essentials of baneful magic

just to preface that i am a BEGINNER in baneful magic. i've become quite knowledgeable on benevolent magic after several years of practicing it, so while i do have foundational knowledge of the materials and techniques, the execution is often very different. this post is as much for me as it is for you (whoever you may be). it is not meant to be a comprehensive introduction, nor a complete guide, but if you have any questions i will absolutely do my best to answer them :)

special thanks to @trash-bin-witch for all their help assisting my introduction to baneful magic, as they're a lot more experienced with all this than me.

INTRODUCTION

my thought process for baneful magic revolves a lot around chaos magic. chaos magic, to put it simply, is that what you believe to be will be. if you can believe in it, then it exists (or will exist). this is a very simplified way of thinking about it, but that's how i sum it up.

this is different from benevolent magic, which revolves a lot around action which merely guided by spell work. it involves manifestation too, but only to a certain extent. with benevolent magic there is little to no way to get things done without putting work in yourself. with baneful magic, it's more like creating the spell and letting it do the work. this is, i believe, because baneful magic almost always has an inciting incident. think of it as if your ex cheats on you. them cheating, your emotions, your "belief" is the action needed to get the spell to work. this is why curses, hexes, jinxes, etc. will work on relatively good people. if the witch believes the person to be bad, or believes they wronged them, then the spell has power.

again, that's how i think about it, not necessarily how it concretely is or must be.

baneful spells can be created yourself just as much as benevolent spells can, and this post is intended to give you the foundational materials to do that.

WARDING

warding yourself, your space, and those vulnerable around you is, in my opinion, the most important first step to take before embarking on baneful magic.

to make a simple ward there are two things i would include: protective herbs or crystals and your taglocks. a taglock would include hair/fur, blood, nail clippings, anything that is biologically from you or your subject (even a photo would work). for example: if i wanted to create a protective spell jar for my cat i might include some whiskers (DO NOT REMOVE THEM YOURSELF, THEY DROP NATURALLY), some fur, some tiger's eye and/or cat's eye quartz, a picture or drawing of them, and some herbs from the list below.

WARDING/PROTECTIVE HERBS:

Angelica

Anise

Basil

Bay Leaves

Black Cohosh

Black Pepper

Boneset

Cedar

Cinnamon

Frankincense and Myrrh

Garlic

Ginseng

Mandrake Root

Mistletoe

Rosemary

Valerian

Vervain

Witch Hazel

Wormwood

CURSES, HEXES, JINXES

before we start, lets define some things:

1) CURSES: long term effects, sometimes lifelong or multigenerational. often invoked with rituals

2) HEXES: have long term effects, but often not lifelong. more generic effects like "bad luck" or "desolation"

3) JINXES: invokes a specific bad event to happen

now, i don't do much work with jinxes, and i've never had a reason to do a full on curse, so my work primarily takes the shape of hexes right now. if you'd like to do any of these types of spells, down below are some herbs you can use.

also practice extreme caution when handling these, and acquire nontoxic variants or parts as available! some herbs are DEADLY toxic just through touch and should be respected!!

BANEFUL HERBS:

Aconite: toxic, enhances spells, transformation, banishing

Asphodel: invoking spirits (which can assist in spells)

Belladonna: toxic, madness, invoking spirits

Black Mustard: confusion, failure, bad luck

Blackthorn: revenge, binding

Blue Cohosh: breaking up relationships

Boneset: exorcism, boundaries

Celandine: binding, madness

Dragon's Blood: power, banishment

Jasmine: love related issues

Larkspur: banishment

Mandrake Root: toxic, exorcism

Mugwort: dreams and nightmares, insomnia, madness

Mullein: invoking spirits

Nettle: irritation, retribution

Oleander: toxic, bad luck, revealing true self

Poke Root: cord cutting

Pomegranate: binding, love and fertility

Rue: retribution, reversing spells

Thistle: retribution, reversing spells

Wormwood: bad luck, sorrow, bitterness

Yarrow: invoking spirits

OTHER USEFUL MATERIALS:

the general framework for good hex ingredients include things that are visually disgusting or is smelly, sharp, painful, or toxic things, and objects that symbolically represent the harm you want to inflict. to be specific you can use:

salt: consecration, i use it as the base for my jars

rosemary: cleansing, protection

pine needles: spiky, also good for protection

thorns of plants trees or flowers

spicy things (peppers, seasoning, etc.)

sharp things (needles, broken glass, etc.)

food (especially rotten)

railroad ties/other iron objects: exorcisms and banishment

other metals like aluminum cans: can be used for sigils

hand mirrors: for "reflecting" energy

jars, bottles, boxes

cards: using face cards to represent people

small candles

trash: cause it's gross

money

ash/charcoal: protection, enhancing or sealing spells

bones: can be broken to invoke injury, or as a makeshift taglock

expired makeup: to make them feel ugly

vinegar/bleach

receipts/mail ads: monetary issues

dead bugs: cause they're gross

dirt (graveyard, four corners of your property, etc.): invoking spirits or setting a target area

thread: to ensnare or paralyse

note that you can also freeze or burn things for their symbolic effects

RECOMMENDED READING:

[space-queen]

Hello! I'm fairly new to cosmic witchcraft, but I've been feeling very drawn to and connected with Pluto. You have such an incredible wealth of knowledge, and I was wondering if you would be able to give me some information on associations & correspondences for Pluto as well as any other info & tips you have for working with / worshipping Pluto? Thank you!

hhhheeeeeyyyyyyy! the lord of the underworld and my third most dominant planet! here we go.

a mix of personal and common correspondences:

colors - black, burgundy, magenta

crystals/minerals - garnet, hematite, herkimer diamond, kunzite, obsidian, onyx, schorl (black tourmaline), smoky quartz, snowflake obsidian, spinel

metals - plutonium, chromium, carbon steel

plants - acacia, anise, asparagus, barley, basil, belladonna, black walnut, blueberry, buckwheat, chives, chrysanthemum, columbine, corn, cypress, damiana, dogwood, dragon’s blood, eucalyptus, fern, fig, fly agaric, foxglove, galangal root, garlic, guarana, hops, kava kava, larkspur, leek, mandrake, mullein, mushroom, nettle, oats, onion, pansy, parsley, passion flower, patchouli, periwinkle, pomegranate, potato, psilocybin, redwood, rye, saw palmetto, silverweed, skullcap, spinach, strawberry, turnip, valerian, vinca, wheat, wormwood, yohimbe, yucca

attributes - power, destruction, death, the underworld, astral travel, realms, transformation, metamorphosis, regeneration, unveiling, mystery, change, crisis, manipulation, beginnings and endings, sexual energy, the occult

pluto deals with subconscious thoughts, desires, and secrets; the process of metaphorical death and rebirth, the binding of bad habits to make change, all things taboo and mysterious.

as you would assume, pluto also has to do with literal death (see below).

plutonian death magic

anyway! that's the tldr; version, but please let me know if you want me to be more specific. :)

The Serpent Sigil

While serpents ordinarily rule over life/death/rebirth, fertility and the dichotomy of “good/evil” and light/dark, wishes need not be confined to these parameters – apply instead the concept of the kundalini,the force of desire. || for more information on my use of the serpent, see Feeding the Black Serpent ||

A Few Uses

The Wishing Serpent: To use, simply write your desire, beginning where the neck of the serpent meets the head. If you choose to recreate the sigil in favor of printing (when this sigil is used at its exact size, the “uncoiled” measures around 3 feet), ensure there is room to complete your desire. Cut along the lines, which should leave you with a long, serpent ribbon. This is best performed outside, though it may be done inside away from flammables over a large-mouth bowl. Using a candle placed on the ground (of a fitting color – red works as a default), allow the tail of the serpent to catch, holding the snake by its head, allow it to burn from the bottom to the top. If used inside, scatter the ashes to the wind, otherwise they have already been aptly scattered. 

The Healing Serpent: Utilizing much of the same procedure as above, write the name of he/she you wish to heal 7 or 9 times upon the face of the sigil – again, starting from the neck of the serpent. Cut along the lines. Coil the serpent back and flip it over, on the reverse, write 3, 7, or 9 times the name of nature of their ailment(s). Using a black, white or red candle, perform the same process as above – reading the prayer:

Coiled serpent, now –  Unwound – Behest:  My bidding, go about  The soil, Viper tongue splayed – Oh, Black Serpent, Recant the poisoned- Tooth venom, And devour that sickness That you hath cast, Recant – by witch’s will –  And feed it to the forge.

The Witches’ Watch: Should an event arise that calls for a timed ritual, this serpent might serve as time-keeper –such as for opening the realms, crossroads work, evocations, invocations and possessions. Simply cut along the lines and drive a piece of cotton cord or thread through the head of the serpent and hang it in a safe place. When you are ready to begun your working, ignite the tail with your working candle – burn times vary based on paper used, circulation, temperature, etc. I recommend trying a test burn using the same paper and location, to get a general idea of your time frame. Play with the size of the sigil to shorten or lenthen your working time.

The Poison Serpent: On the face of the sigil, write out your unsavory desires, perhaps something to the extent of: “May the poison serpent rot the flesh and mind.” On the reverse, write your victim’s name nine times, beginning not at the neck, but at the tail. This pairs the elevation of your desire (over your victim) with the symbol of their force of will (to fight) being eaten away as the serpent is devour by the flame and freed into the aether. Collect the ashes and blend with sulphur powder, a poisonous plant of your choosing (ideally one that’s symptoms match the nature of your desire), iron oxide (optional) and bone dust (optional). 

There are countless uses! Please, by all means get creative with it! I’d love to hear what some of you guys [would] do with it!

plutonian death magic ♇ 🪦

pluto, otherwise known as hades in greek mythology, is the ruler and guardian of the underworld.

ethically collect graveyard dirt and charge it with plutonian energy - may be used in spells that correspond with pluto’s energy, spirit work, or any act that includes honoring the dead

create a shrine or altar dedicated to a loved one who has passed on - add a symbolic representation of pluto for the protection of your loved one in the afterlife

create an amulet to represent an ancestor or loved one that has passed on and charge with plutonian energy - this can be worn for remembrance or to aid in contacting the spirit of this person

some ideas for this may include: the name of your loved one; a sigil that represents their name and your intention; some of their ashes (please don’t take ashes from a family urn without permission); graveyard dirt from the grave of your loved one (again, not without permission); herbs or crystals that correspond to spirit work and death magic (perhaps even your loved one’s favorite crystal or flower)

provide offerings to pluto for the continued protection of your loved ones in the afterlife

plant herbs and flowers that correspond with pluto

volunteer to work with hospice patients or to help clean up your local graveyard

provide food and beverages on your altar or sacred space

light a candle or incense of corresponding scent

leave corresponding crystals or herbs in an offering dish

leave offerings for your loved ones at their grave or on your altar

design a crystal grid using plutonian crystals to amplify corresponding spells or rituals

wear a crystal pendant that corresponds with pluto for the metaphorical death and rebirth of one’s self

use the death card in your tarot deck during spells and rituals that involve death magic

i typically do not work with any deities, but sometimes i feel it’s appropriate to incorporate persephone/proserpina as well.
