I know that a spell can not replace medical help. I also know that this pandemic is sweeping across the world and I dont expect it to simply vanish in a flash of light.
What I am looking for are healing (or banishing) spells, just to put some healing energy. I know its best to create ones own spell. But Im looking for suggestions on simple rituals, incantations and ideas to create one. Should anyone want to join me in creating this spell, or participating in it (from their own homes of course), I would be absolutely delighted.

Boosting the immune system and simply washing your hands often are two great ways to start protecting yourself and the world from the virus. Warm salt water mouth rise to kill germs, viruses, and bacteria in the mouth and throat help to keep the immune system healthy. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth unless you just washed them. Ingest natural forms of garlic and ginger to help boost the immune system. Local honey with cinnamon is also a good natural food with lots to help the body fight off disease. Personally I also charge and bless my items prior to consumption. Be sure to reduce processed sugars in the diet as well, they feed the other side while harming the body's defenses. Probiotics will help to keep your digestive track functioning and ridding the body of waste including those germs, viruses, and bacteria that the immune system has killed. Smudging the air often with white sage will also help to kill the germs, viruses, and bactria in the air. Diffusing oils of clove, orange, and rosemary will also help to clean the air and boost the immune system.
One can anoint a candle on an altar to the mother placing offerings to the divine to help us all heal from the pain of this world. The world has been doing this type of spell work for thousands of years through hard times use this to connect with the ancestors let them hear our thoughts, our prayers.
It seems this whole coronavirus is the result of some ritual or spell, this is not natural. It is definetly biological warfare but there has to be something more to it. It's as if pandora's box has been opened
When you hear hoof-beats, think of horses not unicorns. Because odds are the creature making the sound is a horse, or maybe even a zebra. What I'm getting at is, don't always seek magical explanations for mundane things. SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) has existed for a very long time, we just happen to have inadvertently come across a particularly infectious strain of it with Covid-19, due to some seemingly unusual dietary choices someone made for reasons unknown to myself. Epidemics and Pandemics come and they go, all throughout our history they have, and shall continue to do so. This virus is not an exception, our response just seems to be, not because Covid-19 is so much more dangerous than other pandemics we've suffered through, but because we learned from past pandemics. We are now acting in a way to try and prevent it from becoming something that will be remembered decades from now. We are trying to avoid ending up in the history books. So it may seem quite frightening, being told to stay indoors and what-have-you, but it isn't because it's so horribly dangerous to the majority of healthy adults, but because the threat it poses to those who might not be healthy enough to combat it. Because we've learned from our past pandemics, and are behaving accordingly.

There was a group casting on Saturday, but you can always cast too. Light a white candle and send out energy to heal and protect, not just people, but the planet [as the earth is now healing since most humans are in self-isolation] The best medicine is to self-isolate, quarantine if you're sick, stay inside, wash your hands, sneeze/cough into your elbow [never your hand] and keep a bottle of hand sanitizer handy if you're out. That's really all we can do.
Of course, you can take this time to clean/cleanse your home, start a new routine, meditate, read, there are so many things you can do. Personally, while I'm cleaning like normal at this time of year [I'm kind of a clean freak, so regardless of what time of year, I would be cleaning my apartment if I was inside] I'm also meditating more, reading more, got back into yoga, best of all, I'm actually having a "staycation" and relaxing. And, unless you're area is in lockdown, or you're sick, you can go for a walk. I live by 2 wooded paths and have gone for a walk every evening. I've only come across 3 people in the past 5 days [and they were on the sidewalk with their dogs]
Based on Tibetan Buddhist practices, there are many methods to pacifying diseases (especially ones like COVID-19). Please feel free to do whichever of the following practices you'd like. Throughout all of these, make sure to have a compassionate motivation not only for yourself, but for others as well. The root of all practices is to have the bodhicitta intention, so generate that first. More on on bodhicitta in the next link:
https://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/buddhist-practice/bodhicitta.html
https://www.bodhicittasangha.org/teaching-on-bodhicitta/
https://www.buddhistinquiry.org/article/cultivating-bodhicitta/
By Smoke
One notable method is by an incense/smoke practice called "Riwo Sangchod" that serves as a method of pacifying and repelling, in which case, it not only pacifies the environment, it also pacifies our general contamination and disrespect of the environment alongside any violations or offenses we have committed against spirits, deities, etc. This practice, however, does require a lung transmission, which is an oral transmission by a lama (teacher) in order for it to work (especially the prayers and mantras in it). If there's any Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist teacher near you (whether it be a Nyingmapa, Sakyapa, Kagyupa, Bonpo, or Gelugpa, though be careful as certain teachers have controversial connections to pro-Shugden groups like the New Kadampa or Tsem Rinpoche that the Dalai Lama has recommended best not getting oneself involved nor in trouble with).
Green Tara
Another method has been recommended by the Dalai Lama himself, which is to recite the mantra of the enlightened, compassionate Buddhist goddess, Green Tara, who is called for all sorts of things from healing to protection to pacification and much more. Her mantra is:
"Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha"
You can find more instruction on how to recite this in the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnZwZ6Ej69k
Here are Tara's 21 Prayers you can also recite:
https://21tara.net/
(Note: again, it's better to receive an oral transmission by a lama to recite these prayers and mantra; Green Tara mantra can work even without receiving a transmission, but it's far more powerful and beneficial to receive one; add it to your rituals if you wish and recite as many times as possible with compassion and bodhicitta)
(Also: Please note that Tara in Buddhism is not the same one as in Hinduism, it's just that they have similar names, but they are different)
Ritro Loma Gyonma
Another effective practice is by the practice of goddess Ritro Loma Gyonma who deals with pandemics, diseases, and healing (she's actually a manifestation of Green Tara amongst her numerous forms). Here, Lama Tsultrim Allione of the Tara Mandala Institute has given an online recording of an oral transmission that you can listen to her for and practice (they have done a Million Mantra retreat with this back when the Ebola virus was around).
Mantra: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Nama Tare Mano Hara Hum Hara Svaha

The Medicine Buddha (aka. Medicine Master and King of Sapphire Light; Bhaiajya-guru-vairya-prabh-rja)
Then there is the famous practice of the Medicine Buddha, who as his name states, is focused very much so on healing (but also for exorcism, protection, and pacifying our negative energies and karma). Feel free to pray to him and recite his healing mantra, incorporating it whenever possible. Again, this can be done by anyone (though again, very, very effective if you receive transmission). More information found in the following links.
Mantra (by Tibetan and Vajrayana practices): Teyata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samud-gate Soha
Mantra (by Japanese practices):
-Namu Yakushi Nyorai
or:
- Om huru huru candli mtngi svh
The Prayer that Saved the Sakyas
In the following link, there's an oral transmission given by the Sakya Trichen himself (the former head of the Sakya lineage) to a prayer made by the 15th-century Tibetan saint, Thangtong Gyalpo, a very renowned siddha who healed an epidemic that was wiping out the monks with this prayer after all else (herbs, medicines, different healing mantras, torma cakes, extensive rituals, exorcisms, etc.) failed. The top is the video and below it will be the practice to do (and an additional talisman you can print out and wear).

After doing whichever of these practices or whatever rituals you did, dedicate the merits you made to all sentient beings in a short prayer. It can be like the following prayer which the 2nd Century Buddhist Philosopher Nagarjuna made:
"By this merit may all attain omniscience.
May it defeat the enemy, wrongdoing.
From the stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death;
From the ocean of samsara, may I free all beings!"
Or:
" By this virtue may I quickly
Attain the state of Guru Buddha, and then
Lead every being without exception
To that very state!"

And so on and so forth. May all sentient beings benefit from these and happy practicing! I wish y'all look on your practice and journey!
