We believe that to effectively counter a curse, one must first understand what a curse is and how it is cast.
Curses must be neutralized in the same way they were cast. Therefore, a practitioner must first know how a curse is cast in order to nullify its effects, since the techniques for casting a counter-curse are similar (but in the opposite direction) to those used to cast a curse.
After all, the same principle applies to poisons. If one does not know the characteristics and properties of a poison, it is impossible to create—or even select—the appropriate antidote. This secret knowledge is one of the indispensable and foundational elements for the serious practitioner.
Timeframes for Performing a Spell
Those who perform spells also have a good knowledge of astrology, since the effectiveness of a ritual depends on the celestial positions of the planets.
What Is a Spell
A spell (curse or enchantment) is a magical act performed remotely or directly on a person by a practitioner—that is, a magician—with the intent of causing harm to the designated victim.
In truth, the term “spell” is generic, as it refers to both magical procedures intended for good and those intended for evil.
However, in this context, we will consider the term synonymous with “curse” or “black magic”—that is, a magical ritual performed with the aid of the devil (or his agents) intended to harm a person or to make the designated victim fall in love.
In practice, a “curse” falls within the realm of “actions at a distance” that set very negative forces in motion.
Performing a “curse” correctly is not something everyone can do, as it requires a certain level of both theoretical and practical expertise, as well as considerable hands-on experience. Above all, the practitioner must have been initiated by a magician who has granted them the “authority” to both harm and defend.
In other words, the Black Magician, a practitioner of black magic, is not a novice but someone who knows exactly what to do and how to do it. His will is directed toward a specific goal.
The same can be said of the magician who performs a counter-spell—that is, those magical operations intended to free the victim from the effects of a curse.
Certainly, in the field of astrology, the lunar phases have a fundamental influence on the outcome of a magical action. In fact, the “New Moon” and “Full Moon” phases are essential in magic; the New Moon is suitable for rituals aimed at building, growing, and developing, while the Full Moon (conversely) is suitable for all magical activities aimed at destroying, regressing, and diminishing.
The days of the week are also suited for performing certain types of spells.
In general, following tradition, we can say that the seven days are divided as follows:
Sunday: For spells aimed at obtaining honors and wealth;
Monday: Suitable for spells of union and separation;
Tuesday: For spells of hatred, death, and revenge;
Wednesday: For spells related to business and commerce;
Thursday: For spells and incantations concerning money and prosperity;
Friday: For all love spells and rituals;
Saturday: For spells of death, illness, destruction, and poverty;

Saturday: For spells of death, illness, destruction, and poverty;
Each day is ruled by a planet, and so is every hour of the day. In his work, the Magician takes into account both the day and the hour at which to begin and end a ritual. Equally important is the Moon’s position in the twelve signs of the zodiac. Here’s how the zodiacal sign occupied by the Moon is used in spells:
Moon in Aries and Scorpio: For spells of hatred, death, and revenge;
Moon in Taurus and Libra: For all spells and rituals concerning love and relationships;
Moon in Gemini and Virgo: For spells concerning business, study, and commerce;
Moon in Cancer: A position suitable for spells of union and separation;
Moon in Leo: For spells aimed at obtaining honors and wealth;
Moon in Sagittarius and Pisces: For spells and incantations concerning money and prosperity;
Moon in Capricorn and Aquarius: For spells of death, infirmity, ruin, and misery;
Generally, a serious practitioner is able to evaluate all these astrological elements, including in relation to the zodiac sign in which the victim’s horoscope is located.
Still on the subject of when a spell is cast, it’s important to note that there are certain dates that are particularly significant from a magical perspective, such as February 2 (Candlemas or Imbolc), April 30 (Beltane), August 1 (Lughnasad), and October 31 (All Saints’ Day or Samhain).
Other important days include Christian Easter, Christmas Eve, March 21 (Spring Equinox or Ostara), June 21 (Summer Solstice or Litha), September 22 (Fall Equinox or Mabon), and December 21 (Winter Solstice or Yule).
Materials Used
One of the fundamental laws of magic states that certain substances, stones, metals, seals, incense, powders, potions, etc., possess magical power that effectively influences people. This “magical power” stems from the fact that everything in creation is connected, through an occult bond, to one of the seven classical planets.
Therefore, gold, olibanum, the color yellow, the rooster, heliotrope, citrine quartz, etc., are all things associated with the Sun.
Silver, myrrh, the color white, lavender, adularia, etc., are all things associated with the Moon.
This is the so-called “law of analogy.”
Following this law, a sorcerer who wishes to harm a designated victim combines a token from that victim with an object (metal, stone, seal, etc.) associated with a malefic planet. Traditionally, there are two malefic planets: Saturn and Mars.
Using Mars, the black magician will cast spells designed to cause accidents, violent death, anxiety, quarrels, etc.
Using Saturn, the spell will be designed to cause chronic illnesses, depression, sadness, death, suicide, etc.
An example of analogical use is provided by a simple “iron nail.” Iron is a metal ruled by the planet Mars; therefore, a nail can be used for a magical action analogically associated with the planet Mars, and thus can be used to cause an accident, an injury, a quarrel, etc.—all things that depend on the “Red Planet.”
Defense is also governed by the same celestial body, so the same nail can be used equally for protective purposes, depending on the spell and the magician’s specific intent.
The Magician and His Concentration
Generally, ordinary people are able to concentrate on any subject for only a short time. Their minds jump from one thought to another, from one topic to another, without the slightest control, resulting in a significant dissipation of energy.
The magician, however, when performing a magical operation, is able to powerfully focus his thoughts and will toward the goal he has set for himself, even for a considerable period of time.
In practice, the magician’s mind behaves like a sort of “magnifying glass” capable of concentrating all mental energies toward a single focal point.
These energies are then projected onto the materials being used. Without proper concentration, it is impossible to carry out any magical operation. Certainly, this requires considerable self-control, which can only be acquired through practice and direct experience.
Furthermore, it should be noted that those who practice seriously are privy to certain secrets that are certainly not passed on to “just anyone.” In the transmission of these mysteries, there is usually a familial bond and a specific ritual to ensure the effective transfer of power.
One does not become a magician through “self-initiation,” as some modern publications would have us superficially believe. We state this as a warning; in fact, a complete ritual for a spell or a counter-spell in the wrong person’s hands could harm both the victim and the practitioner. In other words, one does not play with fire with impunity.
Two Main Types of Spells
Generally speaking, we can say that there are two types of spells.
The Direct Spell — that is, one cast directly on the victim using potions, charms, powders, etc.
Indirect Spell — Cast from a distance using a “witness,” that is, a photograph, an object that belonged to the person, or organic particles from their body (blood, hair, body hair, nail clippings, etc.).
Direct Spells
A spell is called “direct” when it is cast using a preparation (powder, concoction, potion, etc.) or a magically treated object.
In the first case, the sorcerer uses special preparations—in liquid or powder form—made by mixing a multitude of ingredients.
This results in a magic potion or elixir, which is administered to the victim by being secretly mixed into food or dissolved in drinks, or by being placed in direct contact with the person or with the clothing they will wear.
In the second case, however, an object is magically enchanted and can then be secretly hidden in the victim’s home or in the immediate vicinity. Often, the “cursed” object is given as a gift so as not to arouse even the slightest suspicion in the person being targeted.
As a famous saying goes, “The devil only caresses you when he wants your soul.”
The Indirect Curse
The “Indirect Curse” is used when the sorcerer wishes to harm the victim from a distance, without direct intervention. This type of curse is more difficult to detect—of course, “difficult” only for those who lack the appropriate means to investigate.
In an indirect curse, the sorcerer works through a suitable “medium” that contains the victim’s own energy.
There are countless items that can serve as such a medium: hair, body hair, saliva, fingernails, a photo, etc. Clothing and personal items are also used—even a simple and seemingly harmless cigarette butt.
Widely used are “dagide” (little dolls) made of wax, plaster, or clay, as well as rag dolls, which serve as simulacra of the victim and are pierced with needles, pins, or nails. Other items used by sorcerers include the hearts, heads, or other body parts of animals such as cats, dogs, toads, roosters, goats, etc.
Below are the most common methods for casting an indirect spell:
Piercing
Decay
Knot-Tying
Destruction by Fire
Piercing involves piercing a wax or cloth dagida with pins or other
sharp objects. By piercing the doll in a specific area, the black magician inflicts harm on the corresponding part of the victim’s body.
If the dagida is pierced in the area of vital organs, the result can even be a slow and continuous deterioration of the affected person’s body.
The most important object in a piercing spell is certainly the effigy (the dagida), which can be made from various materials.
The most common is virgin beeswax, to which organic elements from the victim or another “witness” are added.
Putrefaction consists of causing the organic matter—generally an animal or part of one—to rot, serving as a “witness” for the victim.
In this way, the very process of the organic matter’s decay is transferred via an “occult bond” to the designated person.
Sometimes, in spells of this type, the sorcerer places a garment belonging to the victim in a container of water to cause it to rot. The garment is then burned, and the ashes are buried, causing illness and wasting away.
Knot-tying is based on the analogical association “knot = obstacle.”
In knot-tying, the sorcerer usually ties seven or nine knots while simultaneously intending to harm the person with each knot. Typically, the sorcerer ties together threads, rags, strings, hair, shoelaces, etc.—basically any material on which knots can be tied.
The knotted bundle is then placed in the victim’s home (usually under the mattress or inside a pillow) so that it can work more effectively.
Finally, Destruction by Fire. The black magician performs this type of indirect spell by burning (with a ritual fire or a candle flame) certain objects that represent the victim, such as the customary dagida or other “testimonies.”
Generally, these objects are burned together with poisonous herbs, such as hemlock, jimsonweed, mistletoe, etc., in order to harm the victim through the toxic fumes produced during combustion.
However, it should be noted that the technique of destruction by fire is generally the least commonly used in curses. In fact, fire is more of an element of purification and atonement. For this reason, fire is used primarily in counter-curse rituals.
Moon in Aries and Scorpio: For spells of hatred, death, and revenge;
Moon in Taurus and Libra: For all spells and rituals concerning love and relationships;
