What are your thoughts on the necessity of energetically cleansing and banishing unwanted energies from a place before performing rituals or casting spells? Why is this needed? What are the consequences of not performing the banishment? Do two banishings have twice the effectiveness of one?

I notice that banishing before and after any magical activity is not as common outside ceremonial magic, including in chaos magic. What differences have you noticed when performing a banishing versus skipping it in your magical practices?

Do you have any stories about something that went wrong because you skipped doing a banishing?

What are the most potent types of banishing you have used or know about?

Does performing two banishings double the effectiveness of one, or does doing multiple consecutive banishings make no difference?
