Q&A: Removing a Nasty Neighbor

The following question is exerpted from a client of mine’s email who had a wonderful place to live…until the neighbors from Hell moved in next door. They weren’t mean, just terribly loud, filthy, and obnoxious. The client didn’t seek to cause the neighbors harm…just to get them to move away. Names have been removed for privacy reasons.

Dear Cat,

About a month ago these people moved downstairs from me. At first I just thought that they were a little loud but they seemed very nice so I just let it go. Now a few months later their are bags of trash outside their apt with flies around them, lots of loud drunk people in and out their aprtment at all hours. They are just gross and I dont really want to hurt them but just make them leave because this was a nice place to live before they moved in and the other tenants feel like I do. These people are pigs and we want our nice building back. The landlord wont do anything…

…what can I do to make these people leave us all alone without hurting them. I dont wnat to curse them but just get them to leave…

First off, if you, the reader, should know that if you have this situation, you should try speaking to your landlord and/or to the “bad” neighbors you so dislike. I have only personally once had the situation where the bad neighbors were so bad that I was even afraid to talk to them since the guy had no issue hitting anyone – male or female. Myself and 3 others complained to the slumlord (as that place was a vile slum,) and amazingly enough, the slumlord eventually kicked those people out. This was truly amazing, since the unevolved a–hole that ran that place let just about everything illegal and/or bad go on in that crapshack apartment complex. (Can you tell that it was the worst place I ever lived?)

But in this client’s situation, she did try several mundane things to remove the bad neighbors, and nothing worked. Turning to magic/k in this case is certainly acceptable. Today I will share a couple incredibly easy charms to rid yourself of these folks, and on the off-chance the simple ones don’t work, there are a few simple Hoodoo tricks to lay down as well. 😉

The easiest and most common charm: Four Theives Vinegar Spell:

You will need:

A small bottle,

A slip of paper or a popsicle stick,

A pen,

Four Theives Vinegar (to make this yourself you will need red wine vinegar, about 2 tsp rosemary, about 2 tsp sage, a pinch of rue – if you have it, so that’s optional, – and 3 cloves of fresh garlic;)

Something to seal the bottle top like waterproof tape or wax (optional.)

This is easy… Write the name of the person/s who you want to move away on the paper or popsicle stick while you think of them, and put it into the bottle. Fill the bottle with four theives vinegar, and seal it so it cannot open. Now throw the bottle into a river or moving water, and walk away without ever looking back. They should soon move.

Another variation of this, and an even easier one is the soap spell.

You will need:

A bar of soap,

A nail or sharp object.

Carve the name of the person/s who you want out of your life into the soap with the sharp object while picturing them leaving. Now throw the soap into a river or running water. You may wish to yell: “Get out of my life!” or something similiar as you toss the soap into the river. Now walk away without looking back. They should soon move or at the very least no longer bother you as the soap naturally melts in the water.

Well, if the SOB’s are still bugging you in a week or so, try to acquire some Goofer Dust or Hot Foot Powder. There are several recipies for both, but you do want the genuine deal, so either purchase it from Mama Ambota at SpellSpinner.com, purchase it from Cat Yronwode at LuckyMojo.com, or you can make your own. I will give you my base recipie for Goofer here:

Goofer Dust:
1 part sulphur, 1 part red pepper, 1 part salt, 1 part Graveyard Dust (this actually needs to be properly acquired from a graveyard, so don’t get the fake stuff from a bad store or try to get this yourself if you don’t know how,) 1 or 2 dead bugs (look in your light fixtures and on window sills, and get the creepy ones no one wants crawling about on them like beetles, earwigs, etc.) This is my basest recipie for Goofer. It’s sort of like telling you how to make a meatloaf…there is a lot more you can add depending on the situation and your own preferences. If you want to just get more of a Hot Foot feel to it, omit the bugs and Graveyard Dirt, and that should work fine for Hot Foot…however, I still highly recommend that you purchase this from a reputable Hoodoo seller if you do not know how to make your own.

You will need a time when your nasty neighbors and no one else is around. Sprinkle the Goofer or Hot Foot powder around their doorway, and around the outside of their house and on thier driveway if it is a seperate residence. Be sure to “tell” the powder while you sprinkle it who its intended target is. Ie: “I place this Goofer for John Smith, that it torment and trouble him until he moves far, far away from here.” Be creative, as what you say is up to you. Be sure that the powder is placed where the target will come in contact with it. You may lay this trick as often as you like until the end result is reached. However, – and I can’t emphasize this enough, – you MUST walk away without looking back after you have laid the trick, and you absolutely MUST tell the powder who its intended target is. The intended target should soon vacate the premisis.

There are more complex and more cruel ways of removing these folks, but those spells are for another day. These are simple and less-harmful than several others I know, so if you don’t “want to be mean,” try these first. 🙂 I hope this is a help to some of you who are suffering from bad neighbors.

Well my occultey fiends…erm, friends, that is all for today. Keep the questions coming!

Blessings!
