poppet curse!

warning! this is a curse, so if this isn’t your thing then please, keep scrolling. for those that are still interested, here’s a tutorial on how I personally have made a curse on a very hurtful person… with pictures. ;p

so! all good curses start with some herbs. these pictured, are the ones you’ll need for the inside of the poppet. pictured as well are some black thread and a pen and paper, some sharp things (rusty nails, glass, etc) and what isn’t pictured is fabric.

additionally, you’ll also need a tag lock of the person, to which I used cut up photos of them that I cut one by one.

then you’ll need to make your poppet! I hand sewed this one (im sure its obvious, but it doesn’t need to look pretty, i promise) and while I was doing that (and filling it) I was thinking about all the hurtful things they’ve done to me, and how I want them to feel that in return. that little paper with the eye; that’s a letter I wrote expressing how i felt. I folded it up and drew an evil eye on it (to promote their negativity coming back to them), and stuffed it in the head of the doll, so that person would always be thinking of that situation. now sew the rest of it closed.

now you’re going to drip red wax over the edges of the outside of the stitching and over the head and chest. then you’ll sprinkle some cayenne powder over the wax, followed with crushed red pepper. after that, seal it with some black wax, and youre done!

since this isn’t safe to bury outside, i recommend putting it in a small box or container that you don’t care about anymore, and keep it hidden somewhere dark and out of sight. dont think about the poppet or that person anymore!

Simple Hex Substitute: Mirror Magic

If you have ever wished to curse someone but didn’t wish to put out that sort of negative energy into the world or you’re worried about what could come back to you… Mirror magic is your answer.

In doing this, you are simply reflecting the energy back to the person and away from yourself.

You will need:

A mirror. Literally any will do from a large ornate version to the compact in your handbag.

Holding the mirror with one hand (if suitable), place your dominant hand over your heart. Feel it beat.

Bring forth the memories of what has happened to you. It is okay, for this moment, if they are painful. Afterall, there is a reason you are returning these to sender. Your heart may beat a little faster. Let it. That beating is simply a physical manifestationof the energy you are reflecting away.

Once you start to feel yourself sag and you can no longer hold that anger and upset inside you, visualise yourself reaching your hand inside and removing this black ball of pain.

Bring your hand (and the ball) to the glass and send it through.

You can do this when needed. Bad energy that has run rampant through your life can take time to return. It is not a failure of yourself but simply a sign of the impact it has had.

Tips for Hexing & Cursing

Anything Hot, Spicy, or Sour can inflict physical pain, heat, agitation, or “sourness” to the individual.

Anything you normally use for divination, dreams, or astral can be used for Illusions, Delusions, & Nightmares

Anything you use for spirit work can be used to send unhappiness, restlessness, or spirits to someone

Anything poisonous/toxic can be used to create either illness or even death.

Any number or color association you may have can be used in opposition against them.

Anything with positive aspects can be used to siphon those aspects from your target.

Defixio Silentii

Based on an ancient Roman curse tablet (defixio) found in London, this written charm is meant to stop gossip by someone who knows your secrets.

Take a small piece of paper and a pen. Upon the paper, write:

[name] defico et illeus vitam et mentem et memoriam et iocinera pulmones intermixta fata cogitata memoriam  sic non possit loqui quae secreta sint 

(I curse [name] and (their) life and mind and memory and liver and lungs intermixed the fate of the thoughts and memory thus can (they) not speak what is secret)

substituting the person’s name where it says [name]. As you write, be sure to pour in your intent– in order to cast this curse, you must be very determined to keep this person silent. Once you are finished, roll the paper up and set it aflame. Collect its ashes in a fireproof bowl.

Take these ashes to a body of running water. Throw the ashes into the water and walk away. Do not look back. 

NOTE: do not use curses lightly. Recall that the energy you send into the universe is the energy you get back.

Now Look What You’ve Gotten Yourself Into - A Return-to-Sender Curse Protection Jar

This jar recipe is designed to intercept any negative energy sent by someone, detect who it’s from, and then send it back with a few extras.

What You’ll Need:

One small jar

2 parts salt

1 part dried minced onions

1 part garlic powder

1 part black pepper (ground or not; it works either way)

1 part chili pepper flakes

1 part cinnamon

Begin by pouring in one part salt. Acknowledge that this is to protect you, and act as one of the walls to trap incoming energy.

Add the dried minced onions, garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, and cinnamon. Top with the second part of salt to act as the final barrier for any curse energy that finds its way to you.

The correspondences for the ingredients are listed below for this spell:

Minced onions - for them to cry the tears their curse might have caused (when cutting a fresh onion, sometimes people tear up due to irritation of the eyes)

Garlic powder - to throw them off and disorient their sense of where they are and why they have failed (garlic powder often causes me to cough and have a hard time breathing if it gets into my lungs while I cook)

Black pepper - to irritate their thoughts and cause trouble in their life. It also acts as a stripping agent by cleansing away any facades placed on the curse they sent so that your jar can see who it was from.

Chili pepper flakes - to sting their pride and further bring them bad luck and misfortune.

Cinnamon - to boost the affects of this spell, and speed the return-to-sender portion of it up, sending the energy away quicker.

Salt - to protect you, and trap the curse energy I side the jar before it is sent back.

Tap the jar as many times as you like after screwing on the lid. This helps it “settle in” to the energy around you, thus becoming more discrete and unsuspected.

Place somewhere in your home to catch the energy. To check if anything new has been found and sent away, you can either feel its energy change, or do divination to get a direct answer that way.

England’s Hellfire Curse

I found some old documents from my previous family and decided that a taglock like this might not come around again and wanted them to be scorched with evil; so here we go!

Please note that this curse is incredibly powerful and should only be used in the most dire circumstances

Gather

- Taglock (flammable)

- Burning-safe container

- Black candle

- Match or lighter

- Water (just in case)

- Mirror (to reflect negative energy)

To cast

Place your taglock(s) in the container and light the candle. Use the candle to set the taglock ablaze. As you’re watching it burn, repeat the following;

Flare up and burn it down

From corner to corner with that hellfire

Don’t leave a single trace

Burn down even their souls

Flare up and burn it down

Answer my calling right now

Burn down those fools with

A crimson flame

Flare up and burn it down

From corner to corner with that hellfire

Don’t leave a single trace

Burn down even their souls

For the sake of my terrible revenge, I’ll cast a curse with all my power!

I summon thee from the distant earth! Come forth!

Flare up and burn it down

Answer my calling right now

Burn down those fools with

A crimson flame

Bring on the fire

Bring on the hell

Set everything ablaze

So that no trace remains

Bring on the fire

To finish

Make sure the flame is completely out and pour water over your container just to be sure. Cleanse your space.

“Those Whom I Despise Will Burn”

Write this on a piece of paper and burn it while visualizing those you despise

[darkfyretheumbrawitchreturns-de]

Penance Stare Curse

This was inspired by Ghost Rider and his Penance stare which causes the person to feel the burn and weight of all the bad they’ve done.

What you need:

Glass mason jar

Taglock (hair, saliva, etc. I do not encourage collecting these materials in anyway that involves violence so unless you can safely do so you can use a picture instead)

Vinegar

Tabasco

Red pepper flakes

Cayenne pepper

Combine all the above in the mason jar and close the lid tightly. As an option you can include any sigils that will increase the effect of the curse. Give the jar a good shake to mix everything up and repeat the following:

“The hurt and pain you’ve caused is at an end. May the weight of your actions burn a hole in your soul”

Then as an added bonus set the jar outside in direct sunlight to increase the heat. To cancel the curse safely dispose of the contents of the jar. Remember to properly ward yourself during this process for protection. Also do so when you decide to cancel the curse.

How do you know if someone placed a hex on you?

So, I know nothing about hexes so I had to phone a friend @cosmos-and-crystals

Said gave this advice:

“If you feel like you’ve been hexed or cursed, more often than not, it could be a string of bad luck. However, if it isn’t you can always do a “return to sender” spell OR break it yourself.

Hex breaking bath:

bay leaves (crushed or whole) - purification

Rose water or petals from ORGANIC roses - love, offensive protection (from the thorns)

3 drops Frankincense essential oil - protection and banishment

3 drops Myrrh essential oil - exorcism and banishment

Concentrate on the effects of the hex, and focus on banishing any and all happenstances of general shittiness associated with the hex. Use your hands to sweep the negative energy off of you, imagine it coming off like soot in the bath. Sit in the bath until it begins to cool, or until you feel you’ve achieved your goal.

I would also recommend sage incense to burn, as well

And my return to sender spell is EZPZ:

1 mirror or window

1 dish black salt (sea salt, epsom salt, or kosher salt will all work as well)

your favorite, ass-kicking incense

1 black candle (white works as well)

Begin by lighting your candle and incense, focusing your intent on the hex. Place the candle in front of the mirror and meditate on it for a while, honing in on the negativity you feel, and the events you’ve been forced to go through. When you’ve prepared yourself enough, say:

“This witch has had enough today,

So send this hex back the sender’s way.”

You can repeat as necessary. I like to meditate until the incense has gone out, then blow out the candle (KEEP IT IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR/WINDOW WHEN YOU BLOW IT OUT. The act of blowing it out will send the energy back to the caster of the spell). Place the black salt in front of the mirror or window and leave it there overnight, then dispose of it in the morning.”

Again that is all @cosmos-and-crystals advice but we hope it helps!!

Hello! This is for purely educational and research purposes do curses/hexes/jinxes only work when they are fueled with anger like can someone just cast a curse on someone because fuck it or do they have to hold some anger and desire to see you suffer to make it work

Slow down there speed racer. We’ll start out with the first little thing…curses are different than hexes, are different than jinxes.

Yes, they all fall under the umbrella of malefic or baneful magic, but it’s like saying oranges mangos and apples are all fruit.

Jinxes and hexes can be cast accidentally (jinxes more likely than hexes.) especially when fueled by intense emotions like anger, anxiety, jealousy etc. Even a really heart felt Fuck You can result in a jinx or hex.

That’s because jinxes are the shortest lived. It can be a one and done kind of thing where there’s one manifestation and it’s done. Usually happens in a shorter time frame from when it’s cast and doesn’t require as much forethought as it’s such a burst.

Hexes are the middle ground. A particularly long lasting jinx, or a short lived curse may fall under the category of a hex. It’s a weird balance between severity of the effects combined with longevity. It could be bad luck for a week, flat tires every month for a year, it could be the dissolution of relationships, or loss of job. The severity is more than a jinx and will a lot of times include some kind of ritual. To be honest, a lot of the tumblr “curses” that you see floating around written by users are actually hexes.

Part of that is again the severity and the action of how it manifests, another part is how easy it is to break them, to end them, or to reverse them. I see these “curses” with backdoors clearly written into them! Or a set timeline of how long it’ll last. If there is a timeframe of when it will end, then it is usually a hex and not a curse. If it’s longer than a short time period of a day or two, then it’s usually a jinx…

If there’s no time frame of the spell ending, it has a severely dramatic effect, and there’s no reversal written into it…it may be a curse. You can’t curse someone accidentally because it takes a lot of energy plain and simple. I jinx easily, and hex often, but actual cursing I’ve done 12 times and been a witch for 14 years. If you talk to practitioners who have worked with baneful magic for a while, you’ll notice that a general concensus is that cursing is WORK. The prep time, the actual spellwork, the upkeep, the protections, the loopholes, all of it, takes a lot. A simple writing someone’s name on paper and pinning it between 2 lemons with a nail isn’t a curse on its own.

While jinxes and hexes can be purely emotionally driven, curses have too many variables for you to want to do one strictly on emotion imo. When I’ve cursed part of what that entails is actually meditation and reflection because it is an expenditure of a lot of energy, and preparing to make sure nothing blows back, or that it fizzles out before taking root. So yes, you can curse because of a “why the fuck not?” But with how much work goes into it…why would you if you didn’t hold at least some visceral emotion towards someone?

I do want to clarify why i said visceral emotion and not anger. That’s because curses can also be fueled by an integral sense of morality, a sense of justice or personal code of ethics or social courtesies that are violated by someone else. Witches have been social justice workers from the beginning, before “witch” was even a word. That’s because witchcraft is a tool of need, and when mundane actions aren’t suitable, magic steps in.

Curses can be compared to wine, if cared for and kept in the proper conditions, they can develop, strengthen and get better with age. Alternatively, if there wasn’t the right conditions, attention to detail, energy put forth etc, the wine will spoil and become vinegar (or just spoil and peter out.)

Curses are the big guns. And should be handled with clarity and respect. Do it right and it can be life altering. Do it wrong, and nothing happens at all. Do it wrong and it may be dramatic for a period, then the intended quickly recovers. Do it wrong and the effects may be shared between you and the intended. Do it wrong and it may just be felt by you.

In my experience and from talking to other witches, it’s like horses or dogs. Curses can smell fear so if you aren’t sure that what you’re doing is in fact what you want, there’s a larger chance for it not working the way you want. There’s less pressure and more room for error with hexes. Jinxes can be as simple as someone tripping or stepping on a lego, or a bad dream. Hexes can be losing keys consistently and the financial burden or replacing them, they can be a loss of focus that affects work or school, they can teach a lesson. Curses can cause blight, permanent injury, even death. They can last past the intended’s life and affect the lineage and those around them. Curses can go through generations and past the life of the witch who cast it.

So to do a curse right, bellatrix lestrange has it right “You have to mean them…” because if you don’t, things can and will go sideways.

🦋Cheers, Barberwitch

[stellewitch]

simple revenge hex

what you need:

• a black or red candle

• obsidian crystal (preferrably two)

light the candle while picturing the person who has done you wrong. hold obsidian in each hand and list all the things they have done to you. then recite:

you have hurt me, and i want you to hurt.

you have broken me, and you deserve to feel the same.

i want you to understand the pain you put me through.

all the misery i dealt with, i cast it all upon you.

once all of your anger, pain, and emotion is released, put out the candle.
