[Tutorial] Curse with clay and thorns

[AlfrunGrima]

This is a method with natural clay that doesn't need to be baked and you need thorns. It is not a quick curse method, you need some time for this. And it is a method where you have to put some effort in. You will certainly get dirty hands (and that is a good thing imho)

Collect a few hands full of all kinds of thorns on dark moon. The wilder a tree or plant grows, the better. I know some witches who collect every dark moon thorns, cut them from branches with a sharp knive, dry and store them for if needed. Not only for cursing, but for protection too. They store them in closed pots.... You need to dry the thorns too for this procedure.

Then burn the thorns and save the ashes. Mix the ashes with the clay. Make one piece of pottery from that mixture. Let dry. In the meanwhile you have to design a sigil that matches your intention. When it is dry, paint with a little bit of natural ink the sigil on the pot. Then go by night to a crossroad. Destroy that pot, make a hole in the ground, put it in there and cover it with earth. (And piss in the hole if you like, but that is up to practitioner. The curse works very good without) Leave the crossroad immediately without looking back. If you have earth or dirt on your hands or somewhere else, clean it. You can make it more powerful if you manage to destroy the pot during a thunderstorm with heavy lightning and loud thunders.

Splendid
You dig the hole first and then throw / smash the pot by throwing it in there, I assume?

 

[AlfrunGrima]

Yes! Excuse that I was not clear enough.

"If we mixed clay with thorns and crushed them together, would the impact be different, or would the outcome remain the same?"

If you do that, then the power of fire is not at hand anymore. So you have to find another way to incorporate fire in the method. Think here of fire as a starter to make the magic of the thorns even more stronger. Personally If find the ashes more powerful than the thorns alone.

Intensely burning oil, combined with a pinch of extremely hot red chili pepper, will yield magnificent results.
This is merely an initial proposition—a glimpse into the elemental mechanics of our craft. Through further discussion and practical inquiry, we shall uncover even more profound facets, bringing greater clarity to the dedicated practitioner.

This thread has really inspired me, and I keep thinking of (that torture device) Iron Maiden. Making the pot and lining the inside with thorns before sealing it up. Pray for the world that I won't have to make it!
