A friend emailed me about someone she believes is doing magic against someone she knows. I replied: “Remember when you dispel the energy, it only comes up again if you talk about it or keep bringing it to mind.  Whenever you continue to hold a thought like that when it comes to mind, you are giving energy to the situation.  When you talk about it with anyone, you are giving it energy.  If you take it out of your consciousness, and everyone else takes it out of theirs, you are robbing X of the energy she needs to keep anything going.   If I were you, I’d write a nice long note to X and let her know she has no power over you and you wish her only the best, then have a nice burning bowl ceremony for yourself, burn the letter and never mention it again.  When the thought comes up again, and it will, simply think “bless her and move her into the Light where she can continue to grow and prosper.”
