Baneful magic ingredients and their correspondences

I got a LOT of these from @afledglings-guideto-witchcraft when they answered an ask I sent in, that blog is a fantastic place for information whether you've been practicing a few days or a few years imo.

I've been posting a lot about trying to find information on this subject and now I've gotten a good list compiled in a google doc and figured I'd share it with y'all, feel free to add on your own notes or just any commentary you have or experiences you've had using certain ingredients. I'm using some of these to make a hex jar to try and help a friend out with a shitty abusive household, which I might post more about if y'all would be interested in it, or if I just feel up to it.

Black pepper: bad luck, punishing negative energies

Pickle juice: to bring sourness

Broken glass: cutting ties, warding off negative energies, pain

Black salt: banishment

Thumb tacks: pain and suffering

Rotten tea/anything moldy: for detriment on their life

Hot peppers: pain, irritation, burning, anger

Garlic: disgust and repulsion

Dead matches: to drain energy

Salt: to intensify wounds, to sting, to keep someone away

Mustard seed: strife and discord

Onion: breaking relationships/habits/etc, strife

Lemons: causing pain (think lemon juice on a cut), souring a relationship, or any good luck the target has been receiving lately.

Rusty Nails: can be stabbed into lemons, or added to sour jars/hex jars. Pins the hex/curse to the target.

Vinegar: souring, dissolves relationships

Poppyseed: intoxication and confusion

Alum: stops communication/speech.

Small pickles: male impotency

Beet pickles: female hormonal problems

Thick mud: darkness, suffocation, feeling trapped

Feces/urine: to make their life nasty

Black candle wax or strings: binds the curse to the target

Coffee: insomnia

Tea: lethargy/oversleeping

Gravel: Being crushed and stepped on by life and the people around you

Don't ever let anyone tell you you are a bad person or you're going to get hurt if you practice baneful magic at all no matter what. The threefold law is a rule that Wiccans follow, no one else is obligated to believe in it, I respect people who believe in it and they should respect people who don't. Always make sure to judge a situation very carefully and use this magic appropriately.

And, very very important, research on how to protect yourself from a spell backfiring (because you can get hurt), make sure that your intention is very focused on your specific target(s), and, if you're doing something similar to what I'm doing, do something (protection jars, spells, etc) to protect other people around this person or people from the effects of the jinx, hex, or curse. Oh and if you're casting a spell on someone else who practices witchcraft, make sure you know the signs if they deflect the spell back onto you and try and do what you can to prevent that from happening.

hexxing / cursing / jinxing / banishing ingredients.

(anything can be used with the right intent, these are just my favorites, and what i use them with the intent of .) ☆

dead crickets (crickets are often loud in life and disturb sleep, dead crickets to send auditory hallucinations.)

gone bad lavender (bad dreams, nightmares, issues falling/staying asleep.)

dragons blood incense/smoke (chaos, destruction, sometimes physical illness.)

cigarette butts (i like to imagine the smoke getting stuck in their lungs, physical illness.)

dead wasps/wasp nest (getting someone where it hurts, unexpected loss and or pain.)

rotten chili pepper (regular chili pepper works too, but i find that rotten gives the victim an extra "kick" )

vinegar/a sour wine (sending their sour/bitter energy back at them.)

mistletoe (loneliness, BUTTTT can be used for one hell of a forced love spell on someone you hate- make someone they hate OBSESSED with them.)

broken glass (breaking them down, causing pain.)

animal bones (extreme illness, physical harm.)

cemetery dirt (bonus points if its from a graveyard an ancestor is buried in.. ancestors can be SO helpful.)

blood (obviously be careful, blood magick is definitely not beginner friendly, but this can send the jinx/curse/hex, whatever after their bloodline.)

razor blades (pain, difficulty.)

broken egg shells (break them down yourself, put all your aggression into it, imagine you're destroying their trust, i use this for paranoia.)

a picture of your victim, a piece of paper with their name/birthday (bonus points for hometown.)

thorns (trouble in romance, arguing.)

tiger lily (sickness, confusion, lethargy.)

*gentle reminder,

a JINX is an inconvenience.

a HEX is bad luck/illnesss.

Ophélie (1867) Jean-Baptiste (James) Bertrand

In Judaism joy is the supreme religious emotion. Here we are, in a world filled with beauty. Every breath we breathe is the spirit of God within us. Around us is the love that moves the sun and all the stars. We are here because someone wanted us to be. The soul that celebrates, sings.

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Studies in Spirituality, p. 258

jessicalprice

Yup.

It’s so weird to me that so many Christians act like Judaism is depressing and something that people need to escape from.

Like, I know that’s what y’all want to MAKE it to pressure us out of it, but we’ve always known that joy is a form of resistance.

Judaism, as a practice, exists to sensitize us to both the goodness of reality, so we feel joy and gratitude and awed tenderness, and to the brokenness of reality, so we can heal it and finish the work of creation. And the guiding star even there is joy and awe and wonder.

tucsonhorse

I think at least for most Christians it's not a conscious wanting to make Judaism something people have to escape from, I think it's a combination of projection (because Christianity *is* something lots of people want to escape from, at least white, European Christianity) and the fact that the only things the US school system, and I suspect lots of European school systems, teaches us about Judaism is about the Holocaust and other persecution. (I understand that said persecution is Christians trying to make Judaism something bad to be escaped from by making it miserable/deadly to exist as a Jewish person, but I don't think antisemites are aware of anything other than hating people because they're different in this specific way)

I was raised Christian and have been putting myself into spaces designed to help broaden my understanding of Jewish culture, and I was honestly surprised by your statement that it's about joy. I think perhaps this is one of those things that doesn't get talked about to outsiders, possibly because to those in the Jewish community it is so obvious/well known?

terulakimban

Speaking personally? It’s not that it’s not talked about to outsiders, it’s that it’s not always talked about explicitly.

So, like... if you follow a bunch of jumblr bloggers and notice us going absolutely feral passing around some pictures of pomegranates? That’s Jewish joy. When you see our pictures of sukkot and chanukiyot and shabbat tables? That’s Jewish joy. Delightedly “yes-and-ing” each other about speculative halacha? That’s Jewish joy.

More privately, part of our morning daily liturgy -something that, in many communities, is part of the “at home and waking up” daily prayer routine as opposed to the “in synagogue and functional” daily prayer routine (although it’s usually still said in shul, at least in the spaces I’m familiar with) is called “Nissim B’Chol Yom” - (literally “Miracles in Every Day”), in which we express gratitude and wonder at the mundanities that theoretically shape our existence. Also in that “at home and waking up” section are a prayer called “Elohai N’shama” in which we express gratitude for our souls, and “Elohai N’tzor” (also said after using the restroom) in which we express awe at how wonderful it is that the human body works.

And to take that further, we have prayers of joy and wonder for surviving dangerous situations, but also for seeing mountains for the first time [ever/in a while] or the ocean or particularly beautiful people. There is so much joy and awe and wonder for the amazing world we live in, and that we are part of it, and it spills into so much of what we do.

When we’re jumping around going “YES AND THAT PERSON/TRADITION IS JEWISH” -that’s not “hey, notice us” (okay, it’s sometimes “hey, notice us” or “hey! please remember we exist”); it’s something we do in our own spaces too, and it’s an expression of joy -communal responsibility means that we aren’t just shamed by each other’s failings, but that we reflect the glow of each other’s successes.

Ever been in a shul during a celebration, when we reach a lull and pelt the celebrants with candy while singing congratulations to them at the top of our lungs? Or watched the dancing spill out into the street as a community welcomes a new Torah? Heard the mood shift during the High Holy Days as we begin Ki Anu Amecha? Seen the look on a child’s face on their first day of school when you give them a honeystick and then start the lesson?

I had a rabbi growing up who dressed as Elmo for Purim every year so small children wouldn’t be frightened by all the noise going on when we boo Haman, and every year, especially as it got late, he wound up with a whole bunch of children arrayed around him while he/the chazzan/various other congregants read the megillah; often holding a small child and pointing things out. In the synagogue I currently belong to, the Hokey Pokey is part of the Simchat Torah dance lineup so that even the smallest, least Jewishly-knowledgeable children will have something they are confident that they know and can participate in wholeheartedly. My b’nai mitzvah class (I teach Sunday school) will launch into the Torah service at the top of their lungs with the slightest provocation because they think it’s fun to sing.

I wouldn’t say that it’s about joy -not everything in Judaism is joyful, and something does not become less Jewish for not being joyous. And there is an unfortunate reality that often, when there is joy, it’s shaded together with sorrow or defiance. The broken glass at weddings, the spilled drops at the seder, the counting of the Omer, because we have so many things to never forget.

And beyond that there is so much longing written into Judaism. So many what-ifs. So many places where too many died. So many places where people still do. So many somedays and maybes. Musaf. Leshanah HaBaah. The way many people will fall silent near the end of Birkat HaMazon. And so much of that is hopeful, but at the same time, so much of it still commemorates tragedy.

But... well. It’s not that we don’t talk about our joy. We do. A lot. But I suspect it’s harder to immediately comprehend and recognize for people who want to learn but don’t have the cultural context to do so. And I feel like portraying us as joyless and miserable and archaic and so caught up by the burden of historical suffering (not of our own making, for the more charitably minded) that we can and never will be free of it even if we want to (but we don’t want to because that’s how we manipulate people, for the particularly hostilely minded) is... a very efficient way to dehumanize us? Because people, writ large, experience joy. Experience a broad range of human emotions. So if “those people” don’t? Well... there’s probably something wrong with “them.” Or at the very least weird about “them.” To acknowledge our joy means to acknowledge that we’re people. That we’re still here, that we’re surviving, that we’re continuing to grow and change.

And there are a lot of people who are very threatened by that idea. Not just our joy, of course -this is a conversation I’ve had before with friends of other minority backgrounds. And on top of that... trauma can sell, and if you can convince the intended audience that it wasn’t really that bad or give them a hero fantasy where they would’ve helped, it can sell really well. Let them say “it could’ve happened to me“ and clutch their pearls, because they didn’t quite empathize before. Let them walk away able to sleep soundly, secure that it wouldn’t’ve been them as the victim, and if it had, someone would’ve come to the rescue, because someone always does, because these are stories, not people. Let them sleep soundly, having not even considered that they would’ve been the bad guys because those are characters and they know better.

And when all you know of a people is their pain, and you learn to define them by it, it becomes very difficult to see that that’s not necessarily how they see or define themselves.

tucsonhorse

Thank you for sharing your moments of joy with me. None of these are moments I have, or expect to have, the opportunity to see and I appreciate you sharing them and helping me to understand better.

If you want to see -at least a bit.

That first paragraph of examples? We do stuff like that on tumblr quite often. We’re currently a week out from Tu Bishvat -the corresponding uptick in excited posts about trees and plants is already starting. Two weeks after that is the beginning of the month of Adar, which will have with it a whole bunch of posts about constellations (especially old zodiac art from synagogues) and fish. Two weeks after that is Purim, and while you probably won’t see many costume photos on tumblr because of safety/privacy/anonymity concerns, there’ll definitely be food photos. (Two years ago, I got into a hamentaschen bakeoff with @nonasuch over our grandmothers’ respective recipes -the results of that should be pretty visible on both our blogs.)

The second paragraph: Here’s the everyday miracles being chanted, plus translation (Reform nusach). This is a harmony of Elohai Neshama and Asher Yatzar. Here’s the text and translation for Elohai Neshama; this is Asher Yatzar.

This is an explanation (and story) on the blessing for natural wonders. This has several examples of Jewish blessings on marvels of nature (please note the blessing for firsts, which is said often -and gets this special tune when sung the first night of Chanukkah). This is the prayer said responsively after surviving something dangerous; here’s the text and translation.

This is our main celebration song -looking at the video, that’s a celebration of a Bat Mitzvah. This is a major song for weddings -the text is biblical. This is a common dance for weddings (that has spread to B’nai Mitzvah in many communities) -hoisting the people getting married up into the air and dancing around them (the song is a prayer for peace in the daily liturgy). Here’s people throwing candy at a bar mitzvah.

This is a torah scroll completion and dedication. It’s really long, but highlights are the scribing, the singing, the part where the person reading the first reading every from that scroll does so under a canopy like a wedding, and then at the end where the whole congregation goes up and dances. This is another Torah dedication, with dancing in the streets as the Torah is escorted to its community. This is the tone shift I mentioned in the high holy day liturgy -the opening solemn bit is a prayer for forgiveness, but the main prayer here is about how we see our relationship with G-d.

This is a Simchat Torah celebration -this is a major religious observance -the celebration is reaching the end of the annual torah reading cycle and restarting it, and people are singing and dancing and drinking in the streets.

Inferno curse

This is the curse for you if you are looking to scorch everything good within one’s life. Messes up relationships, opportunities and causes general discord.

**Curse responsibly, divination beforehand to make sure everything will go smoothly before you cast.**

Ingredients

Chili powder - pain, irritation, burning

Black pepper - bad luck, punishing negative energies

Onion powder - breaking relationships, strife

Olive oil - to anoint the candle. Element is fire.

Fire safe dish - fire safety to place the candle upon

Sigil - one for pain, burning, etc

Tag lock - a item to represent the target (name, photo, hair, nails, etc)

Black candle - banishment

(Optional) Jar - If you’d like to shake it occasionally to cause casual distress

(Optional) Rusty nails - If you’d like to add them to the jar. Represents to “pin” to the target

Directions for candle spell (Best used for a tag lock like a picture, name or hair)

Speak your intentions into your ingredients. Speak your rage into them if you feel that would add more power.

Mix together chili powder, black pepper and onion powder.

Anoint the candle with olive oil (small amount) and sprinkle powders over candle

On one side of a piece of paper create a sigil for whatever purpose you desire with targets name attached to the back as a taglock.

If you are using a taglock like a picture - Place under the candle with the sigil.

If you are using hair - In this case I would bind the hair to the candle with a black thread or twine.

Create a short chant of your choosing. What do you want this spell to do to your target? Make it short but precise.

Set the candle alight, burn down to nothing.

Dispose of taglock (if picture or name) and sigil with fire to release any last energy.

Dispose of ingredients away from house or on garbage day for it to be taken away.

Cleanse space and open windows to let anything release out

I hope this helped somebody! This is a very old curse of mine but it’s been effective over the years when I needed it. Make sure protections for yourself are in place always before you preform a curse and to get rid of that gunk after you cast. If you’d like my jar version just comment below and I’ll share.

A small list of items use in hexing

There's a lot of discourse around baneful magic, hexing, chaos magic, jinxing and curses.

It's not that I want to actively encourage those practices, but all witches should know what items are used for in spells, especially if they're using advanced magic. Here's a short list of items I see used in hexes and such (no herbs!)

As always, please do your research on all ingredients in a spell in order to source them ethically.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Poppets ~ This is an item used to signify a person in a spell. You can make them out of just about anything, but I most commonly see people stitching their own dolls or using paper cut in the shape of a person.

Taglocks ~ I feel like people get Taglocks and Poppets confused. Taglocks are actually items, sometimes personal, that create a link to a certain person in a spell. This can be as simple as a photo of them, an item they left behind, or even something from their body, like hair or nails.

Graveyard Dirt ~ This is dirt obtained from, you guessed it, graves and cemeteries. Inserting my own opinion here, it's difficult to obtain Graveyard Dirt from the source ethically. In fact, prancing into a graveyard with a shovel can probably get you in a lot of trouble. Some alternatives here can be taking sticks or rocks from a gravesite (NOT anything on someone's grave) or even taking the soil from beneath a dead plant. Always leave an offering for the spirits.

Iron ~ Typically you won't see straight-up Iron listed as a spell item, but you may see rusty nails and other sharp, rusted items. Iron is used to attract and repel, so it can be used to attract negative energy to someone while repelling it from you.

Broken Glass ~ If you're able to safely collect glass after breaking an object, see if you can save it! Broken glass is great for protection in spells. A good example: if you cast a binding spell on someone, it can help prevent them from retaliating.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

By no means is this the only use for these objects. In fact, many items used in baneful magic have uses in protection spells as well. Always do your research, especially to ensure you are not impeding on a closed practice of another culture, before attempting to cast ANY spells.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

If you found this post to be useful, and are financially able, please consider leaving this witch a tip!

elminx

Real talk here:

Yes, some witches curse and hex.

But also: if you don't know a witch who has a reason to be out to get you, you probably don't need to worry about it.

The things that could increase your chances of being cursed or hexed:

knowing a number of witches in real life (people are much more likely to get mad and stay mad at people they actually know)

doing something really shitty to a witch

having a LARGE follower count on social media that's focused on witchcraft (follower count in the thousands at least)

I assume most of the people reading this don't fit any of these criteria. Congrats, you (probably) don't need to worry about it.
