Malum Expello Candle: Banishing Negativity Magic Circle

Introduction: When It's Time to Clear the Darkness

You've tried ignoring it. You've tried rising above it. You've tried "sending it love and light."

But the negativity is still there. Clinging to your space. Weighing down your energy. Whispering in the corners of your mind.

Sometimes, love and light aren't enough. Sometimes you need fire.

Not to destroy. Not to harm. But to cleanse. To purify. To banish what no longer serves you and reclaim your sacred space.

That's where the Malum Expello Magic Circle Candle comes in.

Designed to banish negativity in all its forms—toxic energy, bad habits, unwanted attachments, psychic debris—this candle isn't about passive protection. It's about active expulsion. Taking back your power. Saying "No more" and meaning it.

In this guide, you'll learn exactly how Malum Expello works, the sacred geometry that creates expulsion energy, and the step-by-step ritual to banish negativity and reclaim your peace.

What is Malum Expello?

The Name

Malum Expello is Latin for "I banish evil" or "I expel harm." It's a command, not a request. A declaration of spiritual authority.

The Intention

This candle is designed to:

• Banish negative energy from your space and aura
• Remove toxic attachments and unhealthy patterns
• Clear psychic debris and energetic clutter
• Break bad habits and self-sabotaging behaviors
• Expel unwanted influences (people, thoughts, entities)
• Create a clean slate for new, positive energy to enter

Who It's For

• Anyone feeling weighed down by negative energy
• People stuck in toxic patterns or relationships
• Those who need to clear their space after conflict or illness
• Practitioners dealing with psychic attachments or unwanted spirits
• Anyone ready to release what no longer serves them

The Sacred Geometry: Outward-Pointing Triangles & Spirals

The Design

The Malum Expello candle features a unique geometric pattern: outward-pointing triangles and spirals that create a "push" energy.

Why This Pattern Works for Banishing

Outward-Pointing Triangles: Expulsion & Force

Unlike inward-pointing triangles (which draw energy in), outward-pointing triangles:

• Push energy away: Create a directional force that expels rather than attracts
• Command authority: The sharp points act like spiritual weapons, cutting through negativity
• Create momentum: The triangle's shape naturally directs energy outward and away
• Represent fire: The upward-pointing triangle is the alchemical symbol for fire—the element of transformation and purification

For banishing magic, this means: Negativity is actively pushed out of your space with force and authority.

Spirals: Continuous Expulsion

The spirals in the Malum Expello design move outward (not inward like abundance spirals). This represents:

• Continuous clearing: The banishing doesn't stop—it keeps pushing negativity away
• Unwinding: Negative patterns and attachments are unraveled and released
• Expansion of clean space: As negativity is expelled, your sacred space grows larger
• No return: The spiral carries negativity far away, preventing it from coming back

The Combined Power

When you combine outward triangles with outward spirals, you create:

• A powerful expulsion force
• Continuous, sustained banishing energy
• A pattern that doesn't just block negativity—it actively removes it
• A declaration: "This is my space. You are not welcome here."

Together, the pattern says: "All negativity is expelled from my space. It is pushed away with force and cannot return."

The Scent: Sage, Cedar & Eucalyptus

Why This Blend Works

Sage (Salvia officinalis)

• Energy: Purification, banishing, cleansing
• Banishing benefit: Clears negative energy and unwanted spirits; the most famous cleansing herb
• Magical history: Used by Indigenous peoples for smudging; sacred to many traditions
• Aromatherapy: Clarifying and purifying; creates a sense of clean, fresh energy

Cedar (Cedrus)

• Energy: Protection, purification, grounding
• Banishing benefit: Drives away negative influences while grounding you in strength
• Magical history: Used in Native American cleansing ceremonies; associated with longevity and resilience
• Aromatherapy: Grounding and centering; helps you feel rooted and unshakable

Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus)

• Energy: Healing, purification, breaking hexes
• Banishing benefit: Clears illness (physical and energetic); breaks through stagnant energy
• Magical history: Used in healing and protection spells; associated with the moon and water
• Aromatherapy: Refreshing and invigorating; clears mental fog and respiratory congestion

The Overall Effect

This blend creates a triple-action banishing system:

• Sage = Clears and purifies negative energy
• Cedar = Grounds and protects while banishing
• Eucalyptus = Breaks through stubborn negativity and heals

You're not just pushing negativity away—you're cleansing, healing, and fortifying at the same time.

How to Use Malum Expello: The Banishing Ritual

When to Perform This Ritual

• Waning Moon: As the moon decreases, so does negativity
• Dark Moon: The most powerful time for banishing work
• After a breakup or conflict: Clear the energetic residue
• When moving into a new space: Cleanse before you settle in
• After illness: Clear the sick energy from your space
• Saturdays: Saturn's day (banishing, endings, boundaries)
• Whenever you feel heavy or stuck: Trust your intuition

Step-by-Step Banishing Ritual

Step 1: Prepare Your Banishing Altar

Create a dedicated space for banishing work. Include:

• The Malum Expello candle (center)
• Black or white altar cloth (banishing or purification)
• Black obsidian, smoky quartz, or black tourmaline crystals (absorbing stones)
• A bowl of salt (for absorbing negativity)
• Dried sage, cedar, or eucalyptus (for smoke cleansing)
• A piece of paper and pen (to write what you're banishing)
• Optional: a small mirror (to reflect negativity away), protective sigils

Step 2: Write What You're Banishing

On the paper, write down everything you want to banish. Be specific:

• "I banish [person's name]'s negative influence from my life."
• "I banish my habit of self-sabotage."
• "I banish the energy of my ex from my home."
• "I banish fear, doubt, and anxiety."
• "I banish all negativity from this space."

Fold the paper away from you (symbolizing pushing it away).

Step 3: Activate the Sacred Geometry

Hold the candle in your hands. With your finger, trace the outward-pointing triangles and spirals on the candle's surface. As you trace, visualize the patterns glowing with white fire, pushing darkness away from you in all directions.

Say: "I activate this sacred circle. May its geometry expel all negativity from my space. What does not serve me is banished now."

Step 4: Light the Candle

As you light it, say:

"Malum Expello, I banish all harm,
From my space, from my life, from my calm.
By triangle's force and spiral's push,
All negativity leaves in a rush.
No toxic energy, no unwanted tie,
I command you: leave. Goodbye.
By fire and smoke, by will and word,
This banishing spell is now conferred."

Step 5: Burn the Paper

Carefully light the paper with the candle flame (use a fireproof dish). As it burns, visualize everything you wrote being consumed by fire and transformed into smoke that dissipates into nothing.

Say: "As this paper burns, so does your hold on me. You are released. You are gone. You cannot return."

Step 6: Smoke Cleanse Your Space

If you have dried sage, cedar, or eucalyptus, light it from the candle flame. Walk through your space (or around yourself), wafting the smoke into corners, doorways, and windows. Say:

"This smoke carries away all negativity. My space is cleansed. My energy is clear."

Step 7: Visualize the Expulsion

Sit with the candle for at least 15-20 minutes. Gaze at the flame and the geometric pattern. Visualize:

• Dark, heavy energy being pushed out of your space
• The outward spirals carrying negativity far, far away
• Your space filling with clean, white light
• Yourself standing in a purified, sacred space

Breathe in the sage, cedar, and eucalyptus scent. Feel it clearing your lungs, your mind, your aura.

Step 8: Speak Banishing Affirmations

While the candle burns, repeat these affirmations:

• "All negativity is banished from my space."
• "I release what does not serve me."
• "My energy is clear and clean."
• "I am free from toxic influences."
• "Only love and light may enter here."
• "I command negativity to leave and never return."
• "I am purified, protected, and free."

Step 9: Let It Burn

Allow the candle to burn for at least 1-2 hours. The longer it burns, the more thorough the banishing.

Step 10: Dispose of the Remains

When the candle is finished, take the ashes of the burned paper, any leftover wax, and the salt (which has absorbed negativity) and dispose of them OFF your property:

• Bury them at a crossroads
• Throw them in running water
• Dispose of them in a public trash can far from your home

Do NOT keep banishing remains in your space. Walk away without looking back.

Step 11: Cleanse Yourself

After the ritual, take a shower or bath with salt and eucalyptus oil. Visualize any residual negativity washing down the drain.

Advanced Banishing Techniques

The Freezer Banishing

Write the name of what you're banishing on paper. Place it in a jar of water and freeze it. Light the Malum Expello candle and say: "You are frozen out of my life." Keep it frozen until you're ready to dispose of it.

The Mirror Reversal

Place a mirror behind the Malum Expello candle, reflective side facing away from you. This sends negativity back to its source while the candle banishes it from your space.

The Cord-Cutting Ritual

Light the candle and visualize energetic cords connecting you to what you're banishing. Use scissors to physically cut the air between you and the candle, saying: "I cut all cords. I am free."

The Full Cleanse

Combine Malum Expello with a full space cleansing:

1. Open all windows and doors
2. Light the candle
3. Smoke cleanse every room
4. Sprinkle salt in corners
5. Ring bells or clap to break up stagnant energy
6. Close windows and let the candle burn
