Because sometimes you want one who has wronged you to suffocate in the water the way you did, with no life line to crawl out.
disclaimer: don’t use this willy-nilly. it is designed to be a lasting curse, not a once off, so be absolutely certain you want your target suffer long term. it can be undone once you feel they’ve suffered enough.
INTENT:
So first things first, this is not a nice curse (not that any curse is really “nice” but, still). This curse is intended to cause your target to either have their feelings of sorrow, pain, sadness, isolation, fear, paranoia, etc amplified or to create situations in which these feelings occur and are magnified; It’s method of working really depends on your target and their current level happiness.
MATERIALS:
- a jar with a lid (to hold your poppet and your water)
- a cloth poppet (it does need to be cloth as you want it to soak up the water and hold it)
- needle and thread (for making the poppet)
- storm water (you’ll want enough to fill your jar, but if you haven’t had a good storm, you can use ice water, because the ocean is cold af and that’s where we’re stickin this guy)
- a small but heavy stone to weigh down the poppet (or two or three, however many you want, whatever. just make sure they can fit in the poppet)
- small strips of paper
- a black marker or pen (I prefer marker because it bleeds through the paper, soaking the intent in completely)
METHOD:
(i am a very methodical person who likes things done in a certain way, so this will be a detailed step by step of what i did. you do not have to use the exact same placements as i did)
Firstly, gather all your shtuff together at your work space. Jar with lid and bowl of storm water to your left, stone(s) and poppet material in front, paper and marker to your right.
Now, create your poppet. He doesn’t need to be pretty and his stitching doesn’t have to be even (in fact, it’d be easier for the water to seep in and drown him if the stitching was slightly spaced), but you do want him to be about medium size so he can fit your stone(s). Leave a large enough hole in the top to stick in the stone(s), stuff those suckers in, and sew up the hole. Sit him back in front of you next to the food coloring. Glare at him every so often while doing the rest, if you like. Cackle manically. Take a sip of wine. Hum Delta Rae’s Bottom of the River. Whatever.
Now, take your jar and set it in front of you; then take your marker and paper and write down all the emotions you want to throttle your little dude with: sorrow (of course), fear, paranoia, loneliness, general sadness, the feeling of wanting to cry all the time. Whatever emotions you want them to feel that are sad and depressing. Toss the bits of paper in, set your marker back to your right.
Grab up your storm water and fill your jar about one third of the way; snatch up your poppet (don’t be gentle with him, he’s a little shit, remember?) and toss him in. At this point, he’s a bit chilly but he’s only got his toes in the water. Things are still okay, eh, nothing too bad, he thinks he’ll be alright. Which means now it’s time to drown him. Pour in the rest of the water, almost to the top but not over flowing and watch as it seeps into your poppet, soaking him in pain. Maybe imagine some little bubbles floating from his little poppet mouth, the bastard.
Finally, screw on the lid of the jar and stick it somewhere dark, dank, and spooky and leave it there for a good week or two…or four. The longer it’s there, the longer the curse lasts. I put mine under my sink because we don’t open it often so it’ll stay nice and dark. You don’t want any light to shine on this unless/until you want to undo it. Speaking of….
UNDOING:
If you decide your victim has suffered enough, take the jar out from where you stashed it and take it outside. Take out your bits of paper (if they haven’t disintegrated), take out your poppet, and return the storm water to the land so it can be cleansed and reused in the rain cycle (science!) by pouring it over the ground (not near anything you like, though. this was curse water so it’s not friendly until it rains again). Trash the bits of paper and then snip snip the threads on your poppet to pop him open. Pull out the stone(s), drop them in a stream to be cleansed by the water, then set your poppet somewhere nice and sunny and let him dry out. Once the water has drained from him and he’s dry again, trash him. Boom, curse undone.
Happy cursing witchy ones!
