So one of my oldest and closest friends had her children taken away by her ex-husband’s mother, and placed into her care because she was upset that my said friend divorced her controlling and bordering abusive son. I do not appreciate people hurting the people I love, so I put this curse together to not only return said kids to their rightful and loving mom, but to make sure she can never do this to anyone else.

This curse will cause the cursee to loose something of the caster’s choice, and for it to stay out of their grasp– like trying to wrap one’s fist around sand. This curse is semi-permanent– it will reverse on its own if the person involved commits to being a better person and stops this kind of destructive behavior. I used this curse to make sure this woman can never, ever have a child stay in her care again. This curse is very potent. Please only use it if the person you are cursing has done something extreme, like the example above.

You will need;

-Sand, or anything with the consistency of sand (it can be artificial sand, beach sand, pond sand, coloured sand–it doesn’t matter, only the dryness and  consistency does) -A taglock for the cursee (a paper with their first and last name works–make sure it’s flammable) -A small item related to what you want them to loose (I used a Yu-Gi-Oh! card, to represent children, as I associate it with my childhood, but use what is relevant to you) -A dish big enough to fit your small item -A red candle, or a candle of a colour relevant to your goal (I use red because red can symbolize anger) -A stick, or something to mix your sand with (I used a pen) -Cayenne Pepper, or your favourite cursing herb. Make sure it is ground-up. +A sigil on paper to bring further misery (optional) Steps;

Get angry. Think about what the cursee did to warrant such a curse. Get all that negativity and anger up. Light your candle and place it in front of you.

Put your dish between you and the candle and put your item in it. Think about what that item is and what it is you want them to loose–and why. Think about that importance as you pour your sand over it, until you can’t see it.

Light your taglock and sigil if you have one on fire with the candle (Be careful!)  and think about the cursee. Focus on them, and all your anger and hate towards them. Let the ashes fall into the sand. 

Use your mixing tool and mix the ash into the sand. When it is cool enough, use your dominant hand and start mixing it that way.

Sprinkle your cayenne pepper into it as you mix. Pinch and grab at the sand as you do, and feel it slide out of your fingers. Touch, but do not grab the item you used to represent what you want them to loose. Speak out loud what it is you want. In my case, I said “You will not hurt my friend or her children ever again. You will never take away anyone’s children again, and no child will ever stay in your care ever again. Like this sand in my fingers, they will fall from your grasp” Repeat as much as necessary, until your emotions feel like they’ve dissipated.

Take your dish outside, remove your item, and throw the sand out into the dirt to return it to the earth. Say out loud, or think with firm intent, “You can have this back after you have learned your lesson.” (I prefer my curses to have a failsafe. Change as you see fit) Optional; stomp on the sand to further hammer your intent.

Cleanse your space, your dish, and everything else you used except the sand outside. Leave it there, it will do its job.

Disclaimer; I am not responsible for your cursing or how you use this curse, but I only ask that you please only use this curse to deal with extreme situations like what I mentioned above, or excessively cruel or abusive people. Do NOT talk to me about purity, three-fold-laws, sunshine or karma, because as far as I am concerned, karma is a broken bitch.

This is a hex intended to provide long term irritation and discomfort to the target until they’ve learned a specific lesson.

Materials

- 7 white tealights

- 7 thorns (I use bougainvillia or rose but any will do)

- Vinegar

- Sea salt

- Small bottle

- Needle

- Target’s name on paper 

Steps

1. Soak your thorns in vinegar for whatever amount of time you feel you need. I usually leave mine for a few hours

2. Line your seven candles up so that they are next to each other, you can have them in either a row or a circle, whichever you like!

3. Light all your candles and place a thorn in front of each. Picture the energies of each thorn and candle linking to one another.

4. Fold the piece of paper with your targets name so that it has three layers.

5. Needle in one hand and paper in the other, recite the following chant (I like to do another chant more specific to the situation before this one as well). As you speak it, pierce the paper with your needle.

“Mind, body, soul - my hex will take its toll.”

Place the paper and the needle in your bottle for later.

6. Next, repeat the following words. As you say each line, extinguish on of your candles and place its respective thorn into your bottle.

“Seven days of slight unease

Seven nights of restless sleep

Seven dawns of nagging guilt

Seven dusks of bad luck built

Seven days of karma coming

Seven days of endless running

Seven days of all you’ve earned

Until your lesson you have learned

But should the lesson stay unheeded

These seven days shall be repeated”

7. Throw a pinch of salt in the bottle. Meditate with the open bottle for awhile and focus on your intent, allow your energy to flow into it. When you’re ready, seal the bottle. You may use wax for this if you wish.

8. Leave the bottle in a cold, dark place to add to the discomfort. I left mine outside during a storm. Don’t forget to cleanse your space and yourself after performing a hex! Once you feel the bottle has done its work, burn its flammable contents and cleanse everything else.

I like to perform this hex at night on the evening of a new moon, and of course for any hexes or curses a stormy night is always best, however as always your intent is the main ingredient!

Made for an Asshole. A big Asshole. It worked the next day. I wanted this person to feel what they made me feel

Ingredients

—Bayberry (depression) —Cayenne Pepper (anxiety) —Chili Powder (discord) —Dragons Blood (destruction) —Lemongrass (bitterness) —Tobacco (potency) —Pepper (potency) —A black candle —A piece of paper with their name (make sure it’s a piece of paper that big enough to fold in on itself, kind of like an envelope)

So what you do is you take the paper and put it on something that you don’t mind getting wax on. Light the candle near it. Let it burn while you work. Take each ingredient, put your intent into each one, and start covering their name with them. Make sure you let yourself feel what each ingredient means to you as you add them. Get angry. This is what it’s for.

Now you fold the edges of the paper over your ingredients like an envelope. Pour the black wax over it so it’s sealed. You can add sigils or symbols if you want, I personally didn’t.

Now you dispose of it. Throw it away. Flush it down a toilet. Burn it. Do what ever you feel you need to.

Always remember to cleans yourself before and after curses. Before, to make sure you don’t have any influences other than what you want. And after, so you don’t have (super bad) negative energy that can make your life hard. I had to cleanse myself deeply twice.

Sorta, loosely based off the concept of the “Injury Transference” ability from AHS: Coven. It’s a curse to send back pain that a person has caused you, a get even sort of deal. I would recommend this for an abuser who refuses to admit they’ve wronged you and/or still continue to hurt you.

What You’ll Need

A poppet of the target

Bindweed

Bloodroot powder

Chicory

New moon water

Paper

Pen

Black candle

Red sewing thread

Sewing needle

What To Do

Light your black candle and start to write down on the paper everything they’ve done to hurt you.

Take your candle and (carefully) drip the black wax on the edges of the paper.

Fold your paper into a small square as much as you can.

Open your poppet and stuff the bloodroot powder, chicory, and the paper with the wrongs written on it inside it, then after you put enough in sew it back together with the red thread.

Take your bindweed and start wrapping it around the poppet while saying/thinking “Every wrong you’ve done me comes back to you. Feel what I’ve felt, feel the pain you’ve caused me.” as many times as you wish.

Take your poppet wrapped in bindweed and “drown it” in the moon water while saying/thinking “While you feel my pain you will drown in your guilt.”

Once the ritual is complete blow out your candle and put that poppet in a place where it won’t see the light of day. 

This simple curse will bad luck and mayhem into one’s life.

What You’ll Need

The target’s name on a piece of paper

A black or gray candle (can be a scented candle)

A small bowl

A small plate or tea saucer

A paint brush or stick

Cayenne pepper

Chili powder

Lime juice

Onion juice

What To Do

Place your candle behind the bowl and light it.

Take your ingredients and put two tablespoons of each in the bowl.

Mix them together until you get a gross, mushy paste.

Take your stick or paint brush and dip it into the paste.

Take your brush/stick and write “Fuck You” over the target’s name, while doing so say/think every injustice they’ve done you.

Once you’ve finished writing “Fuck You” on their name place the paper on the dish/saucer and drip the wax over it to seal their fate.

End the ritual by blowing out the candle and disposing of everything properly.

Keep that piece of paper in a dark area of your home where it won’t see sunlight.

A curse to make someone realise their wrongdoings and feel guilt for their sins

Ingredients:

🕯 Poppet, taglock, or other representation of the target

🕯 Paper and pen

🕯 Container

🕯 Lemon juice

🕯 Onion powder

🕯Optional: googly eyes

First, take your poppet or other representation of the target. If you have googly eyes, put those on it if possible. Have the surface entirely covered except for the representation’s eyes if it has them.

🕯 Then take your container and line the bottom of it with googly eyes if you have them. Take the pen and paper and list their wrongdoings and then put it into the container along with the representation of the target. Say, “Look at what you’ve done wrong, [target’s name]. [Their wrongdoing(s)] shall always be on your mind. You can never look away from what you’ve done!”

🕯 Then add the lemon juice and onion powder to the container and say, “You shall feel incredible remorse and guilt for [their wrongdoing(s)]. You shall never forgive yourself for [wrongdoing(s)]!”

🕯 If you want this to be a hex, add on, “Until you have done right by me, you shall be forever cursed to feel the utmost guilt for your actions henceforth.”

Lavender to cause depression, lack of sleep and restlessness

Rosemary to taint their dreams

Mint to cause visions, nightmares and paranoia

Chili to cause pain and "sourness"

Burns the herbs in a fire resistant dish. Burn blue candles and lavender incense or dried lavender.

Blue: sadness, anxiety depression

Light blue: anxiety, dream manipulation

Dark blue: nightmares, dream manipulation, fear, terror

Lavender: anxiety, fear, depression, delusion, lack of sleep

Let the herbs slowly burn while you pour your intention to it. Say your intentions out loud; "This person will have terrible nightmares." Have amethysts at hand.

Amethyst: nightmares, illusion, paranoia

Place small pieces of amethyst in the jar/pouch you're using. Pour the herb ashes on top. I like to shake my spell jars to add negative energy.

Place the hex close to the person you're hexing. You can give it to them or you can add something of their own (hair, nails, belongins...). If you can't do that, make it clear who it is intented for.

Cleanse your workspace from negative energy.

Be careful with hexes and curses. Protect yourself and be safe. Blessed be!

You can do cursing/hexing in your kitchen.  Write someone’s name on a slip of paper (or take their picture) and put it in your pot and add vinegar, oils, needles/nails and herbs on the stove, intending your hex on that person.  Toss out like (preferably off your property) when done.  

Most kitchen witches, myself included, keep glass jars and bottles around.  You can take a piece of paper with the person’s name or their picture, put in a jar with oil and herbs and shake it up each time you focus your hexing intent. Obviously the more shaking you do the more intense.  Do till you feel the hexing is done and they’ve stopped their shit.

When cursing/hexing food (or doing the pot trick like I mentioned above), you can also say (from Dorothy Morrison’s Utterly Wicked, pg. 66):

The magic that’s within this dish is meant for (name of target), as is my wish.

On others who may hear its call it shall not have any effect at all.

Pure delight is all they’ll feel as they fill their plates and eat this meal.

But (name of target) it will hit magically

As I will, so mote it be.

Ingredients:

A piece of paper cut into the shape of a tongue, with the target’s name written on the underside, and your name written on top in quotations (like this: “YourNameHere”)

Lemon Juice

Hot sauce

Instructions:

Take the tongue and put a drop of lemon juice and a small squirt of hot sauce over your name. As you do this, say out loud, “My name is a sour flame on your tongue; every time you speak my name, it burns you.”

Roll up the tongue with the hot sauce on the inside, and then light it on fire. As it burns, repeat the incantation 3 times.

Dump the ashes somewhere away from your home, preferably in a nasty dumpster.

**Disclaimer: cursing and baneful magic is always a controversial topic. If you do not like to practice or read about such things then feel free to ignore this post altogether and continue with your scrolling, however - I ask that whatever your personal opinion on the matter, you respect the right of each individual as their crafts is tailored/made/perfected according to their own personal set of morals and not yours.**

Now, onto the curse/hex itself. This could be a hex but it depends on the severity of how this is done.

I made this curse myself for someone who has caused me extreme pain, shame, and guilt over the years, this is just one of the many things I’ve done to rid this person and all of the things they’ve done from my life and to also help me heal from the trauma they’ve inflicted upon me and anyone else. I will not be sharing all of what I did as it is extremely personal.

All of these can be changed out for something as you see fit for your own curse. I also used what I had around the house and bought what I needed. I did this on a Sunday night, you can do this whenever you like.

Be sure to cleanse your space, I did this outside so I upped my wards, shields and allowed the night air to wash over me, strengthening myself and shields.

What's needed:

A sealable jar- something that won’t leak when shaken

Candle - I chose one that made me nauseous just looking at it

super salty water

Hot sauce - any of your choosing is fine, I used siracha

Red pepper flakes

onion powder- a real onion would work as well

Razor blades from a brand new, unused razor

dead bugs

tag lock - picture, piece of paper with name, a poppet of some sort, whatever you like

Bag/box to place jar in

tape, glue, staples, something to keep the bag closed

What to do:

Prep your space - wherever you will be performing the curse and preferred disposal method.

light candle so it has time to melt enough wax

Pour desired amount of salt into jar, fill halfway with water

add red pepper flakes

hot sauce

onion powder

razor blades

desired amount of dead bugs

placed the tag lock into the jar.

Seal the jar, be sure the lid is on tight

Say your incantation/intent as you shake the jar; shake until you feel the tag lock is adequately soaked and covered and until you feel it's been shaken enough then seal with wax.

place in bag, seal, and dispose in preferred way.

How I did it:

I prepped parts of my jar before going outside after the sun had set and it was dark enough that no light except for what I allowed would touch the jar and picture, I poured a large amount of salt into the jar, more than enough to cover the bottom before filling it halfway with water. I then poured red pepper flakes, hot sauce and onion powder into the jar, no measurements just what I felt was enough. I also wrote out the abusers name on the back of their picture as well as the intent of them never being able to hurt me again.

Once outside, I lit the candle and put the razor blades into the jar, the three dead bugs I was able to find in the dark as I waited for the candle to melt enough wax. Once satisfied that I had what I needed in the jar, I placed the tag lock into jar, closed it, and shook it while saying the intent of the curse. Once I felt the jar had been shaken enough I sealed it with wax, placed it in a black gift bag, sealed the bag with tape and then buried it.

Obviously, if you wish to undo this at anytime you’ll need to keep it somewhere that easily accessible to you. And the undoing will be up to you, when I made this I had and still have no intentions of undoing it as per the conditions of my incantation/intent.

Be sure to cleanse your space and yourself before and after performing this curse.

Stay hydrated, eat, rest! Practice some self-care and take care of yourself.
