The following was modified from text taken from an ancient Assyrian tablet:

Ban! Ban! Barrier That None Can Pass,
Barrier of the Gods, That None May Break,
Barrier of Heaven and Earth That None Can Change,
Which No God May Annul,
Nor God Nor Man Can Loose,
A snare without escape, set for evil,
A Net Whence None Can Issue Forth, spread for evil.
Whether it be evil Spirit, or evil Demon, or evil Ghost,
or evil Devil, or evil God, or evil Fiend, or Hag-Demon,or Ghoul, or Robber-Sprite,
or Phantom, or Night-Wraith, or Handmaid of the Phantom,
or evil Plague, or Fever-Sickness, or Unclean Disease,
Or That Which Would Do Harm In Any Form or Fashion
Which hath attacked the shining waters of Ea, {Chaldean River God}
May The Snare of Ea Catch It;
Or which hath assailed the meal of Nisaba, {Chaldean Harvest Goddess}
May The Net of Nisaba Entrap It;
Or which hath broken the Barrier,
Let not the Barrier of the Gods,
The Barrier of Heaven and Earth, let it go free;
Or which reverenceth not the Great Gods,
May the Great Gods Entrap It,
May the Great Gods Curse It;
Or which attacketh the house,
Into a Closed Dwelling May They Cause It To Enter;
Or which circleth round about,
Into a Place Without Escape May They Bring It;
Or which is shut in by the House Door,
Into a House Without Exit May They Cause It To Enter;
With Door and Bolt, a Bar Immovable,
May They Withhold It;
Or which bloweth in at the Threshold and Hinge,
Or which forceth a way through bar and latch,
Like water May They Pour It Out,
Like a goblet May They Dash It In Pieces,
Like a tile May They Break It;
Or which passeth over the wall,
Its wing May They Cut Off;
Or which lieth in a chamber,
Its throat May They Cut;
Or which looketh in at a side chamber,
Its face May They Smite;
Or which muttereth in a chamber,
Its mouth May They Shut;
Or which roameth loose in an upper chamber,
With a Basin Without Opening May They Cover It;
Or which at dawn is darkened,
At Dawn to a Place of Sunrise May They Take It.

Off with you! Spirits of fear, Spirits of death!
Give way to the Sun and the Moon!
For this is a place made safe!
Bright Blessings and Peace Upon Us!
And All Who Reside Here
Let None Enter Here Unbidden,
Keep Harm and Fear Far From This Place,
May God and Goddess Keep and Bless US!
So Mote It So!
So Mote It BE!!!

This spell should be performed on the night of the full moon, and is a very intricate spell, to perform it, all the portals, doors and windows should be open, including closets and cabinets, then as you start, close the doors on the closets and cabinets, after you have made the sign of the banishing pentagram with your wand, athame or hand {a stick of patchouli incense may be substituted}. It is a good idea to have a temporary altar set up, with a good amount of commanding incense, as well as some patchouli and sandalwood. Music should be light. Once you have done the closets, and cabinets, go from window to window, and outline the banishing pentagram, then close the window, and latch it, remember if you have a fireplace to do it as well, perhaps even burn some incense in it. Once the windows have been secured, do the inside doors that lead from room to room, then when you reach the entry ways, state the last ten lines. If performed correctly, you will notice the difference in atmospheres from the outside compared to the inside, the moment you walk into the house or apartment...
