Proper banishing is necessary before beginning any magickal operation?
To walk into a room and do a magickal working, without cleansing the space of the energies present – the residual energies from a Saturday night party, for instance – is to stir up energies one may not wish to deal with, or expect to deal with. By “neutralizing” the area first, the space is then more conducive to successful magickal operations.
