The Scratch Curse

amaradarkmoon:

     Inspired by current events in my life (:

     This is a curse to “scratch” your enemy when they are wishing ill upon you or sending you bad energy. 

Things you’ll need:

• A chicken foot (or a sharp claw like object if your not comfortable using animal parts)
• A photo or poppet to represent the target 
• A pouch/something to put things in
• Guinea Peppers 
• Chili flakes
• Black Pepper (optional)
• A black candle
• A red candle

Directions:

     This curse works best preformed when the moon is waning. If you work with deities or spirits, call on them now.

     The first thing you want to do is crush and mix your guinea peppers, black pepper, and chili flakes. While you’re crushing them, get angry. Someone wants the worst for you, wants you to fail and/or suffer- and that’s pretty shitty. Focus on that how your going to do something about it and crush your ingredients with that anger, sadness, disappointment etc. This is you retaliating. Pour your ingredients into your pouch. 

If your using a photo write the persons name on the back and any other information you have to identify them (DOB, Address,etc.). If your using a poppet do the same on a piece of paper or directly onto the poppet. 

Next take your chicken foot or claw like object and scratch the photo/poppet with it three times. Each time repeat this chant with all of your witchy power:

“I scratch you for wishing ill upon me. The ill you wish is now upon you.”

place the photo/poppet in the pouch along with the chicken foot/sharp object. Seal the pouch with black candle wax and then red on top.

It’s ideal to bury the pouch at a crossroads (or cemetery or the targets property) but since that’s not always a possibility- or legal- you can opt for burning it or simply throwing it away in a dumpster (NOT in your home). I actually use the latter for curses and binding spells and it works just fine. After you’ve released the curse in your preferred way, walk away and don’t look back. Also remember to take a different route when heading back home.

Good luck
