In magic, there are many ways to remove curses, hexes and unwanted energies from yourself.

You could try a hex removal bath, you could use candles to remove curses, you could even remove a curse with an egg.

But what if you don't just want to remove the harmful or unwanted energies, but you also want to use them to fuel your own goals? To manifest the things you desire?

After all, energy doesn't get destroyed, it just changes forms.

So why waste a perfectly good accumulation of unwanted energy (or all that juice someone put in cursing you) when you could just change it into a kind of energy that's beneficial to you?

Enter the swifting spell.

What is a swifting ritual?

A swifting spell (also known as a swifting ritual or swifting of unwanted energy ritual) is a ritual where you take negative energy of any kind and change it into neutral at first, and then into positive energy. You then use the cleansed, positive energy to support a goal you have.

The spell basically takes all the bad juju out of the energy, switches its frequency to something pure and then channels it all into whatever goal or purpose you choose.

It's basically fool-proof (meaning you can't mess it up even if you've brand-new to magic) and it's convenient because it serves two purposes in one (you get rid of the unwanted energy AND you enchant for something you desire, all in one spell).

A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

These aren't precautions really. They are things to keep in mind to make your life easier and ensure your spells has the best chances of working.

USE SMALL CANDLES FOR THE SWIFTING RITUAL

This is one of those spells where the candles have to burn down completely or extinguish themselves (whichever happens first). You do it all in one sitting and you don't relight the candles.

So use tealights or small tapers instead of big votive candles. Candles are a potential fire hazard and you don't want to sit around all day watching them to make sure they don't burn your place down.

USE THE SWIFTING SPELL TO REMOVE ONE UNWANTED ENERGY, CURSE OR HEX AT A TIME

This spell is based on being able to bring up all the memories, thoughts, feelings and emotions connected to the energy or curse you are trying to remove as vividly and clearly as possible.

This would be very difficult to do with multiple energies or curses at the same time. You would either not give it your all or you'd end up extremely exhausted emotionally.

So for best results, only do this spell for one energy or hex at a time.

YOU CAN ONLY DO THE SWIFTING RITUAL FOR YOURSELF

Many spells or rituals can be done on behalf of other people just as easily as they can be done for ourselves.

This is not one of these spells.

The swifting ritual is based on bringing up all the thoughts and feelings associated with the energy you are trying to remove, and this can only be done by the person who is experiencing this energy, curse or hex.

If you want to help someone else then either teach them how to do the swifting ritual themselves or pick another curse removal method that can be performed on behalf of other people instead.

Alright, now that we got all that out of the way let's move on to the actual spell and how to use it.

The meaning of removing curses and hexes is pretty straightforward. But what do I mean by "unwanted energies"?

Allow me to illustrate by giving you an example from my own life:

So I used to have a serious guilt problem.

For years, I felt really guilty for a number of things I shouldn't be feeling guilty for.

It was my biggest obstacle in manifesting many of the things I wanted. I'd throw tons of magic to shift specific situations and nothing would change, because deep down I felt guilty for wanting specific things.

I'm not talking superficial guilt here; I was deeply, honestly, 100% seeing myself as guilty and awaiting punishment, and nothing anyone could say or do could change that.

It got so bad that (after different attempts from spirits to shift me out of this state) I had an archangel manifest (the shit-your-pants terrifying manifestation, colossal in size, covered in eyes etc etc) just to give me the message that God (at least his god) doesn't judge me, I'm the one judging myself so harshly.

Anyway, after trying and failing to find a way to successfully deal with this deep-rooted guilt, I finally managed to address it and start removing layers of it.

So I was finally free to go after my goals now that the guilt was gone, right?

Wrong! Enter shame.

I used to think that guilt and shame are very similar.

It turns out that they are different things, and even when the guilt is removed that doesn't mean the shame will always be removed instantly too.

Guilt has to do with feeling that you have done something wrong. Shame on the other hand includes all the feelings of humiliation and distress that remain, even when you remove the original feeling of guilt.

So I had to find a different way to address the lingering sense of shame too and remove it.

And the swifting ritual is great for that!

HOW TO DO THE SWIFTING OF UNWANTED ENERGIES SPELL

YOU ARE GOING TO NEED:

1. one black candle

2. one grey or brown candle

3. one white candle

4. a metal cookie sheet (or other flat, non-flammable surface)

5. salt

6. pen and paper

Remember, metal cookie sheet!

Mine are on a flammable sheet in the photo because I arranged everything just to take the photo, but you'll be lighting a paper on fire in the end so it has to be something that won't catch fire underneath.

STEP 1

Arrange the candles as shown in the photo.

Then draw a line of salt between the black and the grey/brown candle, and again between the grey/brown and the white candle.

Pour salt in the shape of the tip of an arrow extending from the white candle, and make a salt circle around it.

STEP 2

Name your black candle for what it is you want to shift.

You can inscribe the word on the candle if you want.

STEP 3

On a piece of paper, write the goal you want to direct the cleansed energy towards. This can be a very specific goal, or it may be something like "healing" or "positive transformation". I always go as specific as possible when I can, but it's your call.

After you've finished writing your goal or petition, fold the paper and put it on the arrow tip.

STEP 4

Sit in front of the candles, look at the black candle and let yourself be consumed by the thoughts and feelings associated with what you are trying to transform.

If it's a curse for example, bring to mind each manifestation of that curse. Did you car break down in the middle of the highway because of that curse? Bring the event to mind as vividly as possible, and feel the feelings that you felt while it was happening.

Do that with each and every memory you have that's connected to the curse or unwanted energy.

This is the time to allow all those annoying mind movies you usually try to suppress to run again and again in your mind.

You know, about how it's hopeless, and nothing can be done, and maybe you were born unlucky/to suffer/incapable of getting to the third date without getting dumped/incapable of holding down a job etc.

You know better than anyone what thoughts you tend to have that are connected to the energy or what thoughts and feelings the curse triggered, so let those evil babies loose at full blast and channel them all into your candle.

When you are ready, light the black candle and continue directing all the negative thoughts and emotions and energies towards it until there's nothing left anymore. Until you have exhausted yourself and your feelings completely.

STEP 5

Now light the grey/brown candle.

As the black candle burns, the energy follows the line of salt towards the grey/brown candle where it has transformed into a neutral form.

It's not the negative energy or curse anymore, but it's not positive either. It's neutral, and it can be used for any purpose.

Focus on this process of transformation for a moment.

STEP 6

Now light the white candle.

The neutral energy from the grey/brown candle gathers in the white candle.

It has shifted further into positive energy, and is now ready to be directed towards your goal. The energy leaves the white candle and gathers at the arrow tip, where your petition paper has been placed.

Take a few moments to contemplate that; to feel the positive shift that will soon start to manifest in your life and inside you.

STEP 7

Let all the candles burn completely. Don't relight them.

STEP 8

When all the candles have finished burning, take the petition paper and burn it on the arrow tip.

Then gather all the remnants and bury them somewhere in your property.

That's it!

You have successfully completed the swifting of negative energies spell!
