If you have no experience and nothing set up, first find out how to cleanse your space of unwanted spiritual influence, and how to banish it if it happens, this is called having good spiritual hygiene and is important.
When you have your space ready and the tools to work with, then use a petition spell.
Assumed to be so basic no one talks about it until beginners get a problem and wonder why, and six people say “cleanse and banish, set up wards, take care of your spiritual hygiene”.
This megathread collects our favourite cleaning, banishing and self protection preventative techniques.
Some are fix and forget/maintain occasionally, like wards, some are for on the spot emergency use.
My top book recommendation for this work has to be Robert Bruce’s The Practical Psychic Self-Defense Handbook: A Survival Guide. (This one is a basic that is worth knowing for all mages, really)… click the image for it’s Amazon listing:

In ancient Greece, the petitioner would call upon the gods of the underworld. The Letter to Lilith method of our own mighty @succupedia is an excellent example of a petition spell.
So, how do we write an effective petition spell?
In his book, The Casting of Spells, author Christopher Penczak states that the petition spell has six parts:
Announcement - here you state your name, either your magical one, or your given name. Both are effective. You are announcing yourself to the Powers
Evocation - here you evoke the powers that you are petitioning to bring forth your desire
Intent - this is the meat of the petition, the declaration of the d…
This forum has ten years of tutorials and discussions, the magnifying glass at top right will help you find all sorts here. If you’re going to get into magick I do recommend reading around the subject before jumping in, it’ll save hassle later.
