Tarot for Banishing: Cards, Spreads & Magical Uses | Ditch Witch Diaries

arot isn’t just for prediction — it’s a powerful tool for clearing, releasing, and banishing. In this video, we walk through Major and Minor Arcana cards with strong banishing energy, how to work with them in spells and readings, and how we personally interpret them (which may not be your standard “tarot book” meanings).

We’ll explore:

Major Arcana for banishing — The Hermit for reclaiming your space, Death for transformation and letting go, The Tower for breaking down what no longer serves, The Devil for revealing chains to be broken, and Justice for karmic and boundary-based banishments.

Swords — from the Ace’s decisive cut to the 10’s scorched-earth endings, plus the Queen’s fierce boundaries and the Knight’s swift action.

Wands — blowing away stagnant energy, defending your space, and moving stuck thoughts or intentions.

Cups — releasing grief, walking away from harmful attachments, and maintaining emotional mastery during removal.

Pentacles — leaving toxic environments, pruning what yields nothing, and methodically dismantling the unhelpful.

Tarot in spellwork — meditating on a card, choosing cards to represent what to banish, or creating a three-card spread for the “what, why, and how” of your banishment.

Whether you’re cutting cords, dismantling patterns, or protecting your boundaries, tarot can be a sharp and precise ally in banishing work — especially when approached with a blend of magical practice and unapologetically personal insight.
