“ Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives… …I’ll smash it with a hammer! It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!”
1. Make a poppet or something in the likeness of your target. Make it very small.
2. Put poppet in a box and mark it ‘flea.’
3. Put the box in another box.
4. Mail it to yourself or have another friend deliver it.
Call me old-fashioned, but I am a strong believer that
curses inherently have the power to help as much as they have to harm. While
witches have used them maliciously countless times, I prefer to learn towards
curses that not only seek justice, but change ways. This is of the latter
variety – meant not to damn (for the sole purpose of damnation), but to
enlighten through disciplinary action. To force someone to see through the eyes
of another, for the oppressor to feel his/her own oppression – to walk a mile
in another person’s shoes. Hence the title: Walk-A-Mile.
Here I will present three variations to the hex, hopefully
befitting a number of different circumstances, budgets and personal tastes.
Walk-A-Mile #1
This one is (objectively) the simplest of the three as far
as supplies go, but is heavily reliant on the witch’s ability to acquiesce the
foot-tracks of their victim and the power of time. I’ll be the first to note
how difficult that can be at times – and one of the reasons I have created
numerous variations to fulfill the same basic objective.
Things You Will Need:
Glass Bowl/Jar/Cup
(9) Nails – as per usual, iron being the best, but this one
can be accomplished with any make
Dirt of the Foot-Track
Instructions:
Again, this one is quite simple – merely fill the glass
vessel with the dirt. Optionally: add to this dirt Hoot Foot Powder, Goofer
Dust or drizzle with your favorite crossing oil.
When the dirt has been added and lightly packed down, take
the first of the nine nails (again, can be primed with an oil of your choosing)
and drive it directly into the center of the dirt – naming your victim and
whose misfortune you wish to inflict upon them.
This is where the process can get a little timely. Take one
of the remaining 8 nails, driving one in every day for 9 days (the original
nail being Day 1) – each time repeating the name of your victim and the
misfortune. Ex. (Victim), take upon yourself the misery you have inflicted.
When all the nails have been added, allow them to remain in the dirt for
another 9 day period.
After the 18 day period, begin the last 9 days by removing
one of the 9 nails each day – speaking something to the extent of: From your
sorrows, you will grow. Each day, repeating the process until all 9 of the
nails have been removed.
On the last day, return the foot-track from whence it came,
sprinkle it on the land of the victim, or scatter on the pavement of a road.
Ritually wash the nails so they might be reused or drive them into the earth of
their property, where every day they might cross them as a reminder.
Walk-A-Mile #2
The process is relatively the same, but can be accomplished
in a shorter period of time with a few added “ingredients.” This one also has
the benefit of not requiring the foot-tracks of your victim, but a personal affect
is still required.
Things You Will Need:
(1) Old Shoe – not your own, unless you seek to make them
walk-a-mile in your shoes. I recommend a Goodwill or second-hand shop wherein
you might find a cheap, old pair of shoes – just make sure to ritually cleanse
them unless you want to risk dragging a stranger into the mix.
(9) Nails – iron or otherwise
A Hammer
The Shoe Laces or a length of string
A Personal Affect (or at least their name)
Instructions:
Begin by affixing the affect to the shoe in some way. For a
name you need only write it on the shoe, some things work better stuffed
inside, others are better held onto and affixed later. This is a decision that
must be left to the witch cursing – it’s all a matter of taste.
Now, for the fun part. Turn the shoe upside down on a sturdy
work surface (outside and on concrete probably being the best idea). Using the
hammer, drive the first nail into the center of the sole. Depending on the type
of shoe, it may be easier to drive nearer the toe than the heel, as heels are
often tougher and thicker.
This has the added beauty of angrily hitting things, which
is a useful energy for curses. Similar to the first variation, make sure to
note who you are afflicting and the parameters of your desires. With the first
nail through, add the others in a cross-like fashion. One above, one below, one
to the left, and one to the right. Drive the remaining 4 nails in at the
diagonal – making a box design with one nail in the center, or 3 vertical lines
of 3 (which ever you see it as).
Flip the shoe back over and (if your shoe has laces) pull
them as tight as you can, working and tightening them as you work down the
laces. If you shoe doesn’t have laces, simple bind the entire shoe with twine
or string, leaving a good length for the “ears” (you’ll see why in the next
point).
To complete the working, take the shoe and string it up: 1)
in a cemetery, 2) in a tree in the victim’s yard (this one has the added
benefit of freaking the victim out) or 3) hanging it anywhere where they might
see it.
The cross is complete.
Walk-A-Mile #3
This one is somewhat a combination of the first two, and
also requires a personal affect, name, or foot-track (as always, being most
preferable). This one requires only a rudimentary knowledge of sewing (just a
straight/running stitch) and a collection of sewing pens; ending in something
like a charm.
What You Will Need:
Fabric (no more than an 8inx8in square should be necessary;
design, color, etc. are unimportant)
Needle and Thread (Black would be best, but really it doesn’t
matter)
Personal Affect
Sewing Pins
(Optional: Stuffing if your personal affect is not
substantial enough to fill the charm, graveyard dirt (paid for) is a perfect
stuffing)
Instructions:
Sketch out a rough foot shape on your folded-over square of
fabric – roughly 3 by 4.5 inches. Depending on what you intend to stuff it with
(for instance dirt would require a tighter stitch), stitch from the curve of
where the heel begins around the front and to the other side (leaving the heel
unstitched) – allot a .5in to .75in seam allowance and trim the excess. Flip
inside out.
Add into the pocket the personal affect and stuffing, pinch
the heel and stitch it closed – giving you a sealed, foot-shaped charm. (At
this point, you could add a tie or string so that the charm may be hung or
carried)
With sewing pins at the ready, drive them one-by-one into
the foot – speaking just as the other variations require, who you wish to
inflict and the parameters. You can add as many or as few pins as you want, but
for best results use multiples of 9 (9,18,27…), with each one, repeating the aforementioned
phrase.
When all the pins have been pushed it, keep in a visible
place (on a key-chain or hanging from a car mirror being two good options), so
that anytime you see it and think about it, the hex grows. When the victim has
grown or you feel it has run its course, remove the pins, cleanse them and burn
the rest.
And the weak shall fear the Thu’um, and flee in terror.
DISMAY: A CURSE
Things you’ll need
Your voice
A representation of the target (a photo or poppet)
Something the target is afraid of; this could be a photo or drawing, or if you don’t know anything the target is afraid of specifically, you could conjure up feelings of paranoia to send in their direction
A jar or box
If you are picking an alternative object of terror (paranoia or something that is generally thought of as “scary”) it is very important that you do NOT think of something that you personally are afraid of. You don’t want to accidentally target yourself!
Focus on the target, and imagine them encountering the object of their fear. Imagine them filling to the brim with fear. They see their fear around every corner, in every dark shadow. Spiders come up from the sink drain, or bees fly in from every open window. When your image of the target is filled with their terror and paranoia, Shout the Words with as much force as you can muster. Place the target’s representation and the object of their fear in the box or jar, and seal it. Place it in a safe, dark place.
When you feel like your curse has run its course, dispose of the box or jar.
What you need:
Lemon (to bring problems to their lives)
Nails (to bring pain)
Twine black ( for banishing)
Dragons blood ink ( for magical potency) {or regular ink if you don’t have any }
Knife
Scissors
Step one : write the name / names of the people you want to curse. As you write the names concentrate on how they will no longer hurt you.
Step two: cut the names into pieces so that they will fit into the lemon.
Step three: cut the lemon into slices that correspond with the number of people getting cursed.
Step four: place the names between the slices, then hold them closed together with the nails and twine, focusing on how they will have pain and sorrow. Now they are bound to the curse and can no longer hurt you.
Step five: you can dispose of the cursed lemon any way you see fit so that they are out of your life.
1) Imagine the target while making four cast ons, building negative energy as you work. (I use four because of the association with death in various cultures, but if you have a particular negative association with a different number feel free to use that instead)
2) As you start knitting stitches imaging tangling up the recipient of the curse in restraints. If you are doing a tighter knit, perhaps the restraints are cutting their spiritual self. Continue knitting these stitches until you have a length large enough to give to the person as a gift (ex. hair tie, bracelet, choker, scarf) or until you have ran out of rage/yarn (whichever comes first)
3) As you cast off say the following:
As I cast off this hatred, may you be strangled by this red rope.
As I have binded you, may your endeavors fail.
As these ties are done may these numbers triumph in bringing you pain
May these work be done on to you, and may my energy not return to cause me harm.
4) Give the gift to your victim if possible, if not place it in a container with their picture.
This curse was created to bind someone with their own greed, need for power, and the wrong that they have done, and make them realize what they have become, based off of how the One Ring corrupted the bearer of the ring (though this will only affect the person this curse is aimed at).
Supplies:
Yarn or String (at least a few inches long)
Scissors and/or fire (To break the curse)
Steps:
Begin by taking a length of yarn or string, and visualize the end of it tying onto the target’s finger.
Loop the yarn, and tie it together into a circle. Make the knot as tight as you can.
Continue by wrapping the extra yarn around the “ring”, and as you go, chant “One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them”.
Once you come to the end of the yarn, knot it on the ring, and visualize it trapping all of the greed/any bad that the target has done to them.
Put the “ring” somewhere it will not be disturbed.
To break the curse: Cut into the ring with scissors, making sure to cut the knots, and toss it into a fire (the fire is optional, and please use proper fire safety)
To have a problem return to the target, over and over and over again
What you will need: – Moon water – Iron or rust – Three prong fidget spinner – Pen and paper and tape
Soak the iron in the moon water. On the paper, write or draw symbols for Waxing, Full, and Waning. Attach them to the spinner prongs. In the center, write the target’s name.
Place a drop of the water on the papers and spin the spinner clockwise. Recite:
Over and over and over Again and again and again May your troubles return Keeping peace outside your grasp
·
Poppet-this should be dough or clay, something
easily malleable and preferably water soluble.
·
Marker
Steps
·
Take your poppet and mark it in such a way that
it is unmistakably a Nazi. If you are uncomfortable drawing a swastika, write
words like Nazi, Racist, White Supremacist, or Evil on it.
·
Recite: I curse all Nazis to be punched like
this one.
·
Punch until you can’t tell what it is anymore.
·
Dispose of by throwing in garbage or flushing
down the toilet.
Locate the target on a map and point your body in that direction.
Lift your arms in a mimickry of drawing an arrow back on a bowstring.
As you pull the ‘arrow’ back, feel your anger towards this person in the area of your heart, touching your heart with your drawing hand. Imagine that the anger in your heart is a poison that has now drenched your arrow.
Let the arrow fly loose in the person’s direction, carrying with it the poison.
may the bridges I burn light the way
