To Stop Rumors From Being Spread About You

Items needed:

• A picture of the person or a piece of paper with their name and birthday (if you know it) wrote on it

1. Draw a protective circle in your usual manner, what ever works best for you.
2. Stand inside the circle, picture the person/people who are causing you grief, and chant:
   "Shut their mouths and push them away,
   no one will care what they have to say,
   bind their lips and keep them at bay,
   no one believes what they have to say."
   
   
3. Make a pushing motion with your hands as you chant, as if to push their words away, rejecting them and rendering them ineffective. You can also imagine their mouths being tied up as you chant,
   "making it so that they are unable to effectively tell the lies they want to."
   


4. You can chant as many times as you like, for as long as you like, until you feel that enough energy has been raised to make the spell take effect.
5. When you are ready, you can end the spell saying
   "May it be so"
   or what ever phrase you like to end a spell on, to signify that you are done.
6. Close the protective circle.

Notes:

• If you cast your spells depending on moon phases, I recommend casting this spell during the Waning Moon.
• During the chant, you can substitute "they" for he or she, what ever applies to your situation.
• Do not cast this with the intention of harming anyone- as I said, this is only intended to stop gossip, not to punish the gossiper.
• This spell won't work on someone who is innocent, only on someone who is trying to use their words to do harm.
