1. PROCEDURE TO DESTROY OCCULTIC OR CURSED OBJECTS*

All cursed objects should be disposed of properly. All ties of the object with evil sources should be broken first, then sprinkled with holy water and holy oil. They are to be burned in a blessed fire if possible and the ashes collected and buried in a proper manner with a prayer. If burning is not possible, they should be first destroyed or dismembered and then safely buried.

Those biological fluids that were expelled by a person through the mouth can be safely thrown into the usual garbage container after the proper prayers of breaking of unholy ties, links, and curses and sprinkling with holy water and blessed oil. They are to be carefully wrapped before disposal and then burned buried in the ground, or washed by living water in a river or sea. Mixing them with usual garbage must be avoided as much as possible. Keep in mind that this procedure is not magic. The primary power of the sacramentals used in this ritual (holy water and St. Benedict medal) is in your faith.

The sacraments do have a secondary effect in that they are items that have been blessed and made holy by God. Demons do not like being around such things. In destroying the item so that it no longer resembles what it once was, removes the attachment that it had for the demons, or the curse, or spell, other attachment. This is a spiritual principle.

Even with blessed items like a Rosary, once the Rosary falls apart or is taken apart and no longer resembles a rosary, the blessing that was attached to the Rosary is no longer there. Burying the remains of the destroyed item in the ground, in the earth, symbolizes a cleansing from the good earth. Items that are biodegrador able and will not pollute, such as ashes remain ing after burning an item, may also be discarded the in rushing water, like a river or stream. Do not discard these items in your sewer system or thegarbage. There can be a risk sometimes in doing this Ritual.

The Ritual Can be done by a priest or lay faithful.

Bless the object with Holy Water, saying:

In the name of the † Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Cut the unholy ties links and bondages between the object and evil sources and spirits through the Prayer of Breaking of Unholy Ties.

Pray the following prayer over the item (If married, pray this together with your spouse, if possible):

Father in heaven, we ask You to bind and cast away from me (us) and my (our) entire family and all those who have come into contact with these materials any demonic entities that may have been attached to these materials. We plead the blood of Jesus over these materials and take back any ground the Evil One may have snatch from me (us) because of the presence of these materials in my (our) home. Strengthen, O Lord, the hedge of protection around me (each of us) and my (our) family. Bless me (us) and my (our) family, O Lord. Help is to love You more. I (We) also ask that You be with the person who gave me (us) these materials and free them from any bondage. Help them to understand Your ways and bless them. I (We) ask these things with the intercessions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, Blessed Archangels Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, St. Joseph, St. Nicholas, St. Dominic, and NN. (Patron Saint/s), my (our) Guardian Angel(s), and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and powerful in the Holy and Mighty name of your Son, Jesus  Christ, whose name causes hell to tremble. Amen.

Then, destroy the object so that it no longer resembles what it was. If it can be burned, then burn it. If it is glass, break it up into pieces. If it is metal break it in half if possible or otherwise damage it with a hammer perhaps. If it is made of wood, saw it in two, and if of some other material, rip it apart into small pieces, take it apart or damage it as best you can. If there is no way to destroy it, then tie a blessed palm branch on it, or a blessed St. Benedict on it.

If burying the object is possible, dig a hole in the ground and place the remains of the object in the hole. Sprinkle the remains with Holy Water once more. Then tie or place a blessed St. Benedict medal on top of the remains if not already done as in Step 4.

Fill in the hole burying the remains of the object. If the item is biodegradable and will not pollute, discarding it in a running river or stream may also be done.

With the object buried (or discarded in a river or stream), bless yourself with Holy Water and the Sign of the Cross, say an Our Father, and three Hail Marys.

Pray the following prayer to break any curses that may have attached to you by possessing this object (if married, each spouse is to pray this prayer separately):

In the name of the Lord Jesus † Christ, strengthened by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of St. Joseph, of Blessed Archangels Sts. Michael Gabriel, and Raphael, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, St. Nicholas, and St. Dominic, NN. (Patron Saint/s), my Guardian Angel and all the Saints, and powerful in the holy authority of His Precious and Wondrous Name, I ask, O Lord God, that You break and dissolve any and all curses, hexes, spells, seals, satanic vows and pacts, spiritual bondings and soul ties with satanic forces, evil wishes, evil desires, hereditary seals, snares, traps, lies, obstacles, deceptions, diversions, spiritual influences, and every dysfunction and disease from any source whatsoever, that have been placed upon me. Father in Heaven, please rebuke these evil spirits and their effects and cast them away from me so that I may continue to do Your Will and fulfill the mission You have for us to Your Greater Glory.

Thank You, Father, for hearing my (our) prayer. I (We) praise Your Holy Name and worship You and Love You. Thank You for the wisdom and light of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for enabling me (us) through Your Holy Spirit to be aggressive against the works of the enemy. Thank You for Your Hope that takes away discouragement; thank You for ongoing victory. “…in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Father, I (we) now place my (our) enemies into Your hands. Look with mercy upon them, and do not hold their sins against them. Anyone who has cursed me (us), I (we) now bless. Anyone who has hurt me (us), I (we) now forgive. For those who have persecuted (us), I (we) now pray:

Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be…

O My Sweet Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, and help especially those who are most in need of Your Mercy.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen and Amen.

Renounce your involvement in these things occultic, and/or your ownership of these items and take back the ground Satan stole as a result of your sin or in even the mere ownership of the object (if married, each spouse is to pray this prayer separately):

Dear Heavenly Father, strengthened by the intercession of the Most Immaculate Mother of Our God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, of St. Joseph, of Blessed Archangels Sts. Michael Gabriel, and Raphael, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, St. Nicholas, St. Dominic, NN. (Patron Saint/s), my Guardian Angel and all the Saints, and Angels in Heaven, and powerful in the holy authority if His Name, I cancel all ground that evil spirits have gained in my life and in the lives of my family through my willful involvement in sin (or, have gained by my ownership of _[name object]). I reclaim that ground and my life for Christ. Amen.

If sin were committed (in using the object), then confess that in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

At your earliest opportunity go to Mass and offer your life, family, and property to God.
