Bad neighbors can ruin your life, as dramatic as that sounds.
They’re the people you have to see day in and day out, and much like family, you don’t get to choose them.
So, if you can’t become besties and bring each other pies, at the very least, it’d be nice if you could be civil.
However, if your neighbors don’t respect boundaries (physical or emotional), blast music late at night, or allow their pets to harass you, something has to be done.
These spells won’t turn them good, but they might help in banishing their energy and getting them to leave you alone!
1. Salt Circle Ritual
When you feel like your neighbors’ malice has invaded your home, reach for salt! It’s the simplest purification tool, and everyone has it at home.
It would be good if you could use Himalayan or sea salt. You’ll also need a small bowl, white candles, incense, and a lighter.
You’ll want to take the salt and create a protective circle inside a room that faces your neighbors’ home, or any other problematic area.
Sit inside the circle and focus. Close your eyes, visualizing as the salt soaks up all the energía negativa and banishes it from your space.
Intention is what counts, but if you find it easier to use words, here’s what you can chant: “Energies dark, now depart, Cleanse this space, and heal my heart.”
Once you’re done, leave the salt there for as long as you can, ideally for 24 hours.
When the time runs out, clean it all up and throw it away somewhere outside the home. Your space will feel much lighter!
2. Mirror Banishing Spell
If your neighbors’ issues with you feel personal, like a direct attack, this mirror spell will give them a taste of their own medicine!
You’ll need a small handheld mirror, a black candle, some kind of thread, and a marker.
Take the marker and write the neighbor’s name on the glass; you could also just write “negativity” or something like that if you wish to be subtle.
Light the candle, hold the mirror, and really focus on sending all the negative energy back to its source!
The mirror acts as a shield, rejecting anything bad that tries to enter your home.
Once you’ve set your intention, get the thread and hang the mirror at your door or window. You’ll want to keep it discreet, but make sure it stays where you put it.
Do not let it fall and break!
3. Herbal Cleansing Spray
For those who would rather bypass rituals, a cleansing spray made with intention might also do the trick!
Think of it as an air freshener for the heavy energy your neighbors might have brought in.
Again, the ingredients are simple, and you most likely have them all in your home already: white vinegar, water, and some fresh hierbas (sage, rosemary, or lavender; or all three).
You’ll also need a spray bottle at the end.
Start by boiling water in a small pot; toss the herbs in and leave them to simmer for about 15 minutes.
When that part is done, strain the liquid and leave it to cool down.
Once cool, you’ll want to pour it into the spray bottle and mix it with vinegar.
To use, simply give it a good shake, and spray cualquier parts of the home that feel exposed to negativity.
You might want to spray the couch your neighbors sat in, or even outside of your home. Make sure to visualize as it dispels any lingering tension and leaves your space unburdened.
4. Freezer Spell
The freezer spell is a very effective way to freeze your neighbors’ negative energy. All of their bad intentions will stop, unable to reach you.
You’ll need a small piece of paper, a container with water, and, you guessed it, your freezer.
On the paper, you’ll want to write exactly what you want to banish; even just writing “bad neighbor energy” or “nosy neighbors” will do.
Fold the paper and place it in the container; fill the container with water, and put that in your freezer.
As you shut the freezer door, visualize their negativity being frozen, losing any power it had to harm you. Leave it there for 24 hours, and then throw it away.
For those who aren’t afraid of dabbling in magia negra, you could freeze your neighbor’s prosperity in hopes of getting them to move away.
However, I believe that just stopping their bad intentions is enough.
5. Candle Ritual
You’ll want to do this candle ritual when you feel the need to invite peace back into your home after your neighbors have disturbed it.
Get either a white or black candle; you’ll also need a lighter, some salt, and a picture of your home from a better time (or an object that reminds you of peaceful days).
Light the candle, and allow your mind to focus solely on your desire for tranquilidad.
Place the photo or the object right next to the candle and sprinkle salt around them.
Think of the candle flame as a fire that burns away all negativity, while its warmth fills your home and leaves behind peace.
