Return To Sender Spell Song

The Return to Sender Spell Song was created to send unwanted, harmful, or malicious energy directed toward you back to where it originated. Rather than creating something new to throw at another person, this working focuses on identifying energy that was sent your way, rejecting it, and returning it to its source. The song itself is the spell, using the lyrics, intention, rhythm, and repetition to reinforce your boundaries and direct that energy away from you.

This spell song can be used as a stand-alone working, or it can be incorporated into The Ritual Song Set. When using the full set, play it after “Energy Raised and Held” and before “Spellcasting.” Focus the energy you've raised on removing and returning whatever has been directed toward you, allowing the song to perform that specific working before continuing with the rest of your ritual.

You don't need mirrors, candles, herbs, jars, or any of the other tools commonly used in return-to-sender work. You can simply listen, sing along if you'd like, and focus on the intention that anything sent against you that does not belong to you is rejected and returned to its source. If you already have a return-to-sender practice, you can also use the song alongside your usual tools to add another layer to the working.

These spell songs were created with accessibility in mind. They're especially useful for disabled witches, broom-closet witches, witches who can't safely use candles or smoke, witches who struggle with speaking or remembering incantations, or anyone who sometimes doesn't have the physical or mental energy for a more elaborate ritual. And sometimes you know damn well something isn't yours to carry—you just need the words to tell it where the hell to go.

Use it through headphones, sing along, meditate with it, play it during a traditional return-to-sender working, or use it completely on its own. The song is the spell. Your intention determines what you are refusing to carry and sending back.
