Is someone standing in your way, preventing you from fulfilling your dreams or getting what you want? When all other tactics fail, you can use black magic, also called dark magic, to bring about the outcome you desire. Black magic is thought to be fueled by powerful forces and evil spirits, so it's important to know what you're getting into before you start casting spells or performing hexes—otherwise you might be the one who gets harmed. If you want to learn how to use black magic to change the course of your future, keep reading.

Placing a Hex

  1. Draw a circle using chalk or a stick, then draw a pentagram inside it. Alternately, you may draw a sacred circle on a piece of paper large enough to stand on. Light candles around the circle before you step inside.
    • Candle magic is thought to enhance the power of a spell by tapping into the elements, which are represented by the different parts of the candle—fire, air (to feed the flame), water (liquid wax), and earth (solid wax). Set an intention for your spell as you light the candles. [1]
  2. Repeat the words of power 3 times. Here are a few examples of words you can use to place your hex:
    • To cast a binding spell and prevent the person from taking actions, repeat, "I bind your feet from bringing you to harm me. I bind your hands from reaching out to harm me. I bind your mouth from spreading tales to harm me. I bind your mind from sending energy to harm me." [2] Say this while wrapping the poppet in black ribbon.
    • To cast a love spell over someone you desire, say the words, "Bright the flame. Light the fire. Red is the color of desire."

  3. Once they have burned completely, the hex has been cast.
  4. A poppet is a small magical doll, also known as a voodoo doll . Choose a piece of black cloth and cut 2 layers in the shape of a small person. The shape should look vaguely similar to the person on whom you want to place a hex. [3] Sew the edges together but leave the top of the head unsewn.
    • Black cloth is best, but if you don't have it on hand, you can use another color.
    • Your poppet should be created from all natural materials. Avoid using polyester fabric or other man-made fabrics; black magic is not as easily conducted through manmade materials.
  5. Fill it up with earth, a few powerful crystals, and hair and nail clippings from the person you want to hex. Sew up the head to close the poppet.
    • Ideally, the poppet should contain something the person you’re hexing has had physical contact with. If you can’t get their hair or nails, try anything they’ve touched or owned, like a piece of clothing or even a note they wrote.

Performing a Ritual

  1. This powerful symbol is present during most black magic rituals. It is traditionally drawn in the ground using a wand hewn from a hazel tree. You may use a stick or another implement to draw the symbol if Hazelwood isn't available. Choose a strategic location that will give your spell the best chance to work.
    • Spirits will have a harder time visiting a location that's populated by a lot of people, so choose a place in the woods or another area not frequently visited.
    • Graveyards are a classic place to choose if you're planning on conjuring the dead.
  2. Once inside, gather your concentration and energy. You will need all the energy within you to complete the spell. Don't let yourself get distracted.
  3. Each spell has different words of power that are recited to achieve the outcome you want. If you are summoning a demon or some other spirit, you must learn its true name before the spell will work.
    • There is no one spell that will work to bring true love, give you immortality, and so on. Do research to find a spell, or write your own if you'd like.
  4. A grimoire is a sort of textbook for spells, with instructions on how to use black magic.
    • Another name for a grimoire is a “Book of Shadows.” You can create your own Book of Shadows or use one that was already compiled by another magic practitioner. One famous example is The Witches’ Way, by Janet Farrar and Stewart Farrar.
  5. If your spell works, the outcome you desire will take effect. Prepare for this, and also prepare for the evil that may come.
    • If you have summoned a demonic beast or evil spirit, treat it with respect. These creatures do not necessarily have loyalty to their summoner.

Understanding Black Magic

PDF download Download Article
  1. The ritual you use to perform black magic will depend on your desired outcome. There are different rituals for everything from casting a spell to gain wealth to raising the dead from their graves. Most rituals involve the following elements:
    • A site is chosen for casting the curse or spell.
    • A circle is drawn on the casting site, and a pentacle is drawn inside the circle. This is called a circle of power.
    • Candles, herbs, crystals, charms, and other materials are employed to help draw out the spirits. [4]
    • Words of power (relevant to the particular outcome you want) are repeated 3 times.
  2. Awakening the forces of darkness can be a serious move and should not be done lightly. [5] The threefold law (Wiccan Rede) states that what you put forth comes back to you threefold. Do you feel so strongly about using black magic that you're willing to suffer should the magic come back to harm you? Be sure that the outcome you are hoping to obtain is completely worth it.
  3. What trouble is plaguing you so much that you want to use black magic to correct it? Black magic is considered a dark art because you use it to get what you want by means of controlling someone else or harming them with negative energy. [6] If your aim is to help others or bring about some form of peace and justice, look into white magic instead. If you want to practice magic for personal gain, black magic is what you should use. Here are common reasons why people use black magic:
    • To keep someone bound in place. If someone is harming you and you wish to stop them, you can use a binding spell to stop the person's actions.
    • To cause someone to be attracted to you. Love spells are among the most popular when it comes to black magic.
    • To achieve immortality or improve your health.
    • To communicate with the dead.
  4. Aside from conducting a classic black magic ritual, there are other ways to perform black magic. Placing a curse or hex is done to bring ill fortune to another person, or to make them do what you want them to do. Be very careful about using curses and hexes. It's up to you to determine whether your reasons for wanting to bring misfortune to another person are valid. You must use your power wisely.

    How can I do magic on someone from my eyes or hands?
    Community Answer
    By visualizing your purpose (the desirable outcome) in a form energy coming out of your eyes or your hands and going into the person or the object you want to enchant. Feel the outcome, see it becoming a reality and believe in your powers.

  • Question
    Is any of this real?
    Community Answer
    That depends on your perspective. There are some who believe it is. There are many who believe it is not because they have a different set of faith-based approaches and consider it to be blasphemous. And there are those who would like to see the scientific evidence before trusting that any of this has any measurable or actual effect whatsoever. Do your research and be a critical thinker.

  • Question
    I want to control people's minds.
    Community Answer
    Wouldn't we all? Then we could have other people feed us, clothe us and massage our feet and we'd never have to get up with the alarm clock every morning and commute to a cubicle job that drives us to want to use black magic. Unfortunately, wanting to control people's minds is the first sign of having resigned your place on this plane and shows signs of wanting to live in an imaginary world where you're divine. Since that isn't going to happen any time soon, stick with being nice, polite and reciprocal with your fellow human beings. That'll get you much further in this world.

      • You have to feel the magic inside. If you don't, it might be because you don't believe, and if you don't believe, it won't work! Don't think and instead feel the magic inside you.
      • In black magic, there is no good or evil. Black magic is about knowing and accepting your shadow, the things you fear, and yourself.

      Warnings

      • Don't go around hexing/cursing everyone! Casting too many spells at once or too close to each other can drain your energy and make the spells less powerful. Be careful.
