Expulsio Umbrae Inimicae: The Rite of Shadow Expulsion and Sovereign Protection.

In the practice of Shadow Witchcraft, as well as Vampirism, one must recognize the eternal war between the currents of darkness and the forces that seek to disrupt or pervert that sacred current. Whether these forces be spiritual parasites, astral predators, or disruptive energies, it is of paramount importance that the practitioner knows how to expel such forces from their sphere of influence.

This banishing ritual, Expulsio Umbrae Inimicae, is a formal defence to reclaim sovereignty over the self, cleanse the ritual space, and sever any threads that might bind the practitioner to unwanted presences. It is not a ritual of petty exorcism, but rather an act of regal dominion, a statement that the boundary of self shall not be crossed by those not invited.

The ritual is performed at the close of any shadow work — after a feeding, an invocation, or when the practitioner has reason to believe that hostile or parasitic energies have latched onto their aura or are lingering nearby. It is often performed under the light of a waxing or full moon, when the power of banishment can be made absolute.

Purpose:

The purpose of Expulsio Umbrae Inimicae is to sever the link between the practitioner and any malevolent entities or energies that seek to interfere with their work or their spiritual sovereignty. It serves as a final safeguard after a ritual, marking the boundary between the practitioner’s personal realm and all other forces that are not of their own choosing.
