An Ancient Greek Curse
***This curse can be used for literally anything you want. It is very simply and easy to cast, so beginners are welcome to try it. Just remember to protect yourself as you're casting and care for yourself afterwards!***
This is an ancient Greek curse adapted for modern usage. In the original, the Greeks discarded the paper in wells and fountains, but since that's kind of a shitty thing to do nowadays, I've changed that step to burial. The lead tablet used has also been replaced with paper, since, well, you know, lead is toxic.
Most of the time, this curse was used against individuals in sports contests or for legal issues. Targets would be cursed on a lead tablet with a nail sticking through it. The formula of the curse varied, but the basic concept was the same. The spell would be returned to the earth by throwing it in a well or fountain; this was so that any Underworld Deities who wanted to help would be able to see the curse and lend their aid. This curse, therefore, does call upon Underworld Deities, although if there is a specific Deity you want to call out to, you're more than welcome to do that.
If you aren't able to use a nail or screw, by the way, I recommend using literally anything that can be stabbed through a paper and isn't extremely harmful for the environment if you were to bury it. Using a toothpick, for example, should work perfectly.

What You'll Need:
A piece of paper
Something to write with
A nail or screw
A place to discard the paper naturally
Intention
Steps:
Take your paper and write your target's name. I recommend giving as much information about them as you can (birthdays, parents' names, full names, etc.). I recommend also making a little drawing of your target as an effigy, even if it's just a stick figure.
Write what you would like to happen to your target on the paper. You can get creative with it! If you'd like to appeal more to The Chthonic Powers, I'd recommend briefly stating what the person did to you as well. Make sure you are placing your intention into the curse as you write!
Fold the paper in half.
Take your nail or screw and stab it through the paper. If you made an effigy, I recommend stabbing it through their heart or head, if possible.
Take your paper and return it to the earth. I recommend burying it to do this. You can even knock on the ground a few times to get the attention of The Underworld Deities.
You're all done! Great job! Now make sure to cleanse yourself and your space thoroughly. Take a cleansing bath/shower, burn incense, meditate - whatever you need to do.
