ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Banishing

Okay kiddo, so sometimes people might do things that we don't like, and we need to keep ourselves safe from them. That's where banishing comes in - it's like a magical way of saying "you're not welcome here and you need to go away."

Think of it like playing a game with your friends. If someone is being mean or not following the rules, you might say "you're out of the game" and they have to go sit on the sidelines. Banishing is kind of like that, but with magic.

When a person or thing is banished, it means that they're not allowed to stay in our space anymore. We might draw protective symbols or say words to make it happen. It's important to remember that banishing is a way to protect ourselves, not to hurt anyone else.

So, if there's something or someone that's making us feel unsafe, we can use banishing to make them go away. It's a way of taking control and setting boundaries so that we can feel safe and happy.
