Moriarty’s “Did You Miss me?” Curse

fyeahpopculturewitchcraft:

Anon requested Moriarty curses and although this probably wasn’t what they had in mind it’s the first thing that came to mind. To the anon: you may be getting a few curses, Moriarty is my favorite!

Intent: To strike the fear of God (all of them) into your enemies. This curse is meant to cause someone enough paranoia and fear that they think you’re after them and lurking over their should waiting to strike, even if you’re not.

Materials:

• wood or clay poppet (something sturdy)
• purple ribbon (longish)
• red marker
• herbs associated with fear, chaos, and mental connections (personally I chose chili pepper, anise, onion powder, and vervain but you can do whatever works for your correspondences. Make sure to research your herbs before using anything)
• cloth

Procedure:

1. Crush up all your herbs into a fine powder if they’re not in that state already

2. Lay the purple ribbon out flat and write the words “did you miss me?” over and over again with your marker.

3. When you’re done, rub the ribbon in the herbal mixture, especially the side with the words.

4. Tie the ribbon around your poppet’s feet with the words facing the poppet. Then slowly wrap the ribbon completely around the poppet. As you’re wrapping it around the head say:

I owe you a fall, and I won’t stop until I get it.

5. Wrap the poppet up in a cloth and keep in somewhere safe. Remember, the point of this curse is to make the person think you’re after them and lurking in the shadows. It’s more of a mental curse than a physical curse, so we want to keep the poppet safe.
