Spell to Make Someone Unappealing to Others

Hey Occulties,

I have a confession to make. I have a really awesome Saturnian binding in my drafts folder. I've been wanting to post it basically since the same day I posted last… 😦 I really want to share it, but am then impeded by people who would think it's about them (because basically it involves people who violate contracts, and I've had 2-3 people get rotten about my hosting woes in the last few weeks.) I am tired of leaving you without anything, so let's just try a different spell article so I don't terrify people who, quite frankly, I probably should, but am not going to because I'm not really that mean. Also, blah blah blah, terms of service, blah blah blah, things people agree to, and blah blah disclaimer that I am not responsible for issues caused by my hosting provider so stop acting like I run Web.com (I don't) and am a crappy hosting service like them in an effort to annoy you, blah blah. 😉

Speaking of moving hosts… Considering that Mercury Retrograde is incoming very quickly, I am working super fast to get the business site ready for you ASAP. The blog is hosted by someone else so do not worry that it will move or change. :) 

However, given the season, perhaps we could still talk about something dark or "scary" and not the usual love stuff… In fact, let's try something people often tell me that they really want after dating a real churl of a person. It's not a nice spell – it is, in fact, somewhat childish, really, – but you might feel better when you're done. :) 

You will need a personal item for this – preferably clothing or hair. I REALLY REALLY love using old clothes, like…if they left a sock or some underwear there, this is going to be awesome. Why? Because they're going to smell. People ask me "Does this work on images?" I don't really believe so. If you went on one crappy Tinder date with someone and all you can do is get their image, I really don't think you'll have much luck. My experience is that you want something they have worn, or some hair (especially if they have long hair) for this to have a real impact. So…perhaps try a different curse for someone who you only have an image of – it would work better than this. 

You will need (eco-minded suggestions at asterisk):
A used, unwashed item of clothing from the target (or hair if they have long hair) or a PIECE of worn, unwashed clothing if the original item is too large.
A gallon, zip freezer bag, or for my eco-conscious readers (I LOVE YOU) a waxed paper container that can easily hold your clothing item*
A cardboard shoe box**
A pin
A drinking straw or hollow reed/bamboo
Old meat
Broccoli
Old bread
A piece of potato
A permanent marker
Optional: black thread
Optional: active yeast
Other optional directions***

OK, so basically here what we're doing is where going to be making something to represent your target out of their own clothing. If you've chosen hair, please sew a small bag out of 100% cotton cloth (or similar,) in it's place. You don't need any grand sewing ability. The marker is used to inscribe this person's name on the item, so do that now.

You start by holding the item belonging to the target in your right hand and say "(Full name of target,) this represents you, as it still holds your essence, and shall continue to represent you so long as I say or until it rots away." Repeat this a total of 9 times. Now stuff the food items (and the yeast if you have it,) into the clothing item. While you can just "fold this over," I like to use black thread to stitch it shut with NINE black X's. 

Now, hold the item in your hands and envision your target giving off the most noxious rotting smell that you can think of. See in your minds eye people turning away in disgust and even vomiting as your target walks by. Keeping this in your mind's eye, say "(Name of target, the stench of rot and stink follows you. As that within this piece of your clothes" (if you are using hair, put the hair into the bag with these items and say "within this bag,") "rots and writhes and molders and turns to slime, so does your body stink with this odor. Every stench that issues from within this fabric container is expelled through your skin!" repeat this command a total of NINE TIMES, then say "As is my will, so be it!"

Place this item into the bag (or into a relatively air-tight container), and then using your pin, poke small holes into the bag to allow air (but to prevent most insects) into the item. This will allow the rot to really fester and churn. Place this into your box, making sure the box is also ventilated and poking a large hole to allow a straw to remain above the surface once you have buried the item. 

The item should be buried in a place where the target is likely to pass near by to. It tends to be successful even if you can't manage that, but it really takes off with proximity. Bury it so the top of the straw or reed is exposed to air. As the items inside mold and rot, the target will begin to emit horrible odors. So, if your ex is off trying to charm others, the smell of them should soon make almost any prospective date want to leave as soon as possible. The item can be dug up and dismantled to either 1.) ensure you're not leaving bad things in the earth that can't biodegrade, or 2.) because you are done bothering this person. To stop them from "stinking" so much, try to peel the clothing item from the rotting food and give the clothing a quick rinse with holy water. Then dispose of all items in the trash. 

Happy Hexing!

*Throughout this spell, you are probably going to be really sad if the idea of burying plastic you won't retrieve weighs heavily on your mind. Do not despair. While, for starters, you can dig all of this up at any time (and I encourage it if you use plastic, because plastic sucks,) I write this for a wide audience who would, frankly, be overwhelmed by doing this in an eco-conscious manner. So, basically what we are looking for with the plastic bag is to create a more or less waterproof, insect proof container. You could do something similar with WAXED PAPER, though it will take some elbow grease and also probably some glue. 😉 Create a wax paper bag of about a gallon. OR use a non-rapidly biodegradable container, and put small holes which are UNLIKELY TO ALLOW most insects in. LINING the whole of the box with waxed paper is probably just fine, making sure the base is WELL COVERED and unlikely to leak. Use a hollow reed or bamboo instead of a straw. Even a waxed paper straw will do. I had someone do this in an old metal pot and didn't bury it but left it in the garage. When it got cold and it froze, she threw the whole pot (with lid!) out after ~2 months of making it. You could do that, too, but the stink is terrible. Remember, many clothing items are NOT FULLY BIODEGRADABLE. The simplest method to use seems to be to make a waxed-paper bag and place the items into this and then into a cardboard shoebox, and then you would only be "littering" the burial of a clothing item which may not be biodegradable by allowing the item to biodegrade and not retrieving it.

**Both bag and box can be replaced with a wooden cigar box where you have waxed the bottom and drilled very small holes in the top, or bored a large hole and covered it with mosquito wire. 

***Burial, as I said above, isn't necessary, but the smell gets REALLY BAD. In fact, in the warmest months, it can REEEEEEEK. Oxygen helps the food decay. If you can keep it "bug free" as long as possible, it will last longer. However, for the sake of argument, let's just say, you want to try going after someone for a week. Make the cloth part, stuff with food, and wrap it in newspaper. Then send it off to the dump. OR use a paper lunch bag – and again, throw this somewhere where it will have at least a few weeks before incineration. Let it fester in an old cooler you leave in the garage (make sure you can remove it) and then throw it away in the trash. Get creative. The idea is let the rotting food stink up the hair or clothing. If you're wondering, yes, it does tend to effect the part of the body which uses the item of clothing you're using. So underwear gives a stinky crotch. Socks make feet smell like vomit and old diapers. Hair makes hair stink. The containers like boxes and bags here are for YOU to be able to avoid the stench while also maximizing how long the item has to rot before it dessicates entirely. Be creative. I believe in you. :)
