#aidans spells

I’ve been writing a lot of incantations lately and this is my take on a return to sender spell with maybe some spice. Hey, they struck first. This is pretty straight forward and all you’ll need is:

• an envelope
• paper and pen/pencil
• sea salt or beach sand
• spider web or knotted string
• bone dust or a small bone
• a tear (optional)
• poppy seed (optional)

note: If you feel uncomfortable with using spider web or bones, leave them out. You could also replace either item with something that looks like a bone— maybe sculpt something! Spider web represents something hard to get out of— tie and make a mess of some string instead. I made some choices such as dying my paper and envelope with coffee. Coffee is known to speed up a spell so this is simply to send this letter quickly. Poppy seed can be used to confuse or dominate people. I mix it with sea salt to represent something eating away at their protection and causing strife. You can see the contrast of black and white. I used a wax seal to close the letter and tied twine around the letter itself.

You’ll be making a petition paper of sorts! Write on your paper your target’s name and date of birth. Feel free to add a photo of them or whatever you do have. This person should be someone who genuinely caused you pain or tried to; you’re sending whatever negative energy back to them with tax.

The incantation is pretty literal so after you write your letter you’ll simply add it to your envelope and start reading the below lines. On the first stanza third line, “take no salt” add either your sea salt or beach sand. On stanza two when you say, “left a trail” this would be the time you sprinkle poppy seed. 

On stanza three line one, you’d add your spider web or knotted string. When you say, “bone dry” you’ll add your bone dust. On the final line, if you can muster a tear, you’d tap the tear on the envelope’s seal and rub it in with your thumb. You want them under your thumb now. Seal the letter and you’re done.

When you think the lesson is learned, take the letter out of the envelope and either keep it or dispose of it. I suggest burning it.

”Out of balance and out of hand

Twisting daggers in my back

Seal the wound and take no salt

Let my blood have a cost

It left a trail so the path is paved

Let them wish for better days

I have that map so they’ll be lost

The tides have turned and they are caught

Resting in their own little web

Quickly made their own bed

Leave them high and bone dry

Feeling low with damp eyes”
