Many people at some point wonder about the presence of negative energies affecting their lives, sometimes even suspecting a hex or curse.

Often, what feels like a hex is simply a streak of bad luck or self-generated negative energy. Regardless of the source, there are methods, rooted in practices like kitchen witchcraft, to cleanse and dispel this negativity. If you’re feeling weighed down and are searching for how to remove a hex, this guide offers simple spells to help you regain control and peace.
Spell to Break a Hex
If you’re convinced you’ve been hexed and are looking for ways on how to remove a hex, this spell is designed to sever that negative connection and send it back to its origin. This is a form of energetic return to sender, aiming to neutralize the hex’s influence on you.
Ingredients:
- A sprig of rosemary (known for protection and cleansing)
- A piece of paper
- A red pen (red symbolizes energy and reversal)

- Red cotton thread
Instructions:
-
Keep the rosemary with you as you perform this spell. This acts as a continuous protective charm during the ritual.
-
On the piece of paper, write the name of the person you believe hexed you. If the person is unknown, write “enemy mine.” This focuses the spell’s intention.
-
Using the red pen, draw a simple doll shape around the name and carefully cut it out. This doll represents the source of the hex.
-
Place the paper doll face down on the red cloth.
-
Sprinkle the doll generously with paprika or chili pepper. These spices add heat and energy to repel the hex.

Tie the red cotton thread around the middle of the doll, binding the spell.

Hold the wrapped doll in your hands, close your eyes, and recite the following chant for seven consecutive nights:
Enemy of mine your power is gone
The hex is broken, the spell undone
Enemy mine go away
So shall it be from this day
This spell will last until your apology sets you free by me
This is my will, so mote it be -
After chanting for seven nights, unwrap the doll.
-
Tear the paper doll into nine pieces, symbolizing complete destruction of the hex.

Scatter the ashes away from your home, symbolically removing the negative energy from your space.
-
Dispose of the red cloth, releasing any remaining negative attachments.
Spell to Undo a Binding Spell
Sometimes, negative energy manifests as a feeling of restriction or being bound. If you feel inexplicably constrained, as if by invisible threads, you might be experiencing the effects of a binding spell. This spell provides a method for How To Remove Hex related to these binding sensations and regain your freedom.
Ingredients:
- A small piece of your own hair (representing your personal energy and connection to the spell)

Take the sterile pin and gently prick your right index finger.

Squeeze three drops of blood onto the burning incense. Blood is a potent personal offering, amplifying the spell’s power.
-
Next, drop your piece of hair onto the incense. As it burns, it symbolically releases you from the binding.

Recite the following chant:
My blood drops times three
This binding shall no longer be
The hair that burns is part of me
Allow me now to be bind free -
Allow the incense to burn out completely.

Any curses placed on me
I now bury in the earth deeply

Bury the bottle in your garden or in a pot of soil if you don’t have a garden. Burying symbolizes grounding and neutralizing the curse within the earth.

Leave it buried for a period of time. Three, six, or nine days are suggested as these numbers are often considered magically significant.

After the chosen period, unearth the bottle.
-
Hold it in your hands and say:
The curse was buried deep
The hold over me can take a leap -
Carefully smash the bottle. Breaking the container symbolizes breaking the curse’s hold on you.
