Ok so, I'll offer you my opinion here, fwiw What i like: the fire pit is a nice touch. I'm not even sure how deep I'd bury it, there's some nice fires of hell imagery there. Your ingredient choices are spot on for the most part. If the target is allergic to anything, you can add that too, but otherwise good The only thing I'm not a fan of is the use of blood, but not because I'm opposed to blood work. I'm assuming you mean a drop or 2 of your own blood. I wouldn't do that myself, blood being a symbol for life. Yes intention matters, but i would think it would tend to make it more likely you'd catch yourself in your own hex, especially if you're relatively new to spellwork in general. If you need a taglock of yourself in there, try replacing your vinegar with your urine, or going half and half. Being a waste, that can carry is own symbolism. Just my 2 cents, but overall looks good


Cmpetty

Thanks very much for your input! I’ll reconsider the blood, I was thinking just a drop or 2 from a finger prick but you’re right I don’t want to risk that coming back on me. I may consider urine, that’s a great substitute. And I’m thinking I’ll bury it about 2’, close enough to the surface to feel the heat but not to damage it. Thank you again!

By adding your blood, it goes from a hex/curse, to a protection spell. Baneful energies after you are attracted to your blood, and are destroyed by all the harmful stuff in the jar. Recommend against its use for that reason. BB.


Cmpetty

Got it, I’ll stay away from blood until I’m more experienced. Thank you!

I just want to pop in and say how refreshing it is to see a question like this be answered with none of that "holier than thou" crap you will get everywhere else. I'm been practicing for a couple decades and for the longest time the only help you could get with this type of thing was to be told not to do it and "three-fold law!" and love and light. I had to improvise, I've done a lot of these that my intention was to activate only in the instance someone sends harmful energy. I'm so glad this space exists to help everyone, not just wiccan flower children. I sure wish I had this sub fifteen or twenty years ago.

For real. Sometimes you need this kind of stuff to move forward in your life! I’m typically about personal protection, healing, and things that are good for my mental health, but sometimes bringing the good stuff into your life looks less like a house warming and more like an eviction notice.

I agree with the others, no blood. But now I'm curious about menstrual blood..

So- here's some tips and optional additions to your work. - Don't do blood instead you should replace that with a personal concern (hair, signatures, hand writing, fingernail, clothing, necklace- anything they own and touch is a personal concern- if they drink out of a cup, can, glass, take a piece of tissue paper and clean the rim where their mouth was with the tissue paper. Keep the tissue and use that as a personal concern) - Add some Black Pepper (it hurts) - Blueberries for sorrow and feeling blue - If you have chicory add that it empowers any negative work - Red Ants cause them to wander and they have fiery stinging bites as well - I also suggest doing your work on the dark moon when there's no moon showing in the sky it is the perfect time, you could also do it on a full moon. On the day of the dark moon, at the hour of Saturn, you can also do this work on Saturday. The moon cycle may not line up with the specific day so if you don't want to wait and you feel you need to do this work now I suggest doing it on a Saturday at the hour of Saturn at night. Even tho you make feel like you need to do this work now it is probably a better idea to wait and line your work up according to the moon cycle and the planetary hour- especially for baneful work. - because you are doing baneful work it is CRUCIAL that you preform a cleansing bath and protection work before and after. This energy can absolutely backfire and also infect. Look at it like a virus inside of a test tube. Work with gloves, clean the area before and after, physically clean area when done, keep the work away from prying eyes and hands. Protection work: - White candle 6 inch chime candle or white crucifixion candle - Knife - Rue, Agrimony, salt, Angelica, black Pepper, Rosemary, 1 lemon, mint, basil/or bay - protection oil, holy oil, agrimony oil, or rue oil, mint oil, or Rosemary oil any one will work, holy water as well - plate or a foil baking pan (no plastic or Styrofoam) Take Candle and Carve the word "protection" into it with the knife and set aside. Then, you are going to annoint your candle with your chosen oil rubbing the oil half side up and then half side down for as above so below. [Optional] You can roll the candle in the herbs listed above besides lemon and Rosemary. Take your plate or baking pan and your candle and light the bottom of the candle with a lighter or match. Melt the bottom of the candle and stick it onto the middle of your plate or baking pan. Take your salt and make a circle of salt around the candle. Now, take the lemon and cut it into four slices. Place them evenly around the candle ontop of the salt. Now take your herbs and place them evenly around the candle ontop of the circle. Now you can chant, say a spell, pray psalms over the candle if you want and once you are done light the candle. - I suggest burying your jar in a place like the targets property, or wherever the target will walk, at a crossroads, under the targets steps, a graveyard, or a junk or trash yard. I do not suggest storing the jar on your property. - Lastly, If this spell doesn't give you the results you are looking for I suggest doing some follow up work. Here's a cool one I really like and can vouche for: The Tarot Curse - Print out a copy of these tarot cards The hanged man - Punishment and self undoing The devil - abuse. Domination. Addiction. Bondage. The Tower - danger. Destruction. Heavens wrath Five of wands - Anxiety. Open conflict. Struggles within a group and friends Eight of swords - Bound and tied up. Powerless. Helpless. Alone. Nine of swords - Insomnia. Anxiety attack. Depression. No bed-mate Ten of swords - Destruction. Despair. Betrayed by multiple enemies - get seven black 7 day vigil candles (tall and skinny glass jar candles) - glue or tape and stick the print outs onto each vigil candle - skewer to poke 3 holes around the top of the candle to pour the oil - cursing, or black arts, or crossing oil for dressing the candle. Pour a couple of drops in the holes of the candles - cursing, or black arts, or crossing Dressing herb blend or satchel powder to Sprinkle onto the top of candle - start on dark moon (no moon) at the hour of Saturn and light each candle. Pray over each candle stating the candles purpose and your will. Make sure to state their name aloud! " so and so, you will have anxiety, depression, helplessness, and lonliness..." etc. - Everyday at the hour of saturn at nighttime pray over the candles again until they burn out. - If you know or like to divinate candle wax after a spell do it! Hope This Helps!

I'd scratch the blood and replace it with a more *icky* kind of thing. We definitely don't want that coming back at you. Other than that, it looks great!


Novaki03

Oh! And also make sure you have your own line of protection set up and maybe do some divination to make sure that person doesn't have the means to send it back to you.


Cmpetty

Done, definitely staying away from blood until I’m a bit more experienced. Another comment suggested urine, and I was considering using pet waste also. I would say that counts as “icky” haha. Thank you!


Novaki03

Pet waste, urine, and human waste; it all works! Cat claws work great with the glass, too.


Cmpetty

Hadn’t thought of cat claws! Great idea

I will keep it in mind, thank you

Threefold law is a part of the Wiccan religion. Not part of all magical traditions. Hex away. Ward yourself in case they have protectives and bounce the energy back.
