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.
A bonfire (kindled with willow and charcoal — actual charcoal)
An Ash tree limb
(3) or (6) iron nails or (1) railroad spike
A scant handful of sulfur
(Optional) A personal affect of he/she you are cursing
Affix the personal affect with the iron nails or railroad spike, all while thinking of the person you wish to inflict devastation.
With the branch, trace counterclockwise (3) times, then turn on your heels and trace over the line (6) times clockwise while reciting the following incantation. Do not falter in concentration, and focus your mind like a dagger on your victim.
Feel the coals beneath your feet, The nails beneath your skin, You will seek the sun, But like the will in the swamp, It will bury you, In the Earth, And the rotted tendrils, Of the Ash, Will rectify my soul, You have walking in my shadow, And now it must consume you, Do not fear the Reaper, For my will is swift, And she the only recourse,
Willow, willow, will-o’-the-wisp, The night is setting in, Come ye now, Of Ash and Fire, Justify my soul,
Willow, willow, will-o’-the-wisp, Fulfill, fulfill my darkest desire,
*with the final words, toss the limb into the fire*
Ignus Faatus, Locutus Sum.
*toss in the handful of sulfur — and stand back, sulfur dioxide and the like*
Allow the fire to burn out, tending to it, making sure to allow all of the ash limb to burn. Retrieve the nails and either drive them in the yard of your victim, or tie them together with a length of twine, wrap them in black fabric and put them in a saltbox until your will is done.
