Hex Your Ex: And 100+ Other Spells to Right Wrongs and Banish Bad Luck for Good - Adams Media 2019
Love Spells
It will probably come as no surprise, but some of the most common spells are—you guessed it—love spells. Whether you’re looking for something to help smooth over a silly argument, prepare you for the next big steps in your relationship, or even get you noticed by someone you like, you’ll find the spells you need here. Love spells can be tricky and can sometimes seem a little questionable. It’s easy to let your heart rule your head, so make sure you give yourself time to think about what you really want in a relationship. What are your motives for casting a spell? Do you really want to snag a guy who’s not that into you? If your girlfriend is cheating on you, do you really want her back? Don’t forget: it’s just as important to practice self-love and remember that you deserve only kindness and respect in all of your romantic relationships.

WHAT YOU NEED
A piece of rose quartz
A glass jar or bottle, preferably green, with a lid or stopper
Mild soap
Water
A soft cloth
9 ounces of olive, almond, or grape seed oil
6 drops of rose, jasmine, or ylang-ylang essential oil
1/4 teaspoon of dried chamomile leaves
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
Begin on the new moon and continue for as long as necessary
WHAT TO DO
1. Wash the rose quartz and the jar or bottle with mild soap and water, then pat them dry with the soft cloth. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. Pour the olive, almond, or grape seed oil into the jar. Add the essential oil and inhale the fragrance, allowing it to relax your mind. Crush the chamomile leaves very fine and sprinkle them in the oil. Add the rose quartz.
2. Cap the jar and shake it three times to blend and charge the ingredients. Open the circle.
3. Before going to bed, pour a little of the magick balm into your palm and dip your index finger in it. Then rub the oil on your skin at your heart center. Feel it gently soothing the pain. Take several slow, deep breaths, inhaling the pleasant scent, letting it calm your thoughts and emotions. Repeat each night and each morning until your sadness diminishes.
Spell End an Argument
You’ve had an argument, and all you’re feeling right now is frustrated, hurt, and angry. Those tricky feelings might be keeping you from making up, so try this spell to help bring you back together peacefully.
WHAT YOU NEED
A clear quartz crystal
Mild soap
Water
A soft cloth
A ballpoint pen
A piece of paper
Jasmine essential oil
2 pink candles
2 candleholders
Matches or a lighter
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
As soon as possible
WHAT TO DO
1. Wash the quartz crystal with mild soap and water, then pat it dry with the soft cloth. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. On the piece of paper write down everything you like and enjoy about your partner. When you’ve finished, put a drop of essential oil on each corner of the paper and fold it three times.
2. Use the ballpoint pen to inscribe your name on one of the candles and your beloved’s name on the other. Dress the candles by rubbing a little essential oil on them (not on the wicks). Fit the candles in their holders and position them on your altar, a table, or other flat surface, so they are about a foot apart. Lay the folded piece of paper between the candles and set the crystal on top of the paper. Light the candles.
3. Close your eyes and bring to mind an image of your partner. Say to that image: “I honor the Divine within you. I forgive you and I forgive myself. I am grateful for the good times we’ve known together. I bless you and love you. Namaste.” Let go of anger, resentment, recrimination, criticism, and so forth that you have held toward your partner. When you’re ready, open your eyes and snuff out the candles. Open the circle.
4. If necessary, repeat the spell the next day, only this time move the two candles a little closer together. Do this spell daily, moving the candles closer each time, until you’ve mended the rift between you.
Spell Get You Noticed
Does it sometimes seem like you’re invisible? If you aren’t getting the attention you seek, it’s time to boost your personal power! This spell helps you raise energy and project it into your environment, so that other people will notice you.
WHAT YOU NEED
A clear quartz crystal
Mild soap
Water
A soft cloth
A drum or gong
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
During the full moon
WHAT TO DO
1. Wash the quartz crystal with mild soap and water, then pat it dry with the soft cloth. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. Stand or sit in the center of the circle with the drum or gong. Place the crystal nearby.
2. Play the drum or gong. Feel the vibration breaking down the wall around you that prevents people from seeing you clearly. Imagine you are drawing energy up from the Earth, through your feet, into your body. Envision it as a brilliant silver light moving up your legs and spine, until your entire body is filled with a glow.
3. Continue playing the drum or gong as you now imagine drawing energy down from the heavens. Visualize this as golden light flowing into the crown of your head, down your spine, until your whole body is alive with a golden glow. Pick up the crystal and hold it to your heart.
4. Strike the drum or gong one time as you imagine the mixture of silver and gold light radiating outward from your heart. As it flows through the crystal the light is magnified tenfold and spreads out, filling the room. Strike the drum or gong again as you send the light further, into the environment outside. You can project this powerful light as far and wide as you choose.
5. When you feel confident and secure in your newfound radiance, open the circle. Pick up the crystal and carry it with you at all times. It will retain the energy of the spell and continue resonating with it, enhancing your personal power wherever you go.
Spell Turn Up the Heat
Has the spark gone out of your relationship? Not to worry—this spell uses cayenne pepper and ginger to add some spice right back into your love life. It also lets you play with a little bit of fire to really heat things up between you and your partner.
WHAT YOU NEED
A fireplace, balefire pit, barbecue grill, hibachi, or other place where you can light a fire safely
Firewood or charcoal (note: don’t burn charcoal indoors)
Matches or a lighter
A piece of paper
A pen that writes red ink
Cayenne pepper
Mustard seeds
Ginger
Jasmine
Rosemary
Bay leaves
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
During the waxing moon, preferably on a Tuesday
WHAT TO DO
1. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. Build a small fire.
2. On the paper, use your red pen to write what you find enticing about your partner and what you desire from them. Be as descriptive and explicit as you like—no one but you will read what you’ve written. When you’ve finished, draw the runes Gebo (which looks like an X) and Teiwaz (which looks like an arrow pointing up) around the edges of the paper. These two symbols represent love and passion, respectively.
3. Place the spices on the paper and fold it to make a packet that contains them. Visualize you and your lover in a passionate embrace. As you hold this image in your mind, toss the packet into the fire. As it burns, your intention is released into the universe. Open the circle.
Spell Tie Down a Cheating Partner
Few things hurt as much as being betrayed by the one you love. This spell puts a magick “leash” on your wayward partner so they will stay close to home. A word of warning: by casting this spell you bind your partner to you and vice versa, so be certain that’s what you truly want before going ahead. This spell could take some time so feel free to perform it in stages.
WHAT YOU NEED
Thread
A needle
Your partner’s underpants (ideally, all of the undies)
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
On a Saturday, when the sun or moon is in Taurus
WHAT TO DO
1. Cast a circle. Thread your needle and sew a stitch into the waistband of the first pair of underpants (try to do this so it doesn’t show). Tie a knot and say or think this affirmation: “[Name] is faithful to me only, and we are very happy together.” Make another stitch, tie a knot, and repeat the affirmation.
2. Continue in this manner until you’ve sewn a complete circle around the waistband of his or her underpants, with lots of little knots tied along the way. The string of knots, sometimes called a “witch’s ladder,” holds your intention firmly in place and symbolically ties the two of you together in an exclusive partnership.
3. When you’ve finished sewing as many garments as you feel up to working on, say aloud: “This spell is done in harmony with Divine Will, our own true wills, and for the good of all, harming none.” This disclaimer invites a higher power to take it from here and neutralizes the manipulative aspect of the spell. If, ultimately, the relationship isn’t in your best interests, you’re giving Divine Will license to act on your behalf to release you from the spell.
4. Open the circle. Repeat the spell as many times as necessary until you’ve stitched your intention into every pair of your lover’s underpants.
Spell Leave Bad Relationships Behind
You and your partner no longer see eye to eye, and you both know it’s time to move on. This spell severs the bond between you, so you can both get on with your individual lives. If you wish—and your soon-to-be-ex agrees—you can enact this spell together to finalize the break.
WHAT YOU NEED
A fireplace, balefire pit, barbecue grill, hibachi, or other place where you can light a fire safely
Matches or a lighter
Firewood or charcoal (note: don’t burn charcoal indoors)
2 pieces of black cord
Scissors
A handful of dried ash leaves
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
During the waning moon, preferably on a Saturday
WHAT TO DO
1. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. Build a small fire.
2. Tie the two pieces of cord together. If you are doing this spell with your partner, give him or her one piece of cord and hold the other piece yourself. Say aloud: “This knot represents the bond between us.” With the scissors, cut through the knot, separating the cords again. Say aloud: “The bond between us is now severed. What was two, then one, is now two again.”
3. Drop the cords into the fire, then scatter the ash leaves in the flames. Envision the separation between you; see yourself walking away from the relationship alone. Say aloud: “Go in peace [partner’s name] and let there be peace between us always. Blessed be.” Open the circle.
Amulet Block Unwanted Attention
Some people just won’t take no for answer, no matter how many times you tell them you’re not interested. If they won’t leave you alone, take a hint from social media and block them . . . in real life! This amulet helps you repel unwanted attention and establish clear boundaries.
WHAT YOU NEED
A piece of amber
A piece of onyx
Mild soap
Water
A soft cloth
Pine incense
An incense burner
Matches or a lighter
A piece of paper
A pen that writes black ink
A black pouch, preferably silk or leather
Dried basil leaves
Anise or fennel seeds
An ash leaf
A white ribbon
Salt water
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
During the waning moon, preferably on a Saturday
WHAT TO DO
1. Wash the amber and the onyx with mild soap and water, then pat them dry with the soft cloth. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. Fit the incense in its burner and light it.
2. On the paper, draw a sigil that uses the letters in the word protection (see Chapter 4). As you work, envision yourself safe and sound, completely surrounded by a sphere of pure white light that no one can penetrate without your permission. When you’ve finished, draw a circle around the sigil and fold the paper so it’s small enough to fit into the pouch. Put the sigil, botanicals, amber, and onyx into the pouch.
3. Tie it closed with the white ribbon, making eight knots. Each time you tie a knot repeat this incantation aloud:
“From energies I don’t invite
This charm protects me day and night.”
4. Sprinkle the amulet with salt water, then hold it in the incense smoke for a few moments to charge it. Open the circle. Wear or carry the amulet with you at all times, until the annoying person stops bothering you.
Lie Detector Serum
Do you suspect your partner isn’t telling you the truth? This spell acts as a lie detector and helps you get to the heart of the matter. Instead of administering the truth serum to your partner, you drink it yourself to open your second sight. But there’s no going back once you take a sip, so be sure you really want to know what’s going on before you drink up . . .
WHAT YOU NEED
6 cups water
1 nettle tea bag
1 chamomile tea bag
1 yarrow tea bag
A cup
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 dark blue candle
1 candleholder
Matches or a lighter
A scrying tool (a reflective surface, such as a dark mirror, a crystal ball, a large clear quartz crystal, or a dark bowl filled with water)
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL
On the night of the full moon
WHAT TO DO
1. Heat the water and add the nettle, chamomile, and yarrow tea bags. Allow to steep for several minutes, then cool. Add honey to sweeten it. Cast a circle around the area where you will do your spell. Sip the tea while you allow your mind to relax and grow receptive.
2. When you’ve finished the tea, fit the candle in its holder and set it on your altar, a table, or other surface so the candle flame will be at your eye level when you’re sitting down. Light the candle and gaze into its flickering flame for a few moments. Set the scrying tool near the candle, so the light reflects in it.
3. Think about your partner and the issue about which you have concerns. When you feel ready to learn the truth, look into the scrying tool and behold your partner’s face before you in the reflective surface.
4. Ask whatever you want to know. You might see visions, hear a verbal response, feel a reaction in your body, or merely sense what’s true. Trust your intuition.
5. Continue scrying for as long as you wish, asking more questions if you desire. When you’ve received all the information you seek or can process at present, extinguish the candle and open the circle.

Whether that’s having the dreaded “what are we to each other?” talk or planning for a future together, this talisman helps deepen and stabilize the feelings between you and your partner.

“I love you and you love me
Together we shall always be
And live in perfect harmony.”
