Good Riddance!

(anon.)

A good spell for getting rid of an unwanted suitor, or unwanted 

attentions. Take a piece of paper and write on it the name of the 

would-be lover. Use black ink for this. Let the ink dry, don't blot 

it. Then light a white candle and burn the piece of paper in its 

flame while thinking of the person running away from you. Catch the 

ashes in something (ashtray, cauldon, etc.) and carry them outside. 

Place the ashes in the palm of your right hand and hold it up, saying:

Winds of the North, East, South and West,

Carry these affections* to where they'll be best. 

Let his heart be open and free, 

And let his mind be away from me.

Blow on the ashes so that they scatter to the winds. Good Riddance!

(* In some cases, the word "attentions" may be substituted here.)
