Banishing and binding spells can be very useful in ridding yourself of negative people and energies that they send into you're life. These spells, when done right, will often discourage the targeted person from contacting you and causing you any more harm or strife.
The purpose of this ritual is to rid yourself of somebody who is mentally or emotionally abusing you. It's similar to my banishing ritual.
Materials:
Cloth poppet, leave the head unstitched until you are ready to begin the ritual
Needle and thread
Some personal item from the person you want to bind (fingernail clippings, hair, handwriting sample)
Black ribbon
Black candle
Cauldron or other fireproof container
Sterilized needle
Piece of paper and pen
One candle at each quarter (optional)
Ritual:
Call the quarters - I like to use candles at each quarter to form a circle of fire for extra protection.
Light the black candle
Concentrating deeply on the person you are binding, place the personal object inside the head of the poppet and sew it shut.
Tie the black ribbon around the poppet's head, signifying the binding of that person.
''With harm to none, my will be done
I hereby bind you (name of person)
Your words cannot harm me
Your thoughts cannot harm me
You cannot harm me''
Continue chanting this or something like it until you feel power surging through you. Visualize the person helpless to slander or verbally and mentally abuse you while you are chanting.
Now, to bind the spell -
If you have a sigil or a Craft name, sign it on the small piece of paper. If not, sign your own full name. If others are working the ritual with you, they too should sign the paper.
With the sterilized needle, prick one of your fingers and put a small drop of blood over your signature. Again, if others are working with you, they should place a drop of blood over their signatures. (using a different needle, of course)
Fold the paper, light it on fire and drop it into the cauldron (which should be on a heat-proof surface!).
Meditate on the flames until the paper completely burns away. If you are working with a group, join hands at this point and feel the power surging around the circle as the spell is bound.
Ground and close the circle. Thank the Goddess and God for their protection and power
Discard the poppet as far away from you as possible within the next few days.

Statement of purpose
I am here to banish negative influences from my life.
Right now, (name) is exerting an extremely negative force upon me. I ask for the God and Goddess to assist me in banishing these forces and eliminating his/her destructiveness.
Consecrate the cauldron as follows
sprinkle with salt water
recite:
In the name of the Lord and Lady I charge you to serve me within this circle.
I clear you of all former influences and energies that you may be fit for the workings of Magick herein.
Do the same with the candle
On a piece of paper, write full name of person to be banished. Roll up and tie with black string. Sprinkle with salt water and recite
Thou creature of paper.
By paper made, by paper changed.
Thou art not paper, but thou art negative influences in (person to be bound).
So mote it be!
Light the black candle.
Burn the paper in the candle, visualizing all negative power over you vanishing in the flames and rising out of your world with the smoke
Sprinkle basil and garlic over the flames and recite:
Blazing force of cleansing fire
Help me in this rite.
By air and earth,
water and fire
So be you bound
With this rite,
Your power takes flight
Sky and sea,
Keep harm from me
Cord go round,
Power be bound
Your negativity will no longer come my way.
From henceforth, your power over me is banished.
So Mote it Be!
Let paper burn itself out while visualizing a healthy, positive relationship with the person
