What is the pentagram?
The pentagram, or five pointed star is one of the best known symbols of Wicca. A pentacle is simply a pentagram in a circle. Many use it as a connection to the divine, a talisman or to open and close circles. They can be used to open and close circles. The points represent air, earth, fire, water and the spirit.

Parchment Paper
This spell requires you to write on parchment paper. Traditionally this would have been animal skins. However you can buy parchment paper from an art shop. If you find you are doing a lot of spells which require writing your spells down, you can buy a paper making kit and make your own.
What you Need:
- A cauldron or other fireproof pot
- A black candle
- Parchment paper and a pen
- A wand (optional)
- Banishing oil (optional)
The Pentagram Banishing Spell
Cast your circle and light your candle (if you are using banishing oil, first place a few drops on the candle and rub it in a downwards motion).
Say the following:
“Goddess, I seek your help in banishing this negativity from my life.”
Write on your parchment what is holding you back, or what you want to banish.
Take your wand and in the direction of the picture below, trace the pentagram symbol over your parchment paper with your finger or a wand:
Light the parchment using the candle, and drop it into the cauldron.
Say the following:
“I will no longer be held by my negativity.”
As you speak, imagine the negativity leaving you and no longer being part of your life. Take a moment to visualise this and let it go.
Thank the Goddess.
Open your circle and let the candle burn out safely.
