple recipe as a spell for protection against negativity. Whether you need to banish someone’s energy to get rid of a curse or banish a spirit from your home, this incantation will ward off intrusive energies that might be hurting you or making you vulnerable to psychic attacks.
Why This Spell Works
- For this protection ritual, we will harness the powers of the red apple, 🍎 a Pagan symbol of beauty, purity, rebirth, and communication with the Otherworld.
- In combination, a bay leaf will represent an offering. Bay leaves are often linked to the purification of the spirit, protection against negative entities, and spell-breaking qualities. Watch a video lesson on Bay Leaf Magical Properties.
The best day of the week to cast this spell is a Friday. You can also do this ritual to break bad luck or lift your spirit when you are going through a rough patch. This is a protection spell with a simple chant, and it’s perfectly safe to do at home.

Question on the Banishing Grace spell:
What would one do if they live in a high rise apartment in Metropolis with no access to a garden or “fresh soil”, and burying in a public park is not really an option and could result in a fine. Would throwing the rejoined apple in the trash or public trash can a few blocks away be an acceptable alternative?
That is an acceptable alternative, of course. The purpose of burying the apple is to return it back to the Earth. If there is a way you can compost it then that would work, too.
Super helpful as always! Thank you, Megan!
You’re very welcome! 🥰
So, living in upstate NY, there’s a foot of snow outside and there is no way anyone is digging up anything. Would putting it in a pot of potting soil work until the spring thaw and then burying it outside be acceptable and can it be kept out in the carport until such time as we can bury it? Thanks so much.
Hey Julia! That’s a fantastic way to improvise and adjust the spell to suit your situation!
