Purpose:
The Curse of Sleepless Nights is intended to plague the target with insomnia, restlessness, and troubled dreams. This curse slowly erodes their energy and peace of mind, leaving them feeling drained, anxious, and unable to rest. It’s suitable for someone who has caused you harm or stress and now deserves to experience the torment of sleeplessness.
Materials:
- A black candle
- A white piece of paper and black pen
- A small handful of dried lavender (for twisted peace)
- A few drops of lavender essential oil or vinegar (to sour rest)
- A strand of hair, nail clipping, or a small personal item of the target (optional)
- A piece of black cloth or a small pouch
- A needle or pin
- A mirror (to reflect the curse)
- A small bowl of salt for protection
Timing:
Perform this curse at midnight, preferably during a waning moon to draw away peace and rest from the target.
Procedure:
- Prepare the Space:
- In a dimly lit room, light the black candle. Place the mirror in front of the candle to reflect its flame, symbolizing the target’s own mind trapped in reflection and unrest.
- Place the salt around your workspace in a circle to protect yourself from the negative energy created during the ritual.
- Focus Your Intent:
- On the piece of paper, write the target’s full name and a brief description of the harm they have caused you. This could be something like, “For causing me sleepless nights,” or “For bringing unrest into my life.”
- Visualize the target lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Imagine their mind racing, haunted by restless thoughts and troubled dreams.
- Infuse the Lavender:
- Take the dried lavender and sprinkle it over the piece of paper. Lavender is traditionally used for peace and sleep, but in this curse, you will twist its purpose to cause disrupted rest.
- Add a few drops of lavender essential oil or vinegar over the lavender and paper. As you do this, say:
Lavender sweet, now turned to dread,
Twist their peace, invade their head.
Where rest should come, let fear reside,
In sleepless nights, they cannot hide.
- Binding the Curse:
- Fold the paper tightly, trapping the lavender and oil inside. If you have a personal item of the target (like a strand of hair or nail clippings), place it inside the fold.
- Wrap the folded paper in the black cloth or place it in the small pouch, sealing it with the intent to disrupt the target’s sleep.
- Seal with a Needle:
- Take the needle or pin and prick your finger, allowing a single drop of blood to fall on the cloth or pouch. If you prefer not to use blood, you can use black ink as a substitute. As you do this, recite the following incantation:
By this drop, your peace is gone,
Sleepless nights shall linger long.
No rest shall come, no dreams will stay,
Until the night consumes the day.
- Mirror Reflection:
- Hold the cloth or pouch in front of the mirror, reflecting the curse back toward the target. Imagine the target’s mind filling with racing thoughts, unable to find rest. Let the energy of sleeplessness grow in the mirror’s reflection.
- As you focus, say:
Reflected mind, restless soul,
Dreams shall flee, nights take their toll.
In this mirror, may it be,
Sleepless nights, eternally.
- Bury or Hide the Curse:
- Take the sealed pouch or cloth and bury it near the target’s home or in a dark place where it won’t be disturbed. If you can’t bury it, hide it in a secret place.
- As you bury or hide the curse, say:
As I bury this, so too your sleep,
Shall flee from you, restless and deep.
No comfort found, no peaceful night,
Until your mind gives up the fight.
So mote it be.
- End the Ritual:
- Extinguish the black candle without blowing it out (snuff it), symbolizing the end of peace for the target. Scatter the protective salt outside your home to cleanse the space.
- Wash your hands with cold water to symbolically cleanse yourself of the curse’s energy and ensure it doesn’t affect you.
Completion:
The curse will take effect slowly, with the target beginning to experience trouble sleeping, restless nights, and eventually even nightmares. As their sleep continues to deteriorate, their energy will drain, leaving them anxious and fatigued.
Final Note:
The Curse of Sleepless Nights is a subtle yet effective way to disturb someone’s peace and wear them down mentally and physically. As with all curses, take care to protect yourself and fully understand the consequences before casting.
