This blog post is going to be fun!
On occasion I come across spells that are shared on Facebook and other places on the internet. Some of these spells are helpful and can be a source of inspiration for the Witch, but the majority of the spells I read are just foolishness with many of them being piles of ... dare I say ... shit. I would like to take the opportunity to share with you some of the spells I come across and explain to you whey I think the spell is either a possible source of inspiration or why it's complete shit. I will also offer ways to edit or restructure the spell to make it workable with substitutions or additional correspondences. Let's begin ...

I would like to take the opportunity to share with you some of the spells I come across and explain to you whey I think the spell is either a possible source of inspiration or why it's complete shit. I will also offer ways to edit or restructure the spell to make it workable with substitutions or additional correspondences. Let's begin ...
The spell suggests that it is a Warning Spell and a good substitute for a hex, I think they mean curse, when your emotions of fear and anger seem to be taking over, but after reading the incantation I first thought that it was more of a Return To Sender Spell, but then I realized the intention was not particularly clear as there seems to also be a focus on cursing someone who has lied.
I’m not entirely certain that this incantation would actually manifest the desired results since the intentions are muddled at best. And I would never write a spell with words such as “my blood turns black and flesh turns blue” because if you believe that as Witch you have the ability to manipulate energy to create a change within you or your environment and can do so with your spoken words, which I honestly would hope you do otherwise why bother casting the spell, what sort of condition would you as the caster be in if this were to happen? You would not be in any condition to worry about someone else because after a quick search on the internet I’ve discovered that if your blood has turned black it is an indication that your blood is old and has begun to dry out and if your skin is blue you are suffering from a blood disorder, poor circulation, or inadequate oxygen levels; all conditions that I would not care to experience. Perhaps better wording of this might be; “Your blood turns black and flesh turns blue, I will curse you if you force me to …”, if reworded in this way the intention is not on the caster, but the target, which would make much more sense, though with the edit it becomes a clear cursed state and not a warning.
I am unclear as to what is meant by “from left with sighs and negative ties, I clear your eyes, and curse your lies”; though I suppose we could look to the direction being left as something that is not altruistic, thinking in terms of the Left-Hand Path and self-actualization and the reference to “sighs” could be the idea of moaning and suffering or a condition filled with anxiety and tension. “Negative ties” may refer to the target being caught up in negative conditions and not being able to escape them … so I see that this wording may actually work. I find it interesting that the word “curse” is used within the incantation even though the introduction at the top suggests that it is to be used to build strength to take charge of your emotions.
So the second reference to the “blood gone black and flesh of blue” suggests that the target is the receiver of this condition as an indication that “the evil” has been received by the target after it was returned. Now, this makes sense to me. I think the first line was edited so that it was written as less of a curse, but with the edit it makes no sense to me. The last few lines truly are an indication that this is not a spell to help build inner strength, but to outright curse someone who has done the Witch wrong and has perhaps attempted to curse the Witch.
After reviewing this incantation it appears to me that someone was uncomfortable with the fact that someone wrote a curse and wanted to edited it to be more “friendly”, but the intention within the written words and references made are clearly creating a cursed condition on the intended target. So if I were to use this incantation as it was meant to be used, as a curse I would personally use the following correspondences and items when casting it. This spell really calls for a poppet, which I would ensure was made with blue and black materials and since there is a specific target I would be sure to use a taglock (an item from the target such as nail clippings, hair, clothing, bodily fluid) and place it inside the poppet. I would use water and pour some over the poppet's eyes when I spoke the line about clearing their sight. I would also have some flies since I mentioned them within the incantation as the source that I would be drawing power from. I may not have a plague of them, but I would have at least one, alive or dead, nearby as the avatar for the flies I will be summoning my power from and I would align myself with the energies of that insect. I might actually spend some time prior to casting to develop a feel for the vibrational frequency of a fly if I am not already familiar with it. I would certainly burn the poppet as I said the line that references the soul burning.
I would burn a loose incense made of cayenne (for burning), cloves (for personal purification), mustard (to enhance my mental powers), and mullein (to grant me courage and protection from the Ancestors).
I would light one black (shadow), white (bone), and red (blood) candle and anoint each with Dragon's Blood oil to enhance my intention.
