This article is about a Thelema topic

In the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) must be learned by the Neophyte before moving on to the next grade (Zelator).

For actual workings, Aleister Crowley recommends a short, general banishing, with a comment that "in more elaborate ceremonies it is usual to banish everything by name." Crowley also recommended that Thelemites in Liber Aleph vel CXI do a banishing ritual at least once daily.

In Wicca and various forms of neopaganism, banishing is performed before casting a magic circle to purify the area where the ritual or magic is about to occur. In his book Nocturnal Witchcraft, for example, Konstantinos recommends performing banishings regularly to keep the magical workspace free of negativity and to become proficient in banishing before attempting acts that are much more spiritually taxing on the body, such as magical spellworking.
