Something I want to draw attention to in practicing any form of spirituality is to not let yourself become unhealthily obsessed with it. You don't have to look at everything as a sign from the divine or consult tarot for every single decision you make. It's important that you stay grounded and sometimes that means stepping out of a spiritual perspective, living life in the moment and following simply what your heart wants.

Isaac hated seeing his sister lonely as she tried so desperately to fit in to be normal so when one day he heard a story about a spellcaster that ended up falling into the wrong hands at Nevermore that ended with her body being demolished he decided to go to her grave.
He was pleasantly surprised that it was true her body was dissembled into parts. She was a sight of beauty and would be perfect for Francoise.
After he collected her. He brought her to his lab and stitched her up using electricity to bring her back. He came back the next day to her awake gripping the sheet he had given her.
"W-who are you?" Her voice trembled as she spoke. It took him by surprise that she could talk so well after being scattered.
"Isaac. Isaac Night. I put you back together." He said hesitantly but confidently sticking out his hand for her to shake. She smiled before taking his hand with a smile.
He couldn't help but notice how perfect her hand hit into his like it belonged there..
Isaac quickly shook the thought off before letting go of her hand. He couldn't. He put her back together for Francoise not for himself.
~~~
Ever since that day he had introduced her to Francoise and they instantly clicked and soon a friendship was born. She stayed in Lagos lab away from the society light the only people that know of her is Isaac, Francoise, and unfortunately but fortunately Gomez and Morticia as they accidentally caught her when Gomez came to check in and ask Isaac a question.
They had surprisingly promised to keep the secret as long as they could get to know her and to Isaac's dismay they got a long.
He quickly learnt things about her seeing she spent time with him the most. She was at his levels of intelligence possibly even higher, she would end up helping him with one of his projects/inventions. She was incredibly helpful and kind and caring. Her powers were so strangely unique. He even learnt her story of her she ended up the way she was before he fixed her back up.

“I can feel you staring.” Y/n said from across the room. “I bet you’re wondering what happened to me.”
“No.. I.. yes a bit.” Isaac admitted as he set down the tool he was using in the metal table as she came up to him.
“It was because of my coven.” She replied. He looked at her slightly confused making her smile.
“I’m surprised you don’t know but um a coven is pretty much a family or group of spellcasters.” She explained, Isaac nodded.
“For the record before my sister and I came here we were what people call ‘normies’.” Isaac commented on her comment she made about him. “I didn’t really look much into it.”
She nodded in understanding. “Why would they do that to you?”
“It was because of an experiment gone wrong. I was testing things and I actually managed to bring our cat back to life but there are consequences when you mess with the alter of balance between life and death.” She explained.
“It was stupid. My experiment. I know and my coven/ family didn’t like it nor did our ancestors so they hexed me to make sure I never did anymore experiments but I didn’t listen I tried to do another experiment different one this time that wouldn’t mess with the balance but they still didn’t like it because I was breaking their ‘promise’ and made sure it cost me not to mention there was also a psycho freak who was on the verge of killing covens for what they did to him.” Y/n explained. Isaac nodded looking at her with a slightly saddened expression.
“Next thing I know I’m here. I dont know if it was actually their fault or the crazed murder but yep that’s my story.”
“I’m sorry that. That happened to you.” Isaac said honestly.
“I’m happy it lead me here.. to you and Francoise as well as the soon to be Mrs&Mr Addams.” She commented looking at him hesitantly.
“Especially.. you.” She commented with a light smile subtly looking between his eyes and lips. He noticed as he had been doing the same thing before their lips met as he pulled her closer to him.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.” She whispered as they pulled away. His lips twitched up into a sly smirk. Before pulling her back into the kiss feeling a sense of pride for her reciprocated feelings.
just to preface that i am a BEGINNER in baneful magic. i've become quite knowledgeable on benevolent magic after several years of practicing it, so while i do have foundational knowledge of the materials and techniques, the execution is often very different. this post is as much for me as it is for you (whoever you may be). it is not meant to be a comprehensive introduction, nor a complete guide, but if you have any questions i will absolutely do my best to answer them :)
special thanks to @trash-bin-witch for all their help assisting my introduction to baneful magic, as they're a lot more experienced with all this than me.
INTRODUCTION
my thought process for baneful magic revolves a lot around chaos magic. chaos magic, to put it simply, is that what you believe to be will be. if you can believe in it, then it exists (or will exist). this is a very simplified way of thinking about it, but that's how i sum it up.
this is different from benevolent magic, which revolves a lot around action which merely guided by spell work. it involves manifestation too, but only to a certain extent. with benevolent magic there is little to no way to get things done without putting work in yourself. with baneful magic, it's more like creating the spell and letting it do the work. this is, i believe, because baneful magic almost always has an inciting incident. think of it as if your ex cheats on you. them cheating, your emotions, your "belief" is the action needed to get the spell to work. this is why curses, hexes, jinxes, etc. will work on relatively good people. if the witch believes the person to be bad, or believes they wronged them, then the spell has power.
again, that's how i think about it, not necessarily how it concretely is or must be.
baneful spells can be created yourself just as much as benevolent spells can, and this post is intended to give you the foundational materials to do that.
WARDING
warding yourself, your space, and those vulnerable around you is, in my opinion, the most important first step to take before embarking on baneful magic.
to make a simple ward there are two things i would include: protective herbs or crystals and your taglocks. a taglock would include hair/fur, blood, nail clippings, anything that is biologically from you or your subject (even a photo would work). for example: if i wanted to create a protective spell jar for my cat i might include some whiskers (DO NOT REMOVE THEM YOURSELF, THEY DROP NATURALLY), some fur, some tiger's eye and/or cat's eye quartz, a picture or drawing of them, and some herbs from the list below.
WARDING/PROTECTIVE HERBS:
Angelica
Anise
Basil
Bay Leaves
Black Cohosh
Black Pepper
Boneset
Cedar
Cinnamon
Frankincense and Myrrh
Garlic
Ginseng
Mandrake Root
Mistletoe
Rosemary
Valerian
Vervain
Witch Hazel
Wormwood
CURSES, HEXES, JINXES
before we start, lets define some things:
1) CURSES: long term effects, sometimes lifelong or multigenerational. often invoked with rituals
2) HEXES: have long term effects, but often not lifelong. more generic effects like "bad luck" or "desolation"
3) JINXES: invokes a specific bad event to happen
now, i don't do much work with jinxes, and i've never had a reason to do a full on curse, so my work primarily takes the shape of hexes right now. if you'd like to do any of these types of spells, down below are some herbs you can use.
also practice extreme caution when handling these, and acquire nontoxic variants or parts as available! some herbs are DEADLY toxic just through touch and should be respected!!
Asphodel: invoking spirits (which can assist in spells)
Belladonna: toxic, madness, invoking spirits
Black Mustard: confusion, failure, bad luck
Blackthorn: revenge, binding
Blue Cohosh: breaking up relationships
Boneset: exorcism, boundaries
Celandine: binding, madness
Dragon's Blood: power, banishment
Jasmine: love related issues
Larkspur: banishment
Mandrake Root: toxic, exorcism
Mugwort: dreams and nightmares, insomnia, madness
Mullein: invoking spirits
Nettle: irritation, retribution
Oleander: toxic, bad luck, revealing true self
Poke Root: cord cutting
Pomegranate: binding, love and fertility
Rue: retribution, reversing spells
Thistle: retribution, reversing spells
Wormwood: bad luck, sorrow, bitterness
Yarrow: invoking spirits
OTHER USEFUL MATERIALS:
the general framework for good hex ingredients include things that are visually disgusting or is smelly, sharp, painful, or toxic things, and objects that symbolically represent the harm you want to inflict. to be specific you can use:
salt: consecration, i use it as the base for my jars
rosemary: cleansing, protection
pine needles: spiky, also good for protection
thorns of plants trees or flowers
spicy things (peppers, seasoning, etc.)
sharp things (needles, broken glass, etc.)
food (especially rotten)
railroad ties/other iron objects: exorcisms and banishment
other metals like aluminum cans: can be used for sigils
hand mirrors: for "reflecting" energy
jars, bottles, boxes
cards: using face cards to represent people
small candles
trash: cause it's gross
money
ash/charcoal: protection, enhancing or sealing spells
bones: can be broken to invoke injury, or as a makeshift taglock
expired makeup: to make them feel ugly
vinegar/bleach
receipts/mail ads: monetary issues
dead bugs: cause they're gross
dirt (graveyard, four corners of your property, etc.): invoking spirits or setting a target area
thread: to ensnare or paralyse
note that you can also freeze or burn things for their symbolic effects
