Stop Someone From Gossiping About You

Items Needed:

• Picture of Person's head
• Poppet (can be cloth or paper)
• Needle
• Black Thread
• Scissors
• Black Candle to repel negativity.
• Brown Candle for friendship.

1. Get a picture of the person you wish to stop spreading rumors about you, and cut out the head and attach it to the doll's face. I'm a very visual person, so this combination would help me more than simply using a doll or just a picture. (If you can't find a picture, then I personally suggest writing their name and birthday if you know it onto the poppet or if making a cloth poppet, write that information onto a piece of paper and stuff it inside the poppet.)
2. Grab some thread and a needle - I would use black thread, to symbolize the banishing of ill-speak, as you will use the thread to sew the mouth on the picture shut.
3. Light your black candle as you visualize the negativity leaving the person spreading the gossip.
4. Light your brown candle as you visualize you and this person sharing mutual respect.
5. As you begin to sew the mouth shut, chant:

"You whose mouth always fails to cease
Saying such things to disrupt my peace
I bid you from this hate you so desperately cling
from the anger and resentment you continuously bring
Your lies and hate end right here
to start anew with love so pure
Now bid farewell to such ill-will shown
for it shall be muffled by the thread I've sewn
and with my intentions only innocent and sweet
As i will, so mote it be."
