Nail Clippings (a mix of your own and that of a black dog’s are ideal)
A Jar
Ribbons or Shreds of Fabric
Vinegar
Red, Hot Peppers, dried
Garlic, 3 or 9 cloves, broken but not peeled
Personal Affect, of he/she you seek to cross
Optional:
Urine
Rotted Meat
Crossing Oil, of your choosing
Goofer Dust
(1) Black Candle
Begin by priming your jar: wash and rinse with vinegar, then allow it to dry naturally or in the oven at the lowest setting. Once dry, the inside can be primed with the optional crossing oil by applying a small amount to an old rag and covering the entirety of the jar’s inner walls.
Next, on your ribbons or strips of fabric (which are better viciously ripped than precisely cut), write the name of he/she you wish to curse – in numerals of three. Alternately, you can write what you seek to inflict upon them, but that absolutely requires that you incorporate a person affect, whereas in the former, it could theoretically be omitted. Add to the jar the peppers and garlic.
Add in the nail clippings, the personal affect and the ribbons, lid and give a gentle shake. Remove the lid
(add in any other optional items – sans Black Candle or Urine) and recite the following as you fill the jar with vinegar (or urine, or a mix of both):
Cut the fat and dice the skin – flay the wretch who bore this sin;
That of dog and Witch’s claw – behest, infernal forces draw;
Tear asunder, limb-from-limb – done from me, so unto him.
Lid the jar and shake again, imagining them being torn to pieces by an onslaught of terrible creatures.
(You may then affix the black candle to the lid of the jar and dress it with crossing oils. Light it and read:
Beacon of the Beasts delight – I cast you out, into the night;
Fulfill for me, this frightful sight – conjured in the Witch’s mind;
Allow it thusly to burn down and dispose of in the following manner)
It is tradition to break the jar on the stoop/porch or sidewalk before your victim’s house – however, alternately, it can be buried in the cemetery near a stone that shares their name or lest as a crossroads.
Begin by mixing black mustard seeds with a blend of powdered red, chile pepper and sulphur. Reserve a few tablespoons and use the rest to cast a small working circle. Within, draw the above seal with red or white chalk.
Upon the seal, take a walnut and carefully crack it open down the “seam” doing as little damage as possible. Remove the nut from within and pulverize it. Blend the powdered nut with the reserved mustard/chile mixture and return it to the shell. You may recite a curse – naming the target, or simply spit maliciously therein with their name (and your intention) on your lips.
Seal the halves as best you can with wax from a black hex-candle (an inverted black candle that has been lit from the bottom) and wrap around with black thread or yarn nine times. You may then seal it further with the wax if you so choose.
Bury this in their yard or place it in a black bag and hang it from a tree upon their property. The madness will come.
Add a little zing to the ritual by tossing in a sprinkle of goofer dust and/or bathing the charm in crossing oil.
Used to bring sickness – physical, mental or spiritual – to your victim. It can be drawn on their doorstep, its ashes added to crossing powder, or drawn over a photo of them.
To make Poison Dagger Powder: combine black mustard seed, the dirt from a hospital, a powdered, poisonous plant of your choosing (though one that is not dangerous with mere skin contact is recommended), 3 powdered (red) chiles, the ashes of the Dagger and (optionally) the ashes of Deuteronomy 32:24 –
“They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague and bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.”
“Hell hath no fury…” As the title suggests, this working is to render a man impotent for any reason deemed fit, though adultery/unfaithfulness are leading contributors. Or maybe he’s just a sum’bitch, who am I to question? If there’s a man in your life who needs to pay for something – few things are quite as effective as this.
Recipe
Measurements** – cut to length in black thread/string
Black Candle – taper or federal
Acorn
Mint (dried)
Item of the man’s clothing – underwear are ideal, but other
garments will work – black cloth otherwise
Optional:
Aconite/Wolfs’ Bane –
**poisonous, be wary**
Whiskey – hah!
Instructions
Begin by cutting out a square (6×6 ;; 8×8) from the
underwear (I was going to make a pun about being brief here, but it was so awful I had to remove it), clothing or
black cloth and soak it in whiskey or a strong tea of mint. Leave it soaking
while you work the rest of the ritual.
Take your black candle and, using the measurements, cut the
candle down to the correct size and carve his name into it. It works better to
cut from the top of the candle instead of the bottom, as then it can still be
placed snugly in an aptly sized candle-holder. You may – at this point – dress
the candle in Devil’s Oil, X Oil or any crossing oil you fancy. Light the
candle.
While the candle burns, take the original measures and,
while thinking of your desire, fold the length in half and place three knots
(one in the center, then one on either end). As a note, depending on the size,
you may find it easier to use thread – sometimes when you fold it in half you’re
left with very little room…. Thread is easier to knot in tight spaces than a
heavier string or twine. With a hammer, or other violent instrument, pound the
acorn to smithereens and collect what remains. Add the acorn dust to your dried
mint and give a brief stir with your finger to incorporate. You may also, at
this point, burn a scrap of paper with their name on it (paired possibly a
rather fitting incantation) and incorporate the ash into the blend.
When the candle has burned down and only an inch or so
remains, extinguish the candle and then (in much the same manner as the acorn)
pound it and any melted pieces into “shards.” Mix them into the mint/acorn
mixture.
Fetch your scrap of fabric from the whiskey/tea and give it
a wring. Upon it, pile the tied length of string and your herb mixture (as well as your Aconite). Gather
the corners and tie with another piece of twine or thread. Bury it in the
graveyard and leave the tea/whiskey as an offering.
**Measurements/measures: the length of a man’s penis cut,
most often, into string or fabric – the more precise the measurement, the
better. Used in instances of control, love, etc.

This rather simple ritual could easily be construed as a
curse, but to label it simply as such would be a bit premature. A curse is
punishment for action, and while this ritual does return any ill-will they may
have inflicted upon you, its true purpose is cleansing: cleansing you of your
anger (or any other residual emotions) toward them and theirs aimed at you. It
is punishment for their actions, but not for their emotions – which I think is
a subject often neglected when it comes to curses. While it is their actions
that have hurt you, these actions stem from emotion and if that emotion is not
dealt with, a curse can only correct their action via punishment (indirectly).
This ritual is intended clear that resentment as much as it is to return what
harm they may have inflicted on you.
The Black Serpent is fire – it is cleansing and it is
destructive: it is the insatiable inferno devouring vice and it is the flaming
spear that impales those who seek your destruction. It is preservation – for
it is the Anchor that binds us to the physical world, so that we might face our
trials and learn from these tribulations.
Ritual
The methodology for this ritual is very lax and craves
personalization. I offer unto you only a generalized course of action that may
be adapted in whatever way a witch sees fit. I do – however – encourage the
use of fire, as (mentioned above) the Serpent is ruled by it. A personal affect
or photo of he/she to whom you will dispatch the Serpent is also recommended.
To begin, light your fire – Spirit Fire would work very
well – and present, before the flames, your target. Conjure the Serpent:
From the Earth – from the Depths, Hark: Black Serpent
rise – From the poisoned garden, From the earthly cauldron, From my shadow – born, There is – yet – work to be done:
While the “hymn” suggests the Serpent’s lair is
within the Earth, it resides at your spine (where its divine twin – the Light
Serpent, your Soul/Spirit – coils around it) and anchors you thusly to the
Earth. Offer to the flames the affect or photo – command the Serpent:
Go forth now – at my behest, To the throat of my transgressor: Wreak on them thy vicely clench – and Dip thy poisoned-tooth to vein, Devour at their prideful altar, And bestow on them – my wrath,
When you feel the Spirit or energy of the other person and
have developed a temporary bond, proceed:
Oh great serpent – writhing Anchor to the middle world: Bind the eyes – From seeing; Bind the tongue – From speaking lies; And bind the mind – That does derive falsehoods From my Truth, Feed – O carnal beast of man, On their deception – their predilection For my misery, And in thy gilded gullet – Imbued with my redemption – Churn the harbored hate They hold, And turn out – unto me Nubile and golden Blessings That I might wear As a diadem Of Victory;
When the work is done and when you have been purged of your
anger, sadness, etc., call the Serpent home:
Hark, my Shadow servant – return, From whence you came, Gorged on vice and anger, To the Earth – to the Depths, To the black specter that trails Ever behind me – Til’ I call on thee again.
Extinguish the fire – the working is complete.

Black dogs have long since been symbols of misfortune, omens
of death and undeniably connoted with the Underworld – Anubis, Hecate, Cerberus
– all patrons the Crossroads: the bridge into the Unknown. This cross is
formulated to bring down a steady stream of misfortune, one that grows with
each passing day until this great weight plummets your victim into madness,
paranoia and paralyzing fear. You are, after all, releasing the Hounds of Hell –
it wasn’t going to be a pretty process. Be warned, reigning them in is much
harder to do than letting them hunt.
The process is relatively simple, but one that takes a particular breed (no pun intended) of concentration – you’re going to want to summon up the most violent, angry and feral parts of yourself to make this one come perfectly to fruition.
(A hound’s-tooth necklace also helps)
Things You Will Need:
Black Dog Hair – from a solid black dog, not from one with any white – it’s IMPERATIVE.
Black and white dogs have an entirely separate symbolism.
Sulfur
Raw Meat
Black Salt
Black Fabric
(2) Iron Nails
A strong, red wine – such as Merlot
Black string (any sort will do)
A person affect of he/she you wish to cross – foot-tracks
would be best, but most anything will do
Instructions:
Begin by soaking your black square of fabric (8in x 8in
should suffice) in the red wine. It only need be wet, remove and allow to dry
in the sun (or in the oven if you’re in a hurry).
Take a cut of meat (it needn’t be large – about an inch
square) and “season” it with a generous portion of salt and sulfur.
Take your first nail (dressed with a crossing oil of your choosing, if you
wish) and secure the personal affect to it, driving the nail through the meat.
Wrap the black dog hair around the second (if the hair is
long enough, if not, just dampen the nail with water/oil and affix the hair as
best you can). Drive this perpendicularly to the other nail through the cut of
meat – speaking or visualizing that which you seek to accomplish.
If the nails are small enough, lay the trick on the fabric,
gather the corners and cinch with the black string – creating a bag. If they
are too long, simply lay the trick on the fabric and gather the corners between
the nails, and tie at its center – leaving you with jutting nails and quite the
statement.
Leave the trick at the foot of the central cross in the cemetery
– having paid your way in, or at a very dark, deserted crossroads.
The cross is done.
As is customary, when your wishes are fulfilled, leave for
them a gift in the same location – again, meat is always welcomed.
