The crossbones amulet is excellent for removing negative energy, and breaking a hex or any negativity that is or has been sent your way.

The amulet itself is made from two small bones taken from chicken wings. The chicken bones actually absorb and hold negativity. The bones are tied together with black thread in the shape of a solar cross (an equal armed cross).

The procedure is as follows:

Using your basic altar layout, bring with you the following: two bones, black thread, a white candle, a bottle of Power Oil, and Gris-Gris Faible Incense. Light your altar candles, and light your incense. Dress your white candle with Power Oil, and light it. As you do, pray that the individual who will wear the crossbones will grow in spiritual strength and enlightenment.

Begin tying the two bones together with the black thread as you chant:

The crossbones will work here,
absorb and hold negativity.
Into your marrow, it goes in thee:
all evil and negativity.

Consecrate the amulet with this procedure. Sprinkle with Holy Water as you say:

With water do I consecrate this amulet,
an instrument which will absorb and hold negative energy
sent to its wearer.

Sprinkle the amulet with salt as you affirm.

With earth do I consecrate this amulet,
an instrument which will absorb and hold negative energy
sent to its wearer.

Pass the amulet through the candle flame as you affirm:

With fire do I consecrate this amulet,
an instrument which will absorb and hold negative energy
sent to its wearer.

Pass the amulet through the incense while affirming:

With air do I consecrate this amulet
an instrument which will absorb and hold negative energy
sent to its wearer.

Now that your amulet is completed, it should be worn over your heart next to your skin. Daily wear this amulet until your life improves decidedly for the better and you feel the negativity has been completely absorbed.

If, at any time, the amulet begins to feel heavy upon you heart chakra you must stop wearing the amulet. The crossbones have reached their maximum in absorbing negative energy, like a sponge that can soak up just so much water and that’s it. Since the excess negative energy being sent to you will not be able to enter the bones, it will have no choice but to attach itself to your aura. Once the old amulet is removed it must be discarded properly, and (if necessary) another one made.

Discarding the Old Amulet:

The safest method of doing this is through ritual. Using your basic altar layout, bring with you the following: your old amulet, the remainder of the white candle you used when you made the amulet, and a sheet of white paper.

Light your altar candles. Light some incense – something light and cheerful. Light your white candle. Sprinkle Holy Water on the white paper. Place the old crossbones amulet on the paper and begin folding the amulet in the paper.

Take your white candle and let the wax drip on the paper until it is completely sealed with the white wax as you affirm:

Crossbones you’ve served me well,
negative energy within you swells.
Now it’s time, I put you to rest,
for you have now done your best.

When the paper is completely covered with wax, the amulet can be burned in a fire, or discarded in the garbage. Follow with a bath.
