I’m curious how people approach banishment or separation rituals when the conflict involves a difficult coworker. Do you treat the ritual as symbolic support, or pair it with practical steps at work?
How do you think about banishment work around workplace conflict?

I’d keep the ritual focused on creating distance and a calmer workplace, rather than trying to cause someone harm. That leaves room for the situation to resolve through ordinary changes, like a transfer or a decision to leave, without making the intention more punitive than it needs to be.

Whatever someone believes about spellwork, it’s worth separating that from what can be verified. A coworker leaving after a ritual doesn’t tell us why they left or whether the ritual caused it. If their behavior is affecting the job, document specific incidents and raise them through the appropriate workplace channels.

For a practical version, I’d make the working about boundaries: less unwanted contact, clearer responsibilities, and a healthier team dynamic. Then take the mundane steps too. Keep communication factual, follow workplace procedures, and don’t tamper with anyone’s belongings or work materials.

That distinction makes sense. I’d want to avoid treating timing as proof, especially when the reasons for someone leaving aren’t known.
