DISCLAMER : We do not advise practicing curses, as you may not only harm your target but you’ll most likely hurt yourself in the process, we’re only showing this for knowledge’s sake, proceed at your own discretion.
In ancient greece, a curse that was commonly used is curse tablets or Defixions (from the latin defixio, to nail). The original version was carved on lead tablets with a brass pen, since finding lead tablets is harder this days, I’ll give you the alternate way using paper.
What you need :
Paper
A nail (the one you use with a hammer)
A pen
A shovel or something to dig
A ring of iron
Someplace you can burry your curse tablet
Trace two concentric circles on the paper using th iron ring
Write your intent inside the smallest ring, usually, deities like Hekate, Hades and Persephone were called upon
Fold the paper around the ring
Pierce the paper with the nail and leave the nail sticking out of the paper
Burry your curse tablet while praying for the deity you called upon to help you
Historical exemple of a written curse : “I bind Sõsikleia and her property and her high celebrity and her fortune and her spirit. May she become hated by her friends. I bind her in the shadows of Tartarus with heavy ties, with Hekate Chtonios”
So @rowanecassidy has released the prologue to his graphic novel DEFIXION, “A zero compromise occult tale of blackmagic, witchcraft, ancient hate...an evil curse...set across time, from the chaos of the third century to the deep winter of a nihilistic near-future Rome”, that I’ve read and completely fallen in love with.
The art style is beautiful and every page was breathtakingly detailed. I really recommend checking out their mailchimp and subscribing to get the prologue (it’s definitely worth it).

Hope you check it out and share the word!
(P.S. If you’re a Latin language nerd like me, the text in the book has been amazingly accurate so far and it’s been so exciting to read fluent Latin in a media source. It’s such a good job. But don’t worry, the story is mainly in English, lol.)
