“You Cannot Touch Her” Curse/Binding

This curse is particularly for people who have done harm in the past, and as such already known to be a potential threat. The idea is to keep the person from speaking to or approaching the one you’re trying to protect, and to make them feel watched and judged for their past actions.

You will need the following:

A jar big enough to hold a poppet

Some kind of poppet - I used a wooden one with the offender’s name written on the bottom. A photo could also be used

White out

A black candle

A mixture of black salt & cayenne pepper

A sigil of your own design meaning “You cannot touch [name or pronoun]”

A permanent marker

Light the candle and white out the mouth of your poppet. Roll the poppet in the mixture of black salt and cayenne pepper (black salt tends to stain so keep this in mind). Place it in the jar and seal the lid, leaving the poppet inside under the gaze of dozens of eyes. Write your sigil on the lid. During or after all of this, say the following aloud or think it to yourself (change pronouns accordingly):

You cannot touch her. You cannot speak to her. Think of her and bring this curse upon you. May your tongue catch in your throat if you dare to reach her. May you burn and ache if you come near. May you feel eyes upon your back each time you think her name. They’re watching. I’m watching. May you forever question the gaze of others - Do they know the things you’ve done? I do. I curse you. I bind you. You cannot touch her.

Stash the jar in a dark place, like a closet or a cabinet (I don’t recommend burying jars). Let the candle burn until it extinguishes itself.

Basil Lime Sugar Cookies

This is another recipe for kitchen magic. Basil is super helpful with just about anything- protection, health, joy etc. Mixed with lime I would say these cookies are good for a pick me up and can be charged to be a mood booster.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp lime juice (to taste tbh)

1 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour

1 egg

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Fresh finely chopped basil (I used like 10 leaves)

1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F

Beat together butter and sugar until combined

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt

To the butter/sugar mixture add egg, lime juice, vanilla extract, basil and salt. Mix

Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Dough should not be sticky to the touch

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper

My cookies did not spread out too much so you can place them relatively close on the tray. Just roll into a ball and place them wherever (May differ for yours so calculate your own risks)

Bake for 15-17 minutes until slight golden color at the bottoms. The cookie itself should stay pretty light so look for cracks along the top.

Let cookies rest on baking tray for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Additional Notes:

With any kind of kitchen magic it is what you make it. I charged all of my ingredients before baking and while mixing thought of the intentions I wanted behind them. They were quite literally made with love.

Merry Yuletide Loves!
