The most important thing to remember when conducting a binding spell is that you must control your own violent emotions of hatred or fear. The binding spell is for protection only, not for harm. This is not easy. The Goddess to be employed is Arabia, Queen of Witches. Be sure you are honest in your intentions. Aradia's symbol is the red garter. If you desire justice call upon Maat, she who balances the scales. However, you must be sure that your own hands are free from violence & hatred, lest she weighs the scales for you as well! Her symbol is the pure white feather. 

The binding itself is a very simple matter. A puppet can be sewn to represent the malicious person. Fill it with earth (grave dirt if you can find it), rosemary, sage, a piece of smoky quartz & a piece of amethyst. Also enclose a piece of the person's fingernail, a lock of hair, or another personal item. Handwriting can be inclosed if you have nothing else. Photos can be used also. If your intention at any time during the ritual is to harm that person, remember that you will only bring harm to yourself-so be very, very careful. 

If you can't do the ritual right away, store the doll (with the head still open) in a white cloth. During the ritual, you will sew up the head while connecting a psychic link. Then you will proceed to sew arms & legs of the doll together. You will finish by wrapping the doll mummy-fashion with a black ribbon. Bury the doll when you have completed the ritual. 

A person can also be bound using mental capabilities. 

Placing a sample of a person's handwriting & copper tight in an old bell jar is a way of stopping malicious gossip. When the danger is over, burn the handwriting.
