Shut Your Mouth Potion
Concoction, non-consumable
1 part liquid laundry detergent - cleansing, to "wash the recipients mouth with soap"
3 parts water - just to dilute the detergent, charge under the full moon for extra oomph
1/2 part lemon juice - purifying, also represents the recipient’s mouth being too sour to speak
1/2 part hot sauce - the recipient’s mouth will burn if they try to speak
1/8 part ash of cloves - stops gossip, purification when burned
1/4 part nettle - stops gossip, sends negativity right back to the recipient
1/4 part slippery elm - stops gossip
Mix everything thoroughly in a wide-mouthed jar. Drop the recipients taglock into the jar—if unavailable, a full name and birthdate or a picture work as well. Optionally, you could use a poppet instead. Seal the jar, shake it, and put it in a cool, dark location.
If the effects begin to wear off, shake the jar again with the intention of invigorating the spell.
When it comes time for you to dismantle the jar or you want to put an end to the effects, simply open it, scoop out any solids for the trash, and pour the liquid down the drain. Physically wash the jar and then cleanse it thoroughly with your preferred method for future use.
