An ancient italian ritual: The Wooden Pin (Italian: un antico rituale italiano; ll Cavicchio)
Hi everyone! This is my first write about witchcraft on my blog. Please be clements with my english ‘cause i’m usually write spells in italian so for me this could be a little bit difficult! This ritual is called “Il Cavicchio” in Italy and it is an ancient spell of “striaria” (the italian sorcery, originary from Etruscan). It’s a very simply -but powerful- spell that you can use to bless or curse anyone, depends on wich wood you choose. The requirements are simply to found because in this culture the ingredients for a spell belong to the agrarian world.
Requirements: • a walnut wood (for blessing) • a durmast wood (for cursing) • a twine • your wand/athame • of course your magic! Execution: The best period to do this spell is on summer solstice or in the Saint John’s night (23th of June), but however you can do in every period of the year as long as with fullmoon and on midnight between friday and saturday. Pick up a long wood of walnut and on of durmast and you will leave them on a roof (the tradition wants that no animals had pee on) untill they will dry, so you have to wait 15 days and 15 night, thanks to this the woods will receive the influences of universal energies. After that you must clean up wood from leafs and other imperfections and carve them making a recess thanks to witch you can tie them together (use the twine in this passage). Leave the cross obtained one night exposed to the sky (for the energies) and than you have to say: “Virga et baculus me consolata sunt” at the same time, with your athame (or wand, if you are capable!) divide the woods saying: “Divide et impera” And IT’S DONE! The spells is finish and now you can use this to blessing someone or crusing him. If you want to bless, you have to pick the walnut wood and plant it anywhere in the home of the interested person (a plant in his/her apartament, in the garden, hang up on the wall etc) and you have to say: “Ave nux, spes unica hoc passionis gloria!” For cursing anyone you have to do same thing but you have to pronunce: “What i plug, must be plugged to my enemy”. And you have to think about what you want to plug (nutriment, urinate, thinking and even breathing). Okay, i’ve finish here! Thanks to read this and, again, excuse me for my bad english but i hope you appreciate the spell and you understand that.
