The Shield of Release

In life, we often encounter hostile forces, whether from difficult people, toxic habits, or internal struggles. The "Shield of Release" spell is a powerful, magical practice designed to weaken and eliminate these harmful influences. By following this ritual, you create a talisman that helps you release negativity, break bad habits, and protect yourself energetically. This simple yet effective spell works best when performed during the waning moon, a time ideal for letting go and banishing.


Here’s a step-by-step guide to performing the Shield of Release spell.


What You’ll Need:


  • A rectangular sheet of paper

  • A pen (preferably red ink, but any color works)

  • A small jar

  • A good quantity of salt

  • A quiet space to focus your intention


Step 1: Choosing the Right Timing


Perform this spell during the waning moon, as this lunar phase supports releasing and diminishing energy. You can do it on any day of the week that is convenient for you.


Step 2: Preparing Your Paper


Write the Names of the Seven Archangels

At the top of your paper, write the names of the seven archangels, each of whom corresponds to a day of the week and the inner planets. These are:


  • Michael (Sun)

  • Gabriel (Moon)

  • Samael (Mars)

  • Raphaeln (Mercury)

  • Sachiel (Jupiter)

  • Anael (Venus)

  • Cassiel (Saturn)


Write a Small Petition

Below the archangel names, write a petition asking for the removal of harm. For example, you can write: “Please remove all power to harm.”


Step 3: Targeting the Source


Draw a Rectangle Below your petition, draw a rectangle. Inside the rectangle, write the full name of your target. If addressing a person, write their first and last name.  If you don't know the name of the person, describe them in two words, such as "noisy neighbor" or "Slandering Troublemaker." For a condition or habit, create a two-word name that represents the issue, for instance, "cigarette addiction," or "persistent guilt." Write the name in block letters without a space between the first and last name. If you are using this to banish a condition, make sure you name your condition using two words and write them together with no space.

For instance:

  • A specific person (e.g., “JOHNSMITH”, “NOISYNEIGHBOR”)

  • A harmful condition (e.g., “CIGARETTEADDICTION,” or “PERSISTANTGUILT”)


Reduce the Target’s Power

Begin by writing the target’s name in block letters inside the rectangle (e.g., “JOHN SMITH”). Then, rewrite the name below, removing the first and last letters. Repeat this process until no letters remain. This symbolic action weakens the target's influence Sign Your Name Once you’ve completed reducing the name, sign your name at the bottom of the paper to seal the intention.

Step 4: Finalizing the Talisman


Prepare the Jar Take a clean jar and add a small layer of salt to the bottom. Sprinkle some salt over the paper and fold it until it’s small enough to fit into the jar.


Fill the Jar with Salt Completely cover the paper with salt until it's completely covered. This first creates an immediate protective barrier and then eradicates the negative energy over the course of the spell.


Step 5: Storing the Shield of Release Talisman


Place the jar in a secure, hidden location where it will remain undisturbed. The spell begins to take effect immediately, and you may notice results right away. In my experience, a full resolution typically unfolds for me within three days to three months, depending on the complexity of the situation.


Step 6: Releasing the Energy


Once the situation is resolved, you’ll need to complete the ritual by disposing of the talisman:


  1. Remove the jar’s lid and discard the salt in the trash.

  2. Destroy the paper by tearing it up or burning it safely, then dispose of the remains.


This final step seals the work and ensures the energy is released. Once the spell is cast, release the matter from your thoughts entirely. Should any action be required, you will intuitively be guided to take it. Once you've taken care of it, let the matter go again and trust in your spell's ability to manifest the desired outcome.


Important Notes:


  • Only work with one talisman at a time. Wait for your current spell to resolve before starting another.

  • Always approach this ritual with clear intentions and respect for the angels whom you are petitioning.


Final Thoughts


The Shield of Release spell is a versatile and powerful tool for personal transformation and protection. Whether you’re dealing with a harmful person, breaking a bad habit, or letting go of resentments, this ritual can help you take back control and create positive change in your life. May this spell serve you well in removing unwanted influences and empowering your journey forward.

Blessed be.
