Miller's Daily Practice
Maintain a stable, protected baseline through a short daily three-part routine — sitting meditation, a banishing/clearing rite, and an offering to local/guardian spirits — as the foundation of an ongoing practical-sorcery practice.
Miller’s daily practice: Every day, in order — (1) sit and meditate to steady the mind; (2) perform a short banishing to clear and centre your space; (3) make a small offering (water, incense, food) to local/guardian spirits as respect and reciprocity. Keep it short and do it daily; build advanced protective work on top of this stable base. Read honestly: a daily self-regulation stack — meditation, centring ritual, and gratitude.
What it is
Jason Miller’s Protection & Reversal Magick is a manual of practical “sorcery” — defending against and undoing magical and mundane troubles — but its backbone is a simple daily maintenance routine that he recommends to everyone, not just witches.
It rests on three points: meditation, banishing, and offering. Rather than waiting for a crisis, the practitioner keeps a stable, “clean,” protected baseline by sitting in meditation, performing a short clearing/banishing rite, and making a small offering to local land-spirits or guardian powers — every day.
Read honestly, it is a compact, sustainable daily self-regulation and commitment practice: meditation for steadiness, a banishing for centring and boundaries, and an offering for gratitude and reciprocity.
The Method
Miller’s three-part daily practice:
- Meditation (steady the mind). A short period of sitting — settling the body, following the breath, and quieting mental chatter. This builds the concentration and equanimity that everything else relies on.
- Banishing (clear and bound the space). A brief clearing rite — Miller teaches several, and any reliable banishing (such as a pentagram clearing or his own forms) serves — to “sweep” the space and psyche, centre the practitioner, and establish a clean, protected baseline. Done daily, it becomes an automatic “entering ritual space” cue.
- Offering (reciprocate and appease). A simple offering to local/land spirits or guardian powers — water, incense, food, or drink — as an act of respect and reciprocity, “keeping the peace” with one’s environment and inviting goodwill.
- Consistency over intensity. The point is daily repetition: a modest routine done every day beats an elaborate one done rarely. From this stable base, more advanced protective or sorcerous work (amulets, decoys, summoning guardians, reversals) can be added as needed.

Specific banishing forms vary; the three-point structure is his.)
Source & Lineage
Jason Miller (pen name Inominandum) is a contemporary practitioner and teacher of the Strategic Sorcery current, drawing on Western ceremonial magic, witchcraft, folk magic, and Tibetan Buddhist influences.
Protection & Reversal Magick (2006; revised and expanded 2023) presents the daily meditation/banishing/offering routine as the foundation on which all defensive and practical magic is built, addressed to “witches, ceremonial magicians, rootdoctors, and anyone else who puts magick to practical use.” → suggested node; related.
Common refinements
Skipping it until there’s a crisis. The value is preventive and cumulative; an unused routine offers no baseline when trouble hits.
- Over-elaboration. Trying to do a long, ornate version daily leads to burnout; keep it short and actually do it every day.
- Mechanical, attention-less repetition. Mumbling through with no presence guts the meditation and the rite.
- Treating banishing as armour against real danger. It is psychic/ritual hygiene, not protection against physical, financial, or legal threats — handle those directly.
- Neglecting the offering as “the soft part.” The reciprocity/gratitude element is doing real psychological work; don’t drop it.
