Purpose:
The Curse of the Shattered Heart is designed to break someone emotionally, causing their relationships to crumble and their heart to feel empty and hollow. It’s meant to instill a sense of loneliness, sadness, and emotional distance in the target, leaving them disconnected from others and from themselves. This curse can be used in situations where the target has caused heartbreak, betrayal, or emotional damage.
Materials:
- A red candle (symbolizing the heart)
- A black ribbon
- A shard of broken glass or a small mirror fragment
- A small pouch or cloth to wrap the shard
- A piece of paper and a black pen
- A needle or pin
- A rose (preferably dried, symbolizing lost love)
- A small bottle of water (preferably collected from rain or a sorrowful place)
- Salt (for protection)
Timing:
Cast this curse on a Friday night under a waning moon, as Friday is associated with Venus, the planet of love, and the waning moon draws away energy and emotion.
Procedure:
- Prepare the Space:
- Light the red candle in a quiet, dimly lit room. Place the materials in front of the candle. Draw a circle of salt around your workspace to protect yourself from any negative energy that could be released.
- Sit calmly and focus your mind on the heartbreak or betrayal that brought you to cast this curse. Let the pain and sadness fuel your intention.
- Focus Your Intent:
- Take the piece of paper and, with the black pen, write the name of the target. Below their name, write a brief description of the pain they have caused (e.g., “For breaking my trust,” or “For causing heartbreak”).
- Fold the paper tightly and place it in front of the candle.
- Shatter the Heart:
- Hold the shard of broken glass or mirror fragment in your hands. This represents the target’s heart, now fragile and broken. Imagine their emotions becoming distant, their connections with others falling apart. Channel your pain and intention into the shard as you speak the following words:
Heart once whole, now torn and shattered,
Connections lost, emotions scattered.
Cold as glass, brittle as stone,
By this curse, you’ll walk alone.
Shattered heart, no love to find,
Emptiness will cloud your mind.
- Binding the Curse:
- Take the black ribbon and wrap it tightly around the shard of glass or mirror, binding the curse. Tie three knots in the ribbon, each one securing the spell further. With each knot, say:
By knot of one, the heart is broken.
By knot of two, no words are spoken.
By knot of three, the love will flee.
- Prepare the Pouch:
- Place the ribbon-bound shard and the folded paper into the small pouch or cloth. Add the dried rose, symbolizing the loss of love and connection.
- Sprinkle a few drops of the water over the items in the pouch, representing tears shed from sorrow. As you do this, speak:
Tears of loss, tears of grief,
You’ll find no solace, no relief.
Love has gone, heart turned to dust,
By this curse, your soul shall rust.
- Seal the Curse:
- Seal the pouch tightly and hold it in your hands, focusing on the intention of emotional emptiness and loss. Visualize the target becoming increasingly isolated, their relationships with others crumbling, and their heart growing colder.
- Once the image is clear in your mind, snuff out the red candle (do not blow it out, as it symbolizes the extinguishing of the target’s emotional warmth).
- Bury or Hide the Curse:
- Take the sealed pouch and bury it in a place where it will not be disturbed, such as under a tree or near a place of sorrow. Alternatively, you can hide it in a dark, secret place. As you do this, say:
Hidden deep, the curse will lie,
To break your heart, to make you cry.
No love shall come, no warmth, no flame,
Only sorrow shall remain.
So mote it be.
- Protection and Cleansing:
- After completing the ritual, scatter the salt around your space to cleanse any lingering negative energy. Wash your hands with cold water to symbolically remove yourself from the curse’s influence.
- If needed, burn protective herbs (such as sage or rosemary) to ensure that none of the curse’s energy remains with you.
Completion:
The curse will begin to take effect gradually, causing the target to feel emotionally distant, disconnected from loved ones, and unable to form or maintain meaningful relationships. They will feel the weight of their emotional emptiness and struggle to connect with their heart and the hearts of others.
Final Note:
The Curse of the Shattered Heart is a powerful and emotionally destructive curse. It should only be cast with full awareness of its potential impact on the target. Be sure to protect yourself throughout the ritual, and consider the long-term consequences before invoking such a strong emotional disruption.
