How do you get rid of a spell? The first answer, however surprising: you get rid of the fear first. Fear of spells makes you lose sleep, suspect the people you love and give money to those who promise to “cut the work”. Only once you calm down can you see clearly what is happening and what you need to do.
In this guide you will find the complete path of unbinding from spells, as we see it: the basic steps (doctor, rest, order), the way of the Church, working with unbindings over salt, cleansing your home and yourself, protection afterwards and, just as important, what not to do. No one can promise you a guaranteed result; what you can do is take your power back, step by step.
Before anything else: are you sure it is a spell?
Many people who believe they are under a spell are actually going through a hard time: exhaustion, anaemia, a thyroid problem, depression, anxiety, grief, a relationship that drains them. The symptoms tradition attributes to spells (headaches, pressure on the chest, insomnia, arguments, blockages) are the same.
So the first step is to rule out the ordinary causes: a medical check-up, blood tests, perhaps a conversation with a psychologist. I made a complete table in the article what symptoms you have when you are under a spell. This does not mean the spiritual side does not matter; it means you take both seriously.
Step 1: basic care
Any unbinding goes more easily with a rested body and in a tidy home:
- sleep enough and at regular hours;
- eat simply and drink water;
- go outside every day, into nature;
- tidy and clean your home;
- cut down the time spent with people and content that frighten you (including videos about spells).
Step 2: the way of the Church
How are spells undone, according to the Church? For believers, the Orthodox Church has a clear answer to the question “who breaks spells?”: Christ, through the Holy Sacraments and the prayer of the Church. In practice:
- confession and, with your spiritual father's blessing, Holy Communion;
- the blessing of the home with holy water and the reading, by a priest, of the prayers of deliverance from the Book of Needs (those of Saint Basil the Great and Saint John Chrysostom);
- Holy Unction;
- holy water, daily prayer, Psalm 90 (Psalm 91 in Western numbering);
- fasting, according to each person's strength.
Priests draw attention to something important: whoever fears spells should not run to charmers, sorcerers or fortune-tellers, because the situation can get worse, spiritually and financially. For prayers, also read a prayer against spells. The liturgical texts are read by a priest; you can pray in your own words.
Step 3: spoken unbindings over salt
If you also work spiritually, outside the Church's order or alongside it, unbindings (Dezlegări) are a gentle and powerful tool. They are phrases said out loud, in the first person, through which you undo what you feel does not belong to you and call your energy back. What you need:
- Coarse salt (1–2 kg) on a tray, which you stand on barefoot.
- A candle, on a stable holder, away from curtains, never left unattended.
- An oil, if you wish, used only externally and diluted (2–3 drops in 10 ml of carrier oil), after a patch test.
- 15–30 minutes of quiet, daily, for 30 days.
Example phrases (personal wordings, not church texts):
- “I, (your name), now undo any spell, charm or binding made on me, my children and my home.”
- “I send back into the light everything that does not belong to me, without harming anyone.”
- “I call all my energy back, clean.”
- “I choose peace. I am protected.”
Reactions (yawning, tears, cold, warmth, tiredness) are common; if they become too strong, stop and rest. How to work in detail is explained in the guide Unbindings: what they are and how to work with them and in the one about a person's energy cleansing.
If you want all the phrases in one place, with the 30-day protocol, you will find them in the book Unbindings from Spells and Deep Energy Cleansing (PDF); I described what it contains in the article about the spell unbindings book.
Step 4: cleanse your home
Your home is the place where you recover. A simple cleansing: air it out, tidy up, put salt in the corners for a few days, light frankincense or a candle (under supervision), state an intention. If you have found strange objects at your gate or in the house, pick them up with gloves, throw them far away and wash the spot. The full steps are in the guide on energy cleansing of the home.
Step 5: protection afterwards
After the unbinding, you keep what you have gained: a prayer morning and evening, clear boundaries with people who drain you, fresh air, rest. I gathered a simple routine in the guide on spiritual defences. For working with support, there is also the Unbindings from Spells book with the Musc and Protection Mix oils.
Ways to break spells: what works and what doesn't
| What you can do | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Doctor, tests, psychologist | rules out and treats the ordinary causes |
| Confession, sacraments, house blessing | the way of the Church for believers |
| Unbindings over salt, 30 days | changes your state and puts you in a position of power |
| Cleansing the home | gives you a peaceful space |
| Protection routine | keeps what you have gained |
| Support from good people | you don't carry it alone |
| What to avoid | Why |
|---|---|
| “Witches” who ask for large sums and guarantee results | no one can guarantee; many live off people's fear |
| Pouring molten lead | lead fumes are toxic, risk of burns |
| Mercury (“quicksilver”), powders, mixtures | toxic |
| Fire in the house, unattended candles | fire risk |
| Accusing relatives or neighbours | it breaks families, often unjustly |
| Giving up treatment | you may worsen a real illness |
Who breaks spells?
In the Orthodox tradition, the priest, through the prayers of the Church, but also you, through repentance, prayer and changing your life. In personal spiritual work, you are the one who says the unbindings; no one can do them in your place in the long run. If you feel you need guidance, you can work with a trustworthy person who does not promise you miracles and does not keep asking for more money. With us, an individual session with Cristina is booked and paid only on the website and requires preparation with the unbindings and the oil, so that you do the work yourself, not just “receive”.
When you need urgent help
- If you have thoughts that you no longer want to live, call 112 (the emergency number across the EU) or your local emergency number.
- If you live in a relationship where you are threatened, humiliated or hit, call 112 or your country's free helpline for victims of domestic violence (in Romania, 0800 500 333).
- If you have strong physical symptoms (chest pain, fainting, unexplained weight loss), see a doctor or go to the emergency department.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get rid of a spell quickly?
There is no “quick”, guaranteed method, and whoever promises you one usually wants money. You can feel relief quickly if you rest, pray, clean up and start the unbindings, but the process usually takes a few weeks. Patience and consistency matter more than speed.
What is spell unbinding?
Spell unbinding means undoing, through prayer or through phrases said with intention, what you feel has been “bound” on you. In the Church it is done through the sacraments and the prayers read by a priest; in personal work, through unbindings said over salt, usually for 30 days.
Can I break a spell on my own?
Yes. Spoken unbindings, personal prayer, cleansing your home and taking care of yourself are things you can do alone. The prayers from the Book of Needs, however, are read by a priest. If the reactions are too strong or the fear does not pass, ask for the support of a spiritual father, a psychologist or someone you trust.
How long does it take to get rid of a spell?
Unbinding protocols usually last 30 days; some people work longer. Relief comes gradually. There is no guaranteed timeframe. What matters is consistency, rest, prayer and the concrete changes you make in your life.
Which prayer is good against spells?
For believers: the Lord's Prayer, Psalm 90 (91), prayers to the Mother of God and to the Holy Archangel Michael, and the deliverance prayers of Saint Basil the Great read by a priest. You can also pray in your own words. Your spiritual father is the best guide.
Instead of a conclusion
You are not at anyone's mercy. Whether it is a spell or a hard season, the way back to yourself is the same: care, prayer, cleansing, good people and small steps, day by day. Start tonight, gently.
