Thorn Pricked Hearts

Take a closer look at any cunning folks counter curse repertoire and you are sure to find some deviation for the use of an animals heart, stuck with thorns, pins or needles, within the workings of "return to sender magick" as good old Uncle Cecil coined it. There has been many applications for such a counter curse throughout wayside practices, but none has been more prevalent than the usage of such a charm to return normality to an ill wish't flock of livestock and get some good old fashioned payback by sending harm straight back to the ill wisher. A few good examples of this kind of Magick are given in Gemma Gary's "A Cornish Book of Ways" and many more are given still in her newer title "Silent as the trees". I share now my own interpretation of this stoic charm, used against a particularly nasty ill wisher I had a run in with previously. Take a bowl carved from an Ash tree, three rusted nails, a large Lambs heart (procured rather easily from any local butchers) and enough wood to build a fire. Take the lamb's heart and stick it with the rusted nails saying each time "With each pin that is stuck shall harm befall you; as you wish't it 'pon me, now I wish it 'pon you" When the deed is done place the heart in the Ash bowl, light the fire and place the bowl within the flames. As the bowl splits and breaks, so too shall the maleficia upon you be broken.

A lot of people preach: An ye harm none, do what ye will.

But often forget: Do no harm, but take no shit.

As well as: If one does harm, do as you must.

A witch mustn't stand by when there is harm done to others or herself.

It is her right to intervene as she sees fit.

Remember that.

Xenomorph Curse

To Bring Down Not Only the Target, But All They’ve Created

This is supposed to be a high-octane curse.  Cause if you’ve watched either original Alien(s) film, you know these fuckers are hard to kill, let alone control.  

Once the target has been taken down to your liking, or innocent bystanders are getting involved, undo the curse (instructions below).

What you will need:  - Vinegar (spirit is the strongest)  - Eel meat, long strip  - String  - A jar  - The target’s name or photo  - A Weyland logo  - Black candle

Place the Weyland logo on the side of the jar.

Fold or roll the target’s name/pic as small as possible.  Place on an end of the eel meat and roll the strip as tightly as possible.  Tie with the string.  

Fill the jar with vinegar.  Drop the meat inside.  Tightly screw the lid closed.  Place the candle atop the lid and light it.  Let it burn down to nothing, sealing the jar in the wax.  Place the jar somewhere it’s not likely to be disturbed.

Your little Xenomorph is now off to grow and destroy your target

Stopping the Curse (you will need it)

 - Fire  - Ice water  - Salt

The smell will most likely be atrocious so brace yourself.  Open the jar and take our the meat.  In a fire safe container, on a bed of kindling/charcoal/anything flammable, ignite and place the meat.  Burn it to ashes and beyond.  Once it’s sufficiently incinerated, before the fire goes out, dump the ice water over it.  Pour the salt into the mixture.  Dump the ash slurry, the jar of vinegar, and any pieces of candle wax you had to chip off into a trash bag or plastic shopping bag (if the latter, use 2 in case of any holes).  Immediately bring to any outside trashcan (best done before your local trash pickup day)

Witch bottles and counter-blasting

As a traditional witch I like to practice protecting myself from ill wishes, curses, and the like. One such way is to employ the use of a witch bottle. It is believed that by using the urine of the victim, you will also capture the essence, or blood, of the cursing witch.

This is called counter-blasting.

You will need:

- a terracotta or ceramic jar/bottle

- clay or wax

- three new nails or pins (to poke)

- the urine of the victim

- peppers (to burn)

- any protective herbs or sigils (rowan, hawthorn, yarrow)

- thread (to tangle)

- hair and nails of the one cursed

- salt water (to protect)

Before you use this spell I would suggest doing whatever it is that you do to protect yourself, smoke cleansing, charms, prayers, circles, black salt.. &ect.

Take the urine of the cursed victim and heat it until it is very hot, then pour it into the bottle, place the three pins (sharp ends downwards) into the bottle, add the hot peppers, hair, nails, and thread. Add any protective herbs or sigils if you desire. Seal the bottle tightly with the clay or wax, and brush salt water on it. Take the bottle and put it in the ground neck down. Bury it.

By placing it neck down, heating the urine of the victim, adding nails, and peppers, you will be making it difficult for the black witch to "make water" without pain or discomfort. Thus breaking the witches hold upon the victim, and prodding the witch to break the curse upon them, or if at all else, to give them back worse than they gave. It will also protect the victim by serving as a decoy.

Employ the use of protective magic from that moment on wards, to prevent any ill to befall the victim once again.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the old saying goes.
