Materials:
- A mirror (preferably antique or with a significant past)
- A black candle
- A small piece of paper
- A pen or quill dipped in black ink
- An amulet or charm for protection (for the caster)
Timing:
This curse should be cast on a waning moon, particularly on a Saturday night, to enhance the energy of endings and regret.
Procedure:
- Prepare the Space:
- Find a quiet, dimly lit room. Place the black candle in the center and light it, focusing your intentions on the person you wish to curse.
- Set up the mirror so that it reflects the flame of the candle, but not your own reflection.
- Position the bowl of saltwater beside the candle.
- Focus Your Intent:
- Hold the piece of paper in your hand and visualize the person you wish to curse. Picture them facing their past mistakes, unable to escape the burden of their actions. Feel the weight of the curse in your heart, allowing the energy to build up.
- Write the Name:
- Using the pen or quill, write the name of the person to be cursed on the piece of paper. Below the name, write down their offense or the reason for the curse in short, direct words (e.g., “for betrayal,” “for selfishness”).
- Binding the Regret:
- Take the strand of hair (or object connected to the person) and wrap it around the paper, binding the two together. As you do this, say the following incantation:
By mirror’s reflection and candle’s flame,
May your past rise to torment and maim.
The weight of your deeds, no escape you’ll find,
Regret shall consume both heart and mind.
What’s done is done, yet it’s never gone,
For guilt will grip you from dusk till dawn.
So mote it be.
- Sealing the Curse:
- Dip the bound paper into the saltwater, symbolizing the tears of regret. Let it soak for a moment, and then remove it. Place it in front of the mirror, facing the candle.
- Closing the Ritual:
- Snuff out the candle, but do not blow it out. The flame’s sudden end symbolizes the closing of a chapter in their life, forcing them to face their unfinished emotional business.
- Leave the bound paper in a safe place where it will remain undisturbed until the curse has taken effect. Afterward, you can burn it or bury it far from your home to release the energy.
- Protect Yourself:
- Wear the protective amulet or charm you prepared. This will shield you from any backlash or unintended consequences of the curse.
- Completion:
- The curse will take hold slowly, manifesting as moments of sudden regret, sleepless nights, and an inability to shake off haunting memories. Be mindful of your energy and the potential karmic consequences of casting such a curse.
Final Note:
Curses like this should not be cast lightly. Ensure that your reasons are just and that you are prepared to face any potential rebound of the curse’s energy. Use protection and caution in all dealings with curses.
