🤍 Banishing with Dignity — How Vodou Rituals End What No Longer Serves

In Vodou, banishing is not an act of vengeance—it is an act of sacred restoration. It is the spiritual severance of what no longer serves your peace, your power, or your destiny. Whether you are disentangling from a toxic lover, ending spiritual sabotage, or reclaiming your emotional clarity, banishing is a rite of dignity. It is how we say: “No more. I choose myself.”

Banishing is not about harming others. It is about protecting yourself. It is about restoring balance to your spiritual field so that new blessings can take root.

This article is part of Erzulie’s Spiritual Summary Series™, a practitioner-led archive designed to illuminate the divine structure behind authentic Vodou rituals and Vodou spells. Each entry honors the divine spirits, emotional truths, and ethical boundaries that guide authentic ritual practice. These summaries are crafted to preserve legacy, educate seekers, and preserve the sacred Vodou tradition.

🤍 What Is Banishing in Vodou?

Banishing is the ritual removal of:

Toxic relationships that drain your spirit
Spiritual attachments that cloud your clarity
Curses, hexes, or bindings that block your path
Energetic residue from betrayal, grief, or trauma

It is a sacred act of spiritual sovereignty—one that clears the way for healing, love, and liberation.

🤍 When to Perform Banishing Spells

Banishing is most effective when:

You’ve experienced betrayal, emotional abuse, or manipulation
You sense spiritual interference or energetic sabotage
You’re preparing for new love, healing, or ritual work
You’re navigating grief, endings, or major life transitions

Banishing is not a punishment. It is a reset. A spiritual declaration that your peace is non-negotiable.
