🪞 Mirror Reversal Spell: A Return-to-Sender Baneful Ritual
Some people can’t help themselves — gossip, hexes, bad vibes, the evil eye, whatever flavour of nastiness they’re sending your way. A Mirror Reversal is one of the oldest tricks in the witch’s grimoire to bounce that energy right back where it came from. No overthinking, no moralising. Just a clean little “Not today, darling.” ✨
This is perfect when you feel slimed by someone else’s energy, when protection charms alone aren’t cutting it, or when you simply want instant karmic delivery service.
🔮 What a Mirror Reversal Does
Think of it as magical judo. Instead of fighting, you redirect. Whatever was aimed at you — jealousy, lies, curses — reflects off your mirror and heads back to its source. You don’t add fuel; you just hand their parcel back to the sender.
📅 Best Timing
- Tuesday (Mars) → for fire, fight, and fast action
- Saturday (Saturn) → for banishing and boundaries
- Waning Moon → perfect for pushing energy away
- New Moon → a clean slate reset if you want to stop the cycle
✨ What You’ll Need
- A small mirror (compact, hand mirror, or framed)
- Black candle (banish & block)
- White candle (purity & clarity)
- Salt or crushed eggshell for a protective circle
- Optional: banishing oil, rosemary, peppercorns, or clove
- Marker/lipstick for sigils or writing
- Fire-safe dish + matches
- A taglock (their name on paper works fine) if you know the source
🕯 The Spell
- Cleanse yourself and your space. Smoke, bells, or salt water — whatever works.
- Ward the space. Draw a salt circle or sprinkle crushed eggshells around your altar.
- Prepare the candles. Dress the black with banishing oil (pepper if you’re spicy). Leave the white plain for clarity.
- Sigil it up. On the back of the mirror, draw a return-to-sender sigil or write:
“What you send is what you keep. Return to sender, swift and deep.” - Set the scene. Place the mirror facing outward. White candle in front (your side). Black candle behind (their side).
- Light the way. Light the white, then the black. Say aloud:
“What was sent is now returned. Not mine, but yours. So mote it be.” - If you’ve got a name paper, slip it behind the mirror on their side — never facing you.
- Let it burn for 13 minutes (or until you feel the shift). Snuff, don’t blow.
Repeat for 3 nights if the energy feels sticky.
🔍 Reading the Signs
- Black candle crackling/smoking → resistance, their energy is strong. Do it again.
- White candle burns steady and clean → your field is clear.
- Mirror fogs/condenses → the work is moving. Cleanse again afterwards.
- Wax runs toward the mirror → strong return underway.
🪞 Variations
- Compact Carry → Sigil inside a makeup compact. Keep it shut in your bag for passive bounce-back.
- Mirror Jar → Broken mirror shards + black salt + peppercorns + thorns in a jar. Seal the lid, shake it when you feel targeted.
- String-Cut Add-On → Tie a thread between white (you) and black (them) across the mirror. Burn it through to symbolically sever.
🧹 Aftercare
- Take a cleansing bath or shower with salt, rosemary, or lemon.
- Wipe down the mirror with vinegar water. Store it face-in wrapped in black cloth.
- Wax scraps? Bury away from home or drop at a crossroads. Never keep baneful remnants lying around.

✨ Final Note
This isn’t about being vindictive. It’s about boundaries. You’re not hexing them — you’re refusing their invitation to drama and sending their baggage right back. Wards first, always.
